Progress at a standstill?

[nickinoodles]

Hi,  I've been doing EASY for about two weeks and I saw progress right away with my 8.5 month old daughter.  Her naps went from about 45 minutes or a hour each to 1.5-2 hours each, she is putting herself to sleep for naps and bedtime and she cut down her night wakings from 5-6 times a night to 2-3.  But we've been that way for the night wakings since the 4th or 5th day.  When she gets up at night, I go in and briefly touch her and whisper to her, at first she is hysterical but it only takes her about 10 minutes to go back to sleep.  I still feed her once at night because sometimes I can actually hear her stomach growling.  I just feed her immediately and then put her in the crib awake.  She goes back to sleep quickly on her own then.  Anyway, she's been getting up 2-3 times a night for about a week and a half and I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if everything is fine and I just have to be patient?  Any ideas?

She may be having a growth spurt, or on the verge of a major milestone. It's also normal to see some regression after sleep training. It's important to stay consistent to reinforce the new habits. I think you're doing great

As Jessica says, it sounds as if you are doing great!  It does take time. I would give it another week or so while she is still learning the new way of doing things - and if she is still waking several times a night feel free to post back with your routine so that we can see if anyone has any ideas for things that might need tweaking
