sorry you are not getting your sleep now you are back to work, typical! is he teething? they apparently come out of their routine when they teeth. my little one sleeps through at the mo but everyoe has said that when she starts to teeth she will start getting back up again because they are uncomfortable. sorry i couldnt be more help! hope it sorts itself out soon x x x

Hi Julieb,

When my daughter was learning to roll over and back again she kept getting stuck in the night and waking up, I would turn her back on to her back again. This would happen a few times in the night. If this is a possibility, it does pass, my friend recommended to roll up two SMALL towels tightley put under the mattress sheet either side, but NO HIGHER THAN SHOULDER LEVEL, and this stopped her from rolling onto her front in her sleep. Once she could roll back on her own I took them out.

I hope this helps.

hiya i have a 6mth son who was sleeping from 9pm to 5am now im lucky to get 2 solid hours sleep, does any1 have any suggestions?

shellybug - is your baby eating enough during the day? at 6 months old, he should ideally be getting 3 solid meals a day (possibly with puddings) and 18-20oz of milk a day. could he just be cold or hot? is he teething?

my 1yr old went through a stage of not sleeping well over the last fortnight. she was waking up every couple of hours but this has stopped now i have adjusted her daytime nap routine . x

my son is 19 month and wakes at least 4 times a night then wants to get up at 4.30am. he only has an hours sleep around 10am but stll seems to hav energy whereas im shattered all day. i hav started going to bed at 7.30 with him just so i can keep up!! Any suggestions any one?I hav tried controlled crying for 6 weeks now with no sign of improvement

I have a 5 week old baby boy who loves his food!! The problem I have is that he will take his 7pm feed really well and then go straight to sleep afterwards. He will then sleep about 6-7 hours, meaning he goes past his 11pm feed and then we are having 2 night feeds at 1-2am and then again at 5-6am. Any advice on how to solve this problem and maybe get some proper sleep for me (wishful thinking!!)

Jackie02,
Have you tried waking him up 4 his 11pm feed he might then sleep until his 5-6am feed. Worth a try if hes anything like my son was at that age it probably wont work!
Good Luck!!!

I've got a 5 week old, I feed him between 7-8pm then waken him by 11pm so that he gets fed and ready to sleep by sometime between 12-1am. I am breastfeeding so I give him that then top him up by bottle otherwise I'd be up in an hour or so. I get around 4 hours sleep before he wakens. I try to keep him occupied during the day so that he is not sleeping all the time. My only problem is at 4am he tends to have some colic which I am dealing with now, been advised to change teats, burp him more, try the comfort milk and gripe water, so I am going to try as many as I can until I sort it.

i need help my baby is now 5 months she has never been great at drinking milk she only take 3 oz 3-5 times a day, during the day she only sleeps for an hour or two. my health vistor suggested putting her on solids she only eats baby rice one or twice a day and some times takes fruit puree. there has never been a night that we have slept i feel like a zombie she goes to bed at between 12-1:30am and gets up ever hour for feed (she is now bottle fed). i will soon return to work and really need my sleep her eating and sleeping pattern has made me depressed and emotional i cry all the time. someone plz hep or suggest something what am i doing wrong

hi ya i am sorry to hear you little one doesnt sleep well for you, i have a 18 month old little girl and is constantly on the go, she has had a sleep problem sinvce januray this year when i moved to my new home, i have noisy neighbours and they had a right go at us becasue my daughter cries through the night, i have taken her to different people and doctors thye just say she will grow out of it, i moved her back into our room and it hasnt made much difference except she wants to get in to bed with us and thats the only way she will settle. lately if you put her back in her cot when she is asleep she wakes up and wants to play. i cant get her to drink milk and i dont know what to do. when i saw your comment i thort maybe we could swap ideas on what we have done to help them sleep. if you have any suggestions could you let me know. only thing i can say to you is do you have a lamp for your baby as my little girl has a chamelon led light and that seemed to help slightly you can get them any where really especially 99p shops, i hope you get some sleep soon all the best x
