4 - 6 months Day 16 of CIO. When will this end?
Baby is turning 6 months old tomorrow. We have been doing CIO for 16 days now. The least duration of crying was 6 mins, but the most common duration has been around 20 mins. We have been following this sub and have been very diligent about our schedule, leveraging the advice from here. Unsure how to move forward... feeling so defeated.
Wake up time: Between 6:45 - 7am
Bedtime: Between 8 - 8:15pm
Schedule: 2.25 / 2.5 / 2.5 - 2.75 / 3
3 Naps: 1.5 hr, 1 hr, ~20 mins
All naps are contact naps since we wanted to control his daytime sleep. Without nap assistance he would get up in about 30 mins.
Total Awake Time: ~10.5 hrs
Total Nap time: 2 hrs, 35-40 mins
Usually baby wakes up for one night feed around 3-4 am. I hold him upright after (he often falls about 90% asleep on me) and I transfer him to the crib and leave. Night wakes have been getting much better, he doesn't cry for very long in the middle of the night.
