I put off doing any sort of weaning or sleep training because she's probably our last, but it's really starting to impact my ability to function on a day-to-day basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2336837 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 10:32:21 +0000 winniebee 2336837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: my son is the same. goes to bed wide awake for naps and bed at least 50% of the time. so he definitely can put himself to sleep just fine. last night was up at 1 and 4....so that was fun. people still say that weaning was the key....i never really wanted to nurse past 1 but of course now that it's close i'm all "hmmm maybe...." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2336801 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 10:16:52 +0000 bushelandapeck 2336801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input!<br /> @winniebee: I hope it gets better for you soon too! I'm hoping to not need to wean completely but I know that is a possibility. </p> <p> @ElbieKay: the funny thing is that she's able to fall asleep completely unassisted for both nap and bedtime (no nursing, rocking, etc) so I feel like she should be able to put herself back to asleep in the MOTN but it doesn't happen. I will pull back in DH this weekend though, and see if it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2335804 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:00:10 +0000 ElbieKay 2335804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not have a STTN issue but I did have an issue with nursing to sleep. The solution was to have his dad rock him to sleep for a few weeks to break the nursing association. I suggest having your spouse try to soothe the baby in the MOTN for a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2335772 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:40:49 +0000 winniebee 2335772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following. My son will be 1 in 5 weeks and has slept through approximately 5 times as well. He wakes once at night and nurses back to sleep. Still EBF though. I plan to wean at age 1 so I'm hoping that's the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2335766 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:39:26 +0000 BrandNewMom 2335766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 20.5 month old still does not sleep through the night, we're currently in the night weaning process. She used to wake up 5+ times a night, now she wakes up 2-3x! Hoping when she's totally weaned she'll start really sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2335758 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:34:31 +0000 mauxie 2335758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of my babies consistently STTN til 15+ months. Even now, they still wake up on occasion.. My 3 year old more than my now 18 mo old; she says she has bad dreams :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet/page/2#post-2335746 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:27:30 +0000 Mae 2335746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO didn't STTN until 14 mo. Until then she would occasionally need to be rocked to sleep and OFTEN need me to rock her back to sleep overnight. She didn't eat overnight, she would just wake up and need help getting back to sleep. Then one day she decided she didn't want to be rocked anymore. And also started STTN at the same time. So who knows. Babies are weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2335741 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:21:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2335741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: I find that she def can go 4 hrs too, but she can also go 3-3.5! I know, there is no logic with these babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2335731 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:13:50 +0000 bushelandapeck 2335731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: maybe I'm putting her down too late then. We usually go 4 hours between last nap and bed but maybe it should be closer to 3-3.5. Interestingly, she STTN last night with no changes. Although I don't expect it to continue, it certainly was nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2335691 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:49:56 +0000 snowjewelz 2335691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never did any sleep training, and she kinda night weaned herself by 9 months. She is almost 11 months, we follow roughly the same schedule and her 2nd nap does go till 4-4:30 some days, but I find that it doesn't affect her night sleep. Her bed time is 7:30-8 and she will sleep till 6-6:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334191 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:31:48 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Here's hoping! </p> <p>@lawbee11: That's what I did with DS and it just happened so easily that I expected the same this time. I'll keep trying to give her the WCM and hope she starts to like it more! </p> <p>@birdofafeather: We may end up going that route. Good to hear it only took a few nights! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334159 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 14:07:58 +0000 birdofafeather 2334159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actively night weaned at 12.5 months with 3 nights of attended CIO. She STTN after that and we continued to BF until 18.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334140 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:52:05 +0000 hilsy85 2334140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started STTN on his own at 13.5 months. I literally did nothing--it just happened one night. So don't give up hope! We did not day wean when this happened. And he was not drinking cow's milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334138 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:49:53 +0000 lawbee11 2334138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: We started giving her WCM at 12 months and I would nurse in the morning and before bed. Shortly after we cut the MOTN nursing session and DH went in instead of me. She was pissed for a few nights but then stopped waking up finally! Good luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334129 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:45:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: How did you end up weaning? Did you replace it with anything (bottle, milk, etc)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334128 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:44:20 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: What did you add in for extra calories? I do think she is hungry most of the time, as she wants to nurse from both sides. I've tried adding whole milk to her BM bottles on the days I work, but she doesn't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334119 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:39:04 +0000 Kemma 2334119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Miss A is three and wakes more than my seven month old does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334099 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:32:02 +0000 lawbee11 2334099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to wean completely but I did have to night-wean for her to STTN. It was after 12 months for us as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334096 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:30:56 +0000 Anagram 2334096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: some kids are just naturally wakefull at night, or at least that's what I tell myself My 2 year old hasn't had a night feed in over a year and she STILL very rarely sttn. Maybe 20 times total in the last year, the first time was right when she was a year old. I have literally tried every single sleep tip out there, and it still is what it is.</p> <p>So it may not be the night feeding that is the issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334087 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:28:39 +0000 Kemma 2334087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My big girl night weaned and started to STTN at around eighteen months and is still nursing at 3yo so it can be done! In our case it was about making sure A was getting enough calories during the day to ensure she didn't need a night feed (she was dropping daytime nursing sessions but not yet eating enough solids to make up the calories). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334085 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:27:52 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LML: How did you do it? Did you have your SO go in those first nights? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334077 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:24:26 +0000 LML 2334077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in the same position. I night weaned at 16 months, and it worked like magic. I think on the 2nd night of no night feedings, he slept through the night. And every night after. Up until then, he'd been up at least once - and often 2 or 3 times - in the night. I didn't want to night wean either, but now I wish I'd done it sooner, because life is SO much easier on a full night's sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334033 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:03:43 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: I hope it gets better for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334032 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:03:32 +0000 bushelandapeck 2334032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: DD just started walking too, so I was hoping that would help. That's what happened with DS; he started walking and STTN in the same week. I guess I need to push the milk more!</p> <p>@magnolia: I hear ya! DD wakes 1-2x/night and I am just beyond tired at this point. Add that to having a job where I get calls overnight once a week and I am one tired and grumpy mama!</p> <p>@Trailmix: Thanks for the sympathy! I know it will happen on it's own when it's meant to, but I so wish it was now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334023 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:59:46 +0000 MrsRcCar 2334023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E didn't sleep thru the night until 15 months! So I can understand!! I am not sure what changed but it was like it just clicked, however right now sleep is apparently for squares. 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2334008 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:46:50 +0000 Trailmix 2334008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son didn't STTN until 20 months :shocked: !! I weaned at 12 months and that helped a lot. I also do not let him nap past 4pm but that's for early morning wake-ups, not MOTN. I did CIO many, many times and still nothing worked. He did not do it until he was ready. And I was so tired for so long. Commiseration, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2333955 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:20:34 +0000 Truth Bombs 2333955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO didn't regularly STTN until she weaned around 14 months. Sending my husband in for night wake ups never worked. As soon as he walked in door she would cry "nnoooo mamamamamamamama" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2333954 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:19:57 +0000 gingerbebe 2333954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend EBFed and she said her son never STTN until he was walking and weaned to cow's milk, although he got bottles of BM at daycare until her stash was out and I think she let him quickie nurse for bedtime. Before that he was up twice a night to nurse. Everything solidified into a rock solid schedule once he was on one nap. She thinks it was just an EBF thing because it metabolizes faster? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-month-old-not-sttn-yet#post-2333937 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 12:12:13 +0000 magnolia 2333937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following... my almost 11 mo wakes several times at night. I'm on night 2 of trying to night wean. It's not going well though. So tired. </p>
