Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Light at the end of my sleep tunnel?

I did a gentle CIO last night.  Put T in his crib and sat with my hand on him for 3 hours while he fussed and figured out how to fall asleep without nursing and not in my bed. He did it!  He had all his naps in there today and tonight went down to bed at 630 and is still there! I don't know what to do with all this time --honestly!

I'm sure regressions will come and go but I NEVER in a million years thought this day would come. T would not sleep unless being held or nursing, it was getting ridiculous.

A big turning point for us was using his crib for play time for a few days....we created a positive association.  We are far from STTN but this is a huge leap forward for us.

Anyways, I know some of you are struggling and I have shed so many frustrated tears about our sleep issues, I had to share and I hope someone can feel encouraged.

  • Yay! I am glad you are having success. We are in the midst of some major sleep issue now and I feel hopeless. Your success makes me feel much better!
