Colton is still not sleeping through the night. I think we have tried just about everything. It's driving me nuts. He used to sleep though, starting about 4mo; but it stopped when he was 6mo old and he hasn't been sleeping through since. Although, he is better. He started getting up 2-3 times during the night, and now he only gets up once. And the time is random, sometimes its 2am; sometimes 5am; can be anytime inbetween. I know he is still tired as he will hardly open his eyes, he just starts squirming, then whining, and if I dont feed him by then he will start the full on crying.
I tried giving him water, which he took but still kept waking up.. this went on for about 2 months until he started getting smart and wont take water now.. he will scream for some formula.
I tried putting some cereal in his last bottle, of 8oz (which he drinks all of). That worked the first night and hasn't worked since.
When we get his new crib we are going to let him CIO. We started doing this which got him asleep on his own at the beginning of the night (2 nights I got him after 20min, 3rd night he fell asleep on his own after 30min, 4th night he fell asleep after 10min, then his crib broke ) but we still have the problem of him waking in the middle of the night. I do normally bring him to our bed in the middle of the night because I'm sooo tired.
So what do you suggest? Should I try not bring him into our bed in the middle of the night? Try letting him CIO when he wakes?
Any tips on how you got your LOs to sleep through?!
I'm desperate for a full nights sleep again.
