Hellobee Boards

She was around seven months old. She moved to her own room and would wake once in the night, but we still had to rock and put her down asleep. We got it to where she goes down drowsy,but she is still awake and she dropped her night fefeedingwe used the sleep sense. Now we only have problems if it's a bad night due to teething.

We began when my son was breaking out of the swaddle, at 6 months of age. He had a very strong moro reflex.

We were not successful in training him until 11 months of age for a variety of reasons. We did CIO with checks.

We successfully sleep trained at 6.5 months. He didn't completely drop all night feeds til 12 months or so--I personally think 12 weeks is WAY too early to expect a baby to drop night feeds, and at that age STTN is sleeping 5+hours I think...

We sleep trained to fall asleep at night at 3.5. It felt so young but she had been nursing to sleep before and was waking up and freaking out when we tried to put her down, we were rocking her for sometimes over an hour at a time to get her to fall and stay asleep and then praying she wouldn't wake up when we put her down. It wasn't working. So we did CIO just for the initial falling asleep, first at night, then a couple of weeks later for nap, and it was life changing. If she woke up after only a couple of hours, Dh went in and rocked her first before I fed her- anytime I went in she just wanted milk. She kept two, then one, motn feeding until nine months. Trying to train her off them didn't go well.

we used CIO around 11 weeks for falling asleep. once as LO fell asleep we didn't have issues with MOTN wakings (the ones he had were reasonable), but we were having a bear of a time with falling asleep in the first place.

mrs. high heels sleep trained around 6 weeks--she posted about it on the blog. i found those posts very helpful.

ferber at 4.5 months with charlie. he was pretty easy to night train. he was also a big baby, and we kept one feeding, but he quickly dropped it on his own.

Ferber at 16 weeks for falling asleep. We kept MOTN feeds because they were quick and she would go right back to sleep. Putting her to bed was taking us two hours.

Never. My DD is almost 9 months and last night for the first time ever didn't wake to eat from 7p-6a. Typically she wakes 1-2 times a night to eat. We will see if it sticks. It's very normal (for breastfed babies at least) to wake to eat in the first year.

6 months, used CIO to drop her last feeding and get her to sleep all the way through.

We started the 15 minute rule when she was like 3 months old.

14 weeks. No regrets. In fact I feel like I should have done it earlier. Ferber method, only for going to bed. I did not train for MOTN wakings (he was down to one waking by then). About a month later, he dropped that last feeding on his own.

We CIO for our first son at 4.5 months and it worked perfectly, although he wasn't nightweaned until 9 months. He would only wake up once per night to feed. We tried with our second son at the same age, but it didn't work. He would cry non-stop for 2+ hours, so we gave up and tried again at 7 months. He went from waking 2-3 times per night to once per night. He's now nine months and still resistant to giving up his once per night feed, so we're just waiting.

DS1, we did CIO around 6 months and he took to it pretty well! He was able to put his paci back in which made me feel a lot better about it.

DS2, I've had to do CIO here and there since I solo parent most nights, but he doesn't cry hard or for long. Also, he just recently started sucking his thumb (5 months old), so he has really perfected his self soothing.

@Mrs tartan: It has been two weeks since we started training our now almost 15 week old daughter to fall asleep on her own (CIO). I am not night weaning her, but wait to see if she is really awake before feeding her and also base it in the last time she was fed. We trained our first at 6 months with Ferber and he dropped the night feedings on his own the first night.

Does CIO mean you just let them cry forever until they fall aslerp , even if they cry for a few hours?

@Pumpkin Pie: CIO usually means straight letting them cry it out. We did that with our second because the progressive waiting made it worse IMO. Maybe @meredithNYC: can be of some help to you.

Did some at 3.5 months but it didn't stick through the 4 month sleep regression/jet lag hell, so again at 5.5 months and it worked amazingly well! We did extinction as checks just worked him up. Within the last 2 months he's started sleeping 7pm-5 or 6am reliably. He's 8.5 months so we'll see if the 9 month sleep regression hits him as hard as 4 month.
