FTM Advice!
My son is getting worse and worse at putting himself to sleep. Since about 4 months he would put himself to sleep for naps and bed by crying for maybe 5 minutes and then relax and put himself to sleep. Now suddenly it’s taking a half an hour of crying and screaming to fall asleep. I was fine with with the crying when it was easy and for only a few minutes but this is heartbreaking to me. I have given in a few times now and just picked him out of the crib but then he falls asleep in my arms and naps there instead which isn’t a habit we want to start.
What do I do? Is it just a sleep regression we have to ride out?

I've never been able to let my baby cry it out. Just wasnt for me. If you're babys crying and you want to pick him up, go right ahead. Also, when you do decide to let them cry it out, I dont think you're supposed to let them go for very long. I'm no expert but I remember reading many times to only do it for a few minutes at a time, a half hour being far too long

We do go in to check on him and calm him down every few minutes.

My son had the hardest time falling asleep till jus a couple months ago. I would put on Moshi and jus rub his back or tummy till he fell asleep. Now he falls asleep on his own.

Good luck mama

He also could maybe not be tired yet? I made that mistake and I realized he might not be ready so I’d let him get up for a bit more read to him or something calm and then try again.
