[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a bad sleeper and finally, at nine months, did a strict routine at bedtime and let her cio.  I wanted to make sure she had object permanence and knew we were in the other room.  We tried checks and it made her madder.

Try a very strict and set bedtime routine first and then try DH giving her water when she wakes up.  But you - the breasts - do not go back in!  Start at four to six hour stretches.  [/quote]

Can you please outline your bedtime routine?

I do:

Bath
Goodnight to siblings and Dad
In her own bedroom with window shade up enough to allow me light to read and sound machine on
Read a book
Pull shade down and draw curtains for total darkness
Nurse both sides and burp
Rock to sleep (no boob in mouth)

That's one thing I think I did better with this baby, she doesn't have a nurse to sleep association I don't think. Just a rocking/holding to sleep thing. I'll only nurse her again around midnight when I've been giving up and bringing her into our bed for the night. The again at 2, 4, 6 AM whenever she wakes up because I'm right there anyway and may as well get her back to sleep ASAP.

But to be clear I tried to just keep her in her room for weeks until I just gave up in the past few days and started cosleeping. [/quote]
