SO. ANNOYING. it happens at least once every other day.</p> <p>she has gotten used to it, but in the earlier days I'd go rock her and hold her for the rest of her nap :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-wake-ups-sirens#post-1704999 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:14:27 +0000 .twist. 1704999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: well, I do white noise already, but that only drowns out so much noise. Sirens right next to his bedroom in the middle of the night 3 times in a row doesn't get drowned out easily... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-wake-ups-sirens#post-1702025 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 02:33:33 +0000 gracecat 1702025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about white noise to prevent wake ups in the first place? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-wake-ups-sirens#post-1701389 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:10:07 +0000 .twist. 1701389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @googly-eyes: thanks ladies, I tried redoing bedtime routine and that seemed to do the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-wake-ups-sirens#post-1701134 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 23:05:59 +0000 googly-eyes 1701134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Things I tried with my lo:</p> <p>keeping the lights off and waiting to see if she went back to sleep</p> <p>rocking, patting, rubbing her back, bouncing, walking</p> <p>bottles, even months after she stopped having a night time feed. Heck I'd still try it now if I were desperate lol.</p> <p>Redoing all or part of the bedtime routine</p> <p>I usually tried the last couple after the first ones failed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-wake-ups-sirens#post-1701130 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:55:12 +0000 Foodnerd81 1701130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For now I nurse back to sleep if something like that happens. But if you aren't nursing, I'd probably take her out and play quietly for half an hour then try bedtime again. When she is so worked up trying to put her right back down won't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unexpected-wake-ups-sirens#post-1701124 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:47:50 +0000 .twist. 1701124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I put L down like usual, and about an hour later 3 police and fire vehicles raced past our house with blaring sirens, waking him up, and making him a little hysterical. </p> <p>How do you get your baby back to sleep after something like this? I feel like he's wide awake right now and I obviously cannot rationalize with him that it's still bedtime. </p> <p>Anyone have any experience with this? </p>
