2nd night in his own room and he wakes up every hour-advice plz

[mylittlebubs]

Lincoln is sleeping in his room again tonight and he wakes up every hour for me to pick him up and comfort him
is this normal? how long does it take until he sleep longer by himself?
We used to so-sleep for 7 months
mil told me to let him cio but i cant and don;t want to do it
advice please

oh gosh, I really don't know what I'd do but I didn't want to read and run. Alasdair wakes up every hour after about midnight and I just end up bringing him in with me but obvoiusly you're trying not to cosleep! I hope by bumping this up a bit maybe others might reply with more constructive advice than my rubbish contribution!

i would let him cry it out, i know its hard but thats wot i did with jack and sleeps from 9til7 every night

we don't pick Hannah up (unless she's screaming because of the teething) but do put her soother back in and pat her bum until she falls back asleep

We never let Kaya CIO but do wait for a minute so see if she falls asleep again. If not we go in and give her a hug then put her back down and wait til she falls asleep. At first she was waking every hour or so but after a few days, once she realised that we would come to her but not take her out her room, she stopped and now she only wakes once or twice in the night.

I would let him CIO... Or you can try going in to sooth him, but dont pick him up.

It will be hard for a bit because he is so used to co-sleeping... but if you persist and keep a good routine, he will eventually get it and settle.

ye i would also suggest letting him CIO it will be hard at first but he will soon get used to it. it wont do him any harm.

I would get the book The No-Cry Sleep Solution, by Elizabeth Pantley. It'll take awhile for your baby to get comfortable in his own room if thats not where he has been sleeping. There are plenty of other options then CIO, and a lot more peaceful ones. Good luck!

i prefer the peaceful solutions
the last 2 nights i had to take him back to my bed at 3is am after i woke up about 10 times arealdy

The way we got Kaya used to sleeping in her room at first was to put her down in her bed and then keep her there until we went to bed, then if she woke up she could come in with us. I think it helped her to get used to sleeping by herself - it's a big change and personally I think letting him CIO would just make him feel more confused. Build it up, it can take a fair old while, but you'll both get there in the end.

I'm predicting I'm going to end up where you are sooner or later, when I'm sick of BFing ALLLLLLL night with Jasper.

I let him CIO to go to sleep, but I always go to him when he wakes up, and in the middle of the night, I go the path of least resistance and bring him back to bed for a feed and we fall asleep together... If I put him back in his cot, he still wakes sometimes after just 1.5 hours! He's 4 months old and beginning to teeth.... this is gonna get worse before it gets better!!!

I might try letting him CIO, only for 10 minutes and see if he'll go back to sleep?

I'm also jumping straight on google to check out the no-cry book... I might buy it! I had an awful awful book my mum gave me, she didn't read it herself, if she had she wouldn't have bought it... it was like hitler wrote a baby book!!! I didn't like it one bit!
