I have the worst ones--and SO much worse since having kids!</p> <p>The best conbo I have found is:</p> <p>Smashbox High definition concealer<br /> and then Bare Minerals "well-rested for eyes" dusted under and over my eyes with a fairly fluffy eyeshadow brush. It really brightens them up! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489826 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:59:50 +0000 MrsBrewer 2489826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 9 months, and I'm still waiting for her to STTN...... :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489815 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:55:08 +0000 ineebee 2489815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep-trained at 5.5 months, then night-weaned around 6.5-7ish months and then he STTN with no wake-ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489629 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:52:42 +0000 littlebug 2489629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @oliviaoblivia: D was truly STTN by 10 or 11 weeks, albeit with occasional periods of disruption due to illness, growth spurt, whatever. A is 4 weeks old and waking up once around 3 or 4 for a quick feed and goes back down till 7:30 or 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489599 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:42:30 +0000 Happygal 2489599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: serious question: do you have a good under-eye concealer? I'm thinking a quality one could really help me out these days. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489571 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:31:04 +0000 brownepiano 2489571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: if he's used to eating more often he might not be too happy about it, but it made a big difference for a friend of mine who was having a similar problem. At that point my DS was nursing every 4 hours, as well as eating solids 3 times a day (but we did BLW so I'm not sure how much he was getting) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489493 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 05:03:11 +0000 Pumuckl 2489493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 11m when he suddenly started STTN.<br /> DD slept through the night from months 2.5-4/5 and then quit until she was a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489402 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 22:56:09 +0000 Portboston 2489402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: maybe I'll try that. I've got nothing to loose! </p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: You poor poor thing. I hope for Mother's Day you get a night in a hotel alone! (That's always been my wish for when I became a mom! Ha!)</p> <p>@lilyofthewest: 😟 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489340 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 21:30:06 +0000 lilyofthewest 2489340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still up 3-5x/night here at 10mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489330 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 21:20:58 +0000 hony bologna 2489330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months, sleeps from around 8pm-5.30am (but she has very low sleep needs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489296 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 20:37:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2489296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 months for #1 (and that was the very first time ever) and 15 months for #2. Still nursing 3+ times overnight with #3 who is 6 months old.</p> <p>I haven't slept in 4 years. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489288 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 20:28:06 +0000 brownepiano 2489288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS started sstt at 8 months but we did some rough CIO to get there because I was sick of the night snacking (and I could tell it was snacking). I tried to weaning him off (cutting down by minutes so I didn't have to pump), but eventually we just had to pull the plug. </p> <p>You could try feeding him less frequently during the day to make sure he's getting full feedings and not just snacking all day, then filling up at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489234 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 19:05:10 +0000 petitenoisette 2489234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 12 months and is still waking once sometimes twice a night. She slept pretty well until the 4 month sleep regression hit and then we had about 7 months of 5-6 wake-ups many nights (plus I went back to work and have to get up by 5:30 am every day). So this mama understands your fatigue! </p> <p>We finally did some sleep training so now I am thrilled with just once most nights. Plus she is a tiny tot so I do not want to not feed her if she's just getting up once or twice. No plans to wean so we'll see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489177 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 17:54:55 +0000 Portboston 2489177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: absolutely. I know it could be way worse! I'm hoping he drops it soon though. Or maybe goes down to one. That would make this mama happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489145 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 17:23:14 +0000 mrswin 2489145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: well at least he isn't treating it like play time! It may be that he just needs the food right now, I'm sure he will eventually drop it on his own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489116 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:58:24 +0000 Portboston 2489116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: those boys love the boob! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489096 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:48:19 +0000 winniebee 2489096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: it baffled me because he did not nurse to sleep. Nursed him wiiiide awake before bed. Even when we were just down to once before bed, he woke for it. And even a few weeks after we weaned he woke for a bottle! Then decided not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489094 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:45:42 +0000 Portboston 2489094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: he's about 20ish lbs right now and eats every ~2 hours during the day. Sometimes a bit longer if we're out and about. I've tried feeding him more often &amp; less often and neither seemed to make a difference in his night sleep.</p> <p>Eta- I do think he is waking to eat. He seems to take a full feed and immediately go back to sleep. He doesn't try to play at all and refuses to go back to sleep unless I feed him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489091 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:43:38 +0000 mrswin 2489091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: How much is he eating during the day? How much does he weigh now?</p> <p>ETA: there are some big leaps and developmental changes between 7 and 10 months so you may not get a consistent patter until after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489090 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:42:55 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2489090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 weeks for 6pm to 7am. I was dying for the first couple of days that he skipped the 4 am feeding, almost wanted to wake him at 6am so that I would stop hurting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489089 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:42:36 +0000 Portboston 2489089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I don't think so but my dude wouldn't make it with only one nap. I'd much prefer one long nap over two hour-ish naps though. Makes making plans a lot tougher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489088 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:40:47 +0000 youboots 2489088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: is that something people strive for? It happened one day on a fluke, she STTN and we never looked back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489085 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:38:58 +0000 Portboston 2489085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrswin: yes! I recently changed our routine too. Nursing was at the end and is now at the beginning. He seemingly developed object permanence over night and was waking every 3 hours. I was loosing my mind. He's much better now that I'm not nursing him to "almost asleep". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489081 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:36:24 +0000 Portboston 2489081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: one nap at 9m?! That's impressive!!!</p> <p>@winniebee: once a night is manageable. I could totally deal with once a night. And my guy gets up pretty early too. Between 6-7. If he went to bed closer to 7, I just leave him in his crib until 7 and he'll usually fall asleep again for a little bit.</p> <p>I guess the consensus for most babes is weaning = STTN. Damn boobs. Why are you so addictive?!? I want to wean at 12 months but I have a feeling my dude will want to go past that. He is a huge comfort nurser. Maybe I should tell him I'll nurse him as long as he wants if he starts STTN. that might work 😜😂😭😭😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489075 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:33:35 +0000 mrswin 2489075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: Mine dropped the 5am feed around 9 months when I was home over Christmas break and we upped her solids. She only started sleeping through 8pm to 6:30 or 7am around 10.5 months. We were still dealing with lots of 5am wakes ups and I read somewhere (maybe on Preciouslittlesleep) that some babies wake early in the morning looking for comfort becaus that is a very light sleep phase. I had to switch up our bedtime routine to be book, nursing, pjs, song and then sleep because before nursing was the last thing before sleeping and even though she was awake when we put her in the crib she was waking early in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489067 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:30:34 +0000 winniebee 2489067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: LOL! Mooooost nights after like 6 months it was just once a night to eat. But the kicker was he was always up for the day early on top of that. Like 530 or 6! And to think we've decided to do this a third time.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489065 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:30:22 +0000 youboots 2489065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Regularly at 9 mo when we dropped to one one nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn/page/2#post-2489060 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:28:28 +0000 MrsB2012 2489060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was blessed with 2 unicorns. #1 started at 10 weeks and #2 at 16 ( so I voted 4-6 months, just barely.) However, my toddler now wakes up every night ( this is a new thing.) We think it's nightmares but we don't know for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn#post-2489052 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:23:48 +0000 tofuwad 2489052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is making me feel better. My 7.5 month old still wakes 3-4x per night. She puts herself to sleep for naps and night and goes down without a problem. I've tried several night weaning techniques just to drop one of the feedings and they have all been huge failures! Good to know I'm not alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-ebf-baby-sttn#post-2489020 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 15:59:56 +0000 Trailmix 2489020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20.
