Hi y’all, I have been working towards sleep training my almost 7 month old for a few weeks now. She is very sensitive and we have moved her from co-sleeping to sleeping in her crib gradually. She was making progress with falling asleep with less and less help up until about a week ago. Lately when she gets worked up emotionally at bedtime it will induce a silent reflux episode which makes her scream in pain and takes a long time to settle her afterwards by holding upright. I think it’s giving her a negative association with the crib and undoing our progress, bedtime is a battle that takes an hour minimum.
Does anyone have advice for sleep training a reflux baby? I desperately want to sleep train her and get time back in the evenings/more sleep myself. She is medicated. She is fine laying flat on her back at all other times of the day. Her wake windows have been 2/2.5/2.5/3 but we just switched to 2.5/3/3/3.5 at the suggestion of a sleep consultant. She gets around 2 hours total daytime sleep. Bedtime routine is bath/pjs and sleep sack/boob/book and white noise/bed.
