Getting your little one into the cot is the easy part - getting them to stay there and sleep is where the real work comes in. Here's what some of our members suggest.

Hungry or just restless?
'If your child is having three solid meals a day plus milk then the waking probably isn't out of hunger. The problem with giving a feed to get him back to sleep is that he will begin to accept this as normal routine.'

'I changed to the hungrier milk after 3 months as my son was getting unsettled, but not quite old enough to start on solids, and found this made a difference.'
