His 2 naps have been going well so far today. I think because he’s exhausted from last night!!!! ha! 😉 thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806295 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:44:32 +0000 cake2017 2806295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crazydoglady: Thanks!!!! Yes the crib is lowered!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806284 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:10:35 +0000 gingerbebe 2806284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the point at which we tossed a few soft stuffed animals into the crib. Each boy has slept with about 3-4 different ones plus a small soft plushy blanket and a toddler pillow since they could pull up. The idea is that if they fall over, it might be a little bit of a bumper. Between that and the mesh bumpers, there was enough stuff around the crib where I didn't think it would do much damage. I left my kids alone. They would cry and tip over at some point and fall back asleep. It only lasted a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806282 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:09:20 +0000 crazydoglady 2806282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @SweetiePie: and just let it pass. The fascination will eventually wane. If you haven't lowered your crib yet, you'll definitely want to do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806209 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:55:21 +0000 cake2017 2806209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Agreed! Thanks this helps a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806208 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:32:03 +0000 SweetiePie 2806208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: well, he’s getting to the Bumps and bruises stage since he’s crawling and pulling up and soon cruising. So, it’s going to happen. He’s not going to get majorly hurt from bumping his head on the crib, so I just let it go. That’s how they learn!<br /> But if you aren’t comfortable with that, I wouldn’t go in and just lay him down. I would go in and not talk or really acknowledge (so he knows it’s not playtime) and I would help him get down. Like move his arms and legs to show him how to get back down. If that makes sense. </p> <p>But he will learn and figure it out, this is temporary. And normal and good! Because he’s learning a new skill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806205 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 08:07:53 +0000 cake2017 2806205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: Should I go to the room and put him back down or let him fall which would cause him to hit his head or something...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806203 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 07:38:18 +0000 SweetiePie 2806203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: normal/they all do it with new skills. nothing you can really do. It’ll last a week or so then he’ll be over it and sleep will go back to normal. Just try to keep things consistent and don’t create new sleep crutches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8-month-old-standing-up-in-crib#post-2806202 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 07:11:10 +0000 cake2017 2806202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>LO just discovered he can stand. He’s crawling too. Now he’s standing in the crib and doesn’t know how to get down. Rough night of screaming and crying. Any advice.....?</p> <p>He sleeps well now just this. </p> <p>TIA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801846 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 13:49:48 +0000 cake2017 2801846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I’m hoping this passes quick! I feel better that we have the liners! So I won’t be responding every 1 hour tonight because he’s stuck :/. He was doing so well... 10-12 hours a night! Now this! But I’m going to ride it out! Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801835 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:50:37 +0000 SweetiePie 2801835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @cake2017: same. Every time they learn a new skill there’s a sleep disruption. Rolling, sitting, crawling, pulling up to stand. Just have to ride it out and usually allow for some CIO. You know why they’re doing it and usually after a couple days, maybe a week max, they are used to it and the excitement wears off. So for a few nights you don’t want to mess with too much (introduce new sleep crutches, etc). </p> <p>Also, same with the mesh bumpers. Love. They also keep all the pacis in the crib! 🙌🏼 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801833 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:45:22 +0000 cake2017 2801833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay that’s what I was thinking. We lowered the crib one level down for now and added the mesh liners. Thanks so much everyone. Hope this helps! 😆 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801820 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 11:02:55 +0000 gingerbebe 2801820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: yep we got mesh bumpers, lowered the crib all the way, and CIO. There’s nothing wrong with them and there’s no way to get them to stop so I let them be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801797 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 06:17:56 +0000 cake2017 2801797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Did you just let them cio when they would sit up crying? I’ve been up all night. Going to get the mesh liner today. He’s attempting to pull himself up so we will lower the crib too. I don’t know what to do because he’s not sleeping and he wants too! Me too 😓 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801794 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 02:49:44 +0000 cake2017 2801794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: Did it stop after he learned to crawl? Did you lower your crib when he was grabbing on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801715 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:52:12 +0000 cake2017 2801715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: Yes! He’s sleep trained. Doing well! Now this haha. also i’ll just suck it up and be cranky with lack of sleep! I’m hoping it passes quickly! It’s rewarding to see it all happen though so I’ll hold on to that :) Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801712 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:46:14 +0000 cake2017 2801712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @Becky: Yes! Getting it on monday after work!