Breast milk in the day, and formula at night before they sleep. Formula is thicker and will hold the baby off longer.

I didnt read any of the thread...but, knowing people with kids theyll grow out of it. Just depends on the kid when. I was told when I was an infant I was silent the entire night. What Ive always heard was though, if its fed and clean, and not in any trouble or pain, let it cry it out. The idea being eventually it will learn that crying wont get them anything.

I have a 2 an a half year old Sydal and for the longest time I would say from 6 months to about a year she was picky as hell on what she ate. We tried every formula under the sun. The one that worked for our daughter was parents choice which is the walmart brand with the same vitamins as the brand stuff. My daughter is picky when it comes to sleeping. She will sleep through the night fine but it took awhile for that to happen. I found that when i put an osculating fan in the room she pretty much would sleep all night and loved it as well as the radio on low for some background noise. My advice is almost the same as the rest, ride it out and your son will find his sleep groove. I was working 16hr days and coming home and getting up every two hours with my daughter at night as she a daddies girl. Its normal for a kid not to sleep at night for the first six months to a year. It will get better I promise you that. My daughter is now 2 and a half and maybe wakes up twice asking for some milk in her sippy cup. I would try different things at night. Some soft music or something to relax him. If he has gas alot I would switch his diet as its possible his upset stomic is causing discomfort which in term is causing him to stay up at night. Also buy some MYLICON drops(gas reliever), they are life savers for babies with gas.

Welcome to parenthood brother! Good thing I didn't go through the same thing, my daughter as a newborn was a good baby. Was up for a good 6-7 hours a day and at night she'd sleep and I remember she'd only wake up around 2-3am and then back to sleep and wake up at 5-6am...

you have to train your son to sleep tho, try waking him up early in the AM...have him go back to sleep around 11am ..wake him up at 12pm ...try to keep him up till 5-6pm..let him sleep for another 2 hours...wake him up again...he should go back to sleep around 10-11pm and wake up around 3-4am hungry....that's all you need to do..train him with a schedule!
DFresh knows what up! I know if my daughter naps any later than 2p she will be up till like 12 or 1am before she tired. Also if you take em to the party and let them burn off that energy they will be to bed on time in no time. But when their still babies what DFresh said is exactly what you should try. Also keep in mind every child is different and the thing that works for one person might not work for another.

When my son was younger and sometimes had problems sleeping I just put him into the car and drove around the block 1 or 2 times and he would fall asleep.

Lmfao when my girl and I were new parents one of us would always be awake and the other would sleep. We were always afraid something would happen if both of us were asleep, too overly protective. I remember being a zombie for like 6 months, then I realized everything would be ok and I developed the skill of sleeping with one eye open and waking to any sound which still comes in handy with my mischievous lil guy now that he is 5 years old. Luckily for me my son always calmed down when I played music, in fact for those times where he was going nutts I would buckle him up and take a ride with music playing, he still falls asleep minutes into the first song almost any time we drive anywhere.

Lol we had those issues too! Mostly me a lot of siccness reading and other things watching them sleep. I almost went crazy from lack of sleep watching them breathe.

sad thing is only the young folk people who no kids are the ones tryna be funny.
i have a 2 year old and the lil fucker eats breakfast fine (mini pancakes n cereal) his lunch is either pb&j or chicken bites and same as lunch as for dinner. .. also likes apply sauce n fruits here and there he doesn't seem to like to eat much of anything when other kids are around
and ofc he like sugary shit and other shit he aint supposed. hes eating habits are most of the time like that with the occasional he eat a french fry or want to try
something but hes picky as fuck and it pisses me off


he fights his daytime naps ALOT but sleeps when hes out then. bedtime he fights as well and half the time wakes right back up or in like 2-3 hrs which he will be wide the fuck awake till 7am then fall asleep which he did the other day. my boy is gonna make me die early . kids 2-4 are the worst fuck all this 1-2,3 shit that was EASY

i cant wait till hes like 6-7
