Needing help with baby.

Have you talked to your son's doctor about it? A lot of peditricians now have infant sleep specialists available in office to help with problems like this.

have you tried using one of te sassy brand solid feeders and giving him cereal when he wakes up at night?

Are you nursing him, or giving him bottles at night? If you're nursing, consider bringing him into your bed with you, even if it's just for a few weeks so you can get some rest. Once you get used to it (a day or two), you will be able to pull him over to latch him on and then drift off back to sleep while he nurses. It's also possible that he wakes up and is unable to settle himself back to sleep when he's all alone, and that having you right next to him will help him stay asleep longer. Another side benefit is that your sleep cycles will coordinate with each other, so you'll hit a light sleep state when he does, so if he wakes and awakens you, it won't be as bad because you're coming out of light sleep, not deep sleep. If cosleeping (which is perfectly safe if reasonable precautions are taken - http://www.naturalfamilyonline.com/5-ap/312-co-sleeping-safety.htm), you could drop the side of his crib and push it right up next to your bed to give you easier/quicker access without having to actually get up. Even if you're bottle-feeding, you could have all the supplies right there on your nightstand, feed him with everyone still in bed, and then go back to sleep right away. It'll buy you several minutes on either end of a feed. It's all about survival, mama! (And the good news is that,if you're in the northern hemisphere at least, the hours of darkness will get longer and longer! I used to have a baby who, I guess, thought his job was to wake up the roosters! But he was a spring baby, so daylight kept coming earlier and earlier.)

Wow I feel for you my daughter was the same way just about a month ago and I thought I was seriously going to die. I had some women pray for me at a Bible study I go to. What I did was feed her dinner earlier at 5pm then I gave her a bath 7pm after that I give her a bottle and read to her. By 8pm I put her in bed and her sleeping habits improved alot. She wakes up only twice through the night. Then at 7 or 7:30am she gets up. I wish my 9 month old daughter was sleeping through the night but this is alot better than it was before. I hope I could be of some help. God Bless

Co-Sleep! Its the happiest solution for everyone!

I always gave mine a few bits oe food and a bath right before bed. Sometimes it helped. Also try to keep him awake for several hours before you decide to go to bed, maybe he will sleep better then.

i would feed him some cereal cuz it sounds like he is not getting full enough off the milk. they love to eat cereal if you add a little bit of baby food to it .. start off with pears. After that he should sleep longer as he is fuller. just try to make sure he is reaalllyyy full. and sometimes it is ok to let him cry. babies need to cry! it strengthens their vocal cords. And he is knowing that you come to his rescue every time he crys, so if you dont show up one time he will get the point. babies will take advnatage of you so you have to set some rules. my son did that but when i knew he had eaten enough and had a change and drink he had no reason to cry. so i would let him cry it out. at 6 months he is just fine. check with your doctors first to make sure he is not sick or in pain with something. once all is ruled out then just let him cry it out. by 1 week you will be sleeping again. good luck. if you have more questions you can email me here. bye

That`s very normal. I was the same way with my daughter. My daughter is almost two years old and she still wakes up in the middle of the night. It`s nothing you can get used to I know, but it will get easier. Do you have anyone to help you at night?

seems to a serious problem, please consult some one who can really help

i can't understood what you reqally want to say.

Welcome to the joys of motherhood. When my son was 3 months old he kept me up ALL night every night for 3 weeks. Nothing I could do would help him settle down and sleep. He didn't have a temp or any physical problem I could see. I'd stay up with him all night and then work all day. Finally, in desperation, I took him to the doctor. I was on the verge of total exhaustion, and I also had a 3-year-old to care for. The doctor discovered that my son was having the first of many, many ear infections. There was no outward sign, and the doctor told me there was no way I could have known.

i went through this with my son. hes 2 and sometimes he still wakes up during the night. maybe he needs to eat a lil more before he goes to sleep. try giving him a little bit of rice cereal or whatever you feed him about 20 minutes before he goes to sleep, then give him his bottle. does he nap during the day? maybe if he naps more then once he needs 1 less nap or even a shorter nap.

I got my daughter to sleep all night last night. This is what I did and it worked at least for 1 night. Bottle at 6:30 bath with Johnson's bedtime wash at 7:45 and into her warm jammies after some lotion and a soft massage another bottle with cereal at almost 9. I also swaddled her in her blanket. Once she fell asleep in my arms I put her in her crib with her wounds sounds bear. I feel for you, I couldn't imagine going that long with waking up every 2 hrs.

Dont feel alone I have been through it 6 times! The older they get the more they will sleep. Sometimes they just need alittle more to eat and that will help them rest better! Good luck and your not the only one with dark circles under your eyes :)

New mothers have been known to have nervious break downs because of lack of sleep, so I would recomend you find someone, (a sister, mother, aunt) etc. who can take Teddy for a night or at least several hours so you can get a few hours of much needed sleep! You MUST get your sleep girl! Even one full night of sleep will make a world of difference to you and you'd be better able to handle the other things! My sister went through this with her new baby and finally, (to save my sister), me, my mom, and my other sister took turns keeping Danny (the baby) off and on, giving my sister the sleep she needed and in no time, she was back to her old (normal) self again! Please see if someone can do that for you, because without proper sleep, you won't be of much good to you or your baby! Good Luck!!!
