Even if you decided not to do ferber, there's TONS of good info in there about sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-all-your-sleep-training-advice#post-1208686 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:12:20 +0000 Smurfette 1208686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nursing to sleep before we did CIO. We didn't do checks cause we found out right away they just pissed her off. I would nurse, with one light one (not an over head) sleep sack on, and white noise on. After she was done, burped, sing her a song and in the crib. </p> <p>Still do this now with her bottle since I weaned. I think doing it on the low light, white noise on, helps her relax and get mentally ready for night night. Now she will be almost finished with her bottle before her eyes start to close. She knows the difference between eating during the day and night. During the day she will have her bottle anywhere and in any position. At night she turns so she is nice and snugly with DH or me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-all-your-sleep-training-advice#post-1208672 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:02:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 1208672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been letting C fuss at night- we aren't formally sleep training yet, but agreed we would wait for ten minutes of crying. So far she hasn't full blown cried, just fussed for 25 min then fell asleep. But I think this is just a fluke so far! I agree it is going to be necessary to stop nursing to sleep, though I still am doing it if I can. I have moved the main feeding nursing to the living room and keep her awake out there. Once she's drowsy, I unlatch, change diaper, sleep sack, etc, and do comfort nursing to sleep in her room. Once we really sleep train I guess I will stop the last comfort nursing bit. </p> <p>@grizz: you know my book still hadn't arrived? I think they shipped it on the pony express. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-all-your-sleep-training-advice#post-1208645 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:51:40 +0000 Boheme 1208645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is pretty much the worst sleeper of all time, but he has gotten so much better since we started using the Pantley method (No Cry Sleep Solution). We're down to two or three wake-ups a night. I know that doesn't sound great, but we were at 10-13(!!!!) wakings just a couple of short weeks ago. I only nurse him to drowsy now. If he starts falling asleep, I unlatch him before he's out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/give-me-all-your-sleep-training-advice#post-1208636 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 12:47:42 +0000 emg86 1208636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a month and a half of every 1.5-2hr wake ups we've decided to do some sleep training. J used to sttn until her two bottom teeth poked through and then she kept waking up out of habit. After her 6m visit her pediatrician suggested we give it a shot to see if it helps for everyone's sake :-( we are also moving her out of our room :-( </p> <p>I've read about doing the first check after 5 minutes. Did anyone wait longer than that? We let her fuss/cry a little bit to get her to nap. It's usually 10 minutes of fussing and then she's out so I'm wondering if we should do the same at bedtime. Also, did anyone sleep train and nurse to sleep? Our pedi told us to break that habit but I don't know if it will be possible...she passes out on my boob as soon as we turn the white noise on. </p> <p>Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm a nervous wreck and a bit sad...she's always been in our room (heck, she was born on our bed) but my husband and I both need to sleep to be better partners and better parents. </p>
