Help!! My 16 month old still wakes up numerous times!

Momma_luvz_her_4

Im due june 22 with my fourth child. My 16 month still wakes up several times a night. Im wondering if I will ever sleep again ... I never had a child that didn't sleep through the night at this age. Any suggestions?

Put your foot down before the new baby comes. My daughter learned right away that it was unacceptable to sleep in bed with us and there were some nights she was fussy for no reason so we let her cry it out. Best thing we ever did... she started sleeping through the night at 6 months. Now she is 2, sleeps 12 hours a night and still takes a 2 hour nap. By letting her cry it out she learned to soothe herself. If she is restless at night now I know it'll only take about 5 minutes and she'll be right back to sleep. Good luck.

@lucky7 and @momma_luvz_her_4..... my son is 22 months, and he was sleeping through the night at 16 months after I had to tough love him. Let him cry for 2 hours, the doc said it would be ok to do that. And was fine, but he also took a binkie, but he bit through them and didn't get new ones. Just don't feed them or get them out of the crib in the night. Just pat them on their head and say night night. It might take 2-3 nights for it to kick in. But it will work and they will sleep. Good luck. Be tough ladies.

@lucky7.... I felt sick too. Felt like I'm a bad momma. But in the end I'm glad I did it. Both my kids sleep from 8-9 pm til 8-9 am. It's 9:32am here right now and both kids are still asleep. So nice!!
