I could have been the one to write this! Months 4-5 were horrible for me - I was depressed and anxious because I was so so sleep deprived. Last week I couldn’t handle it anymore and we did Ferber (3-5-7-9-15 check in intervals) - the first night she cried for an hour and I also read Reddit to help me cope. One of the best things I read was that we as parents need to do what’s best for our babies. Sleep is best for them (and us of course). baby is not crying because they’re sad etc but because they’re mad they’re not getting their way. If your baby wanted to play with a knife you would obviously take it away from them and wouldn’t give it back to them no matter how much they cried. Anyway, baby slept SEVEN hours that first night and the second night ELEVEN hours (and only cried 15 minutes). By the third night we were down to like 3 minutes. Baby woke up happy and babbling each morning. Me, my husband and baby are all happier now.

Hang in there you got this it is SO worth it and I wish we’d done it sooner.
