ive over spolied my 5 month old...i either put him to sleep by feeding( then he pacifies for a while after that on my lap) or rick him to sleep in my arms. when i finally lay him down IF he wakes up i pick him back up n rock him to sleep....i haven't given him a chance to fall asleep on his own. i know ur supposed to let them cry a little to see if they can self sooth..BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO LET HIM CRY. i knw he'll cry sometimes but if im avalible, I DONT WANT TO LET HIM CRY. it would b so nice if he could sleep on his own but i love tending to him. plus he sleeps in the same room as me and the hubby, but he gets up at 330a for work so its hard to try and let him cry if he wakes up. :/
if ur still reading this..thank u haha my question is, wat is your advice ?? i would like your input 👀
there's lots of interesting studies on this if you have time to read! ☺ I dont CIO and I believe my child will sleep on his own when ready. afterall, I chose to stay at home so my baby is my job and he comes first!
I did the cry it out and now my son goes to sleep on his own. whether im available or not kids have to learn someone isn't always going to pick them up when they cry or not everyone is going to rock him to sleep. Because believe it or not if you guys want a date night who ever is watching baby is not going to want to rock him every time to put him to bed. You and hubby have to be on the same page about a method also.
