She was older though (18 months) and capable of STTN so I didn't worry much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2475118 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 17:16:57 +0000 birdofafeather 2475118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: i made up the difference, but those late pumps instead of a dream feed killed me i think! scout was up 3-4 times the last two nights. i couldn't even keep track. girlfriend still needs to eat overnight and i think me emptying my breasts made it so she was never satisfied! definitely NOT pumping tonight. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474769 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:37:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 2474769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going out of town for the weekend in April and LO will be 11 months at the time. I'm so nervous for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474765 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:37:04 +0000 KT326 2474765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has always slept through the night for my mom! Even when he was a baby. We left him when he was around 10 months and he slept all night for her but was still waking up once a night for us. Drives me crazy. He sleeps so much better at her house than at home. She can get 12 hours straight and we are lucky if we get 10 (he is almost 4 now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474749 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:33:14 +0000 autumnlove 2474749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: good luck! How is the pumping?</p> <p>I guess I need to practice with a bottle in the MOTN! Zzzzzz </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474728 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:25:06 +0000 birdofafeather 2474728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, with my mom/parents for a night or two. She STTN after 12 months but would still wake up every now and again randomly later on. My mom didn't seem to care at all as in it wasn't a condition of watching her. Now with DD2, she's less apt to go down quietly so I'm a little more nervous to leave her overnight but we will again with my parents for a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474248 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:50:25 +0000 Alivoo01 2474248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left DS with good friends of ours overnight, unintentionally (my work holiday party ran an hour over and he was asleep already), and he doesn't STTN. I was so worried about our friends and what a burden it would be, but they said it was no biggie and didn't mind. Thank you awesome friends! But he did wake up upset in the morning because I wasn't there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474117 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:18:46 +0000 twodoghouse 2474117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We left them when they were 9 weeks old to go to a wedding overnight. My in-laws just gave them bottles when they woke overnight. At 21 months they still are not sleeping through the night and we have not left them with anyone since that one time at 9 weeks. I haven't even left them with DH at night because he doesn't feel comfortable dealing with both of them at night (they both want to nurse at MOTN wake ups. We night weaned them a couple months ago but it didn't solve any of our issues so now we are back to nursing MOTN). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474102 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:14:24 +0000 QBbride 2474102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I haven't. I've only left my son when I knew he would sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474066 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 11:05:51 +0000 FaithFertility 2474066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she nursed no, but now I would definitely leave her with my sister for sure! Come to think of it I should it soon!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2474002 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:47:25 +0000 JoJoGirl 2474002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd ask the sitter! We left my LO for a night when she was 12 weeks so clearly not STTN :) My mom was totally game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2473992 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:43:34 +0000 winniebee 2473992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes when both didn't STTN, we would leave with a willing grandparent. Both took bottles fine and would usually just wake once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2473988 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:42:05 +0000 yin 2473988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For 2-3 nights, it'll be fine. Enjoy yourself and don't stress out too much. Plus it's extra bonding time for your parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2473870 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:55:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2473870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they will be fine! If your mom says she's up for it go for it! The beauty of little kids is that they also nap. My parents have watched both my kids while they were still not STTN. They wouldn't be able to do it for a week by I think my mom had DD for like 4 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-doesnt-sttn#post-2473865 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:51:42 +0000 autumnlove 2473865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you left them with a sitter/grandparent/friend for a weekend away? How did your sitter and LO do? </p> <p>LO 3 STTN maybe 1-2 a week and is all over the place the rest of the time. We are planning on leaving all 3 kids with my parents next month for a 2-3 night getaway. My mom says she won't mind the wakeups but i am afraid it will be too much to ask from her. I am thinking about taking the baby with us or just cancelling the getaway part of our trip. </p>
