I don't know if it would make you feel more comfortable, but I used to let her fall asleep with the lovey, and then I'd sneak into her room and move it off of her face. I usually replaced it next to her in the crib, so she could grab it if she needed it, but it wasn't actually touching her, if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-sleep-advice#post-260225 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:41:34 +0000 creativemomma15 260225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the advice so far. It would make sense if this was his 4 month sleep regression. I'm just not sure about CIO yet. Honeybee, I think I will keep wrapping at naps. I am glad he is not the only one like that. I have also been debating about letting him sleep with a lovey, his muslin swaddle blanket. He likes to have it up at his cheek but I get nervous about him covering his face. We will see how the next few nights go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-sleep-advice#post-259910 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:12:07 +0000 prettylizy 259910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: lol!

He's been sleeping better at night, but I do still have to wrap him up for his naps during the day. I know that, for a lot of babies, naps are harder than nighttime, so even if they adjust at night, it might take a lot longer for them to adjust for naptime.</p> <p>Also, a lot of babies hit a sleep regression at 4 months (which is your son's adjusted age, right?). That's whay so many people sleep train around that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-sleep-advice#post-259903 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:07:10 +0000 prettylizy 259903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing I can think f based on his adjusted age he is going through the 4 month sleep regression now. LO started promptly at 4 months and at 5 months she seemed to snap out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-sleep-advice#post-259896 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:47:22 +0000 MsLipGloss 259896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-sleep-advice#post-259634 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:05:51 +0000 creativemomma15 259634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey Everyone, I am new to the hive here and need some advice. I have been looking through some sleep training posts and such but just wanted to put my situation out there to see what you all think and what advice you have. (Sorry if this gets long)</p> <p>I have a 5 month old son (born 1 month early) and we have been having some sleep issues. Nothing too extreme, but enough to break up our nights a lot. He used to be swaddled all the time and that is the only way he would sleep well. Within the past month he started breaking out of the swaddle and we tried un-swaddled sleep which did better for about 2 weeks. He was still waking up about 2-3 times in the middle of the night, but I was able to just give him his pacifier and he would go right back to sleep. Now, it's almost as if he is too busy that when he started to wake up in the middle of the night, he just wants to chew on his fingers, etc and won't get settled. I've tried swaddling him in the middle of the night and tried the one arm swaddle but he is still waking up every couple of hours. We debate about sleep training, but he just gets so mad sometimes and it is so hard to hear and almost wakes him up more. (Also, he hasn't been eating in the middle of the night for about 2 1/2 months) He is still napping 3-4 times a day and can't make it more than 2 hours awake usually. His naps have been inconsistent too, but he can take a good 2 hour afternoon nap some, but if he is swaddled. </p> <p>I am just not sure what to do. I am scared of sleep training but am wondering if that's what we need to do. I wouldn't care as much if it was just a matter of giving him his nuk, but recently he's been more unsettled when he wakes up. He's stuck in between swaddling and not swaddling and that makes it hard. </p> <p>Any advice is welcome! Thanks! </p>
