  • Unfortunately just normal! None of my 3 children slept through the night until they were two.
    Check the usual things like not too hot or too cold, not hungry, you could try letting them self settle for a bit.


  • warm drink before putting down to settle. Make sure not too hot or cold. If any chance of teething then try some Panadol


  • My baby is also having the same issue 🙁


  • A paediatrician might be able to give you some good tips. My son has just turned 2 and has only just started sleeping through the night on and off


  • How are they sleeping now?


  • i hope all is going well


  • Hope you have managed to find a way to help them sleep better.


  • Won’t sleep at all or won’t sleep through. A lady at the chemist told me her child would micro sleep and it would seem like they never slept at all!


  • I hope for your sake soon they will sleep during the night


  • Sounds like your baby wants to be an owl


  • Any advice below helped since your post?


  • Some kids just don’t sleep all night through, my daughter took a long time before she did.


  • Did you find any good tips you like?


  • Let them lie in the cot, I do that with my 20 month old lays there silently and falls asleep when she gets bored


  • My two year old still wakes. All kids are different. I know it help my bub to have light relaxation cd on in the background


  • My 2 year old and 4 year old still wake at least once most nights.


  • Is your baby hungry when they are waking? waking out of habit? To warm/cold? wanting their dummy?.. My 6 month old son was waking constantly through the night not hungry purely just wanting his dummy.. Our paediatrician advised us to ignore him allowing him to have a grizzle. He now sleeps 7-7 every night.. It’s tough ignoring them but it has paid of as he is now a much happier baby getting a good solid amount of sleep..


  • Its true what other people have said, some babies don’t sleep through the night at that age and its nothing you’re doing wrong.


  • Doesnt Sleep through the whole night or doesnt sleep at all?


  • They are a baby, they may not be ready to sleep all night yet.
