Because night time they "have to" go to bed and sleep where as daytime is playtime!]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 20:35:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=135486&title=safety-sleep-weaning#135486 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=135172&title=safety-sleep-weaning#135172 Author: LockieandLiam

It's great to know that I am not the only one with this problem. I'll just keep safety pinning him for now then and see how it goes. I wonder what the difference is between night and day!!]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 11:11:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=135172&title=safety-sleep-weaning#135172 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134922&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134922 Author: EllenMumof2

Ha ha This is great. I was just logging on to come and post this exact question. Blake just gets so stuck and never ends up going to sleep when he is out of his! He just screams and screams and screams so I end up wrapping him back up in it and he goes off to sleep straight away? Do they eventually grow out of it?

Oh what to do?]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 15:53:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134773&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134773 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134562&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134562 Author: EllenMumof2

maddy is still in hers but only during the day as she won't go down without it during the day and since she only has 1 sleep now it will stay on but at night she will sleep fine with out so not really any advice here]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:57:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134562&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134562 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134317&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134317 Author: LockieandLiam

It's really quite funny as we can put him to bed at night without the safety sleep and he is good as gold, it just seems to be during the day that he has a problem with it.

I know what you mean though Aimee it does settle them more quicker especially in strange surroundings.]]> Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:57:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134317&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134317 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134075&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134075 Author: aimeejoy

Ours is a restraint!! I have just put it back on Hannahs bed as it was taking around an hour and a half before she would go to sleep at night, and she was soooo grumpy the next day. So now that its back on she is going to sleep quicker and having a longer sleep. I undo it at night when I go to bed. I know a lot of people just keep using them until they go into a big bed. I am reluctant to totally wean her off it as she sleeps really well at other houses with her safety sleep on.

Sorry that hasnt really answered your question, but good luck with it. ]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2007 19:26:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=134075&title=safety-sleep-weaning#134075 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=133884&title=safety-sleep-weaning#133884 Author: Peace

Oh and I did want to say as well, that I had the intention from the start that the Safety Sleep was going to be an enabler rather than a restraint. I wanted to use it to enable to help Olivia sleep properly but as soon as it became a restraint it was no longer an enabler.
Years of working with the elderly and that is my pearl of wisdom!]]> Sat, 21 Apr 2007 09:57:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=133884&title=safety-sleep-weaning#133884 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=133881&title=safety-sleep-weaning#133881 Author: Peace

When Olivia started taking hers off I just took it off the bed altogether. It was rough for the first week, a lot less sleep goes on during the day and it is hard to believe your kid is not going to cause itself some damage, from sleeping with it's face squished into the blankets!
But take a deep breath, like everything that kid's do it is only a phase.
If they are tired they will sleep and I know it is a big disruption to any routine you have but they will go back to it.
I must admit, after day 4 I was going to put the safety sleep back on the bed but made a friend talk me out of it!
Best of luck sugar.

Well I suppose my big question is how do you wean your little one from the safety sleep. I have taken to safety pinning it together for his nap during the day as he is pretty clever and actually undoes the velcro and then gets up and plays and doesn't seem to fall asleep.

How long should I leave him to try to settle by himself if this is the way to do it?

After he has fallen asleep I have taken to unpinning him as he wakes up crying because he can't get out and it frustrates him. But still cries initially until he knows he can get out.

Any ideas??]]> Fri, 20 Apr 2007 08:52:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6889&PID=133304&title=safety-sleep-weaning#133304
