Let me know if you have any questions or just need someone to vent to, I know how awful and isolating it can feel (especially when everyone seems to have an opinion in what you/your LO "should" be doing...). </p> <p>For me CIO was a last ditch effort, I of course didn't WANT to do it, but we both needed it. I felt like I was in so deep and trying to address each problem to make it a gradual process seemed impossible (try keeping her in the RnP longer each night until she wasn't in bed, move the RnP into the nursery, then move her into the crib, etc). Yeah it may have worked eventually, but I felt like I had already sunk so much time, effort, and myself into her sleep I was just done. Selfish? Maybe, but as I just plopped her in her crib and walked out, it was SO worth the handful of shitty nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682761 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:46:59 +0000 MrsCastro 1682761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: that is how i feel...thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682453 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:49:38 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1682453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: Tonight is night 29 (since we started). It's been just about 2 weeks that she's gone down without a peep. I'd say the first 4 days were pretty rocky, then it was decent, then she had that like, 3 day regression from hell and like I said, we've had about 2 weeks of pretty decent sleep!</p> <p>It really wasn't a transition at all. I did it all at once...I felt bad, but had no other option, I was at the end of my rope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682215 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:32:44 +0000 MrsCastro 1682215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: OMG this IS us...how long did the transition take? 4 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682157 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:07:01 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1682157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooh, this was us. I'd nurse her to sleep and put her in the RnP. If I was lucky I'd get a 2, maaaaaybe 3 hour stretch (super rare), then I'd nurse her and try putting her back. She'd be up within the hour and I'd then just bring her into bed out of exhaustion. She'd sleep with me and basically be latched on ALL night long. We'd wake like, every hour to resituate/switch sides. It sucked. </p> <p>At 6 months I sleep trained (Ferber CIO) and did the crib transition all at once. It was a rough couple of days to start (with a regression about 2 weeks in), but now she goes down with zero crying, and, for the most part, only has one wakeup around 12-1 to eat (she goes down super early, at like, 6:00-6:30). We ARE still struggling with some super early wake ups, but I figure we'll get there eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682121 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:57:13 +0000 jetsa 1682121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: DS has never liked a pacifier so no. I wish he'd take it sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682116 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:55:34 +0000 MrsCastro 1682116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: oh this gives me hopes, we would sleep longer stretches before i messed up the pattern...and hubs and i were just saying that maybe it is time for us to transition him into his crib in his room..so maybe this will help...</p> <p>@Alivoo01 @jetsa: did you ladies offer a pacifier at all? currently when he looks to nurse, i can sometimes get away with giving him a pacifier, but sometimes he spits it out and wakes up again...should we juse cut him off cold turkey? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682073 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:44:20 +0000 Alivoo01 1682073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was me and DS before as well. Honestly, DS was such a terrible nighttime sleepr that I continued to allow me him (comfort) nurse all night long as long as I got some sleep. It wasn't until the past month that I started letting him sleep in his own bed, and when I did bring him into bed with me, I tried really hard not to nurse him, even if he's rooting for it. Cue lots of screaming and crying. I told the hubby to take him for a bit so I could sleep. After a few nights, I would just pat-pat his butt instead of offering the boob. It seemed to work. If it didn't, I'd have to pick him up and rock/cradle him till he fell back asleep before laying him back down. Now, he doesn't root to nurse anymore and only does when he's hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1682001 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:25:28 +0000 jetsa 1682001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was there. This is why LO got moved to his crib and room. We had a rough few weeks but he almost immediately started sleeping longer stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-all-night-nurserhelp#post-1681806 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:42:35 +0000 MrsCastro 1681806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my LO is 5 months...and i need help...he is a great sleeper (for the most part) he knows that night time is for sleeping.</p> <p>We start a bedtime about 7 pm...bath, book, bottle and bed...and he will 9/10 fall asleep while drinking his bottle...we then transition him into his bassinet in our room...and he will sleep till about mindnight and then wake up...in my zombie like state i nurse him..he falls asleep...i attempt to put him back in the bassinet and he may stay for an hour at most...and well we both work and need the sleep so i bring him back in bed with us...where he will begin an all night nursing session...oh man...i know that i am at fault for creating this mess...but how do i fix it?</p> <p>HELP... </p>
