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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
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!
