Sleep training

I have a 1 year old that I want to start sleep training with. I don’t really agree with sleep training but for my sanity I feel like it has come to the stage that I have no choice. What methods are the gentlest approach to use and what did other people find worked for them?

I hear ya! We only trained our 15 month old last month. I was so against it as I was bed sharing with her and breastfeeding her to sleep, but with another on the way, we couldn't sustain it. We followed Lucy Wolfe- the baby sleep solution. By night 3, she was sleeping through the night and is now napping in her crib with no problems at all! The whole process lasted about 2 weeks and it could take up to an hour some nights but you would sit right next to them until they fall asleep. There were tears on night 1 and nothing after that! I highly recommend it 👌

oh wow I can’t believe it works that quickly! It’s taking us hours to get her to sleep now so even an hour would be an improvement. I will look into that method thank you 😊

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
