No crying sleep training?

Question

Have any of you ladies successfully sleep trained without letting baby cry? Is that even possible? What is the most gentle way to go about it. I have such a severe physical (and ofcourse emotional) response to my baby crying I cannot stand letting her cry alone. Even if I’m trying to console her before picking her up from crib I can’t handle more than a minute. Please any and all tips are appreciated. Idk how to go about this as a FTM. I just know the typical forms of sleep training feel really unnatural for me. Idk what to do tbh lol. I’m managing ok right now with her 4 wake ups (5 months in a week) Bc I don’t work yet and can nap when she does through the day if I need to. But i am going back to work when she is 6 months and I know that with working full time and the lack of sleep I won’t be the best mom/partner/boss I can be. Any gentle sleep training tips appreciated! TIA

Answer

To be honest, no method will be cry free. She’s going to cry simply because she isn’t getting what she wants right when she wants it, and she will only get worse if ur response each time is to give in and pick her up when she does cry. Best thing u can do is look into gentle sleep training methods, and even make modifications that u feel more comfortable with. Whatever u decide, consistency is key. But ur baby is going to cry regardless if it’s something out of the ordinary.

We tried the pick up put down method. It didnt really work for us, but you could look it up. Its a minimal crying method
