Any moms who used ferber?
We’ve been trying the Ferber method with our 18 month old the past 4 nights. He was waking every hour for the past 3 months, and I would need to soothe him and sit with him until he fell asleep (I’m 32 weeks pregnant and we really needed to do something as he’s never slept through the night and it was unhealthy for everyone including him). He’s been crying less and less each night, we’re seeing progress but tonight after his bedtime routine (dinner, bath, reading) I told him it was time for bed just like I do every night and he became hysterical, clinging to me and sobbing. He’s never had this reaction at bedtime before the lights are even out. Is this something any one else has dealt with using the Ferber method? I felt so awful putting him in his crib and nothing I could do or say would calm him down. Even though I’m seeing progress this intense reaction is making me wonder if I’m doing the wrong thing by using this method. Help🤦♀️🥺
