I was apparently a sleepy baby for a long time, could fall asleep anywhere and sleep through anything. I'm still that way! (Unless my LO wakes) I've slept through many alarms in my day lol Sleeping arrangements were a combination of family bed & my own crib. mrskc on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-930055 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:28:42 +0000 mrskc 930055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, but my mom says I was an amazing sleeper. She said I was STTN at 6 weeks. I'm still a good sleeper. I can fall asleep fast and sleep deeply. My brother wasn't sleep trained either and he was a problematic sleeper. Even as an adult, my brother is a night owl. Often staying up all night and sleeping during the day. skibobrown on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-930051 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:26:38 +0000 skibobrown 930051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ According to my mom I started sleeping through the night at 3 or 4 months with no coaxing needed. I was EBF too. My opinion is that either my mom has a selective memory, or I must have been the easiest baby on the face of the planet. I tend to believe the former.

Foodnerd81 on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-930026 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:04:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 930026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't think I was sleep trained, but I also wasn't a problematic sleeper. I'm not a great sleeper now- it takes me a long time to fall asleep still, but once I'm asleep I usually sleep deeply and I can fall back asleep after the many bathroom breaks these days. My little sister was the only really bad baby sleeper in my family and my mom had a hard time with her-- first letting her sleep in my parents' bed (she swore she would NEVER cobed for safety reasons), then eventually my mom slept on a twin mattress on the floor of the nursery with the baby (floor bed before it was cool I guess :) ) That sister still has horrible sleep patterns-- she has a lot of anxiety and it's not unusual for her to have bouts of being up until 1 am or later, which leads to taking inappropriately long naps, prolonging the problem. I don't think sleep training would have helped or hurt that, just part of her personality.

I don't remeber sleeping in myown bed until I was 5, at least. I've always been a good sleeper, though. Even as a mom I can sleep through everything except my kids' cries. :) the moment they're awake, I'm awake!

I was a freak of nature. And yes, I still excel at sleeping! I can sleep whenever, wherever. Mrs. Polish on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-930016 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 09:52:53 +0000 Mrs. Polish 930016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I was and have been a good sleeper as long as I can remember. My m says I fought my sleep like crazy until the Dr told her she'd just have to do it. blackbird on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929960 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 09:06:18 +0000 blackbird 929960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was, but mom said it was about a year before she did it Dandelion on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929953 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 09:00:41 +0000 Dandelion 929953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope...I was a good sleeper all on my own...DS was the same way. We both still love to sleep! sorrycharlie on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929950 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 08:55:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 929950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ nope I was not! neither was my brother. I took 14 months to STTN, he was a great sleeper.

Being a mother has taken a huge toll on my sleep.

DH and all of his brothers were. They're awesome sleepers. All of them can sleep through almost anything. googly-eyes on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929700 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 00:48:44 +0000 googly-eyes 929700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Jacks: I'm not a great sleeper now but I have been in the past. I think as an adult, I've gone through phases of good sleep and bad...somewhat similar to my lo!

I was sleep conditioned. Mom played a tape of classical music every night. She says that eventually I would hear that music and bam! Asleep.

I think we co/bedded too. I'm a horrible sleeper, but I think it's all my physiology. Penny Lane on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929640 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:35:27 +0000 Penny Lane 929640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was. I sttn at 2 months, then stopped at 4 months... never to sleep again!! just kidding ...kinda. I was sleep trained, but she says it never really worked on me. I can still take an hour or 2 to fall asleep at night, unless I'm super super tired Boheme on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929621 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:26:36 +0000 Boheme 929621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. We had a family bed. I sleep great... or at least I did before I had a baby ;) Mrs. High Heels on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929606 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:21:31 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 929606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes I was sleep trained. I've always been a great sleeper as far as I can tell. Even now, I can fall asleep anywhere in any environment. I think I turned out ok, and I still love my parents with all my heart! lemondrop on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929602 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:20:29 +0000 lemondrop 929602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, we had a family bed for some time apparently when I was a child. My husband didn't but he apparently was a great sleeper and never needed training. tysonja on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929601 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:20:14 +0000 tysonja 929601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i was sleep trained! :) and yes my mom says that i was a good sleeper, and i remember my younger brother being good about it, too. googly-eyes on "Were YOU sleep trained?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-sleep-trained#post-929596 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 23:17:48 +0000 googly-eyes 929596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wasn't. My parents don't really know anything about it! They just met my needs on a case by case basis (so it's not like I never cried but no CIO) and encourage me to do the same. Curious to know if anyone was sleep trained as a baby and whether they were good sleepers in childhood or are now?
