Oh my poor baby. He's being sleep trained so he has to cry himself to sleep for ten minutes.
Potty Training *Updated* Why is there such a push to do it so early?
SLEEP TRAINING So.. we hired a sleep consultant to try to help our baby soothe himself to sleep and we got a sleep training plan for him. It's basically putting him down in his crib, sound machine on, and letting him cry for 3 minutes before going into the room to comfort him. The plan is to repeat this until he falls asleep by himself (which I believe will take us the whole night, if we are lucky) I tried something similar when he was about 2 months old. I started at 7 pm and gave in at 2 am with an angry, exhausted baby. At that point we were both crying! 😭 Some of you told me he was too young to attempt anything. Here I am, 2 months later, still bedsharing and nursing to sleep. I still wonder what is best for him and if he is still too little to make him go through that stress, even if it's 3 minutes at a time. Anyone who's been through this? I'd appreciate your comments.
Any advice for sleep training at 6-7 months? My baby is still getting up about 3 times and wants bottles which I don’t think is necessary at this age. Do I cry it out or what?
Sleep training is brutal...
