sleep training my 8 month old?
he’s almost 8 months and he still doesnt sleep through the night, it’s crazy! im a single mom so im all on my own on this. the problem is that he’s soo clingy (which is fine unless im sleep deprived). ok i admit it, i probably created this monster by breastfeeding to sleep and keeping him on the breast after he’s asleep but i was dead tired so i couldnt help put fall asleep while feeding him. now he wakes up every 20mins - an hr so i could feed him again, and i have to hold him! ive tried crying it out but he just screams his brains out and i just give in.
is there a way i could sleep train him? he takes little cat naps during the day and around 9pm he goes to sleep but wakes up around 12am then stays up until 4am. what should i do??
Let him cry himself to sleep. He has to learn at some point that no one is going to come running to fix his problems EVERY time he cries. My little daughter is learning this, only at 21 months but the point is she doesn’t need everything in the store when we go!
Good luck, and crying never hurt anyone.

try to keep him up more during the day.
and if he still wakes up around 12 then try letting him cry himself back to sleep.
i know its harder than it sounds.
if he cries for more than 5 minutes then try giving him a bottle.
maybe you could ask his pediatrician for some info too

ok i have a 10month old.. what i did was took the day naps away! and when he wakes up in the middle of the night make sure he’s fed and changed.. then put him instantly back in his room and let him cry it out! i know it will be heartbreaking but its for the best (for both of you)! slowly but surely he will recognize the routine!

You can do this! You just have to decide that you will be consistent and won’t give in, and keep telling yourself it’s for his health and yours. You both need sleep. Try this:
Get him attached to a "lovie" - something like a stuffed animal or soft blanket that he can use to help sleep. Right now your breast is his lovie, and that can’t last! Sleep with this new thing for a few nights with him, telling him "here’s your sleep time lovie/blankie/doggie" or something like that, whatever it is.
On night one, get him in jammies, nurse him around 8 pm, then do a short routine, like book, song and prayer. Tell him he’ll be in his own crib that night. You can choose to sit outside the crib, calming him from outside, but you have to be sure you will not give in and hold him or nurse him again. He doesn’t need the milk, it’s just a sleep-aid that is not needed. If you can’t take it, lay him down and walk out, going in every minute, then 2 minutes, then 5 -10 minutes, just to reassure him you’re there but he’s fine and needs to sleep with his lovie. Once he’s asleep, you go get ready for bed. Then WAKE HIM at 11 or 11:30 to nurse him quietly and put him back to sleep. Get a big diaper for him so you won’t need to change him at this nursing unless he’s pooped. If you do change him, change him before you nurse. Then lay him back down and do the same thing you did earlier to get him to sleep. If he wakes up later, don’t nurse him. Just tell him he’s fine and either sit beside him or leave the room the same as before. The key is DON"T take him out of the crib.
If you do this by about day 3 or 4, he will know you won’t pick him up and he’ll stop crying for as long. Then around 9 months, drop the 11 pm feeding and he should sleep easily from 8pm to 7 am. Remember the crying you will endure for one week is a whole lot less crying than you’ll experience if he doesn’t learn to sleep on his own for the next few years. Also, it’s so much harder to train a walking talking toddler than an 8 month old. So president’s day weekend is coming up, sounds like a good time to try to train him so you can nap the next day if his crying keeps you up. Good luck!
By the way, just read previous posters. Horrible idea to take away day time naps. Babies who are over-tired sleep more poorly quite often, and get easily agitated and it’s simply not healthy for them. He should still have 2 naps a day, about 1-2 hours each, plus 11 hours at night. You can do this!

I would cut out the cat naps or at least shorten them & offer him more "mental stimulation" like colourful pictures, outdoor fresh air/mental stimulation … things to make his mind work, which often even makes us tired during a day. He’s not needing much sleep at night because he’s fully rested from lots of naps, little stimulation.
Further, does he drink other types of milk yet? What I’m saying is that part of the amino acid chain found in milk (it’s nutrients, don’t worry) is something called tryptophan. Tryptophan is found in both milk and turkey meat. It makes us sleepy. So, a nice warm (maybe?) bottle of milk when he does go to bed will very likely contribute to his sleeping.
I’ll bet the combination of these 3 will improve your situation.
