Tonight is day one of attempting a gentle sleep training. We started a bedtime routine and right now daddy is rocking her. For anyone that has done gentle sleep training (no crying), what do I do when she (inevitably) wakes up the second we lay her down? I know eventually we want her to put herself to sleep but from what I read we want one new change at a time. (Which first new change is actually starting a bedtime routine)
My plan is to try and shush her to sleep/rub her head, but I've tried that before and she literally just stared at me the whole 20 minutes I did it while waking more and more up. 🙃
So, do i need to try longer doing that or just restart the task of trying?
What typically happens is I nurse her to sleep and spend all night trying to lay her on her crib, she instantly wakes up, repeat.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
So we got in super late last night. Had to carry my daughter to bed.
She had the nerve to try and wake me up at 7:30am saying she wanted breakfast. Smh (She wanted me to fix her a spread)🙄
I told her to choose some cereal. I'll fix her a bowl. Of course there wasn't any cereal that she wanted today 😴
I told her spoiled ass to figure it out and I went back to sleep 😂🤣
She ate an eggo.
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours...
If she’s not crying, I would say good night and tip toe out. If she starts crying, calm her down and then tell her it’s time to sleep and try to leave. It’ll take some time to get her used to the new routine. Some nights will be harder than others, but you’ll be thankful you did it sooner rather than later. Just keep things consistent and don’t give up, she’ll get there!
