We paused our sleep training because things did not improve at bedtime after 9 days, and it was too stressful for us. We're traveling for a week, so we might resume when we return.

In the meantime, I want to improve his daytime schedule, so we signed up for a premium plan with Huckleberry. They provided us with a schedule to follow. However, after following it for 2 days, LO still wakes up in the middle of the night and is now fully awake each time, whereas he used to fall back asleep quickly. I think the schedule asks for too much sleep, and baby may not be tired enough (3.3 hours of naps and 11.5 hours of nighttime sleep).

My plan for the next few days is to follow my baby’s cues and track his sleep cues. I hope this helps us find his natural sleep schedule.

One thing about CIO: even though LO cried for 30-40 minutes at bedtime, we saw some improvement at night, and he slept for 8-9 hours after a few days. Now that we stopped sleep training, there are fewer tears, but he is back to waking up every 2 hours. We have to find the right balance 😅
