I did give him another special early bath feed in addition to his ore bedtime and morning feeds since he hasn't been eating much. </p> <p>I hope things start to improve again when we are better. I feel like the sick and molars breaking through really messed us up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/3#post-1522096 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:00:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 1522096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Oh, that's rough, sorry honey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/3#post-1522073 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 09:54:22 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1522073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: thanks. I offer him water but he throws the bottle at me in anger. He is very smart and very feisty. I'll keep trying but so far all he will take at night is nursing or nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/3#post-1522046 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 09:46:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 1522046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby, I hope you both feel better ASAP! </p> <p>One thing, when we were talking about getting E to sleep more at night (he didn't really STTN until after he was a year old) his pedi suggested offering a bit of water instead of nursing if he woke up. Mayhaps that's something you could try tonight if you're still worried about him dehydrating? Just a thought!</p> <p>You're doing great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/3#post-1522011 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 09:39:05 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1522011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: well I had a semi fail last night. I solo parenting too and I do think that depleting more on top of being sick as a dog.</p> <p>We are both still sick sick and he was up crying for two hours last night. I gave him a couple p short feeds because I was worried all the crying might dehydrate him. I put him down awake and h just cried and cried. Finally he fell asleep but he woke up several more times and cried for longer periods. At 5am I nursed him down finally and He just woke up again and I put on yo Gabba Gabba. I hope tonight goes better. Gonna try to rest up as much as I can during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/3#post-1521711 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:10:05 +0000 lilyann 1521711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: So glad it seems to be going well!!

Dd is sick and I feel like I'm losing it solo parenting... makes me want to keep her in a bubble!! :wink:</p> <p>Do you make him get back in bed or just wait and see? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1521460 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:45:32 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1521460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: So awesome!! That was smart thinking with the nursing in the bath, I would not have thought of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1520633 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 15:28:02 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1520633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey everyone! I am cross posting a bit but we managed to stick to our night weaning agenda pretty well despite both of us being sick. </p> <p>Here is what I did and it worked well. I didn't deviate from the regular 11-6 weaning block but I added an extra feed before his bath ( I actually took a bath with him and fed him in there that way it felt like a special thing so he won't be confused by it but still gets the extra feed) and I fed him from bedtime until 11 as much as he wanted or needed. Then at 6:30 when he woke I fed him as long as he wanted and needed. Which luckily wasn't super long. </p> <p>He did really well during the wake ups. He fussed and even got out of bed and tried to leave the room a couple of times but he didn't cry more than 5-10 minutes at a time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1516479 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 08:48:53 +0000 Adira 1516479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Woohoo!!!! Sounds like things are going well!!! Hopefully soon he'll be sleeping straight on through without waking! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1516472 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 08:47:17 +0000 septca 1516472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Not sure you came across this *fun* stat in your sleep training research, but night 3 is often the hardest... it seems our little people really "get it" by night 3 and know they're being trained. All three times we STed DD, she was STTN by night 4/5, but night 3 was rough. Hang in there and let us know how tonight goes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1516465 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 08:45:29 +0000 bushelandapeck 1516465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: sounds like it's going pretty well!! I hope it continues to get better for you with the wake ups. Good for you for sticking with it!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1516389 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 08:22:35 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1516389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night three was very minimal on the tears but still a lot of wake ups. He cried a few mins but I was always able up get him back down. Hoping for fewer stirrings as time goes on but I'll take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1515233 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 10:41:17 +0000 .twist. 1515233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: yay!

We had a lot of mini wake ups after the first two last night so I am very tired but all of them I was able to get him back down within minutes so we have made some real progress here. Hoping we can get less fragmented sleep tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1514916 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 05:43:27 +0000 Anya 1514916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: wow great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tonight-is-the-night/page/2#post-1514915 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 05:43:17 +0000 Silva 1514915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: wonderful!

My son is very willful and day weaning was a month and a half long process so I am steeling myself for some regressions but I hope I am proven wrong. </p> <p>I must say there is something very magical about watching them fall asleep all on their own. It felt like quite an accomplishment for both of us. </p>
