Does this even warrant CIO?

Mine sleep through the night probably 4 out of 7 nights. The other three nights one of them wakes. Probably 2 nights we need to do a bottle. I would do full on CIO if they woke more often but I am not sure if I should just ride this out or do CIO?

 

Honestly, even if you do CIO it doesn't mean they'll never wake up in the night again. I think I'd just keep feeding them if they happen to wake up and hopefully it's something they'll outgrow soon. If it starts happening more often then I'd do CIO.

 

I think I would ride it out for a bit longer. I would consider CIO if you can label it a habit. But I am not a fan of CIO.

 

Personally i'd be ditching those bottles. I'm not a fan of extended night feedings though

I agree that I don't consider occassional night wakings a CIO offense, and I am a fan of CIO! :lol: Right now my 8 yr old is the only one who consistently sleeps all night without getting up, my 3.5 yr old still gets up once a night at least 3 nights of the week, and the twins wake once or twice 3-5 nights a week. I rarely get a "full" nights sleep without someone waking up.

 

We are ditching the bottles. Right now they get 2oz and we stick with that. I just hate going cold turkey. Yes, I am a wimp.

 

It sounds like they are doing great to me! I wouldn't bother with CIO if I were you. Like Aimee said, even if you do CIO, once they are routinely sleeping through the night they will still wake in the night off & on.

 

Sounds good. We are ditching bottles and the dream feed so wish me luck. They no longer take more than 2oz at either the DF or middle of the night so I think we just need to finish this off.

 

Good luck, I hope it's an easy transition for you!

 

Me too!!

:thanks:

 

Oh yeah! GL! :hug:

 

Sorry..off Topic. Aimee congrats!!!

 

Good luck! I'll be following your progress! *Knock on wood* Annabella has been the trying one in terms of sttn. The boys did at 6 months, with one night of CIO. Her, I just didn't have the heart, and she would consistently drink a full bottle, or be pretty darn close! She's gone a good two weeks(surely I am jinxing myself) of sttn.

GOOD LUCK!

 

I might jinx myself but last night they slept 730pm until daddy woke them at 630 to go to daycare. No bottles/no dreamfeed. My husband was skeptical but I showed him they could do it. I am praying the trend continues.
