How do I get my 7 month old to sleep through the night?
Answer:
Valium and vodka cocktails
Sometimes my sister would feed my neice a mix of baby oatmeal and formula and that would keep her belly full all night and that worked most part for my nephew too.
just put him in his bed and let him cry it out. by the third night he will be sleeping all through the night. it is very hard the first two but it works and is the fastest way to a full nights sleep for both mom and baby..good luck
Rice Cereal
as hard as it may seem, when he wakes up, as long as he is not hurt or has a messy diaper, you need to let him cry himself to sleep. it sounds cruel but it is what really helps him in the long run. If you start pampering his every little need this early he will progressively become overly needy, selfish, and unable to make decisions.
thats normal. sing or warm milk. that's what my mama used to do =)
you might wanna buy a bed.
At seven months your baby is physically ready to hold all night without being fed but he/she may be still waking up out of habit. Try giving him water instead of milk, he/she may not think it is worthwhile to get up for water and eventually just keep sleeping. Also, make sure when you do get up in the middle of the night, to interact with your baby as little as possible. Dont talk to him/her, dont play etc. Just feed and change but keep the lights low and as quiet as possible. He/She needs to understand that night time is for being quiet/sleeping and the day is for being awake/playing etc. I did this with both my kids and they slept throught he night after the 4th month. Good luck!
The habit is usually easy to break once the parents realize that it is as bad for the baby as it is for them. The cure is simple: Put the baby to bed at a reasonable hour, say good night affectionately but firmly, walk out of the room, and don't go back.
Most babies who have developed this pattern will cry furiously for 20 or 30 minutes the first night, and then when nothing happens, they suddenly fall asleep! The second night the crying is apt to last only 10 minutes. The third night there usually isn't any at all.
give them some sleepimg medicne. Trust me it works I have experienced this factor many times before.
Keep them up during the day time.. Thats what i did when mine was that age.
hav you no tried keepin your baby u for two hours before you go to bed and then just before you go to sleep giv it his/her bottle
Tell him to go for bodybuilding.
dont do anything with him tell the natutre play it s role all you have to do is feed him properly next all depends on how much he sleeps in day
dont dare to give him amy kind of medicine that may effect his health in future
please be a good mom
Well I have a 5 months old daughter, And till now we both don't have any problems at night. She sleeps along with me on my bed. The moment she gets up, I feed her and at the same time she sleeps back and even i sleep back. We both are happy with this practise. I think its only a question of another 2 year or less then that. After some years she herself will love to sleep alone. As long as baby and mother are happy, you can follow any method u like. Try that you never make your baby cry to sleep.
7 months...too small. First thing would make sure the baby is full. At 7 months they are grown up enough to sustain on what they had a couple of hours before they sleep. Please avoid feeding him in the middle of night. It will increase his insulin and make him dependent on that. Ask your pediatrician. He is old enough to have his body make enough insulin to last him whole night. Feeding him every time he wakes up after 6 months makes the baby insulin dependant. Secondly...are you talking about sleep through the night WITH YOU or in HIS OWN CRIB? If it is with you.easy.make sure he is full. Reassure him...don’t feed...put him to sleep.let him cry a little...don’t hold.just reassure without picking up.
Now if you are talking about to make him sleep in crib.a well tested method of Ferber CIO. CIO stands for Cry It Out. Do a search on internet. You will find out more about this technique. Works beautifully if you have the heart to do it. It is more of a test of the mom rather than the baby.
Be patient. They all learn eventually. Babies are fun...enjoy while it lasts!
