My daughter has been a fairly good sleeper for a while and in the last 2 weeks she’s been horrible. Will sleep a couple hours and then will be up every hour after that. I’m so sleep deprived and emotional. So after advice from my NP cousin, we’re trying to sleep train tonight. She did pretty good so far. She slept 7 hours. Went down at 7:30 was up at 10 but I put her paci in and she slept again until 3:20. Great! Well she ate and now she’s been screaming for the last half hour. I changed her. She’s fed. Gave her gripe water. Burped her. So im letting her cry because 5am is way to early to wake up but she is SO strong willed that she’s screaming herself horse.

I gave her 5 minutes and went in and put her paci in and out my hand on her chest. She was fine. Less than 2 minutes later was screaming again. So I gave it 7 minutes and went in and did the same thing. Quieted right down. Left the room and same thing! So I just let her scream and just went back in to put her paci in AGAIN.

She’s fed. She’s dry. I tried burping her and she just screamed at me. I know she wants to be up for the day but 7 hours of sleep at night is not enough for a baby.

She fell asleep now but I know it won’t last long. So here’s to an early morning full of screaming. 😭😴
