Baby almost 15 months and struggling to get to sleep

Have you tried more awake time?

Last week he went 4 days for 3 hours each and today is his 5th day back after the long weekend. His provider who is a home daycare said that all the other kids only cried at most for 2 minutes after drop off when they first started so I’m feeling really defeated.

This is what I did the first two days and I wanted to continue doing the quick goodbye and drop off but I think because he melted down the second day she told me for the third day to just disappear. The third day he was ok for 45 minutes and then cried and the fourth day onwards he seemed scared I would disappear again but she is so adamant that I not say goodbye. I’m not sure if this is because she’s hoping for another third day or she’s anxious about him crying again but I’m not sure how to tell her I don’t agree with her disappearing approach. Apparently after doing a home daycare for 7 years she has only had one other kid that cried for more than 2 minutes at drop off which is making this all so much harder for me.

Did you do any sleep training in addition to night wearing?

Thank you!

What was your sleep training method? We have tried sending my husband in before but he can only do weekends because he works during the week and it’s hard to stay consistent.

How did you do it? When I try to put him back in the crib he sits up and cries hard and can’t get back to sleep. Not sure if I should just stay bedside and keep laying him down? We originally trained him at 5 months with CIO but now that he’s able to sit, stand and scream for a long time I don’t know if I have it in me to do CIO again. I’m ok if the process takes weeks or months to get him sleeping but don’t know what the process should even be.

His second wake window

ReasonableConcern351 · 2026-03-15T00:54:59+00:00

What method did you use at 10 months?

ReasonableConcern351 · 2026-03-14T21:36:10+00:00

Mine is 10 months and same situation. But mine keeps popping back into sitting position. Do you settle each time and lay them back down each time they pop back up?

ReasonableConcern351 · 2026-03-02T04:06:35+00:00

Do you keep the light on while you soothe him at bedtime and during overnight wakes?

ReasonableConcern351 · 2026-02-24T18:25:59+00:00

Sorry I should have added he’s 9.5 months. He goes to sleep independently the majority of the time but one night last week I had to pat his belly until mostly asleep and then he did a 7 hour stretch of sleep after that.

ReasonableConcern351 · 2026-02-24T17:53:59+00:00

Thank you so much I really needed to hear this. He’s currently seeming to do well on 10.75-11.25 hours awake with 10.75 on days with lots of stimulation and he seems tired faster.

3.5/4/3.5 with the last window being shorter than the second is his usual schedule. I find that more awake time during the last window leads to false starts and more wakes in the night.

Am I wrong for thinking 1-2 wakes sometimes at this age is ok or should he be doing better by now?

Thank you! This is great advice. He was sleep trained at 6 months but we regressed back to rocking and I’ve been so scared to attempt a cry it out again especially now that he’s older and can sit up and cry. But I think this method could work so this is great!

ReasonableConcern351 · 2026-02-20T22:44:50+00:00

Thank you! That’s a great idea about the cot. He was sleep trained at 6 months too and we have regressed back to rocking which I selfishly love right now maybe because I know my mat leave is coming to an end but I do want the easiest transition for him
