Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Anyone else REintroduce CIO to LO at this age?

We did sleep training many months ago and DD has always slept well.  But mama has decided that these late-night snacks are over, especially considering she only BFs 2x/day!  And I hope to be done in a month or two.  DD STTN about every other night... and lately I've been a sucker and just BFing her when she does wake up because it's SO EASY to just put her back down.  Last night I decided no more.  I still went to her, rocked her, laid her back down, she cried, I soothed/shushed, she cried, etc.  DH going in instead of me just made it worse.  She finally went back to sleep after an hour.  I know she knows how to put herself back to sleep because she does it all the time - but CIO just seems meaner in the middle of the night.  And we live in a condo and there's our neighbors to consider.

Anyone else do CIO all over again at this age to end night wakings?

  • If she is only snacking and is sttn other nights- I would absolutely do the same thing.  In fact, we do it now if B wakes at 5 which happens once in a while.   I am about to redo CIO for naps (every time I have thought about starting something comes up).  Once we are clear of his bday and party I NEED to do it so that when I wean he is already putting himself to sleep.  I think weaning without doing it would just be a double whammy on him so would prefer to separate the 2 things so I am not changing too much at once. (He nurses to sleep now)
