SLEEP > Night Wakings
Success stories?
becky1969:
I was wondering if we could have a sticky thread with night waking success stories (not successful night wakings, but successful FIXING of night wakings! ;D ). I know on the Props page, the successful swaddle weaning stories were SO helpful to me - and guided me in how I weaned Owen.
Any chance we could do that? Or ARE there any success stories? LOL! Perhaps even arranging them by broad age ranges (0-6 mo, 6-12, 12-18, etc.) might help too b/c night wakings with a 4 month old who isn't even rolling over is different than helping a 9 month old who pulls up to standing and has separation anxiety!

I think thats a great Idea. I'll sticky this one and you can all add your success stories here.

Hi,
My DS is 4.5 months old and had started waking up to 8 times a night. I tried weaning him from sucking my finger to get to sleep, and every time he woke up did shh/pat or PUPD but although it became easier to get him to settle he still kept waking up. Last week a friend suggested that because he was still in a bassinet by our bed we might be disturbing him. On Friday I moved him to his big cot on the other side of the room and he slept right through the night from 7.30 til 6.45 (with DF at 10.30). I think he was more comfortable in the bigger cot, further away from us, further away from the window and with more space. Also, yesterday we stopped swaddling him and used a sleeping bag instead and to my amazement he again slept right through. I heard him wake up at about 6.40am but he didn't cry or call out. When I checked him he was playing quietly with a toy! What an angel.
I just posted this because last week he was waking up every 20-60 minutes all night every night & I was so tired and I didn't know what to do. And overnight everything changed. So if you're in the same situation, don't worry, it might suddenly be OK.
