Anyone else in the process right now? We are a few nights in.
-
Not doing it right now, but just wanted to say hang in there!! we did at 8 months with DD and it was the best thing we ever did for everyone's sleep! So hard but so worth it. Hope tonight is going well for you guys!
-
Good luck! We did it a few months ago and it was so so hard but made such a difference in all of our happiness.
-
Thanks! Last night was the first night she fell asleep in under 15 minutes and no crying. We have our nephew staying here for a few nights during spring break so his parents can get some work done on their house and I was worried she would cry and cry.
-
Good luck. We need to with DD but have not yet; I do not really know why but alas.
-
@jetsa: I finally got sick of not having any alone time with DH at night. It's taken longer for DD2 but DD1 was so fast about it.
-
@Finfan: Yeah we did with DS at 10 months and it was great. He was a bad bad sleeper (still getting up 4-5 times a night). DD (11 months) is for the most part good sleeper, she normally gets up 0-2 times (normally 2) and so we keep putting it off because she is sick or teething or whatever but she was up 3 times last night and wanted to get up at 4:30. I need to just bite the bullet but just haven't yet. It worked super quick for DS, I can see sis not being that way.
-
I'll be here in about a month. My 3 month old is still getting up 3-4x a night. We sleep trained my 3 year old at 9 months which was way too late. Once I get the okay from my ped at DS's 4 month appt, sleep training here we come!
-
@finfan: how is it going? I think we need to sleep train soon... I just keep putting it off cus id prefer to only do it once!
-
@AggieDaze: we are making some progress. I'm hesitant to jinx anything but we are down to her putting herself to sleep in about 10-20 minutes after we leave with minimal fussing so I'm calling it a win. It did take longer than it did with her sister. This LO still wakes up looking for her paci 1-2 times a night but I just pop it back in and we both go back to sleep. Will probably start trying to do something about that next.

Hi! I feel like we have been in the process of sleep training for 2 months. We started the CIO method at 7 months to get her to fall asleep on her own. That was successful, but we still cannot get rid of night wakings! She is waking 2-3 times a night. I have no idea what to do to get rid of those! Ped just says they will "hopefully go away in their own." Okay....but WHEN?! Mama needs some sleep!
-
@Finfan: what are your plans to stop the night wakings for the paci?
-
@schubr03: Is she eating at night?
I have no idea about the paci. She's not super dependent on it so I might let her fuss about it longer. Right now DD1 and DD2 are both sleeping in our room since their rooms are being painted so I can't let the baby fuss because it might wake up big sister. The baby goes to bed first thankfully.
-
@Finfan: yes. Usually just once, but lately (just getting over being sick) I've had to nurse her to even get her to calm down.
-
@Finfan: glad to hear it's going well!! Fingers crossed for continued success!
-
@schubr03: Ahhh. I bottle fed both babies so no nursing advice but I hope you can find a way!
-
@peaches1038: thank you!!
-
We're retraining our 7 month old starting tonight! He was STTN, but we had a few weeks of problems with his reflux meds, so I got in the habit of nursing him all night again. Poor kid went to bed just fine at 7, but is awake screaming now.
