i always wondered if that myth "leave them alone let them cry" was correct because when i try to use that it never works and takes me just s long to come him back down. i deffanetley found this article helpful.

Loved this article, very helpful. I have read several baby books and each one has its chapter over sleep, and this article pretty much sumed all of those chapters up. Ive also never read anything really informative about the spoiling, so im glad I read this.

Thank you for the reassurance that you can't teach a baby to sleep. That saves a lot of frustration of wondering if there's something we are doing or something we should do affecting our one month olds sleep cycle!

This article helped me understand why my son wants to sleep with me. Now if I can just get him on a decent time schedule to go to sleep evrything will be great.

My son is 14 months old and still needs to be held and rocked to sleep. Thats a habbit I started and regret it. Dont get me wrong I loved the bonding but he should be sleeping on his own "self soothing" by now. I thought oh he'll grow out of it but he hasnt. Take it from me, keep your newborn awake when feeding, change their diaper, swaddle and lay down in their OWN bed. Trust me if you start that when they are born you wont be in the position I am in. My son doesnt even sleep through the night and if he were taught how to self soothe then he would be able to sleep through the night. Just because your baby is crying doesnt mean something is wrong, they may just be mad. Wait a few minutes and if it doesnt stop then go check on them.

Thank you for this article! I believe in not allowing the baby to cry for to long. My husband however, says that I spoil our son by attending to our son at the littlest wimper. I'm glad to read the research as I know babies sometimes just "cry" to cry and let go a bit. However, I breast feed our son and he was born at 34 weeks. I look at it that since he arrived early, he needs as much attention as he possibly can receive. While he is breast fed he did sleep in our bed in the middle using a "nester" it served as a barrier for him around his body and was ideal during those many night feedings. He is 3 months old now and when is sleeping is placed in his own cradle or pack n play. Mostly still awake with his pacifier (if he desires)so he can learn to soothe himself to sleep.

Review 8 for Crying Baby Sleepless Nights

I read recently that a baby's nervous system is still developing at 3-4 weeks, which causes fussiness, crying, and uneasiness. Wish I had known this with my first born when he went through this phase as a newborn, but knowing it for my second certainly helped me understand the situation as he went through it!

I agree with this article for the most part. The only concern that I have is the baby in the bed with the parent. From a medical stand point about 80 to 90 percent of infant deaths are from their parents rolling over on the child and smothering them. So if any parent does put the child in the bed make sure the child is in a place where you can't roll over on the child.

My first child slept with my husband and I for years! I now have a newborn and plan to try and make the cut off of sleeping in my bed to 6 months because after that it only gets harder to get them to sleep in their own bed. I dont know if anyone else has had this problem but my 10 yr old slept in my bed until age 5. my 4 1/2 yr old slept in my bed until almost 4 and still would sleep with me if Id let him. Sooo with this new baby we are doing a 6 month. hopefully I can actually stick to it :)

Omg I totally need to have my husband and mom read this cuz their both on my case bout taking my little boy to bed with me and going to him when he starts crying...but i don't believe me carrying and holding him alot along with sleepin in bed with him will make him spoiled. plus i like the closeness to him. i mean he can be crying and as soon as i pick him up he stops, but if he is cryin and my husband picks him up he keeps crying.

I thought after our son was born we were going to be one of those lucky parents that would have a baby that slept through the night. God were we WRONG!!! His first night home things were GREAT!!!! The weeks came and went and we found out that he DOESN'T like to sleep on his back at ALL!!! When he is on his back he starts to cry.

Review 14 for Crying Baby Sleepless Nights

My first son was a freeze to sleep through the night he has slept 12 hrs since he was 3 months old and hes 21 months now and still sleeps 12 hrs straight. My 4 month old still wakes up atleast once during the night but will sleep atleast 8 hrs as well. With each of my kids I started putting them in their crib at age 2 months and also if i fed them and i knew they were full and had a clean diaper but still cried in the crib at bedtime i left them go and within 10 min of crying they were asleep. i think tending to them right off the bat is going to give them the impression that if they cry mommy or daddy will come in and hold me and i will get to stay up. so i have never given in to them, unless they woke up in the middle of the night. so sometimes u have to let them cry themselves to sleep even if it pains you.

Review 15 for Crying Baby Sleepless Nights

i completely agree with this. my baby is now 6 months old and i breastfeed and co sleep with her. she rarely cries throughout the day and she's always smiling. i have also read a study that moms and babies who co sleep go through the same sleeping pattern through the night. and i can vouch because all my baby needs to do is move and i'm awake because we're both half asleep at that point. i know when she's hungry and all i need to do is take out my breast and feed her, no fuss, no crying, no stress for the both of us.

After I read this article I realized Im a lucky mom, my baby sleeps at least 10 hours at nigth most of the time from 8 pm to 7 am, this since she was a three weeks old. I think what help me was I always put her on her crib so she knew it was sleeping time.

I agree with this article, after i had my daughter i was unsure of how i was feeling and the whole time i was depressed because of no sleep, plus i was recovering from a c-section, and parenting my baby alone.

Review 19 for Crying Baby Sleepless Nights

crazycowgirlofmine
i totally agree with you on this cause i have three children.. and the first two one stayed in the crib after night feedings and the other i was up every two hours with her.. i breast fed them both but my first went to the crib after feedings.. i did not sleep all night for eight months with him.. i was a really hard sleeper and took a long time for me to hear his cries.. with second child i woke immediately and fell asleep feeding her cause she wanted to get up every two hours to feed.. she slept all night after two weeks but she did from time to time wake in the middle of the night and all i had to do was pat her butt and she would go right back to sleep.. that was after i ended up moving her to her back to her crib.. it is the warmth and closeness they seek.. think about it they were with you for nine months.. when they were born it was like you were ripped away.. they just want to be close..
i am now on my third child and she is just a dream but she is a very light sleeper.. i have tried eveything i can think of to get her to sleep more sound.. like making noise when she is asleep.. it does nothing but hinder her and i spend the next fifteen minutes trying to get her back to sleep..

Review 20 for Crying Baby Sleepless Nights

I have three children, 7, 5, and 1.....and I would do anything for them! I love holding them and cuddling with them, but we never started that habit of letting them sleep with us. We had other friends who did this and it was very difficult for them as their child got older trying to teach them to sleep in their own room. We trained all three of our children to self soothe when they were babies. Now it's very nice b/c they have their own bedtimes (7:30 for our baby and 8:00 for our older two), and they sleep all night and wake around 7:15am. It makes our nightly routines easier, and we're all getting adequate sleep. Everyone has to do what works for them. Just think about how you'd like your child to be sleeping when they're older.....in the bed with you as you are expected to get them to sleep OR falling asleep on their own in their room? So, to say that children can't be taught to sleep? Hmmm, I disagree. I've done it!
