Honestly I don't know if I would consider what we do CIO because he never cried all that much - maybe a few minutes? Then fuss for a few....we haven't attempted anything in the middle of the night though....just bedtime and naps. </p> <p>Sorry : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365770 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 08:22:59 +0000 regberadaisy 365770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: we have in a moment of desperation. She basically cries bloody murder. Sigh. I'm starting to wonder if she will ever fall asleep on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365712 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 07:20:32 +0000 winniebee 365712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You mentioned she wakes when you put her down....have you tried putting her down awake and letting her fall asleep on her own? Bedtime changed so drastically for us once we let him learn how to fall asleep. We didn't sleep train per se, but we do let him cry for a little bit or fuss before he falls asleep and now he can put himself to sleep with just a little fussing whereas before he needed a bottle or paci to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365687 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 06:28:48 +0000 Mrs.M57 365687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yep we do our same bedtime routine and she falls right to sleep. Just doesn't stay asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365535 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 22:25:13 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 365535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that wonder week hit sleep hard over hear too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365534 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 22:23:08 +0000 Freckles 365534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also went through a sleep regression a little after 6 months 2 weeks ago! She would NOT fall asleep! Then her naps when down the crapper. She would sometimes wake up after an hour after putting her to sleep. It was not fun. I kept thinking overtired? undertired? too many naps? too little naps?</p> <p>We ended up having to sleep train via modified CIO again. It took a little longer, around 5 days. But she's back to normal, with the exception of her now waking up 2x at night instead of her usual 1x. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365521 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 22:08:42 +0000 pinkcupcake 365521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L went through an awful sleep regression at 6 months that lasted until we finally sleep trained a few weeks ago at 7.5 months. I think it had to do with the fact that she was learning and developing so much during that time (crawling, sitting up, etc). She woke up crying every 2 or 3 hours. I just consoled her each time as best as I could and nursed her to sleep, but after 6 weeks it wore me out so I didn't get her when she up woke up... and then she started sleeping through the night again! </p> <p>Unfortunately, that only lasted 2 weeks. I think she's going through something else right now (teething, perhaps?) because once again, she's up 2 or 3 times each night. Le sigh. </p> <p>If it's not one, it's another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365339 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:43:35 +0000 cvbee 365339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Well, my first night of it was after the drive-home from my interview, so that was a messed-up bedtime and routine. The 2nd night I did 'the usual'. The 3rd night I tried a later bedtime, and maybe skipped bath? Now I can't remember. And tonight I went back to 'the usual'. And it is a 'bad night' again already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365334 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:37:52 +0000 regberadaisy 365334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: @Mrs.M57: are you still doing bedtime routine at the same time then and just dealing with it if she wakes back up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365320 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:23:42 +0000 Mrs.M57 365320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lily is doing the same! I put her down at 7-7:30ish she's up after an hour like it was a nap, then down again somewhere between 9:30-10! These crazy babes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365318 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:20:48 +0000 cvbee 365318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me too!<br /> and rainbowsprinkles too!</p> <p>And since you and I had our due dates within days of each other, this is a possibilty and I like what Runsyellowlites just wrote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365302 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 19:10:02 +0000 runsyellowlites 365302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a wonder week at week 26 starting as early as week 19. Mental leap 5 is aparently a big one. It should pass soon. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-month-sleep-regression#post-365280 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:59:54 +0000 regberadaisy 365280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there such a thing??? All this past week she has been treating bedtime like a nap. The instant I put her in the crib she wakes up fussing. After 2-3 tries I just bring her back out so I don't get too frustrated. And she's still fine, not cranky till about 9 which is about 2 hrs after I bring her out. And that's usually how long she goes between naps.</p> <p>Is there such a thing as a 6 month sleep regression? Is there a wonder week at 25 or 26? I didn't think so.<br /> Can my baby be pushing back her own bedtime?? </p>
