@Adira: STTN so he doesn't wake at all? I always wonder because medically they say at this age STTN is a 6-8hr stretch I think

@FaithFertility: that's what sttn is for us. I put her in her crib at 7:30, and she doesn't need me till around 6. Although lately she's been waking up closer to 5 so we'll bring her in bed with us for the last hour or so too.

For those that have LO that self soothe how long don you let them try? With out then crying?
G will lay /play/fuss for 20-30 mins not crying do I just let her continue??? By that time I feel like she gets over tired and the nap window is out!?

So DH gets home after D is asleep. He actually only sees her on weekend due to his work schedule. So, when he came home, I was bathing B and he heard D cry. So he goes in and starts playing with her. I walked in and asked what he was doing, she's supposed to be sleeping. He sheepishly looked at me and said "she's my daughter, I'm a sucker."

We had a little play party from 2:30 - 4:00. Ugh! She was awake and just rolling and playing with her feet at 2:30 until after 3:00 when she decided to get mad. I tried to get her back to sleep but gave into the bottle around 3:30. She then thought it was play time again. I put her in our bed at 4:00 because I just wanted to sleep!

Has anyone lowered their crib already? She kept grabbing toward the front rail. I think we need to lower it to the mid level this weekend.

@MamaG: Ugggh those are the worst!! I don't know why they would think it's play time ever at that hour lol!

@FaithFertility: E will usually fall asleep after 10 minutes if he's not crying... We aren't on a schedule though so I just put him in the crib when he gets fussy and I know he's tired.

Last night was no good... He went to bed early at 7:30, up at 11:30, nursed, then 1 and I tried to let him cry/put himself back to sleep, comforted 3x and then have up and nursed at 2...I hate giving in because I think that sets us back but at the same time I'm not going to let him cry for that long... No sleep for him or me... This sleep training is no fun. ( it was last week while it worked!) It was pretty warm in our house last night so I hope it was just because of that and tonight we can get back on track.

@BandDmommy: DH was upset that E was sleeping early last night. Sucks when they don't get to see them/play with them every day.

@winniebee: Checking in on R and crib? Hopefully you guys are enjoying your day after a great night of sleep!!!!!!

@josina: @KayKay: I feel you. I have nothing to blame it on though haha!

@MamaG: That's interesting she wasn't a fan. Ryan is meh on solids. Yells for them and opens up big and wide but then spits out most of it and makes the most horrific face with peas. I guess he ingested some though b/c we had an interesting diaper today : ) Sorry about the shitty night

@snowjewelz: great appt!

@BandDmommy: super sweet!

@Adira: that's kind of a great schedule!

Last night was hell. I'm persisting with the crib....but without the swaddle R woke 3-4 times in the first hour and wouldn't settle. So I ultimately put him in the swaddle. But he woke like 10 times between 7:15 and 5:45 when he woke for the day. Wakings at 7:45, 8, 8:15, 830, 11, 1, 2:30, 3:45, 5:45. I put him in the R&P for that last stretch. He did take a 3 hour nap this morning in the R&P....

@winniebee: ohhh no!!!!! I'm so sorry!!!!

@snowjewelz: the crying.....I think my limit of full on crying is like 30 seconds

@winniebee: brutal night I'm sorry

@MamaG: We will be lowering the crib this weekend! he isn't sitting up yet but he rolls over to the side and pulls himself up! Scares me.

@snowjewelz: k is getting so big! We didn't have a 5 mo appt. Kind of wish we did just to see his stats. Ha.

Still crummy sleep here. And H is getting soooo close to army crawling. He scootches forward a teensy bit and is even getting up on his knee every now and then. Im doomed to have the kid that doesn't sleep and crawls early. Haha.

I gave him a slice of plum this morning. He just kind of licked it and drooled on it. Haha. But I think he liked it!

Officially in size 4 diapers. Where is my tiny newborn?!

@FaithFertility: Hahaha. Mine is maybe 5? I also think it depends on the cry. I can tell when she's just mad and it's not full on crying and I can handle that for longer, vs the intense cry where instincts would tell me to just go to her

@whenoceansrise: Who doesn't love a mommy paci Sometimes (never in the moment haha) I am secretly happy that my baby only wants me lol

@winniebee: well, it can only get better, right? (if i'm aware that saying this might jinx it, does that mean it's a reverse jinx?)

@FaithFertility: If J isn't crying and I know he needs to sleep I'll pretty much let him go as long as it takes! He's not one to just mess around and not cry though.

@BandDmommy: That schedule must to so hard for your DH (and for you!)

@MamaG: I don't think we'll lower the crib for a while. J still seems so far from sitting up!

@josina: No fun It's been warm in my kids' rooms the last few days too. I don't think it's helping the sleep!

@KayKay: I hope you got your triple nap after that night!

@winniebee: That's a horrific night. I'm so sorry

@theotherstark: Army crawling?! No way! And we're still squeezing J's monster thighs into size 2 diapers because we have so many of them left. We've had to start using the 3s at night.
