Hello, Ive tried these sleep exercises, giving water,blackout blind, milk, letting C cry for a while but now i need something that will actually work. I can get up to C 4 times in 1 hour some nights and its draining now considering its been going on over 6 months and im back working full time. C as been quite ill in his 1st year and i felt sorry for him one night when he had a bad cough and gave him juice. He is now addicted to juice or he just wants me in his room! Can anybody help?

i know it's harsh to think about but letting him cry for a while will only make it worse, you really need to go the whole 9 yards and leave him to cry completely.

what worked with dd was doing the bedtime
routine tucking her in and saying good night, walking out and leaving her to cry.

i'd go in every half hour or so to tuck her back in so she knew she wasn't completely abandoned but wouldn't talk to her, just tuck her back in and say 'night-night X'. the first night is the worst but it does work.

when she woke later in the night i'd do exactly the same, in to tuck her in and say 'night-night', then straight back out again and leave her to it. i'd also go in once things had been quiet for a while to make sure she wasn't asleep in any strange positions (like sitting up which she did the first few nights!) and put her blanket back over her

I would do exactly what Pink Tulips said but I'm not sure I could wait half an hour! With ds I kept going in (every 10 mins or so) but no eye contact and just a very quiet "its sleep time". Oh and I'd ditch the juice no matter what!
