Are you sleep training already?

Question

I see so many people posting about sleep training. We’ve decided to wait, but I’m curious how many other people are waiting. 
For a while I felt pressure to sleep train my baby, but I don’t think we’re ready for it yet. I’m so glad I’ve decided to wait. He sleeps through the night sometimes (8:45-6) and sometimes wakes 1-2 times to nurse and snuggle. It’s working for us now, but I feel like we’re in the minority.

Answer

I am not waiting, am not going to do it.

Answer

Babies need their mamas. My first didn’t sleep through the night until 17 months or so and now he sleeps like a champ, but he still has periods of night wakings during growth spurts. I will not be “training” my daughter either, she sleeps with me though so it’s easy to comfort her during the night without actually getting up. Sleep is developmental and babies will sleep through the night WHEN they are ready. Just my opinion. I understand why some people have to sleep train though.

Answer

We’re in the middle of it now. Our son would fall asleep on his own, then wake up 20-30 minutes later and need us to rock him for 2 hours before he’d settle back down to sleep. He wasn’t getting the sleep he needs and, quite frankly, I missed having the evenings to have time to myself or spend time with my husband. When we realized that us going in and out of his room to rock/comfort him and give him his pacifier was only making things worse, we realized it was time to sleep train. He still wakes once a night to nurse, which I’m fine with, but he had trouble falling asleep and we wanted to nip that in the bud before it got any worse.

Answer

My daughter is super " Go with the flow" so she essentially sleep trained herself. I take zero credit! I think listening to babies cues is important.
My son nursed twice a night well past six months and he didn't develop his own good sleep habits until he was 2ish.  Just a different personality. He STILL wakes up at night sometimes while my 5 month old baby snoozes the night away from 7pm till 7am 🙃

Answer

We trained at 4 months - he sleeps from 7pm to 7am without feeding. Gotta do what works best for you and your family!

Answer

I think if you have something that works don't fix what's not broken! For us we started right at 5 months after doing research and talking with her pediatrician. She was really struggling most nights and we were in her room multiple times a night before I would give up and end up with her on the couch. I missed my husband and she needs good sleep. She still wakes to eat 2 times, but she sleeps so much better now. But, it's important to do what you think is right for you 😁

Answer

I waited until 10 months with my daughter and she cried for 5 minutes and never had another issue. I dont think this baby is ready yet. I could do it I'm sure but I want to make it painless for both if us.

Answer

Just started sleep training my son, 1/2 hour routine, shower lotion jammies bottle snuggle bed. I put him down and within 10 minutes he’s out. He was going through a bad sleep regression and it was changing him. Now he’s a much happier baby throughout the day. I miss our bedtime snuggles but the nightmares of me rolling over him have stopped so that’s a plus.
