My 5.5 month old is up every hour-2 hours throughout the night. It’s not a growth spurt it is every night. The only thing that gets her back to sleep is nursing. She screams if we try to just bounce or rock, and hates a pacifier. We are thinking maybe if my husband suffers through the crying and holds her until she’s back to sleep for a few nights this may be a gentler method of sleep training than letting her totally cry it out in her crib. I haven’t read much on sleep training. I work full time and am a full time student. So any quick tips or helpful ideas on sleep training would be great. Thanks!!!

PS her sitter sleep trained for nap time by letting her cry it out for ten minutes, then 15, and so on. and it worked great, so I know it works. she is an amazing napper, but I just hate to sit and listen to her cry. Especially when I’m trying to sleep at night! It’s just seems so much easier to nurse and get back to sleep in the moment.
