How long does pu pd take

My first never used to have these sleep problems so I'm bit baffled : it's so distressing I can't wait for this phase to be over x.

We did this with our twins at 9 weeks. They rarely cry when we leave the room and certainly for no more than a couple of minutes of gentle crying not screaming.

Definitely worth persevering with as has been a godsend for us. It has meant that we're able to have our evenings back and have a bit of 'us' time before the dream feed at 11 or so. By three weeks I could feed him and put him down awake and leave the room and he would fall asleep on his own. I've now found he is waking for comfort feed so I'm now doing controlled crying to try and teach him to sleep without feeding at all.

I probably should have made more of an effort to separate feeding and sleeping by a couple of minutes at the very start. I read somewhere that someone with a 10 month old took them 6 weeks to get to the put them down awake and they would fall asleep on their own so that was my bench mark so I was really pleased with three weeks!

With my LO I used to just shush and keep hand on tummy when he was falling asleep and then remove my hand and then make the shush quieter and then gently leave the room. If he cries again start shushing again and hand back on tummy. The baby whisperer forum is really helpful! Sorry I've rambled! More posts in "June Birth Club" group.

Nursed her and cuddles. Put her down in bed and she was asleep in 22 minutes with minimal soothing. Read on. Both of us woke up at Then I made it dark and lay her down and tried to soothe her but she was resisting, wanting to stand up on side of crib.

So I said my key phrase and left the room. No crying, no need to soothe. She was quite content. Happy parents today! After story time I nursed and rocked her with cuddles for a minute or two. She was pushing away from me a lot — Tracy says to lay them down if they put up a fight in your arms — so I just lay her in bed and soothed her there. I took off my hands quite fast this time and as expect she got up and stood at the side of the crib. I think she stood about 5 times before she was over it.

Napped only 30mins until T hen began to cry because so tired! Did 2 PUs and was able to settle her in bed. Hope this nap is longer! Nap was 1 hour until just before 3pm. Then bathtime at 6 and after PJs we read a story to calm.

Bedtime 6. Initially, I lay her down but Zoe climbed the crib twice. I simply lay her down every time she was completely standing and soothed for a minute. She needed no PUs and was asleep in about 9 minutes! That was a big mistake on my part, leaving her alone would have been better! Not happy. She actually slept all night from her dream feed at 11pm right through to 6am! It seems to upset her more now when we touch her.

For day time we are simply leaving her on her own to get to sleep. Never full crying though. She slept for 1. Went in and she had a poop so we needed to change her! We then put her back down and she slept half an hour 3pm to 3.

No more naps but play date with Chance. Bedtime at 7. Very cranky and not wanting to separate from us so cried in bed. Had to hold her until it passed and she cried a lot. I lay her back down drowsy at 4.

Very happy about that, she got extra sleep and so did Mama and Papa! She only slept half an hour woke up at Just 10 mins before the 40 minute mark I went in scared to try this haha!! I flipped her onto her side and settled her down fast with one shh and firm hand for no longer than 10 seconds and she put herself back to sleep for an hour longer!

Glad it worked! Put Zoe down this evening after Story time and cuddles and she was in her sleep sack blanket. So it was very peaceful tonight.

At 5 mins in I thought she was out since she was so calm. Then she fussed and I calmed her again for a moment at 10mins. Then she lost her paci and I gave it to her in the dark without her realizing and she rolled over and was really quietly babbling for 10 mins by herself. Then one more fuss at around 20 mins but again I just gave her the paci back without her knowing and she was sitting up, but again, has trouble standing so she was quick to lie down and realise it was sleepy time.

Good trick to have the sleep sack. Tonight was first time she ever put her own self completely to sleep without us in the room!

Took 5 minutes. Asleep by 8. No drama getting her to sleep, no PUs. I lay her down and read a story — then lay her in the crib and she was up fussing a teeny bit, I simply straightened her legs were little stuck in the sleep sack and put her paci in.

She was asleep by herself in 10 minutes! She was messing around a bit and fussed for a minute but found her pacifier and put herself to sleep after that. Slept 1 hour. Cuddled her in the dark for a couple of minutes to get her in the zone and lay her down. She was able to be alone 10 minutes before crying. Needed some soothing but when she was calmer we lay her down eyes open still and she put herself to sleep.

Papa did the due diligence of dinner, bathtime and story. He lay her down with a kiss and she was asleep in 3 minutes. Lay her in bed calm after cuddles and she put herself to sleep quietly in about 10 minutes.

Slept for an hour! She was in her sleep sack so again, not much she could do in the way of standing. She fussed a little and crocodile cried but found her pacifier and soothed herself to sleep.

Took about 20 mins total. Bedtime at 6pm: 25 mins, no PUs, no soothing necessary, Zoe asleep by herself. We read a story with low light and then we watch the projector on the ceiling a little. Then we cuddle and this makes her really calm. Being together just those extra 15 mins longer seems to be making a difference.
