Doing CIO a second time?

[rugbywife]

Anyone had to do this? We did it first at 5 months. All of a sudden, now at just over a year, she won't go down without screaming. A couple of times DH laid with her in our bed for a while, last night I laid on the floor of her room and rubbed her back and said shhh a lot. Lol

Any thoughts? I have done one 3 minute check in. She was so hot and sweaty from screaming. Sigh. Issue being, at some point in the next two weeks or so the ILs might have to put her to bed and I don't want it to be a BF ordeal. So back to CIO?

DH is second guessing CIO. Thinks she is too worked up, which I might agree with but at the same time, I don't see the alternative long term. I am kind of at a FML point with this with the idea of having this and a NB.

We had to do sleep lady shuffle the second time around, around 14 months (12-14 was awful for us, btw). CIO didn't work once she was more aware of her surroundings and had opinions.

I don't know if this is what I did but I gave up on CIO because she was completely hysterical. I laid on her floor again. Not as long as yesterday. My goal is to do it for less and less time
I guess.

We have redone Ferber a couple of times. If there's any chance it's teething, I'd dose up with Motrin first.

The most recent round at 20 months involved a loooooooot of crying.

I questioned the teething thing but she doesn't get any during the day and is fine (she is teething though). Then I just feel like I am drugging my child to sleep.

Teething pain tends to be worse at night, apparently. I usually try motrin just in case because if motrin = sleep, then it probably was pain, you know?

True. Typically I had been giving it too late. Tomorrow I will give her some at 6 and see if it helps at bed time at 7.

Just in here to commiserate with you. I give her Motrin sometimes but it doesn't seem to do jack shit.

And by liking it I mean I dislike that you are stuck in this shitty place with me.

We are almost a week in CIO a for the first time with DD at almost 13 months, because like you we will have another NB soon and the thought of MOTN wake ups for two sounds miserable. I know not totally avoidable but I'm trying to make it better.

I don't have anything to add about CIO but we don't usually give DD any advil during the day but she gets it pretty much every night. Her teeth don't seem to bother naps but they bother her at night.

I would try the Motrin and see if it helps. My LO isn't really bothered by his teeth during the day but has a really hard time with sleeping when he's teething. We used the Sleep Lady Shuffle the sleep train and really liked it.

We've def had to redo cio, as others have said give meds in case teeth and try coo again. I'd do it regardless of new baby coming. There will always. Be an excuse. Nip it in the bud now!
