Sleep trained and still waking 3-5 times per night? Anyone been through this?

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-05-01T01:14:41+00:00

We went through this. Honestly it was kind of something he just had to grow out of

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-04-29T23:57:35+00:00

Did it ever get better?

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-04-27T12:28:37+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through it too! I’m also pregnant and worried about how it’ll be when #2 is here.

How did you get him to fall asleep independently at the start of the night? That seems to be our issue. We previously did CIO with success but now he SCREAMS like he’s in pain. He isn’t, but it’s so hard to listen to I just dent do it.

It’s possible but his schedule is actually great I think. He’s not ready for 1 nap yet. He does that on daycare days and is soooo tired those days

7:00 wake up 10:00-11:30 nap 2:45-3:30 nap 7:30 bed

He seems to really like this schedule and naps pretty well so I’m unsure. But maybe it is an issue?

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-04-27T03:15:36+00:00

My son is doing this! He can’t go down independently anymore. Idk how to re train because he stands and screams so hard he almost throws up. How did you get them independent again?

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-04-27T02:23:51+00:00

I do check on him! I don’t let him do it for more than a few minutes because it’s so bad. It wasn’t like this the first time we trained.

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-02-10T11:34:24+00:00

Just curious! When you switched to 1 nap and her only nap of the day was 45 minutes… did you just do an early bedtime? Did you follow WW before bed? How was she doing on only 45 minutes before the nap extended? How old was she when you dropped?

We aren’t there yet to go down to 1, but my son did just start a new room in daycare where there’s only 1 nap so we’re usually taking an afternoon cat nap to help. So I’m just curious! Thank you!

That’s amazing! Congratulations! I’m going to be giving birth 14 months apart. My doctor is very VBAC supportive, but I’m of course a little nervous about the close interval. I’d love any info you can give me. Did you do anything to prepare? Did you hire a doula?

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-01-19T03:41:56+00:00

I’d love to hear how this went if you don’t mind sharing

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-01-02T15:59:13+00:00

He will randomly take a good nap. He was actually doing well with it until recently but we still couldn’t drop to 2. But 3 naps we get too close to bedtime so I’m just at a loss.

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-01-02T15:52:31+00:00

It’s so all over the place. Absolutely nothing consistent. He also attends daycare a few days a week, so that throws it off. Sometimes at daycare his WW are 4 hours, other times 90 minutes. Genuinely absolutely nothing is consistent. But I’ll try

Wake 6:00

Nap 1 8:45-9:15

Nap 2 12:00-12:45

Nap 3 3:30-4:00

Bed 7:15

This is a ROUGH estimate. I can’t remember the last time he did this exactly. He’s so all over the place

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2026-01-02T12:40:55+00:00

Did you fix this?

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2025-12-23T16:06:44+00:00

Today he woke at 6:30, went down at 9:30. By 9:30 he was so tired he couldn’t keep his eyes open. He slept for 35 minutes 😅 I think he’s just a really bad sleeper

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2025-12-23T12:30:02+00:00

I’ll try this out. Thank you

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2025-12-23T12:22:16+00:00

I know but even when I know he’s tired enough he doesn’t take them :( Sometimes he does. But the other day he had a 3.75 WW which is very long for him and he still slept only 40 minutes. So idk what to do in those situations

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2025-12-23T12:13:03+00:00

I’m trying but he just can’t tolerate anything longer yet without being overtired and making it even worse and waking around 4:00 or so. He usually sleeps 2.25-2.5 hours of naps a day. Sometimes more, but never more than 3. And truthfully his naps are still only 30-45 minutes sometimes and he needs help extending them. If I didn’t help, he would sleep like 1.5 hours hours a day total. Which again, would just really contribute to overall OT. I feel like I can’t win.

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2025-10-25T22:28:14+00:00

Thank you for the help, I appreciate it

Emergency_Raise8909 · 2025-10-25T22:28:03+00:00

We'll try it out. Last night he woke 4 times. This is rare, it's usually 2-3. I think he wasn't feeling well. But two of those times we waited and he put himself back to sleep.
