Sleeping through the night?
It's one of the most popular questions for parents. And, one that we've never been able to answer "yes" to. We keep trying new techniques to get Landon to sleep. He's just not a sleeper. Once we start making progress, something changes. First came the 3 month growth spurt and he started waking up every hour or two and was HUNGRY! So, the doctor said to feed him, which I did until he was about to burst. Well, the growth spurt has come and gone and he's not sleeping much better. Then, along came teething pain that we now think is waking him up. We're back to not feeding him at night and just keep praying that the L-Train learns that there's no reason to wake up! One thing's certain: just when you think you've got it, it all changes! You gotta laugh or you'll cry, right?!?

I'm sorry to hear that. Sleeping issues can be tough.
Blog traveling during naptime :) (I should be doing other things).We had the same problem and our doctor told us to let him cry if it had not been 3-4 hours. I also MADE my husband go in if it hadn't been very long so he wouldn't get to eat. But- it does get better. You might want to let him go to sleep on his own for naps (I had to)...That sleeping stuff is like torture. My son Beau just now sleeps through the night and he's 8 months. But- he's huge and I think he needed the milkies. I really don't think cereal etc. helps... They have to learn to go back to sleep when they wake up. If it has been one hour- he's not hungry.
Do you have "Healthy Sleep Habits: Happy Child"- it's good.
