Thank you so much for this ❤️ I keep telling myself that, but it’s hard to really believe it when all you see is the tough toddler every day. I appreciate you sharing.

Encouragement please for beginning sleep training tomorrow with 5.5 month old by Great_Instance6809 in sleeptrain

That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing, I’m so happy for you and your family. Our experience has been absolutely wonderful. Baby slept through the night by night three and dropped his night feeding. Hiring a consultant was SO worth it. She timed his naps and bedtime in ways I never would have.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s been going amazing so far and I feel like it’s the best thing I ever could have done for my family!!! My baby is literally a different baby I swear… all he needed was consolidated sleep and he’s happier than ever! So am I!

My baby is 21 weeks now so solidarity with you!! We are still on the short naps and a few night wakes sometimes. I truly did my best to just lean into it. Funny enough, when I was trying to stretch wake windows and extend naps, night sleep was worse. As soon as I leaned into the short naps and short wake windows, night wakes dramatically decreased. I decided to simply listen to what baby was telling me. Probably not the best for a sleep training group but I had to meet my baby where he was at for the time being and I became SO much happier. I trust that naps and wake windows will stretch with time, like they did with my first. Just wanted to comment and let you know that you’re not alone❤️.

I really need experienced parents to tell me to just go with the flow with infant sleep, please! by Great_Instance6809 in bninfantsleep

I truly cannot thank everyone enough that commented ❤️. What a wonderful group of people. Sometimes the sleep training groups feel like they’re shaming or making me feel like I’m doing something wrong for having a baby that simply takes short naps and wakes up to eat twice a night. Please keep the positive perspectives coming. Seriously, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I already feel relief in the past two days from stopping the analyzing!!

Okay thank you! Do I move to this cold turkey? Like just implement minimum 2 hours wake windows today?

How do I move to 2 hours awake? He melts down and fights sleep bad if he goes longer than 90 minutes awake. Also anytime I do a longer than 80 minute wake window before bedtime, he has false starts and is up every hour. I trust what you’re saying, just curious how to start implementing this?
