BUT, there was only one feed at 5 AM from 12 months on and that wasn't so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2466286 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:22:08 +0000 MenagerieMama 2466286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We specifically night weaned at 14 months and she STTN after that at 14.5 mo. We didn't CIO - DH went in for all wake ups and soothed her (or managed the flailing angry boob monster) back to sleep and eventually she caught on to no milk at night and decided it wasn't worth it. We probably could have done it closer to a year but we had a bunch of travel and illnesses that delayed it. I wasn't going to do anything on purpose prior to a year. And sadly weaning is going tooth and nail (almost 17 mo now...) so she was never close to dropping on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2466225 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:54:56 +0000 NavyRN2012 2466225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyofthewest: me too! 10.5 months here and 3 wake ups a night is a good night. 4-5 is more realistic. I don't know if I can handle it for that much longer 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2466197 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:46:39 +0000 tofuwad 2466197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for posting this I have been curious but wasn't sure how to phrase it. We are in the middle of sleep training and I think I'll throw in the towel on the night wakings but call it mission accomplished because she'll fall asleep on her own. But she absolutely will NOT be comforted back to sleep in the MOTN. Baby sleep is hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2466193 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:45:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2466193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: we've been obscenely lucky.<br /> @FaithFertility: it means birthing eleven pounders.

We were also sleep training at that time, but we didn't do CIO for night wake-ups (we only did CIO for initial falling asleep at the beginning of the night). We would go in, replace her pacifier, comfort her, and leave. She would fuss quietly for a minute and go back to sleep.</p> <p>We've had a reappearance of some night wakings over the last few weeks (~10 months) though, but that's associated with several colds/pinkeye, four new teeth at once, and a big month-long Wonder Week, so I don't think it's permanent. I do nurse her for those wakeups since she clearly needs the comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2466088 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:15:54 +0000 lilyofthewest 2466088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, man. The 16-18mo responses are making me cringe. My 9mo old is still up 4-5 times during "his" night, 3 times during "my" night. There have been a few glorious occasions where it was only 2x. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2466085 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:15:08 +0000 lovehoneybee 2466085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months.

I don't necessarily expect this to become a trend, but I got to sleep 7 hours straight for the first time since she was born and it was AMAZING. Normally, she wakes 1-3 times a night and I feed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2465996 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:38:56 +0000 Adira 2465996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you consider "night feedings"? With both my kids, they nursed around 8-9 p.m. and then again at 5:00 a.m., but nothing in between, by 12 weeks. I didn't consider those night feedings because those feeds didn't interrupt my sleep. We dropped the 9 p.m. feed around 9 months, but didn't drop the 5:00 a.m. one until we weaned (14.5 months for Xander, 12.5 months for Logan). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2465972 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:27:08 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2465972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally my 8.5mo will sttn, but I still get up to nurse her 1-2x night, generally. I get excited by the sttn-nights, but then she wakes again. She's also really random on when her wake ups are, despite a reasonably routine schedule for dinner/bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2465964 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:24:41 +0000 catlady 2465964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did use CIO but not for night nursing (just so she could learn to sleep through a sleep cycle instead of waking every 90 minutes). </p> <p>She slept through at 10 months. The early morning session was the last to go so I didn't count it as sleeping through until she managed to sleep until at least 5:30am or so (i.e. when I could actually start the day and not go back to sleep). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2465950 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:20:43 +0000 PurplePeony 2465950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhere between 15 and 18 months, I don't remember exactly.

We've done some sleep training-lite and that's gotten us back down to that, for a while it was BAD.

He would sttn randomly, and more frequently after 12m. But it wasn't solid until a few weeks after he was totally weaned, so it was almost 14 months before he slept through consistently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ebf-and-didnt-cio#post-2465824 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:44:51 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2465824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about 12-14 months. </p>
