6.5 mo ds doesn't sleep more than 1-2 hours at a time on a good day, and that includes through the night. He sleeps with us at night, and nurses at least twice, but also comes on and off throughout the night to suck when he wakes. Babysitter now puts him down in crib during the day for naps, which never exceed 40 minutes, and before leaving at night. Dh then tries to get him back to sleep with each waking, but he never makes it past third waking (usually by 9-9:30), and I end up going to bed early with ds. He is a high-needs baby who won't take paci, and I don't feel like he has the temperment for Ferber. Please help! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

this is a really tough age. Our ds also started waking up every couple of hours at this time. We had him in his crib and my husband and i would switch off to go in there and rock/nurse him back to sleep. He also did not take the paci. I was working and I just couldn't take it any more and we used CIO (Ferber)--nothing else worked. You might just try it for a few nights and be surprised. I'm not going to lie, it is tough, but remind yourself that it is not good for your db to be up that much at night either. [ Reply | More
