Any babies that WOULD NOT sleep train?

Question

Are there any babies out there that would not sleep train no matter what method m, no matter what! My girl is 11 months and will not, she will lose her voice screaming and crying before she lays down and falls asleep. I’ve tried over and over again. Will she eventually just start sleeping through the night? God help me.

Answer

My son will not sleep train.  We tried going in every 5 minutes to calm him down and he would not calm down and stop crying, he cried harder when he saw me or his dad. He would sweat he was crying so hard. Me and his dad just couldn't do it anymore. So he has been sleeping with us for 2 months now. It was a choice we made together. And we are happy with it. 
So I have no advice. Good Luck.

Answer

Ya my girl just sleeps with us. I can’t stand listening to her cry anyways. She’ll sleep on her own someday...these days are fleeting (and tiring with little sleep 😅😬)

Answer

No advice. My daughter won’t cry herself to sleep she will just scream and hyperventilate. I tried Ferber method around 8 months. Didn’t work. I spend 30 minutes to an hour putting her to bed everynight and then she wakes up and won’t go back down for 2+ hours around midnight most nights. I guess I’m just never sleeping well again. 😔

Answer

I rock my baby to sleep with her soothing on my boob. She sleeps really well throughout the night, just requires some effort in the beginning

Answer

Sleep is developmental,  forcing it upon them isn’t great mentally for them. They’ll sleep through the night when they’re ready.

Answer

I rocked my daughter to sleep and will still do it sometimes if she wants or needs it. Right now she’s been wanting it cause I think she’s missing me and wants to feel close to me. She just turned 4. I’ve like walked out on her awake only a handful of times. It just doesn’t feel natural to not respond to my kid when they cry. So we’ve never really done sleep training. My first started sleeping through the night between 2-3 years old. But she’s waking again once a night now from nightmares or feeling the urge to pee.

Answer

I have no advice for you, but I sympathize; my daughter is the same way and has been this way since the beginning. I’ve talked to the pediatrician about her terrible sleep at every check up appointment and they just keep telling me to let her cry and overtime she will cry for a shorter duration and learn to soothe herself to sleep. I tried taking that advice but she cries so hard that she makes herself vomit. When she finally does fall asleep, she is such a light sleeper-I swear if you even THINK about her, she wakes up. It always takes over an hour to get her down for the night, and she still ends up crying when I leave the room. Naptimes are non existent as well, she averages one 30 minute nap a day. My older daughter was an amazing sleeper and slept through the night by 6 weeks- and she still loves to sleep! I’ve resigned myself that sleep is always going to be an issue for my May baby.

Answer

Nope, we waited too long to sleep train. By the time we tried she could stand in the crib and cry the whole time without stopping. We stopped really early, like day 2, because she was hyperventilating and would cry if we mentioned going to sleep. 😢
We started rocking her to sleep again and got on a stricter schedule and routine. Bath, bottle, book, and bed by 8pm. 
She doesn’t always go down easy but she did start sleeping all night around week 2-3 of that.
(I also waited too long to take away the middle of the night bottle. We watered it down and gave her extra formula during the day close to the same time as this. It seemed to work for us)

Answer

I’m in the same situation. At this point I just lay with her and put her to sleep that way tgeb move her to crib then she will wake 2 hours later and I’ll put her in bed with me. Honnestly it feels like all night I’m just taking her out or crib puttinf with me and back and forth all night. I’m tired but it is what it is
