Also, a lot of nights they don't go to sleep right away. Almost habitually now they play and chatter and Hazel stand in her crib giggling at Oliver while he entertains her for a while before they can wind down. <br /><br />There are drawbacks. He sometimes wakes her up in the morning and vice versa. But, it definitely works. And on the nights when he's staying overnight at my Mom's she doesn't know what to do with herself. It's weird and hard for her to fall asleep in the room alone!<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br />RaechelRaechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749957283761850800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-30880911239462986382011-01-21T21:47:02.435-06:002011-01-21T21:47:02.435-06:00Another sleep question - although not a sleeping t...Another sleep question - although not a sleeping through the night one (our 7mo old is amazing and sleeps 12 hours. I know!) Anyhoo...we're about to be relocating for my husband's job, and there is always the possibility we'll have to put the boys in the same room (3 in a few weeks and 7 mos). How do you do it with both kids in one room? Doesn't H wake O up? Or viceversa? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!Kimberleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869273775462577683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-5034428539688693672011-01-21T12:43:13.735-06:002011-01-21T12:43:13.735-06:00again with the baby chub and the legs. double love...again with the baby chub and the legs. double love!<br />Sarah-AnneSarah-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772252694871511431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-77054025603120334452011-01-21T09:55:52.609-06:002011-01-21T09:55:52.609-06:00Sarah-

She started sleeping through the night just in time to get sick, and now she's up all the time. I'll do some googling on the Ferber method to see if it's something we can do!Rachel Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199415002439439934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-59591519827592386962011-01-20T17:29:03.451-06:002011-01-20T17:29:03.451-06:00So grateful for you sharing your sweet baby Hazel....So grateful for you sharing your sweet baby Hazel.

I sat in the hallway with our iPad and read a book on it while the stopwatch app alerted me every time five minutes had passed. <br /><br />I was up for about 2 hours that night. She would settle herself on her own and fall asleep, but she just kept waking up every 15 minutes or so. I knew not to go back down to bed because pulling myself out of my warm blankets would only frustrate me. <br /><br />The second night was easier and I was only in the hallway for an hour or so and I only went to her every 8 minutes instead of every 5. (She wasn't crying for that whole time, again she was just waking up a lot feeling like she needed to nurse, then falling asleep again). <br /><br />By night three I didn't even have to stay upstairs with her. I think she just got it. At 10 months and her weight, she had no caloric need to be awake and eating. She had a habitual cycle of waking up and we were supporting it by going to her and replacing her pacifier. The pediatrician pointed out that if the girl can crawl the way she does, she can certainly replace her own pacifier if she needs it. <br /><br />And that's how we did it. I may as well have made this a blog post!<br /><br />Hope this helps! (Though I know some of y'all have babies that have been sleeping through the night since they were 6 weeks old!)<br /><br />-RRaechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749957283761850800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209708229849463230.post-88611654487782580202011-01-20T16:11:23.496-06:002011-01-20T16:11:23.496-06:00so happy for you, sleep is a glorious and often un...so happy for you, sleep is a glorious and often underrated thing!<br />Did it just click for her, or did you do some sleep training?
