What time is bedtime?: 7:30

Do they STTN? 50% of the time
If not, how many times do they wake? 1x between 2-4 am to eat
What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): paci, rub back, eat and back down. We did sleep train around 4.5 months (after the 4mwf) and he did well until a couple of weeks back when he realized he can sit up/standup in bed... now we are letting him cio at night again, last night he was up until 8:30!

[ladygrey]

9 months

Bedtime at 8:00 pm / wake-up between 7:30-8:00 am

Yes, thanks to our recent success with Ferber! She used to wake up 1-2 times a night - not horrible, but still disruptive (I was going in to nurse her back to sleep at each wake-up). After 4 nights of Ferber checks, she finally started sleeping 12 hours without a peep. If I would have known how smoothly the sleep training would have been, I would have done it sooner.

[Deleted]

How old is your LO?: 11 mos

What time is bedtime?: Between 7:30pm-8:30pm

What time are they awake for the day? Between 7:30am-9am

Do they STTN? Yes. Well, she usually wakes up at 10 or 10:30pm to play for 30 minutes

If not, how many times do they wake?

What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): At 10:00 we get her up and let her play for 1/2 an hour. Anything past midnight, we let her cry for a few minutes and she almost always puts herself back down. If she's sick all of this goes to hell.

My dd is the same but a few nights it been more. She has two teeth already and swollen tooth gums so I'm not sure if teething is contributing to wake ups. I'm wondering if I'm creating habits and I should sleep train or if this is a phase.

What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): If he wakes to eat he usually falls asleep while eating.  If he wakes and he has peed through his pajamas I change him and lay him down and he babbles for a bit then falls asleep on his own.  He hasn't woken up crying in about 2 months.  He will usually let out a yelp and I get up since he still sleeps in the PNP in our room.

Do they STTN? Usually yes
If not, how many times do they wake? These days, once if she does wake up at all
What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): I nurse her and she goes right back to sleep. I should note that we did Ferber at 5.5 months because the hourly wakeups had been killing us, so this is all fairly new after her sleep started going to shit at 3.5 months. I did not expect Ferber to enable her to STTN, I only wanted to reduce the 6+ wakeups to 1-3 wakeups a night.

We're going to transition to the crib this weekend.  He's got a good routine going, so I'm afraid to interrupt it.

[glauren]

How old is your LO?:
 6 months next week
What time is bedtime?:
 7-8pm
What time are they awake for the day?:
 5-6am
Do they STTN?
: Negative. Although he did STTN last Friday for the first time EVER! My H accidentally woke him up when he checked to make sure he was breathing.
If not, how many times do they wake?
 Anywhere from 1-4 times
What do you do to get them back to sleep?: He'll typically only wake to eat - so we'll feed and rock/pat/hold him upright for 15 minutes (he has reflux). About 50% of the time he'll wake up about 90 minutes after he's gone to bed because he's spit up So we'll clean him off and, if it's my H that goes in, rock/pat/shush until he falls asleep. Nursing him is the only thing that works if I go in.

What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): If he wakes that means he isn't feeling well, so I nurse him back to sleep.

[rex]

How old is your LO?: 6m

What time is bedtime?: 630p.

What time are they awake for the day?: 615-630. I get her at 7 but I might start getting her earlier because she sometimes falls back to sleep and then doesn't like to nap.

Do they STTN? yes.

If not, how many times do they wake?: N/A

What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): If she has trouble falling asleep for some odd reason I soothe without picking her up. I usually hold her hand and rub her back.

[biogirl21]

12 weeks

Usually around 9

Wakes up around 6:30-7

Haha, I don't think he'll ever STTN

3 wake ups last night, although we could have probably gotten up at the 6:30 wake up but I was still tired so he went down for 45 more minutes. Sometimes he's up as many as 5 times(every 2 fucking hours)

I usually feed after trying to bounce him in the bouncy seat he sleeps in. Occasionally that will put him back to sleep but it hasn't happened in weeks.

