Answer 1

As long as your pediatrician has said that she has the nutrition and weight gain needed to sleep through the night, try this. It's not easy, but with patience it will work.

Put her to bed awake. Let her cry for five minutes and then go into the room, leaving the lights off. Reassure her that it's ok and tell her it's time to go to bed. Don't pick her up. After ten more minutes of letting her cry, go back in and do the same thing as before. After fifteen more minutes, do the same thing. After this time, you can pick her up for a few minutes- but only if necessary. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes until she's asleep. Same thing goes if she wakes during the night.

It may take a couple days and is very hard on the parents to do, but it will work if you give it time and patience.

Answer 2

It is pretty touch and go for a long time. My son started sleeping thru the night at around 10 months but even so there were still a few nights a week I would have to get up and rock him back to sleep. Now he is 21 months old and unless he is sick I can pretty much count on an 11 hour sleep night

Answer 3

Babies have to be trained to sleep through the night usually. Babies are in the habit of waking and getting that waking/crying rewarded with some snuggling and nice warm formula/breastmilk. Once they are old enough to make it through the night biologically without a meal (about 4 months, when they start solids, in my opinion), many still want to keep up the old habit. As the parent, it is your job to help them break that habit. You must let her cry and not respond. Any response from you reinforced the behaviour you want to stop. PUt her to bed with a full tummy, clean diaper, close the door, and DON'T GO BACK TILL MORNING no matter how much she cries. It will NOT hurt her, and it will only take between three and seven nights to cure her of this bad habit.

Answer 4

She should be sleeping thru by now, first of all establish a really good routine during the day, don't think by depriving her of sleep during the day she will then sleep at night.She should have at least an hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.Make sure that you get plenty of exercise with her and make sure that she is well fed in the afternoon so that she doesn't wake up hungry!
At 7 months she maybe teething and waking up in pain, make sure that you have Calpol or equivalent to hand so that she can be put back in her cot without too much fuss. Good luck

" However, even in the 12-month-old group, 50% of infants typically required parental intervention to get back to sleep after waking. Results emphasize the individual and contextual factors that effect the development of self-soothing behavior during the first year of life. "

Prof Care Mother Child 1994 Aug-Sep;4(6):166-7.


In this study, part of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ALSPAC), researchers surveyed the parents of 640 babies. Some of the results:

Only 16% slept through the night at six months old -- 84% were not sleeping through the night at 6 months
17% woke more than once per night, ranging from twice to eight times
5% woke once every night
9% woke most nights
50% woke occasionally
16% of six-month-olds had no regular sleeping pattern

Sleeping through the night: 71.4% did this on at least one occasion by 3 months of age, but many of these relapse into more frequent waking in the 4 to 12 month period. It is not until after 24 months that regular night waking (requiring attention) becomes much less common.

Answer 6

It varies. Some sleep thru within the first few months and some babies still wake up during the night at a year old. Try to determine why she is waking up. Is it because she is hungry, wet or just wants to play. If she is hungry, maybe you need to feed her cereal and formula right before bed. If she is wetting thru, try another diaper(Luvs was the only one that my kids didn't we thru). If she wants to play, put some safe toys and books in ther crib at night so she can keep herself ocuppied when she does wake up. She needs to learn to put herself back to sleep. If she is still napping, try adjusting the times so that she is awake for a longer period of time before bed. Also, you can push her bedtime to later and see if that works. It is trial and error until you find out how her body responds to the schedule.

Answer 7

My son is almost 7 months old and he still doesn't sleep through the night. Some children don't until they are around a year old and some even after that.

Answer 8

I think it depends on the baby. My daughter slept through the night at 3 months, i was very lucky. I don't think I did anything wonderful. She slept in her bassinet when i brought her home from the hospital until she was 3 months. During that time I would take her out to nurse her and sometimes we would fall asleep together. After 3 months I moved her to her crib. It depends on your baby. My friends' son won't sleep through the night and refuse to sleep in his crib. Good luck, do what's best for you and your daughter.

Answer 9

every baby is different mine is 8.5 months and he sleeps at the most 5-6 hrs a night before waking and eating changing diaper and then i lay him down again.I have learned that a nice warm soothing bath about 30 min before bed seems to really help also if the room is too hot they will wake up.My routine I bath then i feed and lights out.try it your baby could be teething so maybe a little tylenol baby of course before bed on those nights when its really bad and use baby orajel sparingly my doc says it can damage their gums.Good luck.

Answer 10

Deal with it. Shes a baby, she wakes up for a reason, figure out the reason, satisfy her. I know your lacking sleep but that is expected when you become a mom. If you can't deal with this, then you should of thought of it before you had her, and bought a puppy instead, but then again, they can keep you up all night as well.
So many parents complain about their child waking up at night. It drives me nuts, Im a new mom, my daughter is 6 months old, and I love it when she wakes up, gives us one on one time together, a chance to bond. Am I lacking sleep, YES, do I care, NO. Im nuturing my child and being there for her when she needs me. My neice is 3 and she still gets up during the night, its a thing parents have to deal with, and well now your one of us, so deal with it.
