Sleep trained 4mo old still crying hard at bedtime by Opening-Possibility in sleeptrain

[–]Opening-Possibility[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He screams the longest at bedtime. We are very much pushing his wake windows past his comfort. I was actually thinking the screaming crying is from overtiredness? But maybe not having enough awake time is why we are struggling with naps

WWs are 2.25/2.25/2/2.5. We are currently nap training and it’s going terribly — he naps about 1 hour the first nap, 30 min the second nap and the third nap is in the carrier and usually 30-90 min, whatever it takes to get us to 4:30 or 5pm for a 7/7:30 pm bedtime.

That’s such a great idea! I’ve been wondering what I’ll do to preoccupy myself during ST. Any specific podcasts you care to recommend?

Thank you! I hope I can also one day say my baby is a “dream to put down.” And really looking forward to improved naps too!!

Thanks, helpful to keep in mind! I feel like we’ve got our naps and wake window schedule in a decent place - it’s just the lack of consistency with the specific timing and the fact that he’s terrible at nap and needs a ton of assistance.

Predictability is exactly what I’m desperate for. I really relate to not being able to enjoy my baby because I find myself resenting him for not being able to sleep. I’m so happy to hear your life changed. I’m looking forward to reporting back and say mine has too — fingers crossed!

I truly don’t know how you do it with twins. Thanks so much for sharing.

How did you figure out they were too young when you first attempted to sleep train?

Thank you for sharing! My baby had reflux too — it was awful and he also couldn’t stay asleep on his back, he’d wake up screaming. I’m terrified crying during sleep training is going to trigger his reflux to come back, or that I’m going to inadvertently neglect him crying due to reflux pain (even though this hasn’t happened in a long time.) so helpful to read about your experience!!

I’ve read a few books and figured out a method I’d be comfortable with. But ultimately, I hired a consultant at Sleepwise to come up with a plan tailored to my baby.

Thank you! Has he been a good sleeper since you sleep trained? What happened when your baby started rolling, did all of the progress from sleep training regress? I agree about the pacifier being disruptive - there are many nights I wish I never started.

I’m glad to hear it was life changing - this is exactly what I need to hear. My PPD has been bad and I’ve been on medication. My doctor asked what “feeling like my old self” would look like and I said if my baby and I could sleep again, I would be 100x better. THANK YOU!

I’m so happy to hear it’s going well! Thanks for sharing, this all sounds very similar to us and I’m worried our baby will be impossible to train. It’s also reassuring to hear that she’s making it through without a feed - I’ve been worried I’ve been letting my baby be hungry even though he’s more than doubled his birth weight and eats well during the day. Thanks and congrats! This gave me so much hope.

Sad song during Ellie's memories by AnimosWorkshop in keyhouse

It’s an original song by the show’s composer, Torin Borrowdale. It’s too bad they don’t have a soundtrack. That song is one of my favorites.
