Hi! I successfully sleep trained my now 3 year old when he was 7 months. Text book case - took 2 nights, it was magic.
Baby 2 is providing soo tough! Main difference is she is breastfed and he wasn’t. She got very used to falling asleep on boob which we have completely stopped. She’s independent for naps and bed time, and some night wakes but having a hard time dropping 1 am & 3 am (then sometimes 5am before wake at 7 for the day) I believe these are both habit wakes!
We started sleeping training a week ago and it has not been going well. Some nights were great and some horrific. We let her cio for a bit and then go in if very escalated. Girl can hold her own. She is relentless. Some night I have had to nurse because even rocking her won’t soothe her.
She is teething and almost crawling so I’m not sure how to sleep train through those or if it’s having a bit impact. Can I? Anything different to do there?
Typical windows are 2.5/3/3.5 but I try to aim for 3/3.25/3.5. She is very sensitive to being over tired.
Please help. It’s been months of multiple wakes and I am not the mother I know I can be. I am full or rage most days and totally failing.
Thank you in advance.
Oh and I’ve also paid a sleep consultant $500 who’s been zero help and basically just said to let her cry even if it takes hours, ugh.
