Within a week or two, he figured out sleep well. Right now, at 11 months old, it boggles my mind why he's waking up at 6am again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-989211 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 05:51:00 +0000 lindseykaye 989211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a failed attempt a few weeks ago with checks, we ended up doing full on extinction. The video monitor we got made a huge difference for me. I know we'll probably go back and forth some, and will have bad nights and good nights but DH and I totally kept giving each other high fives last night, saying "3 minutes?!".<br /> She also woke up once or twice to fuss and fall back asleep but I didn't get out of bed until 5:45 (and she's still asleep now at 6:45! I'm thinking I might have to wake her for daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-989057 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:42:28 +0000 immabeetoo 989057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: woohoo glad it's going well! what method are you using? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-989048 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:36:16 +0000 winniebee 989048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad it's working so well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-988976 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:37:49 +0000 lindseykaye 988976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I have been trying to do 2-3-4 because she is definitely ready for her first nap after 2 hours. I knew we couldn't do the '4' tonigh t though since that would be 10:30!<br /> Hopefully with better naps she will find a nice little schedule for herself. Wouldn't that be nice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-988921 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 20:58:17 +0000 cascademom 988921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We push it out if he's had a long nap. Today, he slept from 1:00 to 3:30pm. After that, he went to a restaurant and playground. He got super tired around 6:30pm, then we started bath/bedtime, in bed by 7pm. So, 4 hours. 2-3-4 works really well with LO. Sleep training has done wonders for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-988905 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 20:46:17 +0000 lindseykaye 988905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah we ended up kind of winging it and hanging out for a bit. She (of course) woke up right as I hit submit on this 6:35 and she went in her crib at 8:20. Then she cried for only 3 minutes before putting herself to sleep!!?! :D<br /> This whole sleep training thing has been amazing, by the way. Thanks for the encouragement - it's been rough at times but it's like a switch was flipped for her. She woke up and put herself back to sleep last night for the first time EVER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-988657 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 17:59:38 +0000 NovBaby1112 988657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome sleep training is going so well!! I know my LO needs at least 2.5/3 hours of awake time before bed after a monster 2+ nap. I would wake her up now and then just push bedtime out a bit. You might have a hard time getting her down for the night if you try any sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-late-nap#post-988636 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 17:37:43 +0000 lindseykaye 988636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started sleep training on Friday night and LO has already started sleeping longer stretches. so far today, she took a 2 hour nap earlier and is now 2hr 10 min into another nap!<br /> This is awesome... except that she normally goes to bed in like an hour. What do I do with this? Normal bedtime/routine? Push things a little later, but how late? Sleeping too long is totally new for me hah! </p>
