We just had DD's 4 month dr appt and my husband asked about when she should sleep through the night and our dr said that since she's so skinny (12 lbs 10 oz) she isn't at the weight to really do so. She said when DD is 15 pounds it should happen. Currently she goes down around 8, gets a dream feed around 11 or 12, wakes around 3 to eat, and then is fine until 7:30 or 8am. She sleeps in her own room and we just get her as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-and-sttn#post-2471386 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:12:02 +0000 Dahlia 2471386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were in a similar situation. Even though she fell asleep by herself starting around 4 months, she'd still wake up 5+ times a night and want to nurse back to sleep. I would bring her into bed around 4 or 5 to get a little sleep. Around 6 months we finally did some controlled crying and within four nights she was sleeping 7-7 with one wakeup to nurse around 3. Last night at 7.5 months she STTN completely for the first time ever! I HATED sleep training, but we are all so much happier now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-and-sttn#post-2471377 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:07:21 +0000 blackbird 2471377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was 6 months old T just turned 9 months and started STTN (and is night weaned.

She didn't drop that feeding (even though we tried to night wean) until 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-and-sttn#post-2471351 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:53:03 +0000 JoJoGirl 2471351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd HIGHLY recommend reading the blog <a href="http://www.preciouslittlesleep.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.preciouslittlesleep.com</a>, especially the "bedtime is everything" post (<a href="https://www.preciouslittlesleep.com/bedtime/" rel="nofollow">https://www.preciouslittlesleep.com/bedtime/</a>) - how your LO falls asleep determines what happens the rest of the night. The FB group is awesome and you can troubleshoot your specific situation there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-and-sttn#post-2471350 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:52:27 +0000 schubr03 2471350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-weening-and-sttn-for-a-7-month-old" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-weening-and-sttn-for-a-7-month-old</a></p> <p>I also wanted to share this thread. It's one I started, but a lot of other members posted a lot of great advice for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-and-sttn#post-2471347 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:50:51 +0000 schubr03 2471347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey mama! I know what you're going through! I had this with my little too. Our biggest thing that we needed to do was get her to be able to fall asleep on her own. I used the CIO method, but you may want to do some research to see what method would be best for you. After she figured out how to soothe herself and put herself to sleep, she now wakes only once a night for a feeding (she is exclusively breast fed). Good luck to you! I know it is exhausting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bedtime-and-sttn#post-2471335 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:47:24 +0000 paigeface 2471335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi lovelies,</p> <p>LO is 6 months in just a few days and is still not STTN. He used to sleep pretty much all night until 4 months hit, and then that went bye bye. :crying:</p> <p>Anyways, total bad mom move but I am so exhausted from going in there about 3x times per night I finally cave and end up bringing him to our room with us (basinet by bed) where he sleeps for 2 hours until 6:00am for first bottle. We put him down at 6:45pm every night and he'll sleep until 10:30pm - 11:30pm and then he starts to stir and cry. I let him cry for a little bit then go in and soothe and then an hour or two later the whole process starts again. I reallllllly don't want to start any more bad habits since he'll be 6 months and I hear its harder to break. Is there any advice anyone can give? When did your little ones start STTN? Mom and dad really don't want to share our room with him anymore. :heart: </p>
