Sleep Without Sleep Training

Hi! Have you dropped naps already? Which ones have you kept. Little boy still wakes up at night unless cosleeping… And it’s getting harder to put him down for nap in cot especially 🫠 Thanks

My first question is if anyone uses a baby tracker app for sleep and which one, why? Who follows wake windows, is it important? If you’re timing a nap and your LO wakes up when you transfer them from a contact nap, do you pause the time if longer than 5 minutes? How do the pauses work if so? Are you waking your LOs at a set time in the morning? I have a now 12 week old who usually goes to bed around 9pm, takes 5 naps a day with one being short around 7pm. She wakes up 2x at night, 1am and 4am, but that 4am is hard to get her back to sleep. Does anyone have any recommendations to help get her to 6 or 7 am? The late bedtime and early mornings are killing me

My daughter will scream until I hold her, to the point she will cough and gag if he’s trying to console her and she wants me. It’s exhausting. She doesn’t sleep and only wants me. She’s 10 months old up every hour. Help! I’m so depressed and desperate for sleep.

My LB is 19 months old. He has never been a solid sleeper, he has always woke multiple times at night crying, he has always been great at going to bed and going down for naps, always got himself to sleep. Recently he needs someone in the room with him until he falls asleep. He wakes during the night and he won’t go back to sleep or lay down in his cot he wants into our room and into our bed with us. This means one of us has to get out of the bed and go to the spare room to make room for him.

All help and advise greatly appreciated TTC#2 so would love this not to be the situation

Hi all! My name is Aleni and I am a Baby-Led Sleep and Well Being specialist (working with Alicia).

I am the Mama to a beautiful, highly sensitive 3-year-old daughter named Nora. When my daughter was about 4 months old, she wasn't sleeping through the night and the first thing our pediatrician said to us was to sleep train with the cry it out method. When we got home, we tried to sleep train for her nap and I couldn't do it for more than 5 minutes. My heart and mama instincts were telling me "No! This doesn't feel right. I don't want to do this to her. I can't make her cry herself to sleep."

Looking for help, answers, and support, I came across the Baby-Led Sleep approach. I felt so hopeful, supported, and empowered. I knew my mama instincts were right and I was making the best decision for my daughter. I now help parents feel empowered to support their baby's sleep instinctually. I help them understand sleep from an attachment aspect allowing them to intuitively making changes to things that are no longer working for their family.

I’m so glad to be apart of this community! ♥️
