By the time we trained, I had him with one arm out already (for about a week), and then took both arms out of the swaddle a few days into training. Maybe you can try that? Also, you said you ditched the swaddle and paci cold turkey with your son, so why not try that with your LO2?<br /> It has only been about a month since we trained, so I guess take what I say with a grain of salt! But bedtime is so much better now that we've trained! It really only took one night of crying (and it was SO hard listening to it!!!) for my LO. For several days after that, he did cry but it wasn't the same type of cry. Now, a month later, he will sometimes cry a little bit and sometimes not at all! I'm always so proud of him when he just goes to bed quietly! :)<br /> I would say that if you decide to train, you must commit and be consistent. It's hard not to want to pick up your baby when they're crying hard, but what I kept telling myself was that if I did pick him up, I basically made him cry for nothing. That helped me to be strong.<br /> Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ferber-sleep-training-inspiration#post-1881178 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 10:55:36 +0000 Amelieisme 1881178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I need advice/success stories. LO2 turned 6 months yesterday and her sleep is getting worse. I am ready to move her out of my room but she is waking 3-4 x/night to either nurse or have her paci replaced. I am also still swaddling. I tried to ditch the swaddle a month or so ago to no avail. I keep wanting to sleep train but I WOH and have a toddler so it just seems there is never a good time. I need my sleep to function at work and we are "getting by" as is. BUT in the hope for a better tomorrow, I want to train her! With my son, I mini trained--we ditched swaddle, paci and moved him into his own room cold turkey. I did it on a Friday night and by Sunday night he was sleeping. I've tried this with her but she just isn't having it! Please help me commit to the process. Also, would you ditch swaddle and paci at the same time? Tell me your success stories! </p>
