Hi Parents, My baby is 13 month old and he dosent sleep at night continously atleast for four hours. He is habituated to saree cradle right from his 1 st month. he sleeps peacefully in a cradle and that habit sucks. I try to make to make him sleep on bed with lots of effort and he just wakes up within an hour and starts crying. Please help me to how to change this habit and tips for continous sleep. Thanks in advance. Thanks manasa

Dear Manasa, it looks like your baby doesnt want to sleep without being rocked in the cradle. It will be a difficult to make him sleep on a bed but being consistent will help. Do not carry your baby or take him out of the bed when he cries. You may co-sleep with him and pat him when he wakes up but avoid carrying him each time he wakes up. He may gradually settle with the feeling that you are near him and may stop crying if he wakes up. Slowly he will also learn to fall back to sleep on his own. Consistency is the key here. Hope this helps.
