Some Soylentils have managed to reproduce, so this study, which has findings on how to keep the young ones keep sleeping through the night, might be useful.
Overall, studies indicate that 15 to 20 percent of one to three year olds continue to have nightwakings. According to Stephanie Zandieh, M.D., Director, Pediatric Sleep Disorders and Apnea Center, The Valley Hospital, "Inappropriate sleep associations are the primary cause of frequent nightwakings. Sleep associations are those conditions that are habitually present at the time of sleep onset and in the presence of which the infant or child has learned to fall asleep. These same conditions are then required in order for the infant or child to fall back to sleep following periodic normal nighttime arousals."
Sleep associations can be appropriate (e.g., thumb sucking) or problematic (e.g., rocking, nursing, parental presence). "Problematic sleep associations are those that require parental intervention and thus cannot be reestablished independently by the child upon awakening during the night," adds Dr. Zandieh.
Here are some helpful tips to help your child sleep through the night:
Every child is different, but the techniques seem sensible and worth trying, such as giving them a security blanket (or teddy bear, etc) when being put to bed to signal it's time to sleep.

Yes, you are off topic, so I cannot mod you up. Certainly, it would not apply in all/most cases since I think most males can heal successfully from ritual male genital mutilation.
My ex-mother reported that for the first two years of my life I was inconsolable when I should have been sleeping. I have no studies to prove it, but something went wrong when they mutilated my genitals. I continue to suffer physical discomfort and sometimes pain even in adult life---waking life---, in addition to sleep disturbances.
Mod offtopic, but only because I'm supposed to accept that amputating a body part from me was safer than dunking my head momentarily in water. My ex-mother chose the ritual, and she got what she deserved: a son murdered by the shapeshifting forces of hell. She deserved it, because she did not reason with her rational mind. Perhaps she would still have a son today if she had not mutilated his genitals at birth and thus killed that son herself?

Ah, so we finally figure out what Aristarchus' problem is. His wee-wee is damaged.

That sounds more like Kurenai than Aristarchus...
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
