When she sounded like she was actually crying/yelling as opposed to just whimpering or whining, then we started the timer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-ferber-check-question#post-1769419 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 18:55:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 1769419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't follow any specific plan, but I just went with my gut in terms of what was fussing and what was actual crying. I don't feel like a book can tell you. Sometimes she yelled and was just yelling, something I just could tell it was crying. </p> <p>Super helpful, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-ferber-check-question#post-1769415 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 18:46:33 +0000 merbaby14 1769415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are sleep training LO who is 4 months and doing checks every 5, 10, and 15 min but I'm wondering when really is the best time to go in for the first check....</p> <p>LO will start whining softly but then it will turn into loud yells for us which can go on for 30 min. So not what I would consider him crying but it still pretty loud and sounds distressed. Do I go in then for the first check or wait until those yells break down into full out crying? </p>
