It’s been 1.5 months after the day we tried full CIO.
He’s been generally sleeping better but def not sleeping thru the night. I don’t think I’m gonna push for him to do that. Esp since I’m not sure how much he needs to eat, he loves the boob, he seems to be teething and needing more contact with me.
And that is ok with me.
He does good stretches of sleep thru the night and even tho I’m tired, I think he needs me throughout the night. He’s still a baby who does soooo good putting himself to sleep for naps and bedtime - and now seeing how Amelia and Yaakov have turned out - amelia sleeping thru the night and yaakov being more fussy because he’s awake earlier but doesn’t call out for anyone … I feel a little more confident that closeness and giving my baby extra comfort is not gonna ruin his sleep forever. And I can cherish this time with him and being here for him.
Still gonna have boundaries and still letting him fuss it out sometimes in the night and waiting to see if it’s a full blown AHHH I’m AWAKE AND I NEED YOU cry, or if it’s just a .. I woke up and I’m so tired I need to figure out how to get back to sleep cry.
I love him to pieces.

He slept thru the night for the first time in Medellin. 3/7 slept into 3/8. 6:30-5, feed, slept til 7. Slept that good for the rest of the time in Medellin. Naps were good too but sometimes only took one nap.
We moved down here last week 4/8. Santi got the apartment ready enough for us to sleep down here because I was getting the abortion 4/12. I was also at my wits ends with Ollie’s sleep (breastfeeding him to sleep stopped working and he was just up at all hours of the night). Let him CIO.
He slept thru the night twice since then. Last night he had trouble staying asleep in the beginning and then he woke up at 3 and 5. When I went to get him those times he felt cold and I realized maybe that’s why he was having trouble sleeping. Today we turned the heat to 72 and he’s been sleeping good. He woke at 3:12 and fussed (but laying down) for a while and was on and off asleep … so at 3:45 I went into see if he pooped. He felt warm so I took off his vest and fed him and put him back down to sleep. Maybe he was too hot with the vest smh.
He took two crib naps today. First one was like 50 ish mins, the second was 30 mins. Yesterday was similar. First nap 30 mins, second nap 1 hour. We’ll see how this goes.

Back in August or September we let Ollie CIO and dropped all night feeds. Has literally been sleeping thru the night. Whichever night we did it, he cried for an hour and then he has been fine since then. Was waking up really early like 4/5 am but we were putting him to sleep at 6/630. Seemed like a good stretch of sleep but I was over being up at that time. Right before DST I decided I had to change his sleep schedule because I was not about to start waking up at 3 am. Abruptly changed his schedule to 7 pm bedtime and he did fine! Started waking at 5/530 more consistently… and as naps started to adjust he was able to consistently wake up later like 6. Now he does somewhere between 7/8 to 530/630 every night.
Things got a little messed up when we all got noro the week before / and of Thanksgiving. He had serious diarrhea so when he cried in the night we’d go in and check and change him. He would not go back to sleep by himself after that so I let him sleep with me. After a week of this, his sleep got so messed up. Would not go back to sleep in his crib and would not really sleep that great in our bed so after two nights of him being recovered and checking him and seeing there was no poop, we decided to let him CIO again. He cried for an hour and 20 minutes and he’s been sleeping thru the night again. He’s been more reluctant and clingy when I go to put him down in the crib, but it took two days of him crying for 10-30 minutes at bedtime / naptime before he got adjusted again.
He’s back to his sleep schedule 💛
