[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure there are 92376238764 posts on this already, but I'm ready to sleep train my 8.5MO. I chalked it up to a crappy sleep phase (he was a sleep unicorn until 4 months) but we're now on month 4 of the 4 month sleep regression and I'm over it. He's eating solids and nursing/BM bottle fed. Typical night looks like this:

8pm - nurse and down to sleep
Anywhere between 11:30pm-1am - awake and SCREAMING! I try shush/pat and pick up/put down but end up nursing back to sleep. He seems to eat a lot but my supply has dropped so I feel like it can't be that much
Anywhere between 2:30-4:30am - usually up at least once again but can shush/pat or pick up/put down
4:30am - up again and I just end up taking him down on the couch where he sleeps on me until 5:30am when he's up for the day (and DS1 is usually up and coming downstairs around this time anyway - we're early risers)

Last night I fed him a 7oz bottle when he woke at 11:30pm and he drank about 6oz and when he woke again at 1:15 I let him CIO for about 20 minutes before he passed out. He slept until 5am. Should I just keep doing this until he learns to STTN? DS1 was similar with a 4am wake-up and down on the couch, but I feel like he was at least not feeding during the night at this age. Both boys are above average size.

He's also started these screaming fits during the day. I think he gets overtired but I'm also wondering if anyone has sleep trained their baby and it's helped with their outbursts during the day?[/quote]
