Sleep training, controlled crying - any success??

Question

We're on day 3 of sleep training our 3 month old; very gently - patting / gradual retreat method. Despite this she cries a lot and really wants to suck, but that's the habit we're trying to break. I know it might be a bit young but I'm not coping with all the sleep loss... Does anyone have any success stories with sleep training or controlled crying? We only ever leave her for a minute or two but in that time my heart breaks!! First time mom.

Answer

Thats too young..

Answer

Like others have said, this is too long. You need to look at how YOU can sleep more, not baby. 
I bedshare with my four month old and this means minimal interruptions because I’m right there and can handle my DD needs within seconds. 
Studies show mothers who bf and bedshare get the most sleep. There are SAFE ways to bedshare but you need to look into it.

Answer

I suggest reading Precious Little Sleep (there’s also a podcast of the same name to get a feel for what the book is about). It outlines different age-appropriate sleep training approaches with some humor sprinkled in. Ultimately you know you baby best! Good luck!

Answer

We sleep trained at 3 months, we did straight up CIO and my son cried for an hour one day, 20 minutes day 2, my daughter basically didn't cry. Every kid is different.

Answer

Way to young. We sleep trained at 8 months, worked fine. At three months it won't work
