13mths getting a boy to sleep

Hi I got a 13 months old boy, who I put him to bed at 8pm then he wakes up at 10pm. if I dont give him his dummy he cracks it with me and a bottle of milk doesnt make no differents, but when I take his dummy out he cracks it with me. What am I doing wrong? How do I get my son to sleep? thanks

Answer #1

maybe some soft music in the background behind a nice warm bath with a hot bottle he’ll be sleep in no time…n if that doesn’t work get some of that calming lotion it knock my little girl out for hours I think she didn’t wake up till 12

Answer #2

thanks, im being trying heaps of things he is still awake but laying down in his cot starring at me is that normal?

Answer #3

The problem is probably that he is beginning to become more aware separateness… and the important thing is to try to keep the sleep experience a positive one for your baby and to be consistent with your response to wakefulness at night.

When he wakes up in the night and cries for you, I think that you have really remember not to reward this behavior or it may continue for a long time. Reassure him quietly that you’re there, but then send the message that he or she needs to go back to sleep. The best bet may be a soothing pat on the back, a repositioning of the blanket, and a quick exit. If you are firm and consistent about requiring your baby to put herself or himself back to sleep, this stage should pass pretty quickly.

=] I hope this helped a bit… =]

Best of luck
