Question
I have an 8 month old baby, he suffered from colics the first few months and I feel his sleeping patterns were affected by this. I noticed he does not sleep like other babies do, he sleeps less hours and he wakes up very easily. By his third month he started sleeping on his crib through the night or at least most of the nights. It was always super hard to put him to sleep; but me and my husband always managed to do it somehow. Lately night time its a nightmare we are dealing with two problems: one is for the baby to finally fall asleep and the second problem is to keep him to sleep through the night. We have developed a routing to get him ready to sleep (bathe him, read a book, sing a song, etc...) but he just has too much energy. Once asleep he tosses around a lot and often wakes up a few times in the middle of the night crying; although I know he is not hungry I prepare a bottle and normally calms him fairly quick. He is sleeping with us in bed because he just wont sleep on his crib. Help! I have tried a lot of things and nothing seems to work. Not sure if this happens to most kids or if should worry about.
