Those other two nights are usually wakeups where he needs to be cuddled. I think he's having a bit of separation anxiety lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1178033 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 06:45:32 +0000 mediagirl 1178033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keppa: @googly-eyes: @StbHisMrs: @Mrs. Twine: like 3 times total. And those times were probably when we were too sick to wake up and hear her cry. :)</p> <p>It's horrible. We have a 16.5 month old who will wake 1-2x/night. Last night, she woke up at 10:30 and finally went back to sleep at midnight. She will trick me into thinking she is falling back to sleep and as soon as I move to leave her room WHAMMO - she's up yelling.</p> <p>The fake cry is the worst. We have started trying to ignore that...we TRY to only go to her when she escalates. On average, she wakes twice a night. She usually needs to nurse at one of those times. My husband keeps asking when we are going to sleep train. I keep ignoring him... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1178030 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 06:42:31 +0000 looch 1178030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, no. But he's not the best sleeper in the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1178026 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 06:40:23 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1178026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since he quit his paci and started teething at 10 months my now 13.5 month old has not been sttn consistently. He usually has 3-5 wake ups. Most of them brief so long as I nurse him. He wakes up and just fusses but if I don't do something he will then sit up and start cryog hysterically. We cosleep with his crib sidecarred so he is always right next to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177968 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:41:56 +0000 StbHisMrs 1177968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 2 years old no she doesn't. She's always been a bad sleeper though, there may have been a month or 2 where she did STTN but certainly not now. She wakes up between 3 &amp; 4 consistently, she "fake cries" and yells, I go in make sure she has everything and give her water, then I leave snd let her be. Eventually she falls back to sleep. *yawn* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177967 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 03:23:01 +0000 Kemma 1177967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess my wee girl counts as a toddler now she's twelve months old and walking everywhere!</p> <p>Miss A has slept through the night a handful of times but she is usually up to nurse once or twice and more often than not I end up in bed with her. The last week has been particularly tough as she's cutting eight (8!) teeth at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177867 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 23:03:26 +0000 Penny Lane 1177867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @googly-eyes: yeah, i tried the "put down when drowsy" thing when he was a newborn, and every now and then even up til now. it hasn't worked ONCE. i stressed myself out over it for months, until i realised it didn't matter! i didn't (don't!) mind staying with him til he's asleep right now and he sleeps just fine after that. sometimes it can take an hour for him to be asleep, but i've slowly learnt to be okay with that, haha :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177859 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:54:31 +0000 immabeetoo 1177859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: LO is younger than yours but my mom said I didn't STTN until I was about 3 :/she said she just ignored me.. And i often fell asleep against the door wiggling my hand under it.It's rough being the third kid ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177846 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:33:40 +0000 Freckles 1177846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I pat LO until she falls asleep. I can't leave the room until she has fallen asleep, but luckily it doesn't take too long (15 minutes). LO is 18.5 months and STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177844 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:30:52 +0000 googly-eyes 1177844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Thank you!! If dd is crying and I don't go to her she just gets p'd!!! She doesn't really cry, she screams, and will even vomit. :( She does seem to prefer sleeping in her crib but she just wants us to be there til she's REALLY out. I just keep feeling like I am doing something wrong as the months go by and things haven't sorted themselves out (despite a schedule, bedtime routine, etc..) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177842 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:30:14 +0000 rachiecakes 1177842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: not always. I'll just bring him to bed with me because I know he'll sleep longer. He doesn't always get up, but he's restless sometimes and I'm scared to leave him.</p> <p>Friday night we stayed at a friends house, I went to a concert while her ILs watched our boys. DS was up until 2am and still only slept until 8am. Ugh, he's just.like.me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177837 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:25:52 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1177837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: Ellie fell asleep nursing every night until she was 5. 5!!!! Now she falls asleep independently no differently than her peers. And she was the one who wanted to do it that way. There's lots of ways to get there, but you will. :) Lorelei doesn't STTN at 19 months, either. I don't mind because we still bed-share part of the night. The one night she slept until 5:30 or so Mr. T laughed at me because I went in there to check on her (she was just fine) and then went back to our room to tell him I was going to lay down with her. I'm just not ready for her to be a big kid yet, I guess. Though I did the same thing with Ellie. