My first time tonight too! I feel you!!
Thanks everyone! I’m worried I’ll be up all night because he normally wakes up many times a night and I feed him back to sleep
It's ok, you got this. The first few nights are hard and you will probably be up more than usual. But I promise you it will get better. A behaviour always increases before it decreases. Just stay consistent. Good luck! You got this! 💪🫶
Thanks so much guys! And good luck @Celine ❤️ first one of the night went well! Asleep on his own after only 12 minutes of intermittent crying
What did you do can you tell me please? I want to try this method x
@Melissa thanks! So what do I do at check in? X
Depends. You can just rub their back/belly, give them their soother (if they have one), reassure them with your words, or pick them up to calm them. I guess it depends on how hard they are crying. But only spend about 2 minutes or less with them. Just enough to calm thme down then put them back down and leave again. Reset the timer if they start crying again. Feel free to PM me if you want.
You got this! Deep breaths. It's okay to step out and take a break if you need to. First time can take a while but keep at it and stay consistent, they pick it up fairly fast.
