So, you could rub her back, belly, hands... just something that would help her relax enough to drift off. travelgirl1 on "Tell me about your non CIO sleep training methods!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-non-cio-sleep-training-methods#post-606803 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:52:38 +0000 travelgirl1 606803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Weagle: She can't go down on her belly so if she's on her back, would you just rub the head? @bunnylove08: I'll give that a go, thanks! bunnylove08 on "Tell me about your non CIO sleep training methods!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-non-cio-sleep-training-methods#post-605659 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:03:06 +0000 bunnylove08 605659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not sure if this method works, but it works 50% of the time for us. I put a pacifier in her mouth, hold her towards my chest, like I'm nursing her and do a little bounce rock and when she is drowsy, I will put her in the crib. Sometimes shes knocks out sometimes she doesnt.

Both have worked at different times. The non-CIO method that works now is this: Diaper change, white noise and lights off Hold LO and sing a song(s) while she calms down Lay LO down and rub/pat head/back until very drowsy or asleep... depending on whether or not she's really fighting it. Sometimes she does cry, but I'm right there with her soothing her, so it's not CIO. travelgirl1 on "Tell me about your non CIO sleep training methods!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tell-me-about-your-non-cio-sleep-training-methods#post-605604 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 11:52:04 +0000 travelgirl1 605604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A is 16 weeks old and I'm thinking some kind of sleep training could be good soon, but I'm not ready to let her CIO yet. * I have nothing against CIO at all, it's just not for us, at this point. Could anyone share any non CIO methods that worked for them?
