She's 5 months now and mostly out of her sleep regression but still waking 3-4 times a night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622531 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 03:10:39 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2622531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD doesn't cry much anymore, but when she used to, we'd wait 20 mins before going in. I guess we're mean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622446 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:11:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2622446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DD1 I would wait 5 to 10 minutes. With DD2, she doesn't really get calmer but she rarely ever needs me, even when sick, so I don't mind rushing in when she summons me lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622439 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2622439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He never cries once asleep, so if he did, one of us would be going immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622386 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:18:29 +0000 travellingbee 2622386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maddyz: I think some are just like that! My older was the same way. And neither of them have been much of fussers. If they wake, it is immediately full on screaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622383 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:16:09 +0000 caterw 2622383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 3 and I usually wait 5-10 minutes unless she is screaming her head off (which usually means she has fallen out of bed). When she was littler I would go in after 2-3 minutes and gradually stretched it out longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622354 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:58:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2622354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cosleep so I could only ignore her for like 2 minutes max. That's when she was younger though! Now she rarely needs me unless she is sick or going through something </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622345 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:56:10 +0000 maddyz 2622345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also go in pretty quickly, sometimes he calms himself but if he's really crying it just gets harder the longer we wait. He's always been like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622276 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:10:49 +0000 travellingbee 2622276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I should clarify that if he just fusses for a second or two and stops we don't run in there. But waiting 3 minutes or 10 minutes doesn't help because he gets so worked up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2622270 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:07:22 +0000 peaches1038 2622270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had been going right in, but now I try to wait 3-5 minutes unless it's around the time when he usually nurses or if he's hysterical. He's 10 months old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-wait-before-going-in#post-2619787 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:15:00 +0000 travellingbee 2619787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tend to go in and get DS when he's crying at night pretty quickly because he doesn't ever get calmer. He tends to get more and more worked up rather than fussing and going back to sleep. Especially since he can stand up now. Do you wait or go right in? </p>
