He has a lovey that is only in his crib but I'll definitely try keeping it close during nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-and-bedtime#post-648866 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 01:56:01 +0000 sandy 648866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I love our pediatrician's office...we get such helpful advice from the handouts we get at LO's checkups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-and-bedtime#post-648865 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 01:45:31 +0000 mrbee 648865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: so smart!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-and-bedtime#post-648863 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 01:29:42 +0000 sandy 648863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is an awesome sleeper but went through this around 10-11 months...our handout from our pediatrician suggested introducing a lovey of some kind. We gave her a bunny stuffed animal and it helped soooo much. She loves that bunny so much and she only sees it at bedtime so she's happy to see him when it's time for bed. We just put it in her crib but I have heard other people hold it close while nursing so LO associates it with comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-and-bedtime#post-648700 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:14:35 +0000 travelgirl1 648700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not sleep training but A is currently sobbing her HEART OUT in DH's arms and I know if I take her she'll stop but she'll also smile and want to play instead of go to sleep so we're kind of letting her tire herself out crying before I take her. Makes me so sad but it does get her to sleep : ( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-and-bedtime#post-648677 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 20:55:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 648677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really, really, really blows. </p> <p>Naps have been okay--a little more crying than normal, but bedtimes the past few nights has been horrible. Ear-piercing screams, even when he's being held and rocked. Tonight he was still sobbing while nursing, which just about broke my heart. We're trying to reassure him we're still here by going in frequently when he cries (our "let him for for 15 minutes" is currently shelved). I don't know what else to do. </p> <p>Have you had this problem? How did you deal with it? Did it eventually pass? </p>
