10 Mo. Old Not Sleeping Through the Night.

.

You might try a small bottle or rocking him back to sleep or both. This worked for us... for awhile. We eventually took the easy route and just let him sleep in the bed with us, where he is six months later. But, try the bottle. Sometimes babies who are more active need that one last feeding. Good luck.

Have you tried putting him back into his bed once he falls back to sleep in the middle of the night? There are several options.
1) Stick to your guns and insist that he stay in his bed with you assuring him he's OK (several times/night if necessary).
2) Let him sleep with you as much as he wants to.
3) Put a mat and covers on the floor in your room and let him sleep there if he wants to.
4) Put him back in his bed once he's asleep.
5) Let him sleep with you with a time limit on how long you'll let this go on. Then you'll have to 'wean' him from sleeping in your bed at some point.

Good luck whatever you do!

Some more simple but wonderful 'rules' for parenting.
1) Never let a child take a bottle to bed with anything except water in it. (No bottle at all is better).
2) Never let a child get what they want because of a demand or a tantrum. You are in charge or the child is. It's your job to be.
3) Never tell a child anything unless you mean it.
4) If you mean and say something, follow through.

You have received a lot of "cry it out" advice. And maybe this will work for you. My baby is much younger and we're just starting to work on lengthening out her sleep, but we're not willing to use "cry it out" methods. We have just started working with the book "The No Cry Sleep Solution". I can't promise it works, but many have recommended it to me. If you want a gentler approach, check it out.

I hope you find an approach that works for all of you. Peace to you.

My son did the same thing at about 9 or 10 months, he is about a year now. We asked our Pediatrician about it and he told us that our son needed his own space, own room, and own bed to sleep well (he had been sleeping in his crib in our room). He suggested that we create a bedtime routine for our son (such as a warm bath, a last bottle, a book) and stick with it. He also suggested waiting until he was actually tired (which is about 9 or 10 sometimes depending on his naps). This has REALLY helped. At 9 we put him is his pjs, give him a bottle and cuddle while we read about two books. Then we put him in his crib (which is now in his own room), cover him up and pat his back a little bit...and his out like a light...for the WHOLE night! Sometimes he will wake up, but we don't pick him up, we just rub his back and he'll go back to sleep.
Give it a try.

My son is 10 months old also and we go through periods where he sleeps 12 hours straight and others where he wakes up during the time you mention. It is hard, but let him cry. After 10 minutes you can rub his head, pat his back reassure him you are there. But then walk away. Don't pick him up. Then wait 15 mintues before going back. So on, and so on. It may be a hard week to break his habit of waking up, but then magically he will stop and sleep through again. It will be worth it.

It is possible that with the teething his sleep was disturbed for a few nights, and once he slept in your bed he now wants that all the time. If you guys don't mind sleeping with him, then just go with that. I've known a lot of people that did. If that is not an option, then you will have to start training him to sleep on his own agian. It may take 3 or 4 nights.

sounds to me like you have already started that habit of putting him in bed with you. All it takes is for him to know one time that he is going to end up in bed with you. Give the little guy some credit, he is smarter than you think. You need to let him cry it out and don't give in.
