I never said it was bad even though i don't believe its right? At 2.5 months old you are basically saying your baby is ok to go 12 hours every night without food. Lots of babies sleep "through the night"...but that really means like 6-8 hours max. And yes normally your child would wake if starving...but not if he/she was trained to do otherwise. Sorry I have 4 kids and a home daycare with infants and none of them slept for 12 hour stretches without eating before they were around 6 months old. But i guess we all parent differently...
I just found this. "As Richard Ferber himself acknowledges, the Ferber method doesn’t teach kids HOW to fall asleep on their own (Ferber 2006). Kids are simply denied access to their parents, and left to work it out for themselves."
@Mommyo4 at 2.5 months old she was sleeping 10 to 12 hrs and no she didntwake up starving, as i said above shed wake up and talk to herself for a good amount of time sometimes over an hr. and she doesnt get a bottle until after shes changed and dressed and never screams for food.
@Fate she either grabbed her blanket and put it by her face or a stuffed animal or sucked on her fingers. she doesnt cry when she goes to bed any more she immediatly grabs her blanky and goes to bed
My daughter is 4 months old and her Dr told me to stop the nighttime feeding... I'm pretty sure he know what he's talking about since he went to 8 years of college.
My daughter is 4 months old and has slept through from 7 weeks, she doesn't have night feeds anymore and is a little chunk! She's on 8oz bottles every 4-5 hours. if she wasn't a baby who loved sleep so much i would of tried this method :-)
I believe to each their own. Cio isn't for me though. It really upsets me that you said its bad parenting if your 10mo wakes up at night. And my baby is a snuggler, I'm not going to take away that comfort from her.
ya to each their own. im really not going to be part of drama again. and to me if ayva was waking up at 10months old iwould feel like i did something wrong
@jazzi89 You're right to each its own...but you were critisized because you bashed first!! I dont agree, I have 5 kids and I have never let any of my kids CIO. I get my chores done and I also work fulltime and its a bit chaotic(sp) but the important stuff gets taken care of. My LO is almost 6 months old and she still wakes up at night, we co-sleep and I love it. You can onle decied what is best for you and Ayva but dont dish it out and insult saying bad parenting if you dont wanna hear it back. You did say that when she would cry would go outside and take a break, I mean many of us can say thats way worse that having a baby wake up at night at 10 months. Good luck with your parenting I hope its always go for the best!!!
I let my daughter fall asleep on her own (no pacifier, rocking, ect.) but I don't let her cry. There are many studies that show that letting your baby "cry it out" can lead to low self-esteem. It's like their voices are not be heard and saying that they are not important.
omg seriously. im done with this think what u want of me, but i have a very happy independant 5 month old that doesnt wake up at night, doesnt cry, and puts herself down for naps and bed,i dont have to give her a pacifier or rock her to sleep. shes perfectly healthy and content, and byfar one of the best babies ive ever seen, everyone wants to babysit her. and no i didnt bash first. i had multiple ppl getting at me saying i was awfl because i weaned her off nighttime feedings and did cio
i dont agree with this method but i dont disagree. what works for some may not work for others. my daughter is 3 months and i let her sleep where ever shes comfortable as long as its safe whether it be her swing bouncy pack n play or crib.if im tired and im in my lazy boy i fall asleep there.were human.i let her whine but no longer then a couple minutes or to the point shes hysterical.sometimes she just wants to know mommy is there and im so blessed and honored to be her mommy and keep her secure. idk how u figured bad parenting.we all knew what we were in for when we got pregnant.and until she's old enough to understand im on her schedule shes not on mine.
Yep sure did. After less than a week I just lay him down and he goes to sleep. He cried 5 min tops, because he's used to being rocked. I just started this last friday and already made amazing progress. He's almost 5 months.
