Sleeping All Night

To get your child to sleep through the night, You may try a bottle of water, or even a sippy cup with water or milk for a little while. Do you use a night-light?

For awhile, I was just holding my daughter until she crashed -- just holding her, but not feeding her. A lot of shuushing and calming words.

I also used the CIO (cry it out) method. Let them cry for 5 minutes before you go to them. And even when you go in you don't pick them up. Just tell them you are there and that everything is ok -- and again more shuushing and calming words.

With My Daughter, she had some days that she was crying a lot to get to bed and we had to calm her down by letting her eat little bits of crushed ice, and then she would go to sleep. It took a good month or two before I could say it truly went really smooth, but there were euphoric moments in there.

Hang in there!!!
