What sleep training worked for you?

Question

Little girl has slept through once in over 9 months. Wakes up 3 - 5 x a night crying. I feel selfish, but am so tired, over emotional, and can't go on like this. Especially going back to work soon. 
I've tried bed sharing, but she still wakes up like clockwork crying. Am considering hiring a sleep consultant, but just feel a bit lost with what more to do. 
Any help fellow April baby parents 😴😭

Answer

If you want a plan. Kinda pricey but less than a sleep consultant. Look up “taking cara babies”. It worked like a charm and has totally changed our lives

Answer

Our pediatrician said at this point (9 months) baby should be sleeping through the night, she said if he goes to bed at 7 to not go to him again until 5am. Of course some people on here might view that as cruel. But let me tell you, it worked like a charm. We had one bad night. The next night and every night following he now sleeps 7-7. Sure he wakes up here and there but he doesn’t cry just moves around and gets cozy again. He’s a happy little boy. Do whatever you’re comfortable with, but I can back up that the cry it out method worked for us

Answer

Same thing happened to me and I tried moving her alone in her own room and surprisingly she slept much better from day one. She would wake up, realize there’s no one there and go back to sleep without any crying.  (obviously I didn’t sleep for like a week, checking the camera every hour, but it was worth it).

Answer

I did the sleep training and it was probably the hardest thing but it worked after just one week. I would go in after 5 minutes of him sleeping and just tell him itsgoing to be okay and lay him back down then I went back in 7 minutes did the same thing then 10 minutes did the same thing and then he eventually went to sleep and I did the same thing the second night but instead I extended the amount of time. Now he sleeps through the night, of course there are those rare nights he wakes up and cries a little but now he knows how to soothe himself back to sleep.

Answer

What's her typical wake up/nap schedule/wake times during the day?

Answer

I followed little z’s sleep plan. Best money I ever spent. Our marriage was struggling because we were so sleep deprived. I guess it’s considered controlled crying. We were desperate. Again worth every penny. She’s been sleeping 11-12 hours straight in her room, in her crib. I’m so thankful.

Answer

Our 10 month old on weds was a pretty decent/ wonderful sleeper to begin with. However dur months 5.5 to 8 he woke up 3x at least per night and sometimes would just stay up... i do think extending the response time will help. We wait to get him bc he can & will put himself back to slp. He just woke up to waje up or had a dream. So we give him a good 3 to 5 minutes to see which way he goes. At this age i imagine they dont need all of the nighttime feeds bc there tummy can hold more.
Ftm, just figuring out as i go ya kno. But i can definitely tell the difference between his i need something cry and his whiny cry when he wakes up to be up. It also depends on the time of nifht if he just went down or if its at 3am...
