Sleep Training methods???

Question

So my baby does everything well. He is a bit of an attention seeker but overall he’s just a regular crying baby. Take his naps 2/3 times a day for 30mins-1hr but at night is when he’s constantly waking up I’ve been trying to sleep train him but idk nothing works. What sleep training methods have you guys tried and recommend are very effective????????

Answer

We did extinction (cry it out) at 6 months. We still wanted to keep one feed so we have a limit of when I would go in to nurse (first few days I refused to go in until after 12am) and then she would gradually end up sleeping later on her own. Half of the time she still wakes once a night, usually after an 8-9 hour chunk but having sleep trained her this way, I know her cries better and know if she would be able to put herself back to sleep or if she  needs me. The other half of the time she sleeps all the way through the night with no wakes. I Totally agree with the comment to be consistent. It took one night to see a difference (waking every 1-2 hrs to waking after 5-6 hours which was huge at the time!) and each night she would sleep a little longer, but there were also several nights of set backs where she would cry more than normal. Overall, it took about 3-4 weeks to nail it and now she goes to bed happy, unless overtired and her naps have gotten longer. Her first nap is 1.5-2hrs and second is 1-1.5hrs long. Sleep training was a life saver for our family! I wish you luck and strength in whatever method you choose!

Answer

Whatever you do you need to be consistent! Give each method at least 10 days before you give up.
We did Ferber (timed checks), giving babe a solid bedtime routine, putting her down awake, and letting her fuss for a few minutes before checking. If she wakes up at night fussing or crying we wait at least 10 minutes to see if she can go back to sleep. 
We stick to a daytime schedule and a consistent bedtime.
Many parents worry about letting their baby cry- in our experience our baby cried a little for a few days but now never cries at bedtime or naps unless she is overtired when she is going down. She’s overall very happy and relaxed about bed, loves her crib and wakes up playing. The initial adjustment period is worth it for a well-rested and cheerful baby!

Answer

My son could never sleep on his own, constantly had to rock him and I felt like it would never end ... one night I bottle fed him in his cot, when he was finished he rolled over and fell asleep. Ever since then he sleeps on his own whether he has a bottle or not, and if he wakes up during the night he can just put himself back to sleep
I don’t know how this worked but it did..!
