Do you follow the method (same as bedtime) each time they wake up in the night?
Also: according to ferber, can you alternate on and off who does each check?
-
I do not know the answer to this, but bumping for you! Hopefully someone can help.
-
Bumping again because I was wondering about this last night.
-
You do begin the checks over again with each night waking. Also, I believe it says that you should have the same person do the checks for one waking, but you could have someone else do the next waking.
-
I've heard its sometimes better for the husband to do checks because LO can smell the milk from mommy and will want to nurse.
-
The book says anyone can do it and yes you do each wake. Are you starting this? It worked wonders for us!
@littlek: I agree! However in our case y husband was too soft and his checks always resulted in him returning to our bedroom with LO in tow

@Rainbow Sprinkles: How did it go?
-
Last night was night #2 of ferber and she only cried for 19 minutes at bedtime!
Her first wakeup wasnt until 4 am (!!!!!) At which I pulled her in bed with me and nursed her. She woke up at 8 am !!Success!!!!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Holy cow, that's amazing! Did you decide to do checks or just let her cry?
-
@winniebee: well there wasnt any night wakings to do checks at (at least not any where she made noise)! She didnt wake til 4 which is when I brought her in bed to feed her.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: how long did she stand up and cry before laying down? Would you put her down yourself?
-
That's awesome!! Yea! I'm sure you loved getting some real sleep at night.
