We both work, as I am the one that gets up to our son I lose out

Hi Maree,
My son is 13 months going on 14 months, he settles fine for his night sleep but will wake up gauranteed every night between 12 and 3am. I have tried settling him in his cot, on the lounge, my arms, doing this for an hour or more. After trying this for six weeks I put him in our bed which works but my husband and I don`t always get the good night sleep. We both work, as i am the one that gets up to our son I loose out. Is there anything else that I can try?

Answer: Hi Kathleen,
Sometimes we try so many things that we end up confusing baby and ourselves about where and how to sleep.
Always make sure he settles awake into his cot so he learns to sleep independently, if he falls asleep in your arms or with a feed he wakes later looking for that same comfort. You may wish to try our settling program it`s hard to do but in a week or so you might all being sleeping peacefully.

Cheers, Maree