[ktw]

How old is your LO?: 8 months next week
What time is bedtime?: 7
What time are they awake for the day?: between 6-7:30
Do they STTN?  Sort of, and only for the last 3 weeks
If not, how many times do they wake? Usually once between 4-6, I feed her and lay her back down
What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up ): if before 4, I'll usually check her to make sure nothing's wrong, then do Ferber/CIO. We Ferbered at 4.5 months to stop her every 45-90 minute wakings, and have gone through various patterns/re-trainings since then.

11 months
Bedtime is between 6:30 and 7:00
Awake for the day between 5:45 and 7:00
Most of the time - I'd say 4/7 days of the week he STTN
Usually once
I've been having DH go in to give him the paci or else I'll nurse (trying to stop the MOTN feeding).

[gibbinator]

I want to participate because it's slow I'm going to answer for what it was like at 12 months :-)

Tell me:

How old is your LO?: 12 months
What time is bedtime?: 8pm
What time are they awake for the day?: 5:30am
Do they STTN? No
If not, how many times do they wake? 1 or 2
What do you do to get them back to sleep? Nurse or pat & shush

[osulori]

How old is your LO?: 8.5 months

What time is bedtime?: Between 7:15-7:45. Tonight, I put him in his crib around 7:20.

What time are they awake for the day?: Usually 930ish. But that's with me getting him between 7-8a for a quick diaper change and nurse, then putting him back in bed b/c I'm either going to work or on a run. He goes back to sleep after, but for how long varies. On average I'd say around 930a.

Do they STTN? More often than not, yes.

If not, how many times do they wake? On the nights he doesnt STTN it's usually once, maybe twice if he's sick

What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): If he's just talking or fussing I'll leave him be and sometimes he goes back to sleep within 30 minutes, but if he goes longer than that or starts to get pissed I'll go in and take him to do laps around the upstairs with some back patting and singing. After 15 mins or so I try to put him back down, and if he doesn't go for it I'll usually give him a little bit of ibuprofen and repeat the walking/patting/singing process for another 15 mins. that generally does the trick, because if the first round of walk/pat/sing is a no go it's because he's sick or teething and uncomfortable anyway.

[bunch]

How old is your LO?: 9.5 mos
What time is bedtime?: 7:30 since the end of dst
What time are they awake for the day?: 7ish
Do they STTN? No. Like 5 times ever
If not, how many times do they wake? Once between 4 and 5
What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): I feed her. She goes right back down. If she wakes before 4 I let her CIO. It rarely happens and she goes back down within a few mins.

[BaliHai]

How old is your LO?: 4 months tomorrow.
What time is bedtime?: Between 6 and 7pm.

What time are they awake for the day?: Around 6am.

Do they STTN?: Nope.

If not, how many times do they wake?: Twice.

What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.): Feed. I feel weird even saying she "wakes up" because she really doesn't... she stirs because she's hungry, but she never opens her eyes - she dream feeds and then she goes back down immediately. Our pediatrician told us we need to start feeding her more throughout the day so she'll start STTN, but we have yet to figure out how to get her to do that without wasting formula, and that crap is too expensive to be pouring down the drain on a daily basis!

[wilbs]

How old is your LO?:
almost 9 months
What time is bedtime?:
Between 7-7:30
What time are they awake for the day?: Between 6:30-7:30

Do they STTN?
Depends. Sometimes he wakes anywhere between 4:30-6 for a bottle. If he eats then, he will sleep until 7:30ish. If he doesn't, he is up by 6:30. DH and I switch off on feeding him and it's a quick wake up. I actually prefer when he wakes up on those days when I don't work as we get to sleep in a bit.
If not, how many times do they wake?
1
What do you do to get them back to sleep?(CIO, feed, hold and soothe, soothe without picking up etc.):
We sleep trained at 6ish months with CIO. We tried Ferber, but the checks did not work for us as they upset him even more. He would cry for about 10ish minutes and go back to sleep.

[Deleted]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand this is why I NEVER comment in sleep threads. It's bad luck!!! My great little sleeper is still awake after screaming in her crib both times we tried to put her down.

NEVER AGAIN!!!
