Hi,  I  have  a  3  year  old  and  and  8  month  old  (daughters)    and  I  have  come  to  learn  with  many  years  of  raising  my  younger  brother  and  sisters;  plus  my  mother  comes  from a  family  of  13;  so  my  grandmother  and  mother  has  alot  of  good advice  needless  to  say.  The  most  effective  way  to  get  your  baby  to  sleep  longer  and  better  is  a  regular  bath;  every  night.  They  don't  need   to  be  long  baths;  they  can  be  very  short.  Right  after  a  bath  I  then  feed  her  some  pablem  and  then  put  her  in  her  swing  with  her  bottle.  She  is  then  out  for  the  night  and  might  wake  up  once  or  twice  (which  is  very  normal  at  this  age).  Full  night sleeps  won't  happen  till  about  1  year  of  age.  When  he does  scream  or  wake,  turn  him  on  his  side  and  wrap  the  blankets  close  and pat  his  back  or  side;  they  like  the  feeling that  you  are close  by.  I  know  its  very  tiring  to do  this  but  it   gets  them  use  to  being  comforted  to  sleep  completely  on  their  own.  Hope  this  helps!
