Lack of sleep makes everything SO hard! Our little guy is only 7months but we've found that he is super attached to me so the only time I go to get him in the night is when he nurses between 2-3a. Otherwise my husband is the one to go in & can calm him back to sleep in less than 5 minutes, I feel bad making my husband do it but if I am the one to go in then babe will cry & wake up as soon as I set him down or leave the room. Then throw teething or illness in the mix and it is game over, no one gets any sleep!Rechellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837536083487499778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77142659919214585.post-54346075203118956582019-09-19T20:00:16.816-07:002019-09-19T20:00:16.816-07:00It is so good to hear that from someone else, actu...It is so good to hear that from someone else, actually. It is sooo hard! It's been proven that crying it out doesn't hurt them in the long run, but lack of sleep will, so you did the right thing! I am so glad it worked out for you guys. We are definitely going to begin some ST soon if things don't get better! <br />Thanks for your input.Adventures with Ella Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223211351075690387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77142659919214585.post-63266024151639275542019-09-19T08:15:00.244-07:002019-09-19T08:15:00.244-07:00I honestly didn't really do any research or an...I honestly didn't really do any research or anything, I tried staying in his room to get him to go back to sleep, tried going in every X amount of minutes but that made it worse, so we ended up doing the extinction method and honestly he cried for an hour the first night and it was the worst hour ever. I felt so awful but then the next night he literally cried for 10 minutes and went straight to sleep and then every night since hes been going to sleep on his own and when he wakes up, he puts himself back to sleep. I know that this isn't for everyone, I just wanted to share what worked for us. :) For us we felt like it was worth it because he wasn't getting enough sleep (and neither were we!) and we all couldn't function so it felt like a must for us. I hope this helps at least a little bit!Ashley Zinhoblhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112384533491795811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77142659919214585.post-19447977880980261202019-09-19T05:25:31.138-07:002019-09-19T05:25:31.138-07:00We haven't done any sleep training yet!

I honestly don't know if I can handle it! But it would seem based on her patterns that by me going to get her as soon as she wakes up, I have cemented this habit of waking up early for her. So I do think we need to do something. Which method of ST did you do?Adventures with Ella Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223211351075690387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-77142659919214585.post-37778518449652198442019-09-19T04:33:43.116-07:002019-09-19T04:33:43.116-07:00Hi!

I'm a mom too to a 20 month old little boy and we had a similar problem with my son around 9-10 months. At that point we hadn't sleep trained yet so that's what we decided to do and it worked for us but was so incredibly hard at first. Have you guys sleep trained yet or are you considering it?Ashleyhttp://ashleyzinhobl.comnoreply@blogger.com
