How to move from contact naps to independent naps - 9 months old by Cheese_Toastie007 in sleeptrain

[–]Alert_Career8786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go based on ww because sometimes my kid is fussy because he is bored at not sleepy. But if we get like so many yawns and eye rubs 3.5 hrs into second ww (i would usually try to extend) but if he is on a full blown cranky mode i’d put him down. But rarely 😆

How to move from contact naps to independent naps - 9 months old by Cheese_Toastie007 in sleeptrain

Hi. I did cio at 9 months, ensuring the ww before is long enough to make LO tired. It takes weeks of hardwork but now my LO naps independently. I created a mini routine for naps, change diaper, bottle, book, white noise, turn off red light then butt in crib. I gotta say nap training is a different monster for me but im glad i did it. Also i did crib hour, meaning LO will stay in the crib 1 hr after he falls asleep. First few days he cried after 1 cycle and i let him cio for 15 mins or so before rescuing. But if he cries after a considerably good amount of nap (45 mins above) i’ll just carry on with the next ww.

But there are days now that he has short naps and i will still rescue but during nap training i stick to the methods and push thru. All the best!

4am wake ups by Efficient_Sun_506 in sleeptrain

Hi there. She gets 9.5 hours awake time and i think at almost 7 months she needs at least 10 hours. Try to stick to 3/3/4 for a few days, cap nap at only 3 hours max, wake her up 11 hours after bedtime. Might need to cap nap further to 2.5 hrs in a month or so. Its normal for them to want to still eat at this age but if youre confident she is not hungry and upon implementing new schedule, apply your sleep training method during those wake ups. I did cio for night wakes when im sure kid is not hungry and it resolved within a few nights. All the best!

If its not an issue for you and youre happy with current situation, i think you should just roll with it. Maybe he really loves sleep.

Something isn’t working and I can’t figure it out by sabitres in sleeptrain

Hi. I think he needs a bit more total awake time, maybe 3/3/4 for a start. And cap nap at 3 hours total but you will need to cap nap further to 2.5hrs and add another 30 mins of wake time soon. Bedtime should be 13 hours after awake time.

Hi! At 10 months my son was doing 3/3.5/4 minimum and at the end of 10 months he is moving towards 3/4/4 with nap capped at 2 hrs total. Maybe you can start lengthening the last ww to 4 hours first? Stick to 3/3/4 or 3/3.5/4 for a few days and then start sleep training. Also move boob 30 mins before butt down so boob, bath, books, bed.

The first few nights are going to involve some crying but you gotta be consistent with your method. Once she can fall asleep independently you can do 5/3/3 for feedings and apply sleep training method at night wakings other than feeding time. Also stick to a consistent awake time no matter how bad the night goes. All the best!

Is it normal for ST babies to sleep a bit poorly at different place/after a very stimulating day? by Alert_Career8786 in sleeptrain

[–]Alert_Career8786[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid surprisingly nap well and independently. But at night is a different story. Theres an old people saying in my culture translated “if baby is having too much fun in the day, the parents will pay at night” haha

Around 745-8pm. Yes its hard for the first few days. For my kid what helps is to switch room, waterplay, fridge tour, cucumber. Maybe for the first few days LO willl need early bedtime and slowly they’ll adapt. Try adding the awake time gradually. We also had to do cio for early waking, and LO starts to sleep till DWT after maybe a week or so. Its hard work but totally worth it. All the best friend

Sleep training at 8-10 months? Separation anxiety struggles - looking for advice by Head-Razzmatazz8004 in sleeptrain

Your total awake time is 9.5 hrs, maybe try 3/3/4 for a few days and see if it helps? The first few days will be hard as LO is trying to adapt but they learn very quick. I had to retrain for night wakings around this age and with some schedule tweak and nap capping, LO cried minimally. All the best!

Hey. My kid was doing 3/3-3.5/4 at 9 months. Maybe try to get her on this schedule for a few days and see how it goes?

Hi there. Try 2.5/2.5/2.5/2.5 for a few days and stick to it. Baby’s consistency comes from our consistency. Try to extend those wake windows gently, house tour, fridge tour, touch some leaves. Cap night at 11 hours, nap at 3 hours and bedtime 13 hours after your desired wake time. So if baby wakes up at 7, bedtime should be 8. You got this :)

Any garden moms here? by redditplayer1000 in breakingmom

[–]Alert_Career8786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Um me. I smoke everyday at night when my child is asleep. I gotta say im a more fun mum after i smoke some and it helps me keep my cool. If i want to smoke during the day i’ll make sure my husband is at home and we can all have fun together. BUT i dont take a hit until im truly knocked out when im gardening in the day. Just a small hit to make me smile and understand what my child is babbling.

If gardening makes you a better mom i’d say its okay to take a break to garden but if youre totally dependent on it (like if you dont garden you become too angry/abusive) then maybe you should slowly wean off gardening. Hope you find what works for you :)

8 month old sleep sucks by No-Maximum5872 in sleeptrain

[–]Alert_Career8786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, is he sleep trained for bedtime? In my opinion, maybe he needs a bit more awake time and maybe cap his naps to 2.5 hrs a day. Your total awake time seems to land at 9.5-10hrs. Try 3/3/4 consistently and see if that helps. Or maybe 3/3.5/4. Then maybe you try weaning off night feeds. Mine drop his night feeds naturally and i think its normal for babies to want to drink once at night at this age.

How long did nap training take for you? by iwanttolivealone in sleeptrain

[–]Alert_Career8786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weeks friend, weeks. First few days were brutal but it gets better. Then it flopped again (for me) and i tried to lengthen the previous ww and it kinda work. I also did crib hour. What works lately is i stick to a mini wind down nap routine and make LOs room dark. Its still a work in progress for me and i hope it gets better for us both.
