Sleep Problems!

Post subject: Sleep Problems! My baby is 11 months and has never really been a great sleeper. I am able to put him down to sleep in his crib awake for the most part, he usually only cries for a minute or two and then he's asleep. Although this doesn't seem to last for very long. Within 2 or 3 hours of going to sleep he has been waking up almost every night and of course is screaming! I just went back to work a month ago, and now the frequency he gets up is much more. And he seems to cry forever! We tried letting him cry it out and he has gone for 1 hour 20 min. I go in every 10 or 15 minutes to try and console him, but that seems to make him scream even louder and he seems much more upset. Any suggestions...

Post subject: Sleep problems He isn't in daycare, he is with my husband for the most part. But my mom and dad are also helping out. I am working 3 days a week and it's been a month. I know he's completely out of his routine now, but I'm just not sure what to do. Should I let him cry it out a few nights? A week? Last night he cried for about an hour and 10 min. I initially picked him up and attempted to rock him to sleep (which almost never works, not sure why I tried it, but I just wanted to console him and let him know I was there) and after 10 min, he was asleep and I put him in the crib and that is what started the crying, or should I say screaming...

Post subject: Billie,
Thats a tough one, my ypungest is 7 months, and she usually goes down awake and puts herself to sleep, but sometimes she goes through stages where she cries and cries, she is either too hot so i strip her to her vest and she settles better, but i find usuallys he is thirsty (not hungry) , so while she lying in her cot a let her have some water from a bottle and she drinks some and goes to sleep............. Or the only ither thing is teething, and ashton and parsons teething powder works a treat . . . . hope some of that may help a little
