[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone,

Has everyone experience with a baby/toddler with significant sleep issues? My son is now 15 months. During his first 6 months, he never slept more than 3 hours in a row at night. Naps were short and he didn't sleep enough during the day neither. When he turned 6 months, he started sleeping through the night but at around 12 month old he has started waking in the middle of the night again, crying and yelling, and waking up the entire family. We are exhausted now. We make sure he goes through the same routine each night and that the room temperature is comfortable. We also make sure he eats enough food. He doesn't nap for more that 1 hour and half during the day. We have tired everything to help him napping more (soothing music, adjusting the light/room temperature) but so far nothing has worked.

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks![/quote]

Not that you'll get this response here in DCUM normally but that isnt "sleep issues" thats just your baby and honestly, a normal one at that. How much are you expecting him to sleep total? Does he wake up 1-2 in the night or every 3 hours still? As a very gentle reminder, sleeping through the night is anywhere from 5-8 hours in baby sleep research not the 10-12 hours propagandized by baby sleep trainers. If they said 5-8 hours was expected then most wouldn't need their services.  
Mine didnt sleep from bedtime to waketime all the way through (10+ hours) until 2.5. He had 5-8 hour stretches since 15 months but regressions and teething always caused more wakeups. Hes 3 and just getting his 2 year molars. Didnt start teething until 14 months so we went from rolling, crawling, walking straight into teething. 
Also did you cut the nap to get more sleep at night or was that something HE did?[/quote]
