Bella is asleep in her crib and finally got herself to sleep!!!
Started at 730, check her at 735, left for 10 min 745 she’s asleep !!! @massgirl, thank you for suggesting the Ferber method 🤩
She fell asleep while I was standing at her crib so I’m not sure if that totally counts ? And every time I walked in she was standing at the crib with her one foot up, looked like she’s attempting to climb out

It’s having them “cry it out” but checking on them in intervals.. so the old school cry it out method, you would ignore the cries until baby cries his or herself asleep.
Ferber method you comfort the baby in intervals of the first check being 5 min and any checks after that is every 10 min.
The goal is to comfort baby without feeding or picking up . Only soothe by patting their back or soft speaking .
Tonight was our first try and I can’t believe it worked . Bella tends to hysterically cry if she’s put down by herself and I’m trying to break that cycle for our sake and also #2 coming! Also Bella only naps once a day 1230-2 so she’s tired by the time 730 coming along
She may try to climb out 😂 ...mine did! Just remember that if she wakes up later tonight the same rules apply. A cue would certainly helps and I even played the same music, and read the same bed time story for a few weeks so her brain would learn that this is what happens before sleep
Same books a good idea, she loves her books! I don’t want to jinx myself but usually once she’s down she doesn’t wake up 🤞🏻
I hope she doesn’t climb out ! That’s a huge fear of mine is her climbing out and falling the wrong way and hurting herself 🥴
What is a Ferber method
