Why won't these kiddos STTN already?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425667 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 10:30:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2425667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am absolutely no help at all :meh: I feel like everything is a phase and we pretty much allow all sleep crutches (lol) and ** knock on wood ** K mostly falls asleep by herself and STTN! I always get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425443 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 03:47:09 +0000 Pumuckl 2425443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yep, my DD (12m) has always gone down with no nursing and wide awake and until recently woke up once or twice at night. Now if she doesn't eat or drink enough or is sick she still wakes. She'll STTN otherwise. The times she wakes to eat (nurse) she'll really eat big amounts. So for now I just roll with it and figure she'll stop soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425372 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 23:04:46 +0000 birdofafeather 2425372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: DD1 went to sleep on her own around 4-5 months once she found her fingers. she still woke up almost every night until we had to CIO with checks at 12.5 months to night wean. after we did, she STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425360 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:45:55 +0000 Miss Ariel 2425360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>K was waking around 5 or 6, but lately it's been 4:30. When she wakes I'll nurse her and bring her back to bed with us for the last hour or so.</p> <p>She actually started doing something similar for naps and will wake up after 20 mins, but she'll fall asleep with us on the couch for another hour. </p> <p>Basically we've fallen into a trap where when she wakes up she refuses to go back to sleep on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425330 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:08:27 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2425330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sort of waited it out, sort of did CIO for that last stubborn wake up. I gave her a solid 10-15 minutes of crying before I went in to get her, and often she would fall back to sleep in the meantime. But she dropped that last waking for good at about 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425278 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:24:02 +0000 winniebee 2425278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: good for you!!!last week I let him cry twice once was for at least 30 mins and he did sleep all night. I will have to do it again tonight (we were away this weekend and one night he slept through one night cried at 330 and we were in a hotel and I couldn't let him cry). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425273 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:22:22 +0000 regberadaisy 2425273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: haha last night was at 9. The time before was 2-3x a night for about 2 weeks?...anywhere from 9pm - 4am...She wakes up around 4am often and I always ignore her unless she doesn't stop after 15 minutes.</p> <p>It is very easy for me to let her cry MOTN because I'm tired, half asleep, and cranky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425271 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:20:58 +0000 winniebee 2425271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ugh. See I find it easier to let him cry before midnight. I know his needs are met. Something about 3-4 am I think "oh man he needs me". Or oh man I just want to go back to sleep and don't want to let him cry so I can sleep. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425268 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:19:37 +0000 winniebee 2425268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: my first didn't take one either so this is foreign territory!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425267 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:19:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2425267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A was doing that. I needed to just cut it off and let her CIO. She started STTN again and last night woke up an hour after falling aslee crying hysterically. I went in to console her thinking something was wrong, poop, etc. Nada. She's crying right now and I've been letting her go for almost 20 minutes. She's still screaming so I might go in soon.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425258 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:13:05 +0000 knittylady 2425258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 16 month old is doing the same thing.

But something to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425254 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:12:01 +0000 Jess1483 2425254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: even if he replaces himself, it may still be enough to wake him? I'm not sure. Neither of my boys really took a paci, but I can imagine it being disorienting to fall asleep with one in and wake up without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425253 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:11:31 +0000 winniebee 2425253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: it would be painful, lol. I was going to let him have it until closer to age 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425251 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:11:26 +0000 FaithFertility 2425251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: awwww sweet boy! Well sounds like he just wants some mommy cuddles :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425249 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:10:50 +0000 Jess1483 2425249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How painful do you think it would be to drop the paci? I'd try that and see if it improves. If not, yeah, I'd probably CIO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425246 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:09:54 +0000 winniebee 2425246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: he does...

When I go in MOTN he usually has one in his mouth and is holding one too :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425242 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:08:58 +0000 Jess1483 2425242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider a paci a sleep prop. Unless he can find and replace in the middle of the night all on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425179 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:45:30 +0000 FaithFertility 2425179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea about paci as they are foreign territory but will he take it MOTN to go back down?!<br /> Is it in all night?!<br /> Maybe he needs it as a sleep que?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425177 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:45:02 +0000 winniebee 2425177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: by sleep crutches I mean rocking, nursing or a bottle, or laying with your child. Interesting. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425161 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:40:28 +0000 Mae 2425161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me..? Maybe? I'm not quite sure what you mean by sleep crutches. My LO hasn't eaten MOTN since she was 2 months old. And as of 6 mo she went to bed without being rocked or anything. Even so, from 6-10 mo or so she was up a lot. Like anywhere from 2-6 times/night. From 10-14 mo she was MOSTLY only waking once/night, around 4:30-5am. Most nights she would need rocked back to sleep at that point if I wanted her to go back to sleep. </p> <p>Then at 14 mo she decided she didn't want to be rocked anymore. I'd try and shed just try and wiggle away. So the next night we let her CIO motn (bc I don't know what else to do if she wouldn't let us rock her anymore). Took like 40 min of on/off crying and she fell asleep. Next night she woke and cried maybe 10 min on/off. Ever since she has still often woken once or twice/night but she puts herself back to sleep now unless she is sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-kid-that-goes-to-bed-with-no-sleep-crutches-but-still-wakes#post-2425148 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 20:35:20 +0000 winniebee 2425148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 13 months and goes to bed without a peep. We just do bath, jamies, sleep sack, book, cuddles and song, white noise, paci. But he still wakes up at night. We are down to nursing once a day (and previously it was first thing in the morning / early morning 5:30 am.....and admittedly I do it in hopes that he will go back to sleep) and now that once a day is MOTN because he is so stubborn. He goes down for naps wide awake too, and goes to sleep within 15 mins of babbling or very mild fussing. Takes normal naps. He sleeps through the night occasionally (did it for 3 weeks starting at 12 months) but the last few weeks has been waking most nights. </p> <p>Do you think I need to just do flat out CIO at this point? Ferber? </p>
