    Can I ever have a full night sleep
    My daughter is eight months old now but still won't sleep through out the night.she is used to of sleeping while feeding and wakes up after an hour after sleeping,then she keep on waking up all night,so I have to put her besides me In my bed. I tried solids,formula before making her sleep but I didn't work,its like she makes it as a habbit and do it as a soother more than for hunger.almost every one advised me to let her cry and sleep by her self but to be honest I can't handle her crying.is there any other way to make her sleep through out the night.I would appreciate it.

    You are still carrying on her new infant routine then, sounds like. She is eight months old so can stay awake for other activities. You have to break that routine. Having her sleep with you is not a habit you should encourage. I definitely advocate 'tough love' and let her cry in her own bed. At eight months she should be sleeping through the night. Develop good habits.

    Hey,tick has a really good suggestion there,if she is waking still throughout the night,skip a feed,and just let her cry... it will be hard.. make sure the room is dark enough,and she is full before you put her down,a bath and a cuddle will help too.. develop a new bed time routine,stick with it,and before long she will be sleeping through.
