Have you started sleep training yet? Are you going to?

Question

Uhhhh I’m so nervous about doing it.

Answer

Nope, not doing it either. If my baby is crying because he needs me then I will take care of him. This is only temporary. One day he's going to wake up and not cry for me. I've been told it all goes by so fast. So I'm embracing the good and the bad.

Answer

Sleep training does not mean cry it out 🙄. It just means teaching your baby fall asleep without sleep aids. Cry it out is ONE method among many.

Answer

No.  I believe babies sleep and wake when they need to and i follow queues

Answer

No and if it makes you feel nervous then you probably shouldn’t do it! Having realistic expectations and understanding of normal biological baby sleep is a better idea :)

Answer

Sleep training means many different hings to many different people...
For me, I am currently nursing my baby to sleep for every nap, bedtime and night feed. I would love to be able to get to a point where I can put him down drouzy but awake and for him to calmly and peacefully drift off. No crying involved.
That is sleep training in my opinion. I have literally starting taking baby steps this last week, tiny tiny little adjustments here and there.
I'm fairly happy to nurse to sleep, but I'd love in the evenings for my husband to be able to respond to him if he wakes and needs comfort, rather than it always being me and my one trick. Also, I don't want to get to a point if this regression hits, and he's waking multiple times, and I nurse him when he doesn't really need food - then he won't be hungry enough the next day, and then the following night he will actaulyl wake for hunger... And so the cycle goes.
So yeah, I am sleep training, but a very mild, gentle form which involves no distress to my little boy whatsoever, we are taking it very slow, and if at any point he gets upset I will go back a step and meet him where he is comfortable
Sleep training doesn't have to mean crying or an upset baby. That method of course will work for some and be preferred, and I say to each their own with no judgement. Parenting is hard x

Answer

Nope, we won’t be sleep training.

Answer

Nope! We put him down asleep in his crib and he naps fine and wakes up fine so I’m not worried about it plus I HATE letting my baby cry so I wouldn’t be a good candidate 😅 I get him right away when he fusses or cries clingy mama probs 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Were going to soon but if you’re nervous then you shouldn’t do it. Sleep training ( like all parenting decisions) only works if you and your partner are 100% on board. If it’s not for you, that’s okay. Don’t try to force something that does t work for your family.

Answer

Answer
