I've ignored for more than an hour before. 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771932 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 14:14:52 +0000 SteelerGirl 2771932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with ignoring her. Your child will learn that once she goes in her crib, she doesn't come out until morning (you should set a time up to 12 hours after her bedtime). It's important to continually enforce this message (unless sick or hurt of course). Better for her to learn this lesson before she can climb out herself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771928 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 14:07:02 +0000 alphagam84 2771928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this with my daughter and it was brutal. She's 22 months now and she has really only started "sleeping in" 'til 6:30-7 in the last month. Before that we would ignore her until 6. 6 or after and one of us would go get her and be up for the day while the other person got to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771580 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 08:22:51 +0000 gotkimchi 2771580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: When I get him I always offer milk - he'll take one sip and throw it and then just put his head down on me. He def just wants me to hold him/not be in his crib </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771563 Tue, 05 Sep 2017 07:28:03 +0000 looch 2771563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: Have you ruled out feeding him at the wakeup? If you do, maybe he'd sleep longer?</p> <p>I know you're supposed to treat that wakeup like it's a wakeup from nighttime sleep, but I never could. I would intervene, by either holding or feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771538 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 20:12:22 +0000 ShootingStar 2771538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: Yeah I'd let it go until it's time to get up. If you can't do that, try letting it go for 15-20 minutes. There have been times when DD woke up and started crying and I'd turn off the monitor and fall back to sleep. I'd wake an hour or so later and turn it back on and see that she had settled down. </p> <p>I've just learned with my kids that I don't really help them finback to sleep. All I do is distract them and keep them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771532 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 19:31:21 +0000 gotkimchi 2771532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: ugh I know it happened with my daughter and I handled it wrong because she was up early forever. I'm trying to avoid that again :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771528 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 19:25:58 +0000 pachamama 2771528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: we had this at that age and it was awful. We kept his bedtime nice and early like 715, and ignore him til about 530, lately 615!. Also, shockingly, I would tell him "Go to sleep, honey" through the monitor and somehow he lays right down and usually falls asleep. I think they do that at daycare.<br /> But don't let him get up before 530 or so. It's too early. I learned the hard way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771525 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 19:18:06 +0000 gotkimchi 2771525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: like until 6? And then if he's not asleep get him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771521 Mon, 04 Sep 2017 19:09:41 +0000 ShootingStar 2771521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would completely ignore it and let him CIO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-mo-old-early-waking#post-2771427 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 19:03:23 +0000 gotkimchi 2771427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long would you let your 15 mo old cio at 4am? He often wakes around 4-4:30 and I have been holding him after that to sleep but it's no longer working. I need him to stay in crib but he's resistant to going to sleep alone at that hour. How long should I leave him or how should I respond? </p>
