I never want to announce anything exciting about my LO's sleep patterns in fear that he'll change things up on me...again!</p> <p>@winniebee: a month of good naps is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-426931 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 14:07:25 +0000 mrbee 426931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: only when it comes to baby and toddler sleep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-426921 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 13:55:33 +0000 winniebee 426921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Hahah I know.

CUE IN CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406518 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:57:16 +0000 winniebee 406518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Indeed there is! Though, Tyler now only usually sleeps 10 hours at night and does wake up at least once....and last night 3 times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406514 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:55:01 +0000 MsMini 406514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I am still up 2-3 times per night (or 5 times the other night with teething) so there is always a trade off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406509 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:53:58 +0000 winniebee 406509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Thanks : ) I have been very jealous of your awesome napper all this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406504 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:51:59 +0000 MsMini 406504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is great news! I have really felt for you all this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406481 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:43:47 +0000 winniebee 406481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: That's awesome! He STTN (no feeds) usually once a week. I'm hoping he drops it on his own soon.</p> <p>@mrs.wagon: after the self-soothe, he fell back asleep for another 1.5 hours....for a 2 hour nap!</p> <p>@BabyBruins: I'm hoping to switch from 3 to 2 soon, too. Today he took a 1 hour morning nap, then a 2 hour afternoon nap then has been sleeping for about 30 minutes (it's 3:45) but I'm not sure if it will be possible soon since he usually only sleeps 10 hours at night (leaving 14 hours during the day). Everyone said just to hang in there and he would outgrow it around 6 months. I didn't believe it, but it looks like it's happening..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406417 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:16:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 406417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: yup. FREAK. OUT. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406416 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:16:09 +0000 banana 406416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: awwww. she freaked out?? So cute but so sad at the same time!! Yeah, maybe she's not ready for not being swaddled yet. Have you tried swaddling with one arm out so that she can find her hand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406403 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:13:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 406403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: that's awesome!! LMW is still not really finding her hand... well, she's just not ready to be not swaddled yet. We tried the tummy nap thing which worked for her first nap for 45 mins, then she stirred then FREAKED OUT. Next nap was a total fail-- she fell asleep in my arms then slept for 10 mins on her tummy, then fREAKED OUT. I rocked her to sleep again, 10 mins later FREAK OUT. She tried to suck on her hand but wasn't soothed enough by it. Gah. I don't think she's ready yet :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406395 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:11:45 +0000 banana 406395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Mannnn. I hope it's not a fluke!!!!!! Every night, I think "ok pleeeeease don't wake up tonight. find your hand! find your hand!" haha. Sometimes when she stirs in the middle of the night, I stick her hand in her mouth. hahaha. It works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406390 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:10:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 406390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: so JELLY!!! ;D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406182 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:50:23 +0000 banana 406182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!!!!!! Hope he continues on this awesome nap pattern!!!! My DD started consistently SSTN starting last week and it's AWESOME. The biggest factor was her ability to self soothe, which helps her fall back asleep on her own. She still wakes up a few times at night, but I let her find her hand and she just goes back to sleep on her own. Looks like your LO is doing the same! Yiippee!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406147 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:35:46 +0000 BabyBruins 406147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: six months was the changing point for my little guy too. I think it was a combo sleep training and just being older, but he went from me having to hold him for all of his naps to sleeping 1 hour + in his own in his crib. We switched from 3 to 2 naps around this time also.<br /> Yay for sleep progress!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406144 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:34:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 406144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oooooooooh falling back asleep on their own... that's the gold at the end of the rainbow... the light at the end of the tunnel... eeeee!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406106 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 13:01:31 +0000 Freckles 406106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!!! I'm glad you're finally getting naps longer than 30 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406086 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:50:32 +0000 littlek 406086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's great! Normally crying is the beginning of the end for us. I always hope he will self soothe and fall back asleep but no dice so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-406025 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 11:56:09 +0000 winniebee 406025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I feel like every time I think I have *ish figured out it changes anyways, so why even bother, LOL?</p> <p>Something interesting happened today. He woke up crying after 30 minutes and I left him there and after 5 minutes of pretty hysterical crying he fell back asleep and has been sleeping for 30 more minutes. I tried this many times in the past and he used to just keep crying. Amen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-405745 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 09:28:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 405745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oh and I swear, LMW is the opposite of what is supposed to happen in babies. The days when we are out and about and keep her up for more than 2 hours between horrible naps (naps while in motion in the carrier or car or stroller that only last 30 mins, or sometimes even 10 mins) she ends up sleeping like crazy. The past 2 weeks she's taken HOURS to go down at bedtime, finally being down for good around 8:30 or 9pm and sleeping for about 6 hours. Last night after a crazy day out and about and a later bedtime, she was down for good at 7:30pm and slept for 9.5 hours!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-405742 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 09:26:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 405742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tooooooootally knocking on wood and holding my breath for you. Yayyyyy big T, making mama so proud with the longer naps!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-405741 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 09:26:14 +0000 mediagirl 405741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice job, T and Mom!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-405684 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:36:39 +0000 winniebee 405684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamajaja: I don't think he's overtired....this morning he was up for 2.5 hours before his morning nap and wasn't fussy at all. I think there will still be some trial and error here (as yesterday his longest nap was from 3:15-4:45) but hopefully within the next few weeks a good schedule will emerge. The past few days he has taken 3 naps which is better than what he was doing when we were in the 30 minute nap trenches (4-5 naps a day!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-404022 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 13:04:14 +0000 mamajaja 404022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fingers crossed for you! We are going through the EXACT same thing, LO naps almost identical to yours. I just put her down actually for her first nap, here's hoping it's longer than 30 min!</p> <p>So lengthening your LO's awake time didn't make him overtired? I think I've been so worried about making her overtired I keep her awake times pretty short these days. Will have to try your method soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-403990 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 12:21:09 +0000 Running Elley 403990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fingers crossed!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blowing-my-mind#post-403988 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 12:19:11 +0000 lawbee11 403988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome!!
