After CIO, he sleeps well for us. When we went out on a date last weekend, LO flipped out on my parents. I'm nervous about the flip out because he's staying with my parents for a few days after Christmas. They're going to have to CIO with him if that happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1266160 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 19:19:10 +0000 Elderberrygin 1266160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daycare regularly gets 2 hour naps out of her. The only time she's ever slept that long for me she had a cold. But she's still a stinker about actually going to sleep for them. I felt so vindicated when her teacher said, "Wow, she really won't be rocked to sleep, huh?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1266082 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 17:43:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 1266082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: yeah it's not for everyone but it worked for us. Happy to answer any specific questions but I think you just have to know your baby best :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1266069 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 17:31:33 +0000 illumina 1266069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: thanks for sharing. I'm glad things have gotten better for you :) Dh and I agreed we are going to train around 4mths--because she can suck her thumb and every morning when we get her her thumb is in. I think she just relies on us to help her. I hated the idea of CIO but I'm coming around to it seeing as we effectively CIO in the car anyway through having no choice and I can just ignore it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1266027 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 17:06:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 1266027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: we had to let her CIO. We started at bedtime one night where NOTHING was working- she didn't fall asleep nursing, rocking and bouncing wasn't doing it. It was not the best way to go about it at all and I was in tears too. BUT, after that, we started being able to put her down awake at night and she would rarely fuss for more than 15-20 minutes, never cried more than five. We continues rocking or nursing to sleep for naps for another couple of weeks after a few failed attempts at putting her down awake for naps, then last weekend we tried again and it worked. I think she was just ready for it, even though she is definitely younger than I thought I would ever sleep train. (4 months last week). It's been life changing. </p> <p>She still wakes up at night and I nurse to sleep usually, but if she wakes up and doesn't seem hungry and is fussy but not crying, I can let her go and she eventually puts herself back to sleep. I am hoping that it makes our current 4 month regression easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1266010 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 16:55:36 +0000 illumina 1266010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that's great she goes down awake now! Can I ask how you went about that? We don't nurse to sleep--but we sit with her helping her calm enough to get her thumb in her mouth and keep it there long enough to sleep. Then once she's out we transfer her. I've been able to get her in the cot awake and she sorts herself out maybe like once a week--but I don't do any thing different the times it doesn't work :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1265990 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 16:41:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1265990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She used to. I think but had to do with nursing to sleep and wanting to stay close to me and my chest for comfort, where he wasn't as great if a draw. When we started putting her down awake he had to do it for the first week or two. Now either of us can put her down at night. </p> <p>E seems to have lost his skills though, considering he just out her down for a nap and was being all jokey ad loud with her. I have to remind him to be quiet and boring or she won't sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1265933 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 16:19:44 +0000 Freckles 1265933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She goes down much faster for DH. She likes to babble and talk to me, whereas with DH she just goes down super quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1265926 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 16:16:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 1265926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She naps better at daycare, but sleeps best at night at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-go-to-sleep-so-much-better-for-everyone-else#post-1265912 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 16:12:09 +0000 illumina 1265912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does. Dh always gets her down for the night in 20mins max--whereas it's been 1.5hrs for me and she's still not asleep :( He's out for dinner and I'm on my own in a hotel and trying to keep her as quiet as possible and it's so frustrating! We were here last night too and she went down much much quicker!</p> <p>I do everything he does and nothing works :( </p>
