He is 9 1/2 months old and when I put him to cry himself to sleep he throws up. I let him cry for about 15 minutes and then I go to him. There has to be another way to put him to sleep. It breaks my heart to see him cry and throw up. Please someone help me. What are some other ways that I can put him to sleep without crying or throwing up.

Well for one thing you shouldn't let your baby cry himself to sleep to the point he throws up! Have you tried putting him in his crib AFTER he falls asleep? He won't want to sleep if he's not sleepy...not even my son who's 15 months old won't fall asleep if he doesn't want to. And if he gets so emotional and stressed over sleeping by himself he will be traumatized everytime you try to put him in his crib. Please don't let him do that!
Try to sing to him, give him a bath, warm milk, a massage things that will relax him. Allow him to fall asleep with you and then put him in his crib. Eventually he will take to it, but you have to go at HIS pace, not your own. I wish you the best, and please, don't let that baby cry to the point of throwing up anymore! :(

This is a process and it may take some time to get all the kinks worked out. You want to make it a regular routine. Start by turning down all the lights and tvs or radios or whatever. Make your home a quiet soothing place in the evening. You may wait a few minutes for your child to adjust to the new scenario. Then sit quietly with your child and read a story or sing a song. Let him know that this is quiet time. Before long your son will settle into a night time routine and be ready to sleep. Make sure that you put him in his crib before he is completely asleep. The last place he sees before he sleeps is the first place he should see when he wakes up otherwise it could scare him and become traumatic. If he fusses let him. When he gets to screaming simply go into his room reasure him that he is alright and that you aren't too far away from him. When he settles down leave his room again. This probably will take several nights. But DON'T GIVE IN. It will be exhausting but hey it's all part of parenting.... soon bedtime will be a peaceful transition for you both. And believe me you will never regret those few exhausting nights.

Do have have a wind down routine? I usually hold mine and let her watch tv (the wiggles or whatever) and we cuddle until she is sleepy, then I put her in bed with her mobile turned on. She cries sometimes, but not always. You can rock him almost to sleep, then put him to bed and slowly decrease the amount of rocking time. Have you tried sitting in the room with him when he cries, and slowly move your chair out after a few days or a week? Try this book too, the no cry sleep solution by elizabeth pantley.

Try rocking him to sleep or simply let him wear himself out before getting him to bed. Skip a late nap in the day. Try lieing down with him until he falls asleep. He is throwing up because he gets so upset. Possibly if you were near him he wouldn't get so upset to where he vomits.

She could also be having a "progress spurt". She is developing plenty correct now and might want extra meals. I doubt it's the components. Could she be teething? That would intent her to wake within the night time and sucking at the bottle might make her tooth and gums suppose bigger. If she is teething, take a look at giving her a few Tylenol Infant Drops (determine with general practitioner for dosage) earlier than mattress. It is average for her to move via levels of well dozing and waking up at night time. It will most likely go. My son awoke each and every four hours or to be able to consume till he used to be 6 months.

Letting any baby cry it out is pretty cruel... some doctors will say this is the best, but they don't really know what your baby needs....
Try to establish a good bedtime routine... bath, book, rocking and then laying the baby down...
This is the time your baby needs you... pretty soon they become very independent... cherish the moments when your baby will actually let you rock him/her to sleep.
Good luck =)

You can give him a pacifier and rock him to sleep. Or my sister goes into a dark room and just walks around with my niece and she will eventually go to sleep but it takes time.

only put him down after he's already started to fall asleep. i had to do this with a kid i used to watch, she would scream and scream and scream for HOURS on end so i would have to carry her around and let her lay on the couch until she started to fall asleep and THEN put her to bed just so she wouldnt keep the other 4 kids awake

well, you first need to play with him/her, then give him/her a bath with Johnson's lavender bath time, then feed him/her, but not to much. the throwing up maybe from being feed to much before bed. put music on in the babies room, and some light.

Cuddle him! Lie next to him...
Try different things out and you'll find something that works.
Just don't leave that poor baby to cry!
