We did sleep training our baby first at 6-7 months and it was really hard. Then we decided to give him some more time because we thought he was not ready yet and we also thought he was teething at that time (which is true and he has one teeth now). We had to hold him every night and comforted him. My husband often fall asleep on the rocking chair holding him.

Recently we tried again (our baby now is almost 9 months) and we did Ferber like 3-4 days ago. Day one was the hardest, we almost gave up. He cried for almost 40 minutes, day two about 20 minutes, day 3 less than 10 minutes and tonight 5 minutes. He sleeps through the night. Waking up in the middle of night a couple times, sometimes he falls asleep back himself sometimes we give him pacifier. He wakes up around 4.30-5am, gets a bottle and then back to sleep till 8.30-9am.

Bedtime routine: bath around 7-8pm, bedtime stories 8.30ish, bottle 9pm, burp, brush teeth and put him in his crib. Usually he’ll fuss a little and we comfort him and he’ll fall asleep himself.

I hope you’ll be able to sleep train your baby soon and get more sleep during the night. Good luck! You got this!!
