My son who is 15 months old is still not sleeping through the night. He wakes up like 4 times at night,crying softly but eyes closed. He seems to be very sleepy but could not get himself to sleep or something wkes him up. Any solution?

Answers:
yes, try this......

start with the same bedtime routine every night.
walk out of the room when your child is tucked in to bed, nightlight, story read....ect...
when he cries in the night....go in there (no talking) roll him over, get him comfy, give him a paci, whatever.....and leave the room. very important do not talk to him at all no verbal conversation at all, none.
wait 5 min. and repeat
if he is still crying do the same thing no talking
wait 10 min and repeat
do the same
wait 15 min and repeat
do the same

do this in intervals of 5 min, this will teach him to sooth himself. and hopefully the next time he wakes up in the middle of the night he will sooth himself back to sleep

He might be dreaming. Don't feed him to heavy and/or late before bed
