Glad to see some of you people have a clue. The first few posters scared me to death. I couldn't imagine EVER leaving my child to cry....not in a million years. I snuggled with her in our bed for 6 years and we loved every minute of it...and btw, I worked full time and breastfed until she was almost 3 and 1/2.

I have a four year old. He co-slept for about a year before he went in his crib. Sometime he has to cry himself to sleep when he was just getting used to it but when we was about 2 1/2 we got him a big bed. He starting coming in my room and wanting to sleep with me. So I would scoot over and let him sleep. He would stay for a couple hours then go back to his room. I think he just wanted the comfort that someone was there and listened to his needs. It took a couple of months and he stopped. Now he is four and likes to have story time in our bed then fall asleep. I move him to his bed almost everynight. But so what. What is the harm? None. So I let him

Could he be teething?

It might be worth it to take him to the dr for a checkup. It also could be an ear infection, as mentioned. My children don't sleep well at all with either. I use Motrin to help with the pain of teething, and that can help with the sleeping. I also hold them a lot and do lots of cuddling for comfort.

We had sleep issues with our oldest daughter. She would cry for long periods in the middle of the night and had a really hard time settling down. It made sound weird, but I found that part of the problem was that we did not have a consistent eating schedule or wake up schedule. I would put her to bed at the same time each night with her routine. However, I would not wake her up in the morning. We also would eat at different times depending on when she woke up and where we were going.

It was a a bit difficult, but I had to force both of us to get up at the same early time each day no matter how much we were up at night. I also made mealtime consistent since I learned from a doctor that this can affect body cycles as well. I was surprised this worked rather quickly.
