@bobezeh Also it isn’t your fault! Just like some babies are big and some are small, some are good sleepers and some aren’t. I was you, my baby was waking 6-10 times a night. I was a zombie. My SIL had a baby in March and she’s been sleeping through since 4 weeks. Our experiences are so polar...

@shane26 Glad that worked out for you but assisting to sleep is not working out for OP obviously, as they’re here on a sleep training sub looking for advice. Everyone has a gut feeling against hearing their LO cry, sometimes you make the tough decision to do so for safety, mental health and...

@shane26 Sounds like you were assisting to sleep though, I believe OP is trying to sleep train. It’s quite rare for the 1st night to result in less than 30 min of protest.

@bobezeh It’s really hard but by letting her cry only 30 min you’ll probably never get the desired result and it’s actually very unfair to her. I wouldn’t try again until you can commit to asleep vs a time limit.

@quangqui007 Enough diapers? If so keep latching! If not, supplement with a syringe or sns if possible

@katvan1969 How long do you give before assisting with the night wake?

@katvan1969 Does she fall asleep independently?

@katvan1969 2 hours of day sleep is recommended at 12 months on 2 naps, I would not cap naps that much at 6 months.

@lvmangione Slumber pod or travel blackouts

@ellemess The silent darkness is the worst lol one time my husband and I watched a movie in the hotel bathroom lol

I should have also asked, do you leave her in the crib after a short nap? And is she sleep trained?

@bluesky123 I’d try a bit longer ww to get you to at least a 6pm bedtime to try and reset. Adding a nap adds awake time and is perpetuating the over-tiredness. That’s what we did and it worked so we did 2/2.25/2.5/2.5 and then a few scenarios depending on last nap: - wake between 2-3 from last...

@walkbyfaith89 Only add 15-30 min of wake time every couple of days, sounds like you added potentially 2 hours in 1 day. Just scale it back tomorrow and add some time to your last ww only to start.

@hischild1002 Are you putting her down awake when you’ve tried sleep training? Unclear to me based on your bedtime routine. Move the bottle to the start of the routine. Avoid any drowsiness in the last wake window and into the crib wide awake. Also yes 5 hours of daytime sleep is way too much...

@slyanimal Definitely! My 18 month old can do this as well!

@danish84v Yea it’s possible, but doesn’t mean it will happen for your baby. Sounds like a strong sleep association. Falling asleep independently will greatly reduce your night wakes.

@gebphoenix I wouldn’t be trying to night wean at 4 months. Every baby is different, she might need feeds in the night for a bit longer. Generally night weaning isn’t recommended before 6 months at the youngest. How is initial bedtime going? Feed ending 30th min before bedtime?

@mjkobe If you don’t want to enforce consequences on social stuff pick a different consequence and make sure she knows about it before, ie if you do x I’ll do x. If it’s a surprise that’s usually where the rage comes in.

@instrument150 You’ve got this! 1 hour and 10 min for the first night for us. For months and months (hopefully years) of 1000% better sleep. There will be bumps in the road and don’t expect your journey to be linear.

@beloved926 100%! He’s getting enough sleep in the day isn’t tired in the early morning when it’s hardest to fall back to sleep.
