help! 3 week old STILL not sttn...

Califlorida

haha, kidding. flashback to 0-3 anyone? 

but seriously, i do wish Penny's 3am-8am cluster feeding/epic bowel struggles would move to a more enlightened hour.  we iz tired over here.

but again, kidding.  not looking for sttn advice or help.  i know how the sarcasm meter can be wonky over here.

4 month old not STTN here.  :-)

Well, Brendan started STTN at 3 days because we decided that CIO was our only option.  After all, he was MANIPULATING us!!!  You better nip that in the bud!  You're 2 1/2 weeks too late!

She sounds manipulative.

Parks2Be

I don't understand why you haven't started CIO yet.  Clearly you don't love your child.

Did you lose your copy of Babywise?

Cluster feeding???  I thought you were supposed to make them wait 3 hours between feedings!

userdeleted

Well you must be spoiling her

smiling76

LOL

that's ok---I have an almost 19 month old that doesn't STTN yet either.  It sucks and mama izzzzzzz tired!

Fordlor

Clearly, you are spoiling her.  You better knock that off.  Otherwise, you create bad habits.  CIO!  CIO! CIO!

I have a good friend who just took her 8 week old in for his 2 mo. appt.  I shiit you not, the pedi told her 2-4 months was the best time to start sleep training and her kiddo did not need to be fed but every 6 hours at this age/weight. 

I told her to find a new pedi.

4 hours.  duh.

and PP is right, you're missing the optimal window to train her.  it's all about you, not her.  don't let her manipulate you!

DS2 didn't STTN until he was 11 months old.  If it helps (probably not, b/c it didn't make me feel much better!!)  try to remember that they nurse just as much for comfort as they do b/c they are actually hungry.......that is part of the reason bf babies want us so much at night.  Doesn't help the exhaustion, but helps put in perspective a bit.

Have you spun your LO around clockwise 3 x's yet? I hear it helps;)

And stop holding her. You're creating a lifetime of dependency.

Amrice78

babies aren't supposed to be dependent on their mamas - go to sleep and ignore her, she'll get the idea

Echowysp

Geez, who's the boss is that house?  She sounds spoiled.

Oh, and we're on 15 month without STTN.  :-(

Thank you for the giggle...I needed it!

And don't laugh ladies, I have read a few 'Babywise/CIO' posts on the 0-3 board...Needless to say, I don't go on there much. 

MrsKellyOrBust

People would probably take you seriously on 0-3 and 3-6 and offer sound CIO advice. VERY different from when I was on those boards the first time.

Maybe you should just tape her eye lids closed, this way if she wakes up she will think she is still asleep.

I was like huh?  LOL! My 20 month old still wakes up at night and wants us to sleep with him.
