My baby boy is coming to 5 months and he still wakes up 2 to 3 times every night with screaming cries. Sometimes I feed him milk but he would reject taking it, so sometime I just give water to calm him down. I understand that babies have their own pace to sleep through the night (STTN). Can those mummies who had successfully trained their babies to STTN share their experiences or advices? Thanks!

I managed to get my little one (almost same age as yours) to STTN until recently. I was latching her every 30 minutes and with her screaming her head off each time she woke up. After a few nights like this, I realised she's probably having teething pains. I standby a teether in the fridge at night and gave it to her. Worked for awhile before she woke up screaming again. Then I figured out giving her teething gel and it worked for 2 nights and history repeated itself. Somehow it dawned upon me that I was too tired in the middle of the night to change her diaper. Like her sister, once wet must change else it will be a screaming paradise. Finally gotten the perfect night diaper and my sleep is almost perfect if not for the teething pains. I believe looking into baby's cues and development milestones are very important to understand the needs of our child/ren. Sometimes we remembered this and forgot that. Trial and errors makes us grow together with the child and make us understand them better. Maybe it isn't anything you hadn't done correctly, maybe it's baby who's growing up needs some soothing comfort and help.
