Secondly, organize his sleep, and put him to sleep at the same time during the day (Needs to two naps during the day) and follow the specific system and at the same time in the evening before going to sleep, like breastfeeding then a shower and then read a book and then turning off the lights.

Step Two: separate between breastfeeding and sleeping.

Whether your baby suckle is breastfeeding or industrial avoid took him to sleep and he suckles, It will be difficult for you to break this habit later and will continue Waking up  to breastfeed at night his returning to sleep has become associated with this, So make sure that your baby suckles and full before he falls asleep.

Step three: Replace the breastfeeding by shaking or walking.

Instead of feeding your baby to sleep Begin walking or shaking when he seems sleepy for week or ten days, because breaking the habit will be easier and your goal is to get rid of connect-feeding your baby with sleep.

Step Four: Help your child to sleep lying down.

After a period of walking and shaking your child by you will need to help him to sleep without the need for that so Begin tremor a little and then stop before he falls asleep, carry him in your hands if only began to cry, shake a bit, then stop, and so even falls asleep, may you try to over 20 times but then he will sleep .. Continue in this step another week even he gets used to the new system.

Step Five: Help your baby to sleep in his bed.

The next step after that your baby gets used to sleep without shaking between your hands, it is that you will begin to place him very slowly and quietly in his bed, If he began crying lift him out again and wait and then try again, You may also trying more than 20 times, but in the end he will leave you to put him without objection and you become very close to your goal that he sleeps in his bed alone.

The final step: touch him instead of carrying him.

When your child gets used to put him in the bed before he falls asleep,   make sure to put your hand on his stomach or his head, or holding his hand just he is so completely asleep and not carry again after you put him, and even he wakes up at night  try to put him again and just  touch him  without lifted from his bed, here, your child habituate to fall asleep in his bed alone gradually.
