So my LG is 5 months old and has been fighting her naps for the last 2. I will always try to nurse her or rock her to sleep but sometimes she will go down awake with lullabies / pink noise and a dummy.
Sometimes when she is very overtired she will take a while to get to sleep then start crying a bit before she will fall asleep. I usually leave her for a couple of mins and will only pick her up again if she doesn't settle after a few cries out. Even though I'm sat next to her I feel bad.
Is this bad? I absolutely don't want to do cry it out but is this basically the same? I just want her to get rest and I do know the difference between her just trying to sleep cry vs absolutely not going to sleep need mummy cry.
I guess I'm just anxious I'm doing this all wrong and I'm a shitty mother today 😬
