CIO update 12/15
Back in August or September we let Ollie CIO and dropped all night feeds. Has literally been sleeping thru the night. Whichever night we did it, he cried for an hour and then he has been fine since then. Was waking up really early like 4/5 am but we were putting him to sleep at 6/630. Seemed like a good stretch of sleep but I was over being up at that time. Right before DST I decided I had to change his sleep schedule because I was not about to start waking up at 3 am. Abruptly changed his schedule to 7 pm bedtime and he did fine! Started waking at 5/530 more consistently… and as naps started to adjust he was able to consistently wake up later like 6. Now he does somewhere between 7/8 to 530/630 every night.
Things got a little messed up when we all got noro the week before / and of Thanksgiving. He had serious diarrhea so when he cried in the night we’d go in and check and change him. He would not go back to sleep by himself after that so I let him sleep with me. After a week of this, his sleep got so messed up. Would not go back to sleep in his crib and would not really sleep that great in our bed so after two nights of him being recovered and checking him and seeing there was no poop, we decided to let him CIO again. He cried for an hour and 20 minutes and he’s been sleeping thru the night again. He’s been more reluctant and clingy when I go to put him down in the crib, but it took two days of him crying for 10-30 minutes at bedtime / naptime before he got adjusted again.
He’s back to his sleep schedule 💛
