She's 7 months so I was trying to get her withing that "ideal" window ... But no such luck. Each time shed self soothe and fall asleep, it would only last for 5-10 minutes before she was crying again. I could only take so much :(<br /> @sotofamilia: I'm a teacher so I go back to work full time in a couple weeks ... I totally know what you mean about looking at it as extra/special time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968648 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 08:17:50 +0000 hilsy85 968648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, we failed at 5 months, but had success at 6.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968586 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 07:14:59 +0000 SleepyMonkey 968586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We failed twice at 3 mos and 4 mos before it took at 6 mos! Don't feel bad. Just try again in a month or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968548 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 06:39:01 +0000 IcebergMom 968548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first attempt flopped. Two weeks later- perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968510 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 06:11:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 968510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I failed miserably the first attempt. I know you're probably desperate to get some sleep, but try again in a month or so and it will be so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968505 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 05:57:15 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 968505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first attempt at 4 months failed miserably! It was much more successful at 6.5 months, especially when I realized I could sub nursing with a few minutes of bouncing (to drowsy not asleep) before putting him in his crib.try again later, you'll get there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968499 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 04:52:38 +0000 sotofamilia 968499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rrachael: haha same here! We tried for about five minutes to sleep train and couldn't stand it - I figured he (and us!) just isn't ready yet! </p> <p>And now that I'm working full-time, I actually love nursing him to sleep - it's something that no one else can provide. I'll probably pay for it later, lol, but I feel like most parenting decisions have consequences, it's just what you feel the most comfortable doing for your kid. </p> <p>Anyway, everything will work out, enjoy your sweet baby! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968496 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 04:04:05 +0000 loveisstrange 968496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's probably just not ready yet. :) Try again in a month or so and see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968436 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 00:32:24 +0000 Kemma 968436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rrachael: don't sweat it Mama, some babies just don't take to CIO so just enjoy the sweet baby snuggles for now :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968432 Sat, 27 Jul 2013 00:22:48 +0000 Mrs. Train 968432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I failed a couple of attempts too. Eventually DH took over! Don't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cio-fail#post-968344 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 22:17:54 +0000 rrachael 968344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just nursed dd to sleep ... after four nights of {attempting} to let her CIO. I guess I should just resign to being her soothie for a couple more months... :P </p>
