After many sleepless nights I have finally
cracked. I am moving logan into the
living room to sleep on a night from now
on.
He is terrible lazy and even though I put
his bottle right next to him he screams
until I get up and give his bottle then
drinks it and goes back to sleep. I
usually don't mind but just lately he's
been doing it at least 4-5 times a night
then waking at 6am. I just can't handle
it. I'm exhausted.
So tonight is a test run. I'm using
robbies laptop and I am now in bed after
putting logan to sleep in the living room.
He went over with no probems.
I'm hoping if he wakes and realises i'm
not there then he will get his own bottle
and drink it himself.
If he cries for more than 5 minutes I will
then do the ferber method on him. I am
not backing down though. He neds to
realise he has to get his own bottle.
Wish me luck! I'll let you now how it
goes

Trey was just a little bit older when he
finally stopped waking up 5 times a night.
So
I totally understand where you're coming
from.
I hope this works for both your sakes!!

Brayden does this too still!
He has to be rocked to sleep everynight
and when he wakes up in the middle of the
night which is usually 3 or 4 times.
Sometimes he'll take his bottle, drink it
and go back to bed if I lay next to him
but not very oft.En
i hope you have better luck with that then
I did because I tried to break brayden
from the habit but he still does it, and I
don't want him to cry.

Becks I just read the no cry sleep
solution book...I cannot tell you enough
how much it helped me. I used to have to
rock trace every night or put him in his
swing to go to sleep and he would cry and
squirm and fight sleep...Well now I do a
very consistent routine with him and once
he is very sleepy I lay him in his crib
and he goes right to sleep. The key is
consistency and routine, thats what babies
thrive on. Good luck!

Tanya, I started finn on a routine at
about 6 weeks. He took to it pretty much
immediately and we've had no problems, not
even when we moved him to his own room.

Is it a bottle of milk that he has next to
him all night or justt juice? If it was
milk I would be very careful because milk
is a breeding ground for bacteria and any
out of the fridge for longer than an hour
should be thrown away really.
I'm assuming it's juice though so sorry if
i've come across as patronising!

i figured as much. It was just one of
those things that my brain compelled me to
write just in case someone didn't
realise how bad it was to leave milk out
that long. I'd feel so guilty if a kid
got sick and i'd not said anything

Lol. I understand. It's nice that you
are looking out for kids. I remember
leaving a bottle of milk on the table once
and forgetting about it while we went out
for the day. When I came back it was all
in lumps and I almost threw up- yuk!!!
