STTN

If you know what STTN stands for then you have searched high and low for tips to help your baby sleep through the night. HELP?! Does anyone have any tips to help our little Josiah and us sleep through the night? We are doing EASY - Eat, Awake, Sleep, you. He was doing really well before, but for the past week or so he has been waking up around 4-5 times a night. We need help! Our little guy has been through so much it's really hard to let him CIO- Cry it out, but we are so exhausted. Does anyone have any tips we can try? We are desperate!

  1. i am so sorry teresa. it sounds like he might just be making that developmental milestone where he is aware when you walk away and he's not being held by you? i don't have any tips...sorry. i got to the end of my ropes with all of them and ended up just letting them cry it out for my sanity's sake. will be praying for you.

  2. Have you tried the Baby Whisperer's PU/PD (Pick Up/Put Down) method? It's gentler than CIO, and she says you can start it at 4 months old. I can try to get you the book soon if you want to read up on the method.
