I totally think we should put things on pause but DH and I are dead-locked on this matter. LO still is a bit under the weather and bedtime has been a struggle. Any advice on what to say to DH to help convince him that we should hold off for now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-930432 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:51:18 +0000 Katrocap 930432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our DS has a cold now and last night woke up 6 times (ugh!!!). So I've been getting up and giving him the extra attention and affection he needs while sick. I agree with the rest of the lot: hold off until LO's feeling better. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-930369 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 14:31:26 +0000 Lindsay05 930369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I agree, hold off till feeling better. We did sleep training and LO will fight it when she is sick. When children are sick they need to be comforted and not trained IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-930364 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 14:25:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 930364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of CIO, but I can't imagine doing it with a baby who had true needs from a cold on top of everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-930289 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 13:15:58 +0000 loveisstrange 930289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree also, take a break until he gets better. :( Poor guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-930088 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:58:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 930088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the pps . . . and would postpone the ST until LO feels better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-930069 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:41:12 +0000 SleepyMonkey 930069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i probably wouldn't...when they are sick, i think they need more soothing and cuddles! i know i need more when i'm sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-929988 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 09:26:26 +0000 betsyboop 929988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't during sickness, especially with a fever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-929819 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:39:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 929819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take a break. If he for some reason regresses badly afterward, at least you're only a couple days in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-929817 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:36:50 +0000 matador84 929817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely wouldn't st while LO is sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-929801 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:18:08 +0000 NovBaby1112 929801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely put the sleep training on hold until LO is feeling better/doesn't have a fever. When babies are sick they sometimes need extra snuggles and what not, and even if I knew lo was fed, clean, and just needed to go to sleep- if she was crying I wouldn't know whether it was just because she was learning how to fall asleep on own or if it was because she was feeling horrible and needed me. I imagine if he is sick, sleep might be rough for a few days anyways and he might regress a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-929749 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 03:26:55 +0000 mrbee 929749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: even if already trained, the kids would often regress when sick!<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/07/11/is-your-little-one-a-good-sleeper-did-you-sleep-train/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/07/11/is-your-little-one-a-good-sleeper-did-you-sleep-train/</a></p> <p>I personally wouldn't sleep train a baby with a fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/continue-to-sleep-train-while-lo-is-sick#post-929747 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 03:09:11 +0000 Pink Champagne 929747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started doing Sleep Sense the other night. Things were going ok for the first two nights, but now LO is sick with a fever (~102) and DH thinks we should continue to sleep train as though nothing happened. It includes some CIO, although you're allowed to reassure them and stay in the room.<br /> I think we should stop until LO is better( DH disagrees. It's hard enough to let LO cry without adding in that he probably feels like crap. What do you all think? </p>
