Question

my 9 month old daughter wont sleep through the night. she gets up 6-8 times a night. any tips??

Answer 1

give her a bath with lavander baby wash in a warm bath to relax her. Then make her a warm bottle with cereal in it. dont put her to sleep really early, depending on how your schedule is, do all of this just before YOU go to bed. And dont let her sleep all day long. If you get her on a schedule she will follow by it from here on out. try the bottle and warm bath tonight to see if that will help if it does keep doing it! after giving her the bottle pat her back firmly and she should go to sleep within 15 minutes. if nothing works, let her cry a while she is probably spoiled and wants to be held. DONT HOLD HER!

Answer 2

If you're not breastfeeding then let her cry it out.

Answer 3

I just read that after the sixth month they no longer need middle of the night feedings. Only advice that I can give that worked for me is letting him/her cry it out. It's hard for the first couple of days but after that they learn how to self soothe. It really is the easiest way.

Answer 4

By this point your daughter should probably not need to wake up for feeding more than once at night. I found the most effective thing to do with my daughter was just to let her cry. It really only takes once or twice before she will learn to soothe herself back to sleep if she wakes up. If you go to her every time she cries it will just wake her up more and disrupt her natural sleep rhythm and ability to soothe herself. So try to only go to her when you know she is hungry, then feed her and put her back down immediately. If she seems more interested in playing or cuddling than eating, she's probably not very hungry at that time. It's hard to let a baby cry, but it's so worth it! She (and you) will be so much happier when she is well-rested! A book that really helped me with sleep issues is "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child." There is a ton of good info and advice in it.

Answer 5

My son is 14 months old and he still wakes up at least once a night. All babies are different. At about 9 months old he was waking up about 3 times a night. Does she sleep in a crib in her own room??? My son used to sleep with me until 9 months old and it made a huge difference in his crib. He does sleep in my room in his crib and when I turn over at night (very quietly) he wakes up. Unfortunately I don't have a 2nd room yet to put him in until I move. Hope that helps. Also make sure his tummy is full.

Answer 6

Is she on a regular sleeping and eating schedule during the day? With both of our kids, we did something like a three hour sleep/eat/awake schedule when they were newborns. They both slept 8 to 10 hours through the night around 7 or 8 weeks old. I don't remember what a sleeping and eating schedule would be for a 9 month old, but some kind of regular schedule during the day might help. I would suggest just letting her cry until she goes back to sleep too. It will feel like it is going to kill you, but it won't hurt her. It usually only takes about a week of that for the child to get used to things.

Answer 7

I had the same problem with my boy (now 18 month)



We found that he was only hungry. Whe we began to give him a lot of milk with cookies before going bed or he began to eat solid things he began to sleep all the night.



Other reason to not sleep were because he had to much worm. I hope this will help you...

Answer 8

My son is doing the same thing. Last night we tried (per the Dr's orders) to let him cry himself to sleep. It was hard and took a 1/2 hour but he slept for almost 4 hours! Also you want to try giving her some baby food- it takes longer to digest.

Answer 9

I was going through the same thing a few months ago. I had to feed my daughter and give a warm bath soon after then let her fall asleep in my bed. After about 2 weeks of that she started sleeping in her own bed all night.

Answer 10

Well my cousin was having the same problem with her baby, and someone told her to mix some cereal in with her milk bottle at night. Try it!

Answer 11

My 9 month old daughter sleeps through the night. It was a very simple routine. Sit in a dark room with her. Hold her very close while she drinks her bottle, once she's very tired lay her in bed on her stomach (she seems to sleep heavier in that position) then leave the room. If she wakes up crying leave her cry for about 5 min. If she continues, go in and comfort her but do not pick her up. Put your hand on her and let her know you're there, and speak softly to her. Then leave the room again. It may take a few times doing this, but she'll get the idea that you haven't gone far.

Answer 12

feels like your infant desires a cuddle , our 5 year previous wakes at around 2am and sleep walk to our mattress daily, this is demanding nonetheless, yet some infants in simple terms awaken and comprehend they're on my own for some surprising reason (smile) then choose their mommy and daddy and consistent with possibility some cuddling time. your infant continues to be a infant, so the sound asleep approach she hasnt mastered yet, you need to supply her some greater time to conform with sound asleep contained in the night. attempt to attend and see and whilst she wakes via the night in simple terms carry her and gently rock her back to sleep w/ a pacifier. your infant would or would no longer be hungry, in simple terms drained and actually prefer to flow to sleep too, now, in case you breasfeed, of direction you comprehend this milk is quite skinny so wont replenish infant adequate to hold her via the night fantastically at 8mos. you may ought to enhance her foodstuff intake, ie; cereal, powered milk in the process the sunlight hours. then at night she is finished and properly rested. at 8mos or older you dont choose milk to choose infants the teeth or tongue througout the night this is why a nuk or a heat cuddle would be fesible adequate whilst getting her back to sleep...stable success!
