Has anyone sleep trained and regretted it?

Question

Answer

The only thing I regret about it was not doing it earlier 😂

Answer

I tried sleep training my first due to pressure from others.  It only worked temporarily because they go through regressions and leaps that mess with their sleep schedule.  I STILL feel guilt for having done it and she’s 17 years old.  Not for me.  My son is 17 months and sleeps through the night most nights and learned how to do that entirely on his own when he was ready.

Answer

No, I’ve never regretted that my I could lay my kid down awake with no crying! 🤣

Answer

Why would anyone regret it? There are so many benefits for not only the baby but you also.

Answer

I sleep trained at 13 months after swearing I would never let my baby cry themselves to sleep. I have seen the light now. No regrets at all. I realize now my daughter and I were both suffering with exhaustion from no sleep. It hurt her naps and she was cranky. Took 2 weeks and it was so hard, but now she sleeps amazing. She slept 13-15 hours a night for about 5 months. Now she sleeps about 12 hours a night. I had to just let her cry herself to sleep and self soothe even though it made me feel awful. Now if she wakes up at night she falls right back to sleep and she is happier now that she is rested. Its not for everyone, but it was right for us.

Answer

Hiring a sleep consultant is the BEST decision we ever made. There’s a very common misconception that sleep training only means letting you child scream endlessly until they fall asleep.

Answer

I don’t regret it cause she sleeps SO good on her own but I do miss snuggling with her. She won’t even snuggle with me when she’s tired she likes to sprawl out and be alone lol.
