If he seems to be calming down I won't go in. </p> <p>This is the first night and he cried for 20 minutes! Much better than I thought. I just worry about how he will do during middle of the night wake ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-to-pass-time-during-cio#post-645901 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:57:05 +0000 betsyboop 645901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cooked dinner and just told myself to trust our doctor, and tried to remember all the conversations I had with my mommy friends who had done CIO and said their babies were so much happier and well rested. It's hard though! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-to-pass-time-during-cio#post-645892 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:52:44 +0000 bunnylove08 645892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh bought me noise canceling headphones. I plan on using them when we start to sleep train her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-to-pass-time-during-cio#post-645876 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:48:57 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 645876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So hard, right? I used to run down the stairs so quick so I wouldn't hear him haha<br /> Anyways--LO doesn't cry anymore and when he did it was short...so I was able to shower or something. In fact, I would plan things during his CIO...take out the trash, run on the treadmill, shower....<br /> Do you do extinction or internal visits?<br /> For us we visited him every 10 mins...so I would do something for 10 mins and then when I'd go in, he would calm down immediately and usually the next time I was scheduled to go in, he'd be asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-to-pass-time-during-cio#post-645868 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:43:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 645868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Watch tv. It doesn't faze me that much anymore because they cry such a short time now. They know the deal. :)</p> <p>Good luck! I know it's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-to-pass-time-during-cio#post-645862 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:40:37 +0000 Springtime 645862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate listening to my baby cry. Trying to find things to get my mind off it. What did you do to pass time? </p>