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177832 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:17:37 +0000 googly-eyes 1177832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Yay another that helps lo fall asleep! I was starting to think I was the only one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177829 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:15:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 1177829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: my LO is 16 months and I still rock her to sleep every night. I've never been able to put her down drowsy and have her fall asleep - from newborn until now, doing that just makes her ragey mad and wide awake. So I rock her, and we all get to STTN! :)</p> <p>LO STTN unless she is sick. If she doesn't STTN, it's a clear sign that something is off with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177825 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:11:31 +0000 lizzywiz 1177825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keppa: No kidding! We recently has a week of 'better' nights and I felt like a new person,...or rather, the person I used to be before full time work and no sleep turned me into a gritchy wench! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177824 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:10:13 +0000 googly-eyes 1177824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Penny Lane: I don't think I really buy the idea that they can't be helped to fall asleep initially. I think the majority of older infants do get some help. Which is why I'm hesitant to sleep train, if that's even possible anymore. Plus we are going to move into a new place in a couple months. Dd used to do that with the pacis but now she sleeps lightly, getting up to check if I'm still there every now and then for the first hour or so. Luckily sometimes I can just put her in bed with me and she'll stay down the rest of the night, but she doesn't always sleep well with me and when dh is home it gets really crowded and I can't really sleep when we're all in bed. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177701 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 20:51:13 +0000 Penny Lane 1177701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO is almost 15 months, and I say he STTN. he wakes up maybe once or twice, needing a paci replaced when he can't find it (normally because it's somehow fallen INSIDE his sleep sack O_o) which takes me all of 90 seconds to do, so i don't really count those as wake ups.</p> <p>he will wake up and take up to an hour to get back down if he's sick or teething.</p> <p>he STTN pretty consistently since 3 or 4 months old? we had a little regression around 8 months, but that resolved itself within a month or 2</p> <p>ETA: i feel like i should disclose that i still hold him until he is asleep every night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177656 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 20:28:01 +0000 skibobrown 1177656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 18 month old does consistently sleep through the night, but she sometimes wakes crying if she can't find her pacifier. She sleeps with 4 of them in bed with her, but they often fall out of the crib or just get out of reach.... and then we have to get up and go find one for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177648 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 20:24:55 +0000 googly-eyes 1177648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: with no regressions ever?</p> <p>@chopsuey: mine started early (8h before 4m) too and we got to 11h averages with maybe a paci replacement and thats it..and it was like once separation anxiety hit she stopped being able to fall asleep without us and aside from sleep training idk what to do! Maybe 18m will be the magic age for us too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177609 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:57:56 +0000 chopsuey 1177609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine both started sttn early on. Dd had crap sleep as soon as she learned to crawl though. 9-18 months was painful since she was on a floor bed.<br /> From 18 mos-now she sttn 6:30-6:30(7) roughly. Every once in a while she wakes to pee or drink water.<br /> DS has been sttn since he was.. 8 weeks old? (10 hr stretches) now he sleeps 6-6:30. On occasion he'll wake once and I just nurse him and put him back down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177596 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:54:04 +0000 littlek 1177596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: LO started STTN consistently around 5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177594 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:53:39 +0000 MrsF 1177594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M (13 months) STTN unless she's sick or teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177588 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:51:00 +0000 Rubies 1177588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter started sleeping 12+ hours straight starting at 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177551 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 19:27:49 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 1177551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We have an almost 15mo who doesn't STTN. But then again, he never has...so not much new there :/<br /> It's amazing to me when I think about the fact that I haven't had more than a couple of full nights of sleep for almost 15 months now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177362 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 17:02:30 +0000 sarac 1177362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. She goes through phases of mostly sleepthing through, then swings to mostly not. If she wakes, she usually wants water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177359 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 16:49:37 +0000 Mamasig 1177359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 month old STTN maybe about 80% of the time and he sleeps with me and my husband. Even on nights he STTN he is still a very restless sleeper. His sleep got crappy around 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177351 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 16:43:26 +0000 sandy 1177351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 23 months and STTN </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-sttn-1#post-1177307 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 15:59:45 +0000 lizzywiz 1177307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: Nope.<br /> She slept through from about 3 1/2-51/2ish months and that was it.<br /> We are going through a better period now, but have actually told each other not to get our hopes up! :wink: She has fooled us before, lol.<br /> She is 18 months and sleeps in her own room. We would have co-slept if it helped, but it didn't. Yawn.<br /> It is brutal.

They were up (and eating) many, many times a night until we sleep trained at 10 months, but since then have done remarkably well. I'm hoping we paid our dues! Occasionally they need some extra attention because of teething or sickness, but it's usually at the beginning or the end of the night, rather than a middle of the night wakeup. </p>