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801652 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:51:42 +0000 Becky 2801652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I completely forgot about those mesh things. That made a huge difference for us with DD2. She’d bump her head on the slats while wiggling around and the mesh bumper softened that so she wouldn’t wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801649 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:43:18 +0000 gingerbebe 2801649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it happens. They want to crawl or pull up or whatever. We rode it out. We also got those mesh bumpers on the crib slats so they don't get their legs stuck and stuck them in sleep sacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801633 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:06:55 +0000 raspberries 2801633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: I'm not sure where you stand on sleep training, but we basically just stuck with what had worked the first time (just making sure we had a really solid nap/bedtime routine so there was no question that it was time for sleeping, followed by CIO with checks that grew more and more spaced out.) We had another brief period of reinforcing good sleep habits around 9.5 months when he learned to pull himself up in the crib, but couldn't get down very easily.</p> <p>There is just so much going on around 8/9 months development-wise - physically, mentally, emotionally, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801617 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 13:04:17 +0000 Becky 2801617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rode it out both times 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801605 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:43:09 +0000 cake2017 2801605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: During that time what did you do to help not form bad habits etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801586 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:58:03 +0000 raspberries 2801586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One other possibility is the 9 month sleep regression - it hit early for both of my kids at right around 8 months, so that might factor into it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801583 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:52:42 +0000 cake2017 2801583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: Yes he’s doing exactly that. He crawls backwards on the floor and now in the crib. He’s getting his foot stuck at night so i have to get up to help him. Nap today was bad. Down for 10 mins and up in the position. I don’t want him to get overtired so I just drove around and he’s asleep. I plan to stick to our routine until this passes but I just don’t want him to get so tired especially during the day with naps. </p> <p>Hoping this passes quickly! Thanks for posting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801576 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 10:05:56 +0000 maddyz 2801576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids had a week or so of "practice" crawling where they would be half awake and rocking back and forth in a crawling position. LO2 would do this for a very long time at night before either getting upset or going back to sleep. It kinda freaked me out, but the phase passed quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-waking-up-b-hes-about-to-crawl#post-2801553 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 08:58:49 +0000 cake2017 2801553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>LO has been sleeping well. Hes going to be 8 months this month. Now he is waking up quick from naps and night time sleep. Normal? How long? He’s up in the crib in his crawling stance :) .<br /> He’s on the floor all day and getting a lot of play time so I am comfortable with that. </p> <p>Any tips or we just ride this one out???!!???</p> <p>TIA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-crawlers-2#post-2799753 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 14:21:57 +0000 Mrsbells 2799753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: my son would only army crawl and was super "late" to crawl normally and also late to walk unassisted. My daughter was similar. Its hard not to compare but they honestly all do it when they are ready </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-crawlers-2#post-2799746 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 13:54:13 +0000 SeptMomma12 2799746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was very late on all his physical milestones: didn't crawl until almost 2 weeks after his 1st birthday, didn't pull up on anything until almost 15 months and didn't walk until 17+ months. With each one, he showed almost no signs until he did it - with the walking, he literally just walked into the kitchen one afternoon out of nowhere. He qualified for early intervention, but the physical therapist came a few times and said there was nothing wrong with him physically, he just didn't want to do it yet. I was an absolute wreck, but in hindsight, I wish I had just believed her and accepted he was just late.</p> <p>He's 5 now and an incredible natural athlete. No one believes me when I tell them he was so late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-crawlers-2#post-2799734 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 13:15:02 +0000 Clementine12 2799734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Turtle: this is what I most wonder about - can it all happen at once or do the signs normally come first? I wonder if she figures out how to get up in hands and knees if suddenly she'll be crawling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-crawlers-2#post-2799727 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 12:59:35 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2799727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>O crawled at 10 months and walked at 11 and ran at about 12.5. She climbed, pulled up and cruised in the same 24 hours she started crawling. Sometimes things look like they're a long way off and then happen all at once. </p>
