Gentle sleep training!

pr

So we have been gently sleep training our baby girl for around 10 days - she always breastfed to sleep and I’d hold her until she was properly asleep before putting her down!

Now she will feed before bed and some naps but I always make sure she is awake before she goes into her cot and she goes to sleep.

The only thing is she likes to see me or hold my hand while she goes to sleep.

I’m just wondering if I’m just creating a new sleep association! I’m hoping in a couple of weeks she will be happy enough to go off on her own.

For anyone who doesn’t want to sleep train in the usual way then I’d definitely recommend doing it gently. My husband is now able to put our baby to bed! It’s been life changing for me 😂
