1. Sleep Easy Solution, night weaning, still crying!
--------------------------------------------------------
eeewww - 12/14/2012 4:56 am

 We used the sleep easy solution on my toddler whense
 was 3.5 months and it worked great. We used it on my 5
 month old twins when they were 4 months old. They fall
 asleep great. But we just night weaned their 3 am
 feeding about two weeks ago an I don't feel like it is
 going that well. One baby, Sasha, sleeps pretty well
 through the night. Surprisingly she is the much smaller
 baby (by about 4 lbs). But she is more mobile and can
 turn on her side and sick her thumb to soothe herself.
 Audrey seems to be having a much harder time. She still
 wake up most nights and cries in the middle. A good
 night is if she only cries for 5 minutes. Tonight is a
 bad night. It has already been an hour and a half. This
 is fairly common. She ends up waking Sasha too if she
 goes on too long. Then it is just bak an forth settling
 an waking each other.I do check ins if there is
 cotinuous crying for about 15 minutes. But mostly I
 watch the monitor. I just don't feel like she is
 getting it. She does this during naps too. She wake up
 half way through and routinely cries for 20 minutes in
 the middle. All on all she seems no worse for the wear.
 She is happy in the morning and after naps. But this is
 just really frustrating. It wakes the whole house!I
 don't think she is hungry. Both babies have
 successfully replaced all the calories from the night
 bottles by increasing their daytime bottles. She just
 can't get herself back to sleep well!The only thing I.
 An think of is that we generally have a mobile playing
 when she goes to bed. It is no longer on in the middle
 of the night. I could stop using it at bedtime. But not
 sure that will really make a difference. Anyone dealt
 with this? Just frustrated mostly.

 Is it possible she's teething? My twins started waking
 around that age (after sleeping through the night from
 around 3.5 months) and it turned out they were cutting
 their first teeth (btw, I now swear by the Boiron
 homeopathic teething drops). Another thought given the
 recent FREEZING temperatures - is it possible she's
 getting cold? We discovered our nursery got really
 cold around 3am each night.

 Are you feeding them on the same schedule? That was
 the key for me, though even then it took me a few
 months to get them synced on naps. I ultimately
 implemented a policy of "one down, other goes in front
 carrier." Both my boys are absolutely unable to stay
 awake in the front carrier, so that worked after a few
 weeks of carrying one through naptime. Mine still nap
 better in their stroller than their cribs - with the
 exception of their morning nap - so I'm not a good
 source of advice there.
