Sleeping training at 5 months

Candace • Wife ❤️ Girl Mom❤️🐶 mom

I wanted to share our sleep training journey so far! We use the ” Taking Cara Babies” modified ferber method. Friday was the first night and it took her 25 minutes to fall asleep and she woke up 3 times for 53 total minutes of crying. We tried sleep training during naps ( which was the plan) but after two short naps we decided to pivot and let her nap on us. Which brings me to last night, she slept 11.5 hrs straight! Zero wake-up’s. No crying at bedtime and went to sleep in 6 minutes! It was insane! I am still in shock. Charlotte ( my first child) took 4 nights to sleep through the night!!! I know that sleep isn’t linear and that tonight she could have wake ups and it won’t always be this easy but I slept 8 hrs straight last night and feel amazing!!! We will work on naps today and hopefully it goes better too. Naps use a different part of the brain so they are much harder.

It was a fantastic night!!!!
