Sleep Training Part 2 (footage of how we do it)
So what did the SUCCESSFUL SLEEP TRAINING (using CIO-extinction) look like in REAL LIFE? Watch this video to see footage of: my thoughts and feelings the day we started the process,
how we do our bedtime routine exactly,
what it looks like putting baby down in his crib for bed,
and more thoughts/feelings after the first night!
Again, leave any questions you have if I can help with some answers I'd be happy to! I'm not a sleep consultant, but I've done a ton of research on it and am constantly looking for more tips and pointers- any feedback is helpful too! Tell me your positive sleep training story :-)

SUCCESSFUL SLEEP TRAINING! CIO-EXTINCTION Method (Part 1)
Переглядів 3,8 тис.4 роки тому
Hi all! My baby is 7 Months old and we decided it was time to sleep train him using the CIO (Cry It Out) Extinction method. The reason we chose extinction over Ferber (going in at timed intervals to sooth the baby) is because I know my babies personality- it would just make him more upset and draggggg out the process! He cried 45min the first night, ~15min the second night, ~3min third night, a...

    I think I'm possibly pregnant I'm 9 DPO and for whatever reason all of a sudden two week wait videos that have music playing in the background while people are talking make me livid. Whereas before it didn't bother me that much but now it's just a super irritation because it's just like extra background noise and it never set off my ADHD before but now I cannot handle it and that's so funny to me because I really wanted to watch this video but like 30 seconds in I couldn't 😂

      Some embassies actually state you are not to use the scheduling tool but to email them at a specific email address the payment details and the reference number from the online application. In essence, check the embassy site of the country you're doing it through and look for those instructions.

      Yes bleeding like a period is possible during pregnancy but it’s not called period , it’s called decidual bleeding . Having your period is impossible because your baby needs to implant on your uterine line . Having your period means your uterine lining is shedding , so it’s impossible to have your period . Baby won’t survive a shedding lining 😳

    My first baby adapted to sleep pretty well, but my second baby, who is now 4 months, has started fighting sleep tooth and nail whether it is nap time or bed time. I think it is a combination of him learning to roll to stomach early, sleep regression and teething. It has been about two weeks of him fighting sleep. It is at a point now where he is not even comforted by me sleeping next to him (my company used to calm him), so I eventually get him out of bed to walk around the house to soothe him, but the moment I put him back down he is back to crying. Even after breastfeeding and pain relief medicine he continues to cry. So CIO (extinction) looks like the only option right now in order for him to sleep at all! He will also usually only sleep for a half hour or so for any nap! He is not getting the sleep he needs. My first baby would sleep much longer stretches.

      @jenl8063 2 роки тому

      Hmmm. I'm not sure. My understanding was both parents need to be present at the embassy for the interview with the child. If one parent cannot be present, you need to have some letter from them explaining their absence or something like that. You could try to go, but be prepared to be turned away. Once there, just ask the interviewer what you are missing and what needs to be done. As far as i could see, if they like you they want to help you as much as possible to get the cbra... If they feel like something is shady or not legit they give you a harder time, or they will require more documents/proof from you.

    I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and would live in America for some periods so I would complete like 6 years but my interview I was not comfortable. First filter would be like didn´t you read instructions? Would not see pictures, documents like credit cards, drivers license, other IDs. Would only want to see school transcripts, medical records, employment records, W2 forms. So I did have a few informal summer jobs and how do I prove if you will not take my employee card, pictures and anything? I am so happy you were comfortable chatting and no need to take out more evidence even if you had that, to me they looked at all my papers and would say, thats not formal so they didnt give me the CRBAs and I got to send more documents so I can request a second appointment.

      @@melissah1639 nope. My son is very happy, well loved, loving, thriving boy! He always lets us know when he needs something from us. There are times now when he cries from his crib because something is wrong- we forgot his water bottle, the sound machine turned off, his pajamas were on funny - we can tell its something and listen in by door or the monitor and always go in to fix the problem. He goes right back to sleep once the problem is fixed! Once there was lightning and thunder was so loud it woke him from his nap, he was startled and cried- i went in immediately to hold him and rock him because i knew he needed comfort. Maybe some parents are neglectful and just chuck their kid in the crib unattended to do their own thing. Mine was a careful process of solid routines, watching wake windows, making sure his needs are met, the room is sleep conducive, etc. We didnt break him, he didnt give up. He is now comfortable falling asleep even tho we put him in his crib awake. and he also knows how to cry out when he needs something. I hope ppl dont use this method in an unloving way to ignore their kids cries no matter what. I always look at his monitor from the moment we close the door until he is alseep to make sure he is OK and if he needs something.

      Oh yes. He had some regression.. I think at 9months, and then 11months, etc... Haha. But i just applied the same principle. I'd check the monitor to make sure he was ok and give him a good 15min. Sometimes i gave him longer if i could see he was trying to settle. And sure enough he'd sleep. Each baby and parent is different. I was pretty strict about as long as you're clean, fed and loved you dont need me. Haha. Sounds bad but i had anxiety about going in to "help" and not really being able to help and he'd end up having bad sleep habits, or just waking and crying and me going in and a vicious cycle. I read that during regressions dont start anything you're not planning on continuing. But obviously take into consideration if they are sick, dirty diaper or too cold/hot etc. If you can fix it that's great. If there's nothing to be done, just let them be. That's what i did and he's 23months and a WONDERFUL sleeper- i havent had any issues my peers have been having the past few months. He always goes to bed happily and easily with the right schedule and bedtime routine. Up to you mama! Thay

    • @jenl8063
      @jenl8063 3 роки тому

      Hi! Ok, so depends on your babies age, if they still need night feedings. If your pediatrician says the baby does not need any more night feedings, then you could slowly wean them off of night feedings. Or cut it out cold turkey and yes, just let them cry. For me, i slowly weaned off the night feedings. The most important thing is to make sure they are falling alseep independently when you put them down for the night. Then if my son woke up around 1am, i would wait 10-15min to see if he would fall back asleep by himself. But later if he woke up at 3/4am i would wait a bit, and then go feed him them back in the crib. Make sure to feed them with the lights off- only change the daiper if its poo or super-duper wet. Dont talk - keep it dark, feed and business like, then back in the crib. If you know the longest time your baby can go without a feeding will help to know if should go to them or let them be. I kept doing this until only the 5/6am feed was left. And then eventually, by 9 months for us we had weaned off all night feedings. I knew for sure when a couple mornings he wasnt even really hungry for 7am feeding upon waking for the day (like he nursed for a few min and wanted to get up and play).. Maybe i will do a video on this? Press like this comment if you'd like to see that vid.

      @@mrshusnain4471 hard question. I bet it doesn't have an easy answer. Youd probably need to sell your child to pay someone to answer that. Not worth it

      @@mrshusnain4471 no. For my circumstances, my husband is malaysian and provides for our family. So I'm just a housewife/mom here. I have not worked in the usa since i was like 21...so, no, i personally dont have to file any tax thing for my baby. My baby has a Malaysia birth cert, and a CBRA. When my child turns 18 they will have to decide to move to usa to be a citizen there or a Malaysian citizen. Its up to them. While my child is under 18,they are entitled to both.
