he cries nd stops nd looks around so I think he's fine but I still feel bad yhh I heard about that I just searched it up I will try that bcz I cnt do this method I feel really bad :(
I do a more controlled crying / leaving method as I can't bare to leave them crying until their distressed. I go in after 5mins, lay them back down, stroke their face, say goodnight & walk back out. Then I'll try & leave it 10mins, 20mins etc. If their crying really badly I won't leave it that long I'll go back on after a few minutes but I never pick them up. But I always go back. So they start to learn you will go to them to reassure but not to pick up. What works for one baby won't another but I've done this with both my boys @abzx786 This doesn't work over night. It takes consistency. There also may be nights they still get upset but I always stuck to it 😊
how do u guys put ur babies to sleep in the cot by themselves if any of u guys do
If i come in front of him now he will just stop crying :/ so he just wants me tbh
hey yhh I'm good thanku, yhh he cries then stops crying looks around then crys again soo confused it been an hour nd he's crying the same way I mean I want him to learn that if he cries without a reason I will not pick him up nd he has to learn to sleep but he keeps climbing on his cot nd crying... nd yh the mobiles on but it will auto shut any min he's not even focusing on that I'm soo confused I don't want to give in
@abzx786 try giving him a bottle if he's tired that should send him to sleep
hay hun hope your OK. personally if he is just crying because he can I'd leave him. it's hard I know but it's the only way he will learn. but this is your choice and people with give you different opinions so go with what's best for you both. I'm a firm mum but that's from what I was bought up with. has he got a cot mobile or anything to entertain him? xxx
Some parents do and that's fine I'm not against it. But I just couldn't leave my boys to cry that long. Everything in me wants to go in & reassure them. But I also know the importance of them learning to self soothe & if their fed, clean & safe then they don't always need to be picked up. I find by going in they know your there for them but they soon learn crying won't get them picked up / rocked off all the time.
