Man, the last two nights have been rough! I'm going to try going the old way tomorrow because i think it's starting to affect putting her down for naps. I just like this way because she would nurse so much longer undistracted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-lo-to-sleep-has-suddenly-backfired#post-373943 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:59:38 +0000 Mrs. Bee 373943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can you go back to the old way? how old is your lo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-lo-to-sleep-has-suddenly-backfired#post-373940 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:58:33 +0000 Freckles 373940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past, i would nurse LO in my room after getting her ready for bed. Then i would bring her to her room, sing and rock her and then put her to sleep awake.</p> <p>Last week, i started nursing her in room in the dark because i found that she was less distracted and would get sleepy quickly. In fact, i continued this for a couple of days because she would be out like a light by the time i put her down in the crib. Sometimes she'd open her eyes but would go back to sleep.</p> <p>Ugh, the last couple of nights it has completely backfired! I'd nurse her, she'd *almost* fall asleep and as soon as i put her down in the crib she's wide awake and starts bawling!! Today she cried for about 45 minutes. Ughhhhh!</p> <p>Did i start a bad habit? Can this be reversed? </p>
