I was super worried in the beginning but the crying has lessened A LOT and LO is even putting himself back to sleep after waking early from naps...I hope things are going well with you and your LO and just wanted to encourage you. Everyone says sleep training and listening to your baby cry is so hard...and it is so true. But it really has made life so much better and less stressful after doing this for just one week. I hope things are going well with you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1249618 Thu, 28 Nov 2013 23:22:53 +0000 Cchoi4 1249618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we started a few nights ago...ugh...he has cried at least an hour the first night (I don't know the exact amount bc DH walked in and tried to rock him but gave up soon after when it wasn't working so we had to resort back to CIO), 2nd night he cried 1 hour 10 min, and tonight he cried 1 hour 17 min! </p> <p>I'm hoping the next few days are better. My son is also 4 months and usually wakes for 2 feedings. I still feed him bc he hasn't been nursing well during the daytime. And he goes right back to sleep afterwards so I'm okay with that.<br /> Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1248361 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 20:43:54 +0000 immabeetoo 1248361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: yeah if we ever go back to nursing bc of a tooth cutting or something then I only let him nurse one side and then on one side for a few minutes the next day and then by the third night he just sleeps through. He definitely doesn't appreciate being cut off haha but it works a charm for us (we initially did no cry sleep solution at 5.5m) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247659 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:30:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1247659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I'm going to reduce the MOTN feedings to one, and see how that goes. He's currently comfort nursing vs actually eating most of the time. If I pop DS off early, he goes bananas so I don't think I can cut his feeding sessions off earlier. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247494 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:23:47 +0000 immabeetoo 1247494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Have you tried just cutting back on night feedings or using a different method to get him to go back to sleep in the MOTN? I totally understand doing whatever it takes; but I think it would be a really abrupt adjustment to go from several nursing to CIO with no feeding :sad: My LO nursed once or twice a night until he was 9 months and dropped it on his own after I decided I was going to cut back and not let him nurse as long. It was like he decided it wasn't worth the effort, so he just didn't wake up. You might try it or have your SO go in instead and save yourself some headaches! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247488 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 13:20:30 +0000 Alivoo01 1247488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QueensBee: @sandy: @BabyMats: @sheskrafty: Thanks ladies!! Looks like it didn't take too many days to get your LO to get used to the idea. I know it'll be hard still, but at least there's a goal in sight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247319 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:27:49 +0000 sheskrafty 1247319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: We just did sleep training last weekend and LO now cries less than a minute when we put her down - it is a miracle!!! Your LO will surprise you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247270 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:16:18 +0000 BabyMats 1247270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: good luck! It was about three nights and we did motn feedings but eventually he didn't even wake up for that he gives us between 7-8 hr stretches before he wakes up. Trust me we did whatever it took four me to be able to sleep! Don't hang your head in shame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247265 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:15:18 +0000 sandy 1247265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!!! I would definitely do a MOTN feeding at 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247234 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:02:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1247234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: there is no shame in doing what you have to do to get everyone a little extra sleep!! I would not let him go very long during the day without eating so he's nice and full at bedtime though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247233 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 12:01:58 +0000 QueensBee 1247233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>~~~~~~~~~ good vibes for you!</p> <p>We sleep trained at 3 months and it really wasn't too bad. Even the very first night was better than I expected- he cried for about 25 minutes and then slept through the night! I hope it goes well for you too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1247218 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 11:56:26 +0000 Alivoo01 1247218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thanks for the reassurance. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246688 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:41:42 +0000 Smurfette 1246688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Don't hang your head in shame!! We have all been there. I was doing the same thing at 4 months till we let her CIO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246684 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:41:13 +0000 Alivoo01 1246684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @Mrs. Taco: @lawbee11: @autumnlove: Thanks!! I know I'll need it! DS is tough cookie so I'm sure a 20 minute cry fest is nothing for him..... Eek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246669 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:39:47 +0000 autumnlove 1246669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246658 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:38:08 +0000 Alivoo01 1246658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: He's 4 months.</p> <p>@lawbee11: this is going to sound bad, but he's up like every hour or hour and half so we've been co-sleeping because I get SOME shut eye vs getting up and down, and every time he's crying, I shove my boob in his mouth to calm him down so that we can both go back to sleep. *hangs head in shame* I'll feed him at a half way point between when he goes to sleep and when he needs to wake up. He's proven during the day time he can go up to 6 hours without eating, so I think up to 6 hours at night is a good mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246610 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:27:56 +0000 lawbee11 1246610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!!! I hope it goes smoothly. </p> <p>I probably wouldn't feel comfortable skipping all MOTN feedings. I think it's normal for EBF babies to eat at least once in the MOTN up until 8/9 months. M usually eats once or twice over a 12-hour period and she legitimately seems hungry when she eats. But if he's eating like 5 or 6 times a night then I could see wanting to eliminate some of those feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246579 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:24:18 +0000 Smurfette 1246579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 nights! </p> <p>If you aren't ready to cut out all MOTN feedings, then pick a time and don't feed before then. Then after you feed just put right back in the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246577 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:23:55 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1246577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! We're considering starting soon so I'll be reading along :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246551 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:18:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 1246551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were lucky and only the first night was really bad at bedtime. But we haven't tackled motn or naps yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246497 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:10:33 +0000 hilsy85 1246497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! How old is your LO? </p> <p>For us, by night 3 there was a big improvement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/send-me-your-sleep-training-good-vibes#post-1246495 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:09:41 +0000 Alivoo01 1246495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at the end of my wire and will start sleep training DS this Saturday (we'll be out of town tomorrow and Friday). I've talked to DH and we agreed on trying the CIO method. I know the first couple nights are the hardest so please send me your good sleep training vibes and any suggestions/recommendations you have!! Thanks!!</p> <p>Also, how many nights of sleep training did it take you before your LO started going down easier and not as fussy for a long time? Should I skip MOTN feedings?</p> <p>ETA: DS is 4 months old. </p>
