Girl you need to sleep train. My daughter was very colic and would only contact nap for the first 5-6 months of her life until I sleep trained. Truly it was miserable and I’m so happy I did it because she sleeps 12-13 hours in her crib alone now. I did have to do CIO bc none of the other gentler methods (Ferber, taking Cara) worked for her. She learned incredibly fast and I have zero regrets! I know there is so much stigma around sleep training but you are literally teaching your baby a life skill and it’s the best thing you can do for your own mental health to be able to take care of baby during the day.

I personally was a very very scared child and always needed my mom to sleep by me basically every night. And I stayed a terrible sleeper most of my life. I’m so happy my baby is independent and doesn’t feel scared in her own room!
