That's what we did. It is such a fine line between interval checks and extinction when they start calming down. You don't want to go in and soothe when you know they are so close to putting themselves to sleep. Night #2 last night went well. Let's hope night #3 continues in the same pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-interval-check-question#post-794590 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:57:01 +0000 Weagle 794590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would restart the timer, but listen closely for crying and go in early if needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-interval-check-question#post-794588 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:48:45 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 794588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't done this yet myself, but from what I understand, if the baby stops crying or seriously calms down, you restart the timer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-interval-check-question#post-794496 Sun, 19 May 2013 22:48:11 +0000 WALLAROO 794496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are on night #2 of sleep training. We are doing CIO with interval checks. I kissed her good night and put her in the crib. She was quiet and then started crying. I started my timer once she started crying to check on her in 5 minutes. She calmed down and was quiet before the 5 minutes were up. Then a minute later she started crying again. Do I start the timer up again at this point or do I go in and pat and calm her down? I wasn't quite sure how it works if she calms down before it was time to go in and check. Hope that makes sense! </p>
