I knew it would be hard and to follow my "instincts" and comfort level, but still was not prepared for how hard it actually is now that I'm going through it. I'm starting to question what I am comfortable with. =(</p> <p>I will see how tonight goes and her daytime eating goes. She's given bottles during the day so I'll know how much she's eaten. It would be great if she could sttn and drop the feeding, although I'll miss it a little since that's the only time she nurses from me any more.</p> <p>Thanks again for all the support and answering all my questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-feelings#post-451582 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:01:02 +0000 Mrs. Bee 451582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamajaja: there is no one right way to decide whether or not to night wean. rubies for instance kept night feedings, and her lo dropped them on her own around 10 months? </p> <p>with olive, i knew she wouldn't night wean by herself (because she hadn't at almost 14 months and she's a nursing addict).</p> <p>the 4am wake up is really tough though for all babies. that's when they naturally have a shift in their sleep cycle, and many babies wake up at that time.</p> <p>if you are ok with keeping one night feeding, i think that's ok. i actually kept 2 night feedings when sleep training olive because she was coming off 5+ wakings after being sick for over 2 months. but she very easily dropped the wakings on her own when i let her cry for a couple minutes for 2 days.</p> <p>it is really what you are most comfortable with since you know your baby best. if she was sleeping through the night before, you know she can do it again. if that's the case, i would try to sttn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-feelings#post-451537 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 11:40:01 +0000 mamajaja 451537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Well, the first night of sleep training, she slept through her usual feeding time and her second night last night she woke up and started crying. I let her cry for about 10 min before going in to nurse her. She actually dropped all her feedings consistently before, and then it came back about a month ago when she started to get harder and harder to put to sleep at night.</p> <p>However, last night, she slept from 6:32 am - 4:14 am straight with minimal arousals! And then after CIO for about 30 min, she went back to sleep for another 3 hours! I have to add that this may be a fluke since she took no naps yesterday and it rained here last night (LO seems to sleep better when it rains). *sigh* We are only on day 2 too.</p> <p>Sorry for being so long-winded, but what does it depend on to determine if night weaning should happen too? </p> <p>Thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-feelings#post-451365 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 09:57:24 +0000 Mrs. Bee 451365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we put charlie back to cio after the one night feeding we decided to keep, but he didn't cry. he dropped the feeding on his own shortly thereafter, but he was taking bottles then.</p> <p>olive cried one minute at the most and went back to sleep after night feedings. so i wasn't on planning on it, but i ended up night weaning while sleep training since she wasn't crying.</p> <p>but yes you put them back in the crib to cio. your lo might not sttn unless night weaned though, so depending on how sleep training is going, you may want to night wean as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-feelings#post-451296 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 09:30:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 451296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to night wean and then sleep train. </p> <p>When she started getting up at night, we would go in, but not pick her up. We told her it was time to lay down and go night night and we would lay her down and rub her back. </p> <p>We found that as soon as we picked her up she wanted milk. It was too hard on her to sometimes go in and pick her up and feed her, but other times we made her cry. She didn't understand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-feelings#post-451251 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 09:08:32 +0000 Smar11 451251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I put him back in the crib to CIO. Sometimes he falls back asleep within minutes, other times it takes a lot longer. :(. Those nights aren't fun. However, those are few and far between.<br /> For reference, we have been sleep/nap training him for about two weeks so far. He's 6.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-feelings#post-451195 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 08:22:34 +0000 mamajaja 451195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you that still do night feedings while sleep training, did you put your LO back in crib after they were done and just let them CIO back to sleep again? </p> <p>My LO used to sleep thrust night without feeding, but recently before we started sleep training, she started waking up around 4am for a feeding again. So when she cried at 4am today I went in to feed her, but she immediately started crying when I put her back in the crib. (Still crying right now *sob*). </p> <p>Also, LO is 7.5 months now, maybe it's time to night wean as well? </p>
