Right now he's only going 3.5-4 hours between wake ups, which is worse than it was when he was 2 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-sleep-training-goals#post-673936 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:42:43 +0000 Weagle 673936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For her to be able to put herself to sleep and to get rid of night wakings. It was fine when she woke up to eat, but it got to where she was waking, not really eating, then freaking out for an hour. She had previously consistently slept 10+ hours, so we knew she could do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-sleep-training-goals#post-673933 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:41:52 +0000 Springtime 673933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same! Just for him to know how to go back to sleep on his own, without being rocked or fed. Our main goal was not STTN, I didn't mind waking up to feed him in the middle of the night, as long as I didn't have to rock him for 45 minutes for him to go back to sleep.</p> <p>Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since we started sleep training and he has STTN 3 times, and only one wakeup the other nights. He now knows that its sleep time and barely lets out a whimper when he has to go down. I call that success! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-sleep-training-goals#post-673917 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:38:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 673917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course I’d love him to sleep for an uninterrupted 12 hours, but my main goal in sleep-training was for him to fall asleep in his own crib instead of in my arms/in my bed. And to not wake up every hour. </p> <p>I have no problem getting up with him 1-2 times a night (although lately the 5-6 times from 3am on is getting draining). Last night was good, though...he slept for 14 hours (!!) with only two wake-ups, one before we went to bed and once at a very reasonable hour (around 8am). </p> <p>It's probably not the ideal for most people, but getting him to learn to put himself to sleep in his own crib was a HUGE win for us. </p> <p>What were your sleep-training goals? </p>
