J has been waking up between 11 and 1 and then again anywhere between 3:45 and 5:30. Totally depends and doesn't have ANY rhyme or reason that we have been able to decipher. </p> <p>Our plan is to let him have his 11-1 feeding then skip the early morning one and see how that goes. It might be a total disaster (which I'm not looking forward to since I have to work in the morning!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-wakings#post-346258 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:03:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 346258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with charlie it took 2 days, but he was pretty easy to night train. we cried out the middle of the night feedings and kept only 1, but then he dropped it on his own within a week or so.</p> <p>you can set a time and not nurse before then, and cio wakings before that time? i know it's tough and heartbreaking! i never even night trained olive and she still wakes up at night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-wakings#post-346246 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:00:25 +0000 London Mama 346246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to hear the responses to this as we're planning on sleep training soon but DS still wakes to eat 2-3 times a night (he's 3.5 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-wakings#post-345969 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 02:59:53 +0000 loveisstrange 345969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is 6.5 months old and just now not eating once in the early am. She started after we swaddle weaned. She does sometimes wake in the night, but I let her CIO. She never lasts more than a few minutes before she calms down and goes back to sleep. It's been over a week now, so I'd say it's working. </p> <p>We never let her eat to sleep and started putting her down drowsy when she was 2 months old, so we didn't have those habits to overcome.</p> <p>Best of luck! She'll get the hang of it. :) Hopefully, soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-and-night-wakings#post-345960 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 02:25:26 +0000 BeachMama 345960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been sleep training for the past week, putting LO down awake in her crib for naps and nighttime, without letting her nurse to sleep. The naps have been hit or miss - some days she falls right asleep, other's she cries a lot before falling asleep. Nighttime is usually pretty good with minimal crying. What kills me though is when she wakes in the middle of the night. If she wakes before 5 hours I won't nurse her and we let her cry it out (as recommended by our ped). But hearing her cry at this time breaks my heart more than when we first put her down, because I just imagine her waking up in the dark, scared, crying for mommy. On the third night she didn't wake till after 5 hours so I thought she had learned. But the past two nights she's woken after 3 hours. If you have sleep trained before dropping all night feeds, how long did it take for your LO to stop waking before it's time to nurse?</p> <p>Note: she used to go a 5 hour stretch every night before her 4 month-ish sleep regression. She's gone as long as 8 hours on several occasions. This is why I feel it's okay to not nurse her when she wakes at 3 hours. </p>
