Always feeling pressured to sleep train...

I don’t know what your experience has been but my family, my friends and coworkers are always pressuring me to sleep train my baby girl.

My husband and I tried the Ferber method and it lasted all of about 20 minutes because it wrecked our soul listening to her scream for us. I understand that sleep training works but it’s just not for us.

I find myself constantly defending our choice not to sleep train. I just want to give a shout out to other mamas who have stood their ground and have done what works for their families despite what societal norms are encouraging you to do.

I’m also not bashing moms who sleep train! If I had the guts to do it I’m sure I’d appreciate all the extra sleep. For now, I have adapted to waking up 2-3 times a night and cosleeping with my little best friend ❤️ here’s a picture of her sweet face - one of the main reasons I just give in to her! 🥴😄
