Her sleep was AWFUL. it can take a lot longer for a child to get better than an adult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-stand-by-crib-until-dd-falls-asleep#post-698664 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 09:55:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 698664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleveesmommy: We are doing a bit better. There are still some times she insists that we pat her back, but she's getting better about laying down and we will sing to her without touching her. </p> <p>Last night I started to walk out and was down by the end of her crib (usually I stand at the side). She got mad and said "mommy here" and pointed to the side where she wanted me to stand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-stand-by-crib-until-dd-falls-asleep#post-672118 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:25:14 +0000 littleveesmommy 672118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: tonight she insisted I either rub her back or pat her tush. =P hopefully the sleep lady shuffle works for you! Let me know how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-stand-by-crib-until-dd-falls-asleep#post-669875 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:14:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 669875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to have to do the Sleep Lady Shuffle too because we have to wait for her to fall asleep. </p> <p>We used to have to rub her back, but at least now she will lay down on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-stand-by-crib-until-dd-falls-asleep#post-669870 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:12:40 +0000 littleveesmommy 669870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: hmm I have not but it sounds like a good start! I'll give it a shot tonight. Thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-stand-by-crib-until-dd-falls-asleep#post-669844 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:57:03 +0000 Sammyfab 669844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely sounds like she's developed a new habit. Traveling can really throw things off!</p> <p>Have you heard of the Sleep Lady Shuffle? I'm not sure of the exact details but I think you kind of just move further and further away every night (or every few nights). So one night you're bedside, the next night you're a few feet away in a chair...a few nights later you're at the door, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-to-stand-by-crib-until-dd-falls-asleep#post-669837 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:49:33 +0000 littleveesmommy 669837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We returned from our trip to Cali last Tuesday and since then, DD has had a hard time falling back to sleep if she wakes in the middle of the night from teething. For the first few days I chalked it up to time zone adjustment and we also let her sleep with us a few nights (she was not familiar with environment and couldn't sleep). I literally have to stand right there until she falls asleep. Her Jedi senses knows when I move and she lifts her head to look for me, and I have to say "mommy is right here, sleep sleep!" I love watching her sleep but I'm getting really tired staying up waiting for her to fall asleep. (Note - I used to just put her back down and walk out with no problems). </p> <p>Have I created a bad habit? How to correct? </p>
