My DS has not sttn since I went to back to work about a month ago. I'm so tired that I having a rough time keeping alert at work. He sttn 10-12 hours straight from the time he was 2 months- 4months and has not since. Anyone experience this? I first thought it the 4 month wakeful, then the teething, now a growth spurt. Is there light at the end of my tunnel?

How do you feel about Sleep Training? Perhaps he needs some tough love.

DS STTN from 2 months-4 months, then stopped from 5-6.5 months.  Then started again until 8 months, stopped from 8-10 months.  Now has been STTN since 10 months. 

::fingers crossed::

My DD has slept through the night for months now and just stopped in the last few weeks.  She doesn't wake up everynight but it's getting more and more often.

I find that she's too busy to eat during the day and will refuse her bottle and then she realizes that she hasn't eaten enough during the day and will wake up at night to eat.

It also started once she started getting teeth.  I'm really hoping it's a phase.

Last night she woke up 5 times.  3 required giving her a paci, one required rocking her, and the other time I fed her.

DS was STTN  from end of January til about 3 weeks ago.  Like 10+ hours a night.  3 weeks ago, he started waking up once or twice a night.  And this past week has been hell.  He's seriously up 5 or 6 times a night.  That's more than he was ever up as a newborn.  I'm going to have to do some sort of sleep training... just not sure what to do.  All I know is that I can not handle this.

Mason started sttn right before I went back to work then I guess about a month ago he stopped.  He still isn't sleeping all night long he wakes up 3-4 times.  I am thinking that it's due to teething because he will wake up screaming like something is hurting him.  And, I know there is nothing wrong because we went to the Dr. to have it checked out.

I'm having a hard time with any CIO method. My heart cant take it right now.

To the OP, DS STTN from 6-9mos.  Now he's back to waking up again.  Since he turned 9mos, it's been constant teething.  I hope he starts STTN again soon!

I have a hard time with it too.  There are other methods out there that you can try without using CIO.  It doesn't work for us either.

You should never have to take it!  The way you feel is totally natural.  If this keeps up, you may want to read the No Cry Sleep Solution.  It's great - the only sleep training book that doesn't make me feel sad to read.

Have you looked at the no cry sleep solutions? Or can you do a mofified CIO out method. Sleep training doesn't always mean CIO. We do a modifed verison.

I guess I need to look into it more but from everything I've seen on the internet, the advice is basically what I am doing. He doesn't have a problem going down in the beginning of the night. We have bedtime routine and put him to sleep every night at 7:30pm drowsy but awake. He's sleep and lately has been waking atleast twice a night crying. I go in soothe him by walking with him or nurse him for 10-15 minutes and he goes right back to sleep. But last night almost killed me. He woke up 4 times and every time I would fall asleep, he would wake up again. My dh tries to calm him but doesn't have as much luck as me so I just get up most of the time. The waking also started when we stopped swaddling. I wish I could swaddle forever.
