My baby is 10 months old and he can't sleep through the night yet. He's on formula. How can I make this happen? I need my sleep!

Many doctors recommend night time weaning and "cry it out" methods. Some babies will begin to sleep through the night between 4 to 6 months, but sleeping through the night for more than 8 hours typically occurs after 6 months. Sleeping through the night may be delayed for breastfeeding babies because they metabolite breast milk relatively fast and require more frequent feedings. Before you baby can sleep through the night, she has to have bypassed some of the physical and cognitive milestones like: - Decrease startle (or Moro) relax. The reflex usually drops significantly and disappears by 4 months. - Increased feeding and weight gain - Decreased multiple feedings during the night - Increased ability to self soothe Every baby is different and will do things on their own timeline.
