When will he sleep through the night??

I am still praying and believing that my little man will adjust and finally start sleeping through the night.  Anyone else out there have a baby that refuses to sleep in long spurts?  He goes to sleep around 7:30-8 and then is up around 11:30 and then every 2-2.5 hours after that??  I am trying to get him to learn some self soothing techniques...any ideas?  He is a really good boy but struggling with the whole waking up so often.  He is 10 months old and has 2 teeth with more coming.

only thing that ever worked for me was Ferber. However, don't do it during teething, big transitions or big milestones...It wont work. My girls never really cried more than 15 mins.

Another book I really liked was the No Cry Sleep solution. It gave so many great ideas that I used along with the Ferber method, which I think helped things along. I really liked the idea of setting routines, etc. For instance I sing the exact same song to my girls when I am putting them to bed. When I start to sing that song they know that it is time to go to sleep. Good Luck! I know how hard it can be :)

Aww, I'm sorry to hear this - this must make for one tired Momma! I remember the days well (my son is 2.5) and sometimes I even MISS them!

I still semi-swaddled Logan when I put him down when he was about 9 months old. I can't remember how long I did this for, though... I just kind of rolled him up in a blanket like a little rollie pollie. :) It worked for him.

I hope you find something that works soon! :)

oh no! this is what we did with our first and continued the routine with alex (9 months old) - they are both sleeping from 730-630am (though i dont get them out of their room until 7am).

after dinner (6pm), clean up and bathtime, get ready for bed.

once ready - dim lights, no tv, no music/radio. we read books. whether it is all together or andrew "reads" to alex (he's the 2 yr old). we just keep it quiet and calm.

7 rolls around and it is bedtime. they share a room, so they do talk to each other, but they fall asleep rather quickly.

if that doesnt work - let him fuss for a bit. it will not hurt him to fuss for 10 minutes. just dont get him up. go in and tell him you love him and its time for nite nite and walk out. it may take a few days, but it will be WELL WORTH IT!

good luck! i'm here for ya girl!

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
