Sleep training (CIO) did you/will you do it?

Question

Answer

I did with my oldest around 10 months. Her dr said nighttime feedings were out of habit at that point. So that night she woke up, cried, I turned the monitor volume down and ended up back asleep. The next morning she was sound asleep. Had she really been freaking out I would of heard her her room is right by mine. But she was fine. And she's been sleeping through the night since
If my second needs to do the same method I will, and hopefully it will work just as well

Answer

I do controlled cry it out. I will let them cry for 10 minutes and then intervene.

Answer

We’re starting the Ferber method next week. Our babe will NOT sleep without us holding him. Lord help us, it’s gonna be rough. 😭

Answer

We're working on the Ferber method with DS right now. I'm definitely not comfortable with letting him cry it out completely, but knowing he's only crying because he wants to be held and sleep on the nipple makes it manageable for short bursts of time. He's good at putting himself to sleep/back to sleep. He just wants to be on the boob to actually fall asleep. I can't keep doing it and we've all been sleeping better 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I started at 12 weeks using a sleep trainer who is certified with the Sleep Sense program. This is our 2nd time doing it and very happy with our choice both times

Answer

We didn't with our oldest but he also set his own schedule that worked great and still does. When he does try to stay up, we rub his head and tell him lay down. He had had a white noise machine forever so what we will get this baby too. Before he understood commands, we would gently hold his hands to his chest so he didn't flail them and wake himself up while we rubbed his hair back, he'd fall asleep in 15 minutes or less.
