HELP- My baby is no longer sleeping through the night What can I do?

I just fixed my little one of doing this and I don't believe in cry it out either. I did move her inti her own roon as we were waking her up / she had been taking naps in their during the day so she didn't change her habit at all at night. Then we changed the time I fed her solids during the day as she wasn't getting enough milk before bed.

Also it sounds like she mught be having trouble self settling and that would be why she fell asleep on a rocking cruise and in your arms so you'll need to train her to do this. Elizabeth pantkey has a book called the no cry sleep solution which outlines how to do this. It isn't a quick fix but you won't be leaving your baby to cry either so long term it is brilliant.

Hi Pam,

Babies usually takes longer time to "really" fall asleep compared to adults. What happens is a baby will sleep light at initial stage before moving into the deep sleep stage after 20 minutes of light sleep stage. Whenever we put our babies to bed and when we thought our babies slept, as we moved or tried to put the baby back to crib, baby would wake up and cry. So it may be a good idea to really make sure that the baby is really sleeping before moving away. Throughout the night, babies tend to wake up often as they often move from light to deep sleep stage and back to light stage again.... so sometimes they wake up and cry because of hunger, noise and so on....

As in why she slept well in cruise, it could be that she was really "worn out" during the trip :P

I've just answered two questions quite similar to this so i just copied and pasted my answer on to here. :)here is what I did. I put his bassinet in his room- I found that hearing us made it worse at night... I then would let him cry for about ten to fifteen minutes, I then when back in and rubbed his tummy, gave him his binky and said "shhh". for about five minutes so he wouldn't feel like i had abandoned him, but I didn't pick him up because that just made it much worse. I then would leave the room and did it again... he will fall asleep eventually and after 4 or 5 days he was going to sleep very well in his own bed with little crying. I know a lot of people don't agree with letting a baby cry for that long, but it's only 10 to fifteen minutes at a time and you need your rest to be able to be a good mother to that baby. It doesn't hurt them and if you constantly hold them, I do not care what anybody says, they tend to expect to be held at all times, especially at that age. I learned that the hard way with my oldest. Good luck to you

Have you tried feeding her?
