My update on sleep regression! So at lakelyn's last appointment we got some different advice that we were much more willing to try than "cry it out" you can read about that here
This method worked so well! Within the week our girl was sleeping through the night!!! Merry Christmas to us!
We would give her a bath and do her normal night routine, lotion, pjs and then give her a bottle in the living room with us. After her bottle I would take her into her room sing her a quick song while holding her, tell her goodnight and give her a kiss and lay her down. Sometimes giving her a paci and sometimes she didn't care for it. Give her her blanket and rub her head one last time before walking out and closing her door.
If she woke up I would go in there try giving a paci and rubbing her head or back and sometimes she would fall right to sleep. A few times in the beginning I had to give her a bottle of water but she would take a few sips and then take her paci instead and go right to sleep. This only lasted a few days and then it was no waking up at all!!
Until...
She got her first cold New Year's Eve. She had a runny nose, horrible sounding cough with flem and just wasn't feeling good. Poor baby. She still slept fine the first 2 nights, but has been waking up a lot the past 2-3 nights! Its hard to say if its the 9 month sleep regression coming to attack (late I might add) or just her being sick still. I'm hoping it does not last long and she will go back to sleeping through the night again!
