7 month old wont sleep hellp

When my daughter was two months old she would not sleep in her crib and she would cry all night...so i bought her a swing. BAD IDEA. I didn't realize how hard that is to break from them when they get older. I really want her to sleep in her crib now but i can't find anything that will help. Even in the swing she wakes up several times every night. She has never really slept good, even if i give her rice cereal, a bottle, baby food, etc. I try rocking her but she wants to play or sit up, i try laying with her but the same thing happens. She has to be rocking alone in her swing with a bottle or she wont sleep, and again even then it's still not a long sleep through the night. Anyone have this problem? :/ she takes maybe an hour and a half nap two times a day and then sleeps on and off all night.

Not sure. My LO never had sleep problems. I'd try keeping the LO up durring the day. Maybe CIO? I'm not into it but I heard it works.

What's that? Sorry don't know all the terms

No worries! It's cry it out loud. Just let them bitch and fuss for a minute.

LOL my son never slept "good" through the night until he was 14 months old. My current 8 month still doesn't sleep "good" either..
Babies sleep patterns change every few months. The swing is a bad habit that you need to break. At 7 months some babies sleep through the night, and some not at all. Yours falls into the not all.
You could try CIO, but that's up to you.
Is she super stimulated before bed?

Gotcha! I do but when i let her cry she pukes a ton. She's been doing that recently so i try not to. She's growing out of the swing so fast and i know other moms have gone through this, just can't find them!

She has always kind of been the same. She has never really slept all that well. It's always very restless with her. I let her play for awhile and then she gets cranky so i try and put her to bed but she wakes up not long after

I'm sorry momma. Just try to keep her up durring the day. That's the best advice I can give.

Letting them cry only works because they learn to accept neglect. Kids do this, but letting her scream until she pukes will only hurt your bonding and very possibly smurf her up later in life.
It'll be a hard transition. Start turning off the swing when she falls asleep, then turning it off before she falls asleep, then moving her to a crib.
And it's totally normal for a 7 month old not to sleep through the night....

Try walking or wearing her down. She may be over stimulated.

Walking a baby down is going on a calm, quiet walk in the stroller for about 30 minutes.
Wearing a baby down, is putting baby in a sling or front carrier and walking around with them. Turn off noise, maybe put some light music on and just get her relaxed.

I had to go on a walk with my daughter everynight for a few months. We'd give her a bath, get her in her jammies, get a bottle ready incase she got hungry on the walk and just go for about 30-45 minutes. Sometimes she was asleep, but if she wasn't she was still relaxed enough to go to sleep. We just layed her down in her crib.

Also dinner is at 6:30 for her, then at 8pm she has a bottle.

You may just have a difficult sleeper. Good news is, eventually it does get better as she learns to go longer between feedings and put herself back to sleep.

Its normal, my 7 month old only sleeps 2-3 hours at a time through the night. Its hard, but its normal.

Thank you! I didn't think of walking her around. I figured she should be tired of playing so much. Thanks(:

It just calms them down. Over stimulation can cause sleep problems. Also develop a nightly routine. Have her eat around the same time, maybe not give her an actual bath nightly but the warm water with lavendar is calming, then do the walking and then give a bottle. Soothing music or white noise.

They're just like you or I, we can't fall asleep very well when we've had a lot going on for the night.

My first son was a terrible sleeper at night. He woke every few hours and used to scream himself back to sleep while I held him and rocked him. If I put him down in his cot too soon after he fell asleep in my arms he would wake up screaming. Other than at sleep time he didn't used to scream. I battled through with this until he was 14 months, by which stage I was a wreck! My husband was deployed from the time he was 10months so I was doing it all by myself too. Finally at 14mths I took him to a clinic where they did controlled crying. The nurses their helped me. The first night he screamed for 40 minutes while we went in and out waiting while he screamed before going back in a few minutes later to reassure him give him a pat and the leave again. After the 40mins he slept through the night! Something he had never done. The next night it took 50 minutes of crying before he fell asleep and once again he slept through the night. The third night he didn't cry once! We walked out of his room and he was silent. He slept through the night and he never cried at sleep time again. I never had any bonding issues because of this and he is now a very normal, healthy 12yr old. 7 months may be a bit young for this to work for you, especially if your LO is vomiting if left to cry, but don't rule it out as an option for later on if the problems persist. Done correctly controlled crying can work but if you do it wrong, your LO will just end up with more problems. Good luck with weaning off the swing!

She's now eight months and only sleeps an hour tops during the day for a nap. I got her to sleep in her crib for half the night. I let her fall asleep in the swing, then moved her to the crib. I'll keep trying but since she's not even aware of it I don't see it making much of a difference.
