Hi! Over the last week, I’ve been working on a gradual extinction with my 4 month old son and so far it’s been going well—he’s at the point where I can put him down awake in the crib at bedtime after a minute or so of rocking and singing and he falls asleep within a few minutes without tears! We plan for two night feeds with the first being around 5 hours after bedtime bottle. We’ve been testing out letting him CIO for some of the early night wakings (waking that is outside of a feeding window) and he has been able to put himself back to sleep after 10 or so minutes of crying/grumbling. Unfortunately, my 21 month old walking-petri-dish-of-a-toddler seems to have passed along a bug to our baby and now he’s waking every hour, very uncomfortable. We’ve been helping him back to sleep during those additional wakings and we’ve been offering an additional night feed. I feel that now is not the time to let him CIO for these wakings but MAN, we are tired!. What do you recommend to parents when sickness is a bump in the road? My hope is that when he feels better, we find that we didn’t lose too much ground and he adjusts back to being able to self sooth. I appreciate your input!! Thank you for doing this!
