Hey Shannon, the 4 th trimester is a time of on the go naps. As the brain advances, around 16 weeks, you will want all naps to be in a dark, quiet, non-motion, consistent place - like the crib. White noise machine and black out curtains can give your family more rest. It is the top choice to prevent sleep issues in babies. Feel free to start the curtains and the white noise now, you may get more rest. |
My 14 month old wakes every hour to nurse back to sleep. He sleeps 3-4 hr stretches when I finally put him in bed with me after midnight. What should I do???

Why does my daughter scream before bed every night? Or even before naps in the daytime?

My 10 month old wakes 2-3 times per night and will only go back to sleep if I nurse her. I’d love to sleep through the night again, help!

Holly, |
My 14 month old is a really good sleeper, but he doesn’t have a set sleep schedule. Usually he needs to fall asleep with my husband or myself before we can lay him down and he tends to wake up and panic when he makes it to the crib. After a few tries we tend to give up and just let him sleep with us. Any suggestions?

State. If they fall asleep in arms, then wake up somewhere else.....it feels like a trick. It is startling to them. Insert - Whaaa whaaa. Where is mom and dad?!?! |

Consistency is key! My recommendation is to work on your system before age 18 months (oppositional phase begins -- No!). I would pick a soothing method from the first blog - no checks, timed checks, or chair method. Pick a sleeping surface and be consistent with the surface...don't reward crying with the family bed (AAP recommends the crib to reduce SIDS). And, lay your baby down in a quiet, yet awake state. |
