Hi! We haven’t sleep trained my son- I nurse and rock him to sleep. He’s always woken once a night, but lately it’s getting worse. As much as I don’t want to, we’re going to sleep train soon. I think it’ll help him to get better quality sleep in the long run.

So, here are my thoughts. I’m emotionally attached to our cuddles as much as he is. I hate that he’ll spend any time upset and thinking he’s alone. I know it needs to be done, but I’m feeling the feels.

We’re going to do Ferber with slightly longer increments because he’s over a year old. I worry about how long it’ll take because I know he’s going to be standing up and screaming in his crib most of the time. My heart might break from his crying.

Anyone sleep train an older baby? Any insight?
