Nyomi has gone from sleeping by herself to co-sleeping and it so frustrating. She will wake up screaming if she’s not next to me and I really don’t understand why. I can’t sleep because I’m worried... I’ve heard so many horror stories about sleeping w/ baby and it’s even worse because I’m a hard sleeper. Anyway.... any tips on getting her to sleep alone again?

It’s probably sleep regression. My daughter is going through it now. She’ll be in her crib then wake up and scream her lungs off for no reason

@p., that’s exactly what’s happening 😩 I need to look into this

When my son had a sleep regression I did the ferber method. I would look into it. Actually the perfect age to do it before they are to strong willed lol

@jmedina, I know it depends on the baby but how long would you suggest letting her cry for. She’s so used to me picking her up as soon as she starts to scream 🤦🏽♀️ I don’t even think she’ll go along with this method.

I think it starts at 5 mins, go in and calm her without picking her up (which will probably upset her more) but it's to show them you didn't leave them forever. Then lengthen the time. It took my son about a hour the first day but by day 3 he didnt wake at night anymore.

Okay. I’m going to start that. Thank you! @jmedina
