Question

Can the no crying mothers give some insights on bed transitions?

Answer

Lots of mothers do it. I personally could not after taking psychology classes and looking at studies of how it changes the infants brain when they are left to cry and realize no one is coming to comfort them. Go with your mom gut with whatever feels right. Look at pros and cons of both. Good luck momma

Answer

We're sleep training right now. But not using the cry it out method.  It works for some but it's just not for us.

Answer

I don't let my baby excessively cry, but fuss here and then I'll let it go, most nights she prefers to put herself to sleep 🤷🏼‍♀️ makes me sad but I figure if I let her that's just one step ahead. She wakes up in the middle of the night cooing and if it goes on for more than 20-30 min then I'll tend to her, change feed. Rock. But even then she doesn't go back to sleep so I just put her back in her crib, puts herself back to sleep.

Answer

We sleep trained our first at six months and will be doing it with our March baby when she’s old enough. It took three nights and has slept twelve hours since. He’s two now. He has slept through teething, ear infections, and colds. He puts himself to sleep. I have absolutely no regrets. It was one of the best decisions we ever made for him. He then started to get a predictable schedule and was a much happier baby.

Answer

It’s not the way we parent but it works for others.

Answer

I sleep trained my daughter at 4 months. No regrets. She’s healthy and happy baby. It sucks the first week but it’s worth it. It’s not like your baby is gonna be crying forever, it’ll only be a week or two before your baby learns to fall asleep and self sooth.

Answer

Didn’t do CIO with my first. And transitioning to a big boy bed was a nightmare. Now at 3 almost 4 he’s still an awful sleeper. 
Did CIO with my daughter at 8 months. Lasted 2 nights. After that we could put her in bed and she would go straight to sleep no problem. And now at 20 months she’s an amazing sleeper still and we transitioned to a big girl bed no problem. 
My 3 rd baby girl is 4.5 months now. But when she hits 6 months I’m going to start sleep training her using CIO.

Answer

I'm in the process of sleep training my son, but we're not using the cry it out method. He's sleeping 10 to 12 hours ar night already at 4 months old. I recommend the Happy Sleeper book, it teaches how to sleep train without the baby having to cry it out. It'll also give advice  for certain situations like sleep regression, teething, milestones, etc.
