But we paired it with the "silent return" technique. We started at 18 months and it took about a month to get from 2 hour long bedtime routine to saying goodnight and him going to sleep on his own. Now he is a champion. We're in the midst of doing the same with Cal, although he is still nursing to sleep so that part at least is easy.Mairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592106242870007098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778414560143748155.post-75661493452758560382011-04-07T09:58:18.951-07:002011-04-07T09:58:18.951-07:00Yep!

We, too, go in there and console him and lay him back down---to be honest I think it may have something to do with getting rid of the binkie. At first he was fine, but I think he now knows he used to have something to soothe him and fall asleep, now he doesn't have it so I think it may be harder and he's realizing that. Not being tired makes it harder for bedtime too and we've adjusted their bedtime as well. <br /><br />I hope it gets better!!Ashley Majorekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763309715530435798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778414560143748155.post-30963189255544600602011-04-06T21:17:58.425-07:002011-04-06T21:17:58.425-07:00Thanks everyone.

I am thinking that maybe she isn;t very tired yet at 8:00. So I might try moving up her nap from 1:00 to 12:00. Maybe that will help...Josh and Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424202491168732214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778414560143748155.post-29599003132409934752011-04-06T19:23:29.412-07:002011-04-06T19:23:29.412-07:00First off, you're still rather lucky to have ...First off, you're still rather lucky to have her sleep until 7:00. We're woken up at 4:45-5:00. We also go in and calm him down if he fusses, but we put him down before he falls asleep. We struggled with this (as I'm sure you've read on my blog) for some time. Sometimes they go through new phases of learning and don't want to go to sleep, but like Sarah said, just be consistent. E has gotten into a new rut lately, so I understand.Mattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392740910552219687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778414560143748155.post-80183979533851342422011-04-06T12:44:42.537-07:002011-04-06T12:44:42.537-07:00Oh, little beautiful M!!!

You know what, she was so convincing that we would let her out a lot...then we got a little smarter and realized we just needed to be strong. Giving her 10 minute/5minute, etc. warnings for approaching lights-out has definitely helped us. My best answer...do what YOU think is best for her and just ride it out...she'll totally get past it...especially when she realizes that YOU have a plan and you're not afraid to implement it. You are doing great! Doesn't the screaming and crying totally sound like murdered in their room??

I know Matthew has gone through this. <br /><br />(and FYI...Mark and I go in and check on him if he fusses.

I think you can still go in and check on M but probably best not to pick her up (which is what she wants). I forget which method it is, but one of them say that you should spread the time out each night/week when you check on her (5 min., 10 min., 15 min., etc...). In our experience back when Ahnica did the same thing, she would almost get more upset after we went in and picked her up to calm her down and then laid her down. No matter how long we waited and even swore that she was practically asleep, she would immediately start screaming. Waiting it out is the only thing that worked, probably lasted about a week, but oh was it hard on mommy to hear her screaming so hard. :o(Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567458387906205463noreply@blogger.com
