And yeah a string of sickness/teething does mess with their sleep. Usually then I'll let her CIO for a bit and she will *usually* go back to STTN. Sometimes it just takes 1-2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-sleep-regression-after-cio-and-how-about-teething#post-1097037 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:09:31 +0000 LazyLightning 1097037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: absolutely makes sense to me. When you're sick you need comfort!!!What spurred this for us was that LO was sick and we spent about a week of sleepless nights holding/rocking/comforting... and after she got better, she decided she'd rather have that than her previous routine of going right to sleep. hah.</p> <p>@hilsy85: I've been wondering about teething too. She keeps chewing her hands and her cheeks are flushed sometimes (but no fever). But she's still quite young, 3.5 months, so it's not like i'm expecting teeth to pop through. That said, a baby at daycare with her is 2 weeks older than her and has 2 teeth already!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-sleep-regression-after-cio-and-how-about-teething#post-1095150 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:36:06 +0000 hilsy85 1095150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: exactly this! </p> <p>The 4 month sleep regression is usually when most ppl sleep train, so I would definitely NOT fall back because she's waking up multiple times during that. Although, for many (my LO included) they end up waking up a lot at night because they're too distracted to eat well during the day, so they're hungrier at night. So just make sure her intake is good during the day. For teething, it's the sort of thing that goes on for a long long time--it's hard to know when it's really teething (example: we were positive LO was teething at 5 months. And he may have been. But his teeth didn't come in til 9 months). We sleep trained in between there because things were really bad. And when he finally did get his teeth, I was like, "Oh THIS is what teething REALLY is!". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-sleep-regression-after-cio-and-how-about-teething#post-1095119 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:22:59 +0000 regberadaisy 1095119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO is not feeling well or in pain I do not expect her to cry and get herself back to sleep. When she is sick or in pain I give her as much snuggles as she wants. Sometimes that means taking an hour or so to get her back to sleep. Sometimes it means waking up multiple times each night. I don't think it would be fair to expect her to fall back asleep by herself when in pain/sick.</p> <p>As for the 4 month...that's usually what drives people to sleep train! It's what did it for me although sleep training never worked for us. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-handle-sleep-regression-after-cio-and-how-about-teething#post-1095082 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:08:02 +0000 LazyLightning 1095082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might be overthinking this.<br /> But LO is 16 weeks old. We have been sleep training her this week - she was ready. Took two moderately fussy nights of crying (longest was an hour after a few checks but each, she slept 8-9 hours after falling asleep) and last night she went right down and slept 10 hours. </p> <p>Anyway, I feel like we have a few issues approaching - possibly the 4 month sleep regression, as well as teething (she is drooling buckets and constant hands in mouth).</p> <p>Do you let them CIO during these issues? Or do you have to revert to more coddling/rocking type stuff? Obviously with teething there could be a fever and she'd want comfort, but otherwise, what? Re-train after the tooth cuts or the regression passes? Or solidify the sleep training by continuing as usual? </p>
