We didn't do CIO until he was 10.5 months, but since then, I've always been a softy if he's not feeling well. But as soon as he's on the mend, it's back to being tough. This has meant that there have been several occasions between then and now in which we've had to let him CIO a bit, but it's never long and he knows when we mean business now.

We did CIO at 3.5 months, LO is now 15.5 months.

Regression: never had one. If he wakes up, he goes back to sleep.

Teething: If it's bad, he gets teething tablets or Tylenol before he goes to bed.

Illness: Tylenol if needed, and we turn on the humidifier in his room. Once or twice it's been really bad and we either brought him into bed with us or let him sleep on us in the chair in his room.

The only really bad time we had was when he learned to pull up but couldn't figure out how to sit down. DH came home late one night and saw on the monitor LO standing up in his crib, not crying but just standing and looking around. He eventually got tired enough to go back down.

For the most part teething hasn't affected her sleep, since the 1st two. She will cry out in her sleep but go right back to sleep. There has been one night that she woke up at 4 hysterically crying and wouldn't go back to sleep unless in our arms since we CIO at 6 months.

We did CIO without really trying, she went down pretty good on her own. We've never had a sleep regression, she will wake up when teething & usually Aleve or Tyenol does the trick. When she wakes up she's usually whiney/talking to herself, not crying/upset. If she is very upset I'll go in and comfort her but usually she goes back to sleep within a few mintutes on her own. It's worse if I go in there becasue she thinks it's time to get up.
