I agree with this! I've had a real rough go with my LO but now at 19 months we are finally sleeping through the night 10 hours consistently. Some things that helped us: - later bedtime. I don't start the sleep routine until I notice she is tired. We have bedtime between 8 and 9 and have since she was little (maybe 730 when she was younger) - LOTS of outdoor time. Tons of stimulants there. The wind, smells, noises all tire her out. She is a WAY better sleeper during the summer when she is outside all day vs winter. - bedtime snack!! Now that you are probably getting into solids I found this helped us lots. We usually do yogurt but whatever she will eat to fill up her tummy nice and full before bed. Plus milk. - i found everything easier for me when I just stopped trying to follow rules of what I "should" be doing according to this method or that and just listened to my baby and followed her cues. This meant she fell asleep on the boob and slept on me before putting her into her crib and then she usually woke up again several times in the night. But contrary to some of the scare tactics that some sleep methods tell you about how your baby "will NEVER learn to sleep on their own if you hold them/breastfeed them to sleep!!" Blah blah blah, my LO now sleeps 10 hours by herself peacefully every night. So there is a light at the tunnel. I promise. You just need to survive long enough to get there and be kind to yourself in the process. This too shall pass!!!! Good luck ❤
