I Need Some Help (11 Month Old Won't Fall Asleep On His Own) Posted: 10-12-05 10:48am
Hi I have a 11 month old baby and he won't
fall asleep on his own. If I put him
down to sleep while he is tired he will
wake right back up and want to play even
tho he is tired. I give him a bath then I
give him his bottle then I let his bottle
digest for an hour then I go to put him to
sleep but he won't go as soon as I put him
down he plays for a while then starts to
cry. And I let him cry for a few minutes
then he starts to scream and over cry then
he won't fall asleep. So I pick him up
after 15 minutes or so after he crys and I
put him in his car seat and put him in the
stroller then he will fall right to sleep
in a minute of pushing him in the
stroller. I am now expecting my second
baby next month and I can't keep pushing
my 11 month old in his stroller for him
to fall asleep expecally with another baby
comming next month I need some help on
what I should do I need him to fall asleep
on his own but every time I try to put him
down for his nap or at night to go to bed
he won't fall asleep on his own I need
help please can anyone help me he is
almost a year old and I still need to push
him in the stroller to fall asleep :(
should I put a night light in his room? I
do the same thing every night I give him a
bath and I put him to sleep at the same
time every night and sometimes after I put
him to sleep he will wake up a hour after
screaming I want to get him off of his
pacifier as well because everytime he
falls asleep with his pacifier he wakes up
a hour or so after screaming because his
pacifier fell out of his mouth and when I
put it back in his mouth he falls back to
sleep does anyone have any suggestions for
me please help me thanks

Maybe try a different routine with him if
that one isn't working. I have a two
month old and we feed him right before he
goes to bed and then he falls asleep with
his binky in his mouth.
Um, try playing light music in the
backround to help sooth him also!

Hey savannah
I had the same issue with my daughter,
she started sleeping through the night at
7 wks and for some reason at 9 mths
decided she would start waking up again.
One thing I did was let her scream and
if you feel bad stay at the door but dont
let them see you. Reason babies scream
tantrum, bored, tired or they hurt
themselves. Another thing make sure
there a night lite in the room my daughter
doesnt like darkness or leave the window
slightly open. Dont give him any food
before bed and put to bed with bottle if
you have too, another thing to try take
all the toys away. You have to make them
understand the crib isnt a play place I
refuse to give my daughter toys
now............................I know all
this stuff is a bit blunt but sometimes we
have to be with kids

Sleeping Problems Posted: 10-13-05 21:58pm
I babysit for a "living" (spending cash
only) and the mother has a subscription to
both babytalk and parents magazine. I
only read them when the baby is asleep.
But I was flipping through it just a few
minutes ago and there is an article titled
"63 sleep tips." (for kids) and I just
happened to remember your request for
tips. I checked the website but not very
thoroughly (because this computer is slow
and I have no patience for a stupid
computer, I save all that for the baby..
Which can be tested sometimes). But there
is an article of at least 15 sleep tips.
I hope that helps some. Go check it out!
Parents and babytalk has given me so much
information in the past few months and I
don't even have a child (not expecting
either, my sister is now though).
