LO is almost 3 months, so I'm starting to wonder if we should try some form of sleep training (his sleep has been awful lately). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1096001 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:46:28 +0000 LemonLong 1096001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 weeks, (yes weeks). We used the Moms on Call method. It worked awesome for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095994 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:41:09 +0000 Elderberrygin 1095994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six months. We did five minute checks at bedtime and responded to all night wakings. So a sort of modified 5 Minute Sleep Solution. It took two nights for her to go down at bedtime with no problems and maybe five days until she was mostly sleeping through the night. </p> <p>We did it because we needed to swaddle wean quickly (she was rolling over swaddled) and stop her waking every 45 minutes and calling out for her paci, not to eliminate night feedings. I'd say she STTN 5 nights out of seven now, apart from the usual teething/growth spurt/illness set backs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095887 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 20:30:52 +0000 hilsy85 1095887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tried first at 5 months and failed. Tried again at 6.5 months using Ferber's method and it worked in 2 nights (to get him down to 1 wakeup). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095884 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 20:29:23 +0000 twobee 1095884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used 12 hours by 12 weeks, but didn't start until about 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095813 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 19:58:29 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1095813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did it for night weaning. tried it at 3 and 4 months, failed miserably. tried again at 6 months, and that worked. we did extinction and it took 45 mins and one night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095794 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 19:49:26 +0000 Smurfette 1095794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it for the 1st time at almost 4 months. Then she got use to us going in when she woke due to teething so just did it again at 6 months. This time was just for the middle of night wake ups. The putting herself to sleep was still fine. We did CIO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095791 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 19:47:57 +0000 yellowbird 1095791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11.5 months and we used extinction method, but she was really, really ready then. She cried 20 mins the first night and has sttn ever since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095787 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 19:45:34 +0000 immabeetoo 1095787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: 5 months ish and no cry sleep solution. It was a really positive experience and at 9.5 months I feel really good about the decision and where his sleep is at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095752 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 19:29:09 +0000 mrbee 1095752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: There are a number of sleep training blog posts in our series here!</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/sleep-training/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/sleep-training/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleep-training-when-and-how#post-1095745 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 19:25:14 +0000 Pepper 1095745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was LO when you started sleep training? What method did you use? </p>
