Yep, the intermittent stuff is brutal . . . because you start to relax emotionally and when they start up again it jerks you back into anxious/guilt mode. *augh* My LO cried for almost 10 minutes tonight, and eventually (after stand up/ sit down/ stand up/ sit down) she grabbed her lamb, nommed its face, and the rolled over with it and fell asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1050430 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:40:49 +0000 Smurfette 1050430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: hang in there Mama!! I am sure the standing is just a phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1050424 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:36:59 +0000 PrincessBaby 1050424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's been crying 30 mins but intermittently falling asleep...I think she's on the verge so I'm not going in</p> <p>If this girl puts half as much effort into her schoolwork as she does fighting sleep, I think we have a Harvard grad on our hands.</p> <p>I love her so much and I hate seeing her cry, but I KNOW that we'll both be better for it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046258 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:24:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1046258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: have you tried weaning down to two naps? A was also a crappy 30-40 minute napper for the most part and since about 8 months or so, we've done 2 naps (1-1.5 sometimes even 2 hours!) he sleeps 7-6 nurses, goes down again til 8/9. naps at 11 and 3 ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046242 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:20:24 +0000 loveisstrange 1046242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Honestly, as soon as we FINALLY got C's sleep ironed out, she started taking 2 2 hour naps. :) Before that, she was a 30 minute girl too. It made me a believer!</p> <p>Good luck with this! You're doing a wonderful job. Fight the good fight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046241 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:20:23 +0000 littlek 1046241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Nope, he's on 1 nap. But when he was on 2 naps they were both crappy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046231 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:17:55 +0000 PrincessBaby 1046231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H normally has 3 30 min naps a day. Sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046228 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:17:25 +0000 PrincessBaby 1046228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Does he do 2 2hr naps a day??? What would I DO with 4 hours of naptime every day????? I would be like having to take up some Pinterest stuff or something!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046207 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:14:08 +0000 mrsjyw 1046207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hoooooray!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046181 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:08:09 +0000 littlek 1046181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Yes, naps and STTN make life great. B has moved to a 2 + hour nap and it is AWESOME. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046172 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:06:38 +0000 PrincessBaby 1046172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I am pretty baffled by how much more organized life is when sleep is where it should be...Everything else falls in place around sleep!</p> <p>@HLK208: I'm seriously a tiny bit worried that something is wrong! Her head was warm/clammy earlier but not so much that I thought she had a fever, I just chalked it up to her being so hot-natured. But now I wish I would have taken her temp! This is officially the longest nap of her whole life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046127 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:58:15 +0000 HLK208 1046127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Eeek! 2 hour nap? Heaven!!!</p> <p>Once we sleep trained (9 months) E started napping longer too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046118 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:56:25 +0000 littlek 1046118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: That's great sleep training the remix, is going well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046113 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:55:00 +0000 PrincessBaby 1046113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In other news, I have never 100% believed that sleep begets sleep, but my girl has been asleep 2 hours. She is normally Queen of 30 min crap naps! What is going on here? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1046106 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 10:53:33 +0000 PrincessBaby 1046106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ninja: Thank you for that:)</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: You are so sweet:). I agree with you 100% and SO MUCH about that situation not only angered me, but it just totally creeped me out. To know that we're being watched and then JUDGED for our parenting choices and beliefs. And I can't think of a single mom on here that does not give 1000% of herself in doing what shebelieves is best for her LO, and even though I clearly don't have all the answers and my way may not be another hber's way, I would never knock another mom for just trying to do what she thinks is best for her LO. The parenting criticism really REALLY bothered me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again/page/2#post-1045801 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 09:05:31 +0000 MsLipGloss 1045801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ninja: @PrincessBaby: I totally agree re GOMI trolls. I don't know that I can really express how I truly feel about it without getting censored/ put in time out for a while (I digress . . . ), but we are here to support you. You're one of US, and we love, support, and encourage US. ((hugs)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045739 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:47:43 +0000 ninja 1045739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: good luck, and glad it went well last night. As someone who needs to sleep train a 10 month old, I appreciate your real-world example threads. Don't worry about any of the GOMI trolls, most of them are probably not even parents(just the vibe I get), so stick with the folks here who have been there before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045669 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:25:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 1045669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: she's such a champ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045557 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 07:41:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 1045557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I also always leave a night light on, and I leave a really large lovey in the crib with her (her lamb) so that she can cuddle with it if she needs to. And she does. And it is so heartbreaking but so sweet . . . I want her to be independent, but I also want her to be my baby forever. *sigh* </p> [attach=2207/13/ms6wll.600x600.LopsyLamb.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045555 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 07:39:10 +0000 Smurfette 1045555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: Awesome!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045546 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 07:35:25 +0000 PrincessBaby 1045546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Great ! She woke up at around 130 and cried a few mins but went back to sleep...Then she woke up at 6am and I nursed her, and she passed out again and slept until a few mins ago. Even before all of our moving she would sometimes wake up at 6 or so to eat and then go back to sleep and I'm ok with that if she goes to bed at 7/730 and STTN. I hope tonight goes just as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045515 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 07:18:24 +0000 Smurfette 1045515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: How did the rest of the night go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045036 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:24:04 +0000 LovelyPlum 1045036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: good job, Mama and H!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045019 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:14:20 +0000 PrincessBaby 1045019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: I may try toys in crib- that's a good idea!</p> <p>@LovelyPlum: No, it wasn't too bad! Just 15 or so? It's definitely easier this time- not nearly as stressful! The first time toughened me up!</p> <p>@winniebee: Ok that gives me hope that this won't be as painful as the first time...It took a week before we got to minimal crying when I put her down and no night wakeups. I REALLY hope she gets it in just a couple of days!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1045008 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:09:11 +0000 winniebee 1045008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!</p> <p>When we moved it took about 3 nights after being in our new house for sleep to return to normal. We were staying with Dan for 2 wks then hotel for 2 nights prior. He was 14 months and previously sttn. Once in our new house for 2 nights we just had to let him CIO. He cried a few times for 15 mins but returned to sleep and its been a month and he hasn't woken since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1044995 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 19:02:31 +0000 LovelyPlum 1044995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: that doesn't sound like it took long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1044976 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:56:06 +0000 chrispygal 1044976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep training is NOT fun. Ugh. We had a really rough patch for a while with multiple wake ups and it was not fun. We are not fully there, but getting better. We had to re-train and we were lucky that it only took one night, two tops, and we were back to our routine. I was shocked. So stay strong momma! </p> <p>Also, I have started letting her cry in the middle of the night and she has put herself back to sleep every single time. It was tough to let her do it, but now that I know she will go back to sleep, I let her be. We do keep a light on in the hallway or in her room and there are toys in her crib too. That has helped because she can entertain herself if she does not want to sleep. Probably not perfect parenting but it works. haha</p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1044971 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:55:36 +0000 PrincessBaby 1044971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: She really is so stubborn! She is asleep now but it's incredible how HARD she fights!!! She eventually got too tired to stand but she kept falling asleep and then sitting up and crying...Poor boo boo:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1044970 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:55:17 +0000 Smurfette 1044970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take the fact that she is falling asleep as a good sign. She is getting tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/here-we-go-again#post-1044965 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:50:51 +0000 chopsuey 1044965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awwwww.. poor baby! poor you! dang. she's a stubborn one..! hope she's too tired to get back up and passes out soon </p>
