She doesn't have any problem of sleeping thru the night already but with her arms wrapped. She is 11 months old now and still has her arms wrapped to sleep. I had tried to leave her arms free many times with no success. She likes to rub her eyes and scratch her ears non stoppingly till her ears bleeding sometimes then cries out for help. What should I do to free her from wrapping because hotter season is coming soon and i really wish that my daughter will have a "cooler" and "freer" Summer. Please advise. Than You Very Much!

Me and my husband have a very small one room apartment. We have our son sleeping in a crib in the living room. During the day he takes about 5-6 naps about 30-45 minutes each, sometimes longer. I try to be as quiet as I can. I know he needs long naps, but when he wakes up he's wide awake and wants to get up. He does sleep 10-11 hours at night and gets up about twice to eat. Please give me some advice to better nap times. Thanks! -Kara Hi Dana,

She wakes several times each night, sets up or stands in her crib crying until someone comes to get her. She either needs rocking, cuddled, breast fed, or a combination to get back to sleep. Her naps through the day are usually only cat naps of 20 minutes or so. She is also a very early riser (around 5 AM) and is up for an hour or two before going back to sleep. We have tried all the tricks, spent money on useless books with very little success. We are tired! She is tired! And could really use some help. Hi Dana,

My husband and I feel like we have our life back now!!! Aubrey is 5 months old and is doing fairly well at night. We start her bedtime routine at 7:00 and most nights she is asleep by 7:30 or 8:00. Some nights she sleeps all night and other nights she wakes up around 3:00 am to eat. She is still small for her age 12.6 pounds so we still feed her if she wakes up. However, naptimes are a challenge for us. She goes to sleep fairly well but will wake up exactly 30 minutes later. When she wakes she is screaming! I go in there and check to make sure she hasn't rolled over, but I don't let her see me. I have tried letting her lay there for 20-25 minutes to see if she will go back to sleep on her own, but she never has. I have also tried going in as soon as she wakes up and patting her to see if she will go back to sleep, but that hasn't worked either. I can tell she is still so sleepy. She takes about 5 or 6 -30 minute naps a day. By bedtime she is so ill and fussy. We implemented the sleep sense plan about a month ago. Is this something she will grow out of? Is there anything else I can try! Thanks so much!! Hi Dana,
