He's 6.6 kg now.</p> <p>Sounds like I should just keep enjoying our 4am snuggles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-resources#post-19179 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:45:07 +0000 Andrea 19179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like he already sleeps very well and doesn't need sleep training? I think it's normal for him to still need 1 night feed and he will probably drop it on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-resources#post-19159 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:06:49 +0000 looch 19159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Ferber's method to sleep train. We waited until DS naturally dropped his night feeding, which was later than the 10 lb. weight that some books advise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-resources#post-19158 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:01:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 19158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we kept one middle of the night feeding when we sleep trained charlie at 4 1/2 months, but he dropped the feeding on his own a couple weeks later. but he was on the chubbier side. although many babies are able to sleep through the night at that age and even younger without a feeding, many sleep training resources say that some babies still need a feeding.</p> <p>i read weissbluth and ferber and all the sleep training books, but for me what was most helpful was talking to real parents who sleep trained.</p> <p>how much does your lo weigh? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-resources#post-19123 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 02:50:12 +0000 Red 19123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doctors/books consider sleeping 5-6 hrs straight as "sleeping through the night" so technically, your LO is. If I remember correctly, babies are physically capable of going without food for a 12 hr stretch at 6 months old, so I would only assume that's also when they can sleep for 12 hrs without nursing.</p> <p>I sleep-trained reading Richard Ferber's Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems. The book can be dry so even if you don't read the whole book, the chapter on sleep associations is extremely helpful to understand how you can affect/change your baby's sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-resources#post-18960 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:07:15 +0000 Rubies 18960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I religiously read "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". It has great material but unfortunately, my LO falls under the "extreme fussy and colicky" category so not everything in it has worked (yet!).</p> <p>My daughter is 3month3weeks and she gets put down in her crib at 6:30am. Anywhere between 12:30-3am, she'll cry for a feed and I get up to feed her. I still feel like she's too little to skip that night feeding. She'll go back to sleep but cry again at around 5ish but I let her cry it out. </p> <p>I think that SOME babies can make it the whole night at this age but maybe when they're a little bit older can it be a more realistic goal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-resources#post-18834 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:38:45 +0000 Adrena 18834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if anyone has a favorite sleep training resource. </p> <p>I was also wondering if it is normal to have a night waking/feeding in the middle of the night at 4 mo? My parents say no and my friends say yes, so I wonder if it is generational, or just the ppl I know.</p> <p>My LO otherwise sleeps from ~7pm-~5am. Is it normal to expect him to sleep all night at this age or am I hoping for too much?? </p>
