Might that help him get through to morning?</p> <p>P just started STTN a few weeks ago (12 months old) but had been waking for months around 3.30/4. A dream feed at 10 sometimes had her sleeping through from 10-7 - bliss! I am not a morning person :)</p> <p>Another option to CIO (not that I'm opposed to CIO) is to cut down the feeds progressively. Ie first night 10 mins, next night 8 mins, etc til you're down to no minutes, then *hopefully* he'll not wake or resettle very easily. That gradually shifts the calories he's getting at 4am to the breakfast feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-sttn-1#post-1061124 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 05:53:09 +0000 loveisstrange 1061124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: C would eat for a minute too, but she never ate very much and she wanted to play more than eat. Thats when we night weaned her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-sttn-1#post-1061121 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 05:46:26 +0000 matador84 1061121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I wait about 10-15, which is the length I wait to check nighttime sleep when I needed to. He usually does nurse for a while which makes me think he's hungry? </p> <p>The early wake ups are killing me though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-sttn-1#post-1061117 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 05:39:17 +0000 loveisstrange 1061117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you wait before getting him? </p> <p>If you feel comfortable doing CIO, it is an option to get rid of a night waking. If he's not too interested in eating, he could legitimately be waking out of habit rather than real need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-sttn-1#post-1061116 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 05:36:50 +0000 matador84 1061116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds is 1 and has sttn for about the past month. He goes down at 7, but sleeps until 430-530. I get him, nurse him, and if I can put him back to sleep so I can get ready. Dh isn't here in the am. </p> <p>Should I let him CIO? Getting him doesn't always work because sometimes he wants to stay awake. How can I get him to extend his sleep time? Putting him down later creates an overtired baby. </p>
