Anyone else still not STTN?

in May 2011 Moms

Am I the only one whose LO still isn't STTN?

We had her down to only water for a few months, but that didn't stop her from waking up to have it, and then she got roseola and since then is up screaming unless we gave her an actual bottle of milk (we've held out for up to 2 hours only giving her water, then gave up). So now we're back to milk at night. Crying And not just once. She was down to 1-2x/ night and is now back to 2-3x.

    Oh Kelly, I would challenge anyone to tell me their sleep/night time situation is worse than mine. We Bedshare and nurse LO all through the night. And God help me if I don't give him the boob or it's a meltdown. On a good night he's up maybe three times and on a bad night I don't know, maybe every hour? Oh and our bedtime has become hell as well. DS has never, ever, slept over 5 hours in a row.

    You're not alone.  We tried Ferber, it was a bust.  Tried No Cry Sleep Solution, another fail.  Tried Sleep Lady Shuffle, no dice.  I have a very stubborn little girl on my hands.  She does get it from both of us. :)  We are still bed sharing because of all this, nursing all night long.  Sometimes up every 45 minutes, sometimes she sleeps for 3 hours in a row.  We are going to try Jay Gordon night weaning method soon, when DH is home at night.

    M has a screaming wake the entire house...there are 3 other adults beside hubby and me in this house all light sleepers...fit if I don't give him booby at least 3 times a night. And often he will sit up giggle and crawl for a while I make him nurse and after some kicking, fiddling, and squirming he'll go back to sleep.
    Every night.

    While I'm really sorry there are others going through it, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought we were doing so well when we were just down to water, but it seems like every little cold or illness throws us back to square 1. And compared to what some of you are describing, I shouldn't complain too much. She has STTN probably about 8 times since May, so it's not a "never" situation, just a very, very rare occasion when she does STTN.

    And since some of you were talking sleep training, Ferber worked wonders for us for the sleep association stuff, so I had high hopes with the night weaning, but it was a bust. We'll be trying it again when we get back to Germany. No use before then - we'll be going back in 2 weeks and will pretty much have to re-set her sleep schedule anyway.

    Sorry to hear that your DD isn't STTN. My DS doesn't either. I completely weaned him and he still wakes up a few times a night on a good night.

    Honestly, I'm glad that I'm not the only one either. I know so many people IRL whose babies STTN and they have since birth. Grrr.

    I feel like some babies just don't adjust well to any changes. We were starting to have some progress with the Dr. Gordon method then we moved and bam back to the beginning, the he was sick...and it's always the littlest things!

    My LO doesnt sleep through the night either. She has only about 5x since birth. We do co-sleep and some days she will only wake up once for a bottle and sometimes 2-3x....I have been debating if i should try to give her water in place of the milk but the times ive tried giving her half a bottle she screams and throws a fit like shes starving. Idk if she really is hungry or its habit. Ugh i just want to sleep!

    Absolutely. I told DH that if she's still not STTN by the time this LO comes, he's going to have to be completely responsible for her at night since there's no way I'll be able to be getting up with both of them and still be able to function during the day. We may try more hard-core sleep training in about a month when we get back home (here we live with my parents and they work, so I don't want to disturb them too much).

    We're on and off here.  About once a week she'll sleep all night, but most nights she's up once or twice.  I've been trying to wait and see if she'll go back to sleep, but three minutes is the longest I've been able to go.  I'd love to start sending DH in to her to see if he can calm her, but 1) I'd have to wake his zombie butt up anyway and 2)  either he'll wind up bringing her to me anyway or not sleeping for two hours and be a total grouch in the morning.  I'm taking the path of least resistance since DD nurses and goes right back to bed - it's ten minutes out of my night instead of the hours it could be.  I've had some people comment that she "should" be sleeping through the night, but from the sounds of it, we're in good company, and pretty darn lucky that we get the ocassional night!

    My LO still doesn't sleep through the night either. She goes down at 7pm in her crib fine but is usually up by 12 or 1 and then sleeps with us the rest of the night. I haven't been able to find a way to calm her down to get her to stay in the crib the whole night. We don't feed her a bottle or sippy when she wakes up. I can tell that she doesn't want milk but that she just wants to sleep with us :(

    Lord have mercy we FINALLY got her to STTN at 14 months! Our pediatrician had a come to Jesus meeting with us about letting her cry it out, she told us we were our own worst enemy but giving her what she wanted. When she got up the first time we would go in to reassure her, then just let her CIO until she fell asleep again. It was miserable, but by night #3 she didn't make a peep and hasn't since then! :) Good luck mama!
