When will he sleep

[TheRedSquare]

What age did your little ones go through the night?

And what did you do differently/to help this happen?

Mine have both refused Gina Ford and Little Ones has been a waste of money for us. He goes through good and bad patches (last six weeks has been horrendous - four month regression etc).

@SoyDora I was also tipped into depression by routine refusal and so many people told me I just needed to persist. The 70 minutes I tried to settle him in the cot with a sleep consultant at five months was especially special.

Elder slept through at 22 months three days after we bypassed the usually wonderful NHS and got a private consultant on his constipation and new medicine. He did great until the baby was born a 40 months and is up one a night threeish nights a week.

I've had a good chat with my mum and she has told me to literally 'chill the duck out' and that he is still very little, so to not feel like a failure. She told me just go with it and stop stressing...I've decided to follow her advice as I'm getting worked up over something I clearly can't control and will look back and regret it.
This last seven days we've had a mixture...
Three nights up till 10pm..slept until 5am, started crying in sleep, popped dummy in and slept till 7/7.30am
Then a night of crashing at 6.30pm as refused naps in day..up at 2.30am for feed, 5am for dummy and then 7am
Last three nights drifting from 7.30pm-10pm, dream feed at 9.30, waking at 5am for a feed and back down until 7.30am, 7.50am and today 8.50am...

Total mixed bag!
I'm having a black out blind fitted, and find when his fan is on he wakes less (white noise effect I guess?)

We're just following him atm

None of those sound like particularly bad nights blahblahblabblahblah100!

12 weeks. Followed a routine from day one in terms of a set bedtime (even if she'd be up n hour later), noise in the day but dark / silent at night, white noise as she drifted off, a bottle before bed etc. And we did bathtime in the evening.

But that said it's just her way. She's a routine little thing now she's older. Very particular and likes things to be done a set way. So sadly not anything we did I'd imagine!

15mo.. heaven. WHY am i having another one

@SoyDora no, not bad...much better than when I started the thread
