Need Help Desperately. Can anyone give advice on how to get my 15month old dd to sleep through the night. She still nurses at night only and only stays sleep like 2 to 2.5 hours at a time!! It's getting to be too much to say the least. What am I not doing right?

- you have to stop feeding her at night and let her cry it out.

  - ITA. I nursed my DD to sleep until 17 months (and she would wake up 1x/night) until I finally did CIO. Never woke up again. Took 3 nights. She now puts herself to sleep in crib for naps and night.

    - I wonder if I'm not giving her enough food at dinner?? She's the one that starts to push the food away though so she's full. We have dinner at 6:30/7pm... is that too early?

        that is not good. if you do not fix it now, maybe you will have another 5 years of this.

- stop feeding at night. It is hard, but she can def. handle it. Our 4 mos old doesnt eat at night anymore- she is certainly big enough. I loved Weisbluth.. tough, but it works! GL
