......pero she's still up till 2-3 in the morning playing...   what do you think i should do??

sis, ugali talaga yan ng baby...we can do nothing about it, hayaan na lang mag-change sila in her own pace...

our baby is more than 6 months na and she already established her bed time, around 7PM, sponge bath, change diaper and sleeping dress...pag nilalabas pa sya sa room, nagagalit sya at nakatingin na yan sa door ng room namin at di sya titigil sa pag-ingay pag di sya ipapasok sa room...play muna sandali and around 8PM at pag naririnig na niya classical sleepytime music niya, pupwesto na sya arms ko at sleep na sya...HOWEVER....around 3AM very wide awake si baby jana and she wants us to play with her pero sandali lang naman tapos hahayaan na lang namin syang maglilikot til maka-sleep ulit ang wake up around 8AM...

after reading this about 3-4 weeks ago, I began training my baby to sleep early kasi minsan 1 or 2 am na sya sleep at hindi ko na alam anong lullaby and dance dance ang gagawin ko para makatulog sya ng maaga... 

ang naisip ko sleep training sa baby ko ay mag-lights off na kami sa room at exactly 10pm... kahit gising na gising pa sya... lights off na kami except for the small lamp (para madali kami maka-attend sa needs niya wen he cries  ).... ayun, konting lullabyes and dance dance na lang (minsan nga wala na eh) sleep na agad si baby....

na-test namin ito when we went home to bulacan last week... feeling ko kasi mamahay sya tsaka dun wala kami lamp... aba..aba...aba... nakatulog nga sya agad... kaya masarap na din ang tulog namin ng daddy niya... i or daddy wakes up after 3 or 4 hours to give him milk lang... kasi pag super sleep naman na ngayon ang baby ko, we wont wake up for his milk... pero once na sinibuan namin sya ng bottle, dede to the max naman sya...

i think it is possible kung gagamitin mo yung kay Ferber na method, yung iiwanan mag-isa hanggang makatulog...kahit mag iiyak sila di mo talaga pupuntahan hanggang makatulog sila. tapos meron din naman yung isa, i forgot who formulated it, cry-it-out method din, pero every once in a while magpapakita ka just to let him know na you did not leave him...kaya lang, personally, i'm against it...kasi etong age ng baby yung nandun sila sa trust vs. mistrust stage (Erikson), so they will eventually learn to sleep na walang hele, pero there are negative effects as they grow older..feeling nila, nineglect mo sila...

Babies who are not securely attached to their mothers are less cooperativeand more aggressive in their interactions with their mothers. As they growolder, they become less competent and sympathetic with peers. They also exploretheir environment with less enthusiasm and persistence. http://web.cortland.edu/andersmd/ERIK/stage1.HTML

so you can check out Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Sleep Solution, naiinis nga ako nawala ko yung book ko about it. Nagbibigay cia ng more effective ways of instilling routines which may still entail you sining for your little one, pero eventually he'll sleep alone. yung key niya lang sa research na un is, you do not force your child to sleep alone when he is not ready. super nice talaga!

And btw, accdg to dr.sears, sleeop training is not for breastfeeding mothers daw...
http://www.askdrsears.com/html/7/T070700.asp ang alam ko kasi, mas mabilis talaga sila magutom kasi breastmilk breaks down faster...read mo nlang yung article, kasi hindi na ako maciadong nag pay attention kasi hindi me nagbbreastfeed...

Hi! Naku Mommy ganyan din baby ko. Pag umiiyak ng sobra 15mins. pataas yun na! Suka! hirap, lam mo minsan sa bed namin kung saan saan punas kami sa bed ng hubby ko. pag madaling araw minsan ganun, nagigising umiiyak di namin alam bkt? after that ayun suka na. She is now turning 4y.o. Nagstop na din yun suka (but sometimes few bad dreams iyak pa din) around 1 year na. Pero we really watch out na di siya umiyak ng sobra. May ganon na kids talaga, di daw nila makayanan emotional pressure kaya nagsusuka sila. pag laki daw nila mararanasan ulit yun. Pareho tayo nag-worry, pero normal child naman sila that's just the way they feel emotionally, alagaan lang natin emotions nila with love and affection. Agree mga mommies?!

7 Tips for Putting Baby on a Schedule

When I was still pregnant, one of the things that I was anxious of was yung pagpupuyat cus gising magdamag yung baby. When Zoe was born, I was really happy kase never kao nagka-problem sa pag-sleep niya. She also slept through the night kahit na nung newborn.

On sleep training, I guess I'm just lucky that I never had to go through a battle with Zoe na hahayaan sya umiyak hanggang sa makatulog. Sinanay ko kase si Zoe na when it's time for her nap, bibigyan lang ng bottle (or magffeed from me before) tapos magpplay ng music. Now at 15 months, Zoe takes a nap after her morning bath (around 10am) tapos cat nap in the afternoon. Between 6-7pm, sleep na sya for the night. Pag medyo high energy pa, pinapatayan namin ng lights talaga and iikot lang sya sa bed naghahanap ng pwesto tapos tulog na sya.

Leaving a child to cry or soothing him really depends on the age. Pag infant palang, for me, I see no harm in soothing the child - but not always.

If he wakes in the middle of the night to cry, I'll check on him fast lang to see if he soiled his pampers or he is hungry. If not, then I'll leave him to fall asleep by himself.

If this happened naman with an older child like a toddler, I can use the ignore tactic ore because I can explain to him that he has to learn how to sleep by himself.

There's definitely nothing wrong with letting a baby cry.

To answer your question, I can't really disagree or agree with either sleep training methods because it's really up to your parenting style and philosophy as a parent.

I would however opt for helping the baby sleep instead of leaving it to cry because I'm uncomfortable not giving him physical support when he crying. That's not to say that every time my child cries I run and hug him.

Lullabies and soothing melodies add to this sense of calm from a very early age, and give the child a sense of security and well-being that he will carry on until adulthood.
