How do you get a baby to sleep through the night?
Hi! I have an almost-10-month old baby and I still can't get him to sleep through the night. He has about 16 teeth coming in all at once.. (j/k... only 12), he eats solids like there's no tomorrow, and I'm not sure he wakes up just to eat -We feed him about 5 bottles a night now, but It just keeps getting worse. We've tried everything everyone has suggested, including but not limited to: Feeding him oatmeal prior to bed time, a warm soothing bath routine every night, giving him Tylenol before bed, not letting him take his full naps, (He naps twice a day, approx 1.5 hrs each nap), tiring him out and we even tried letting him cry without feeding him but the pitch of his voice gets so high that our neighbors will eventually call the police and swear we're murdering someone... I need help!

Have you tried co-sleeping?
I realize that it is one of those polarizing topics of parenting, but that is a suggestion.
My boy is now in Kindergarten and I really don't remember those times. And I was a horrible record keeper of information. I wish I could be of more help.
Hi. Thanks for your suggestion. We've tried. We have a Cal-King and we've noticed that he doesn't sleep too well with us. He tends to like to sleep horizontally or diagonally and I'm assuming that dad's face simply gets in the way of his feet so he'd wake daddy up with a swift kick in the face.
(I kind of miss having him in our bed though, because I loved waking up to his smile in the morning.)
He just tends to rest better in his crib. This kid is just too crazy.
