Please help my 10 month old won't sleep?

Have you tried thickening the bottles with rice or cereal?? Thats what helped my baby sleep longer when he got older. Also do you have a set routine?? Babies love routines. Do you bath him every night before bed? Nightly baths can help calm them and sooth them to ready them for bed. Also before bath and bedtime do you stimulate with playtime and toys to get him tired? If hes use to sleeping with you that probably is the reason for him not sleeping well. He got to use to the comfort of mommy being right next to him.

When you let him cry did you do the cry it out method correctly? Did you walk back in and soothe him every 5 minutes??(never pick him up, just soothe him and lay him back down) and repeat this process until he falls asleep. Yes it will be rough for a while but if you stay consistent then eventually he will learn.

my daughter was the same way, she is now almost 7 months old and I let her cry in her crib. I will go in and check on her every 5-10 minutes and rub her head and sooth her and when she calms down I leave the room again. I continue the process every 5-10 minutes until she falls asleep. I had to do this for a little over a week, but she now will fall right to sleep in her crib and sleep through the night.

She used to work herself up so badly that she would choke and turn purple from crying, which is why I would go in every 5-10 minutes to check on her. Now she is good though. Good Luck! I know that its frustrating and it makes you go insane, but it will get better!

Routine at 10 months should usually be:

He now needs less milk and increased solids with a feeded cup for liquids.

6am; Bottle of his milk (if he wakes at 2 or 5am give him water) because he is thirsty. (too much milk makes him thirsty)

8am breakfast cereals and a feeder cup with some of his milk. Play and or take for a walk & or Mother and baby group - NO NAP.

12 - 1pm dinner (solid food and feeder cup with his milk) then play, sing, read & short nap.

4-6 pm Tea time (solid food and feeder cup with his milk) play read etc.

8-10pm Bath and bottle of milk BEFORE settling down for the night in cot with warm sheets and a night light. While you are setting this routine stay with him and get into the habit of reading him a story. Then stick to you guns.

hi, I really feel sorry for u and ur babe. I never had this problem with my kids. What i was doing when they reach the month of 4/5 i stop giving milk at night the last bottle was at 10 and then they had it at 7 in the morning, my advice to u would be if u want ur babe to sleep in his cot then put his in his bed but stay in his room and sing in a very quiet voice don't give to much eye contact, give him ur pillow or ur pyjama from last night he just wants ur smell.For start u putting him or her to early to bed first get him or her in sleepy mood . good luck

Hi. My little one is teething too at the moment and I know it's really hard. But hang on in there! In regards to Sleeping. A really good book that helped me put my LO in to a sleep routine was Save Our Sleep by Tizzie Hall. If you cant buy it, try renting it at your local library.

I'm so sorry I can't help you on this matter, but what you have described is EXACTLY how my 11 month old is... Will not sleep at all. I'm losing the plot.

If he's only 10 months he SHOULD be sleeping with you. Or you should stay with him until hr goes to bed, most kids need bottles to sleep. That's not unusual, and it's also not unusual for him to wake up so much, when he does don't just let him cry, go back and comfort him he's probley scared and misses you. If you let him cry it will be stressful for both of you.
