Ferber method

Having the same issue, following this :)

I’ve done it, worked within days and I still continue to do it now however it’s very rare he cries anymore ☺️

I did a modified version when the 4 month regression hit, it worked within 3 nights.
He then got ill about a month later and “forgot” how to fall asleep 🫠 (I think he just likes the cuddles) but once he’s over this new cold, I’ll be doing it again 😴

This was literally me few weeks ago. It actually worked. Didn’t go strictly with their time though. Personally can’t watch my baby cry for too long.

We had that, I played with her wake windows, naps and bedtime timings and she's now feeling 2-3 times a night, asleep 10min later (down from 7-8 wakes)

My daughter was really high sleep needs and only slept when she was rocked to sleep (day and night) so when she was about 7 months I started living by Huckleberry wake windows for naps and we did a soft version of cry it out. The French have a method called “Le Pause” which sounds much nicer - you put baby in bed drowsy but awake and “pause” for 5 minutes when they cry before going back in and resettling. It’s surprising how long 5 minutes feels when you’re timing it, and often she’d end up settling or falling asleep herself. With us, her being overtired was a big factor, so cracking the naps was also key. I know 90% of people are against sleep training, but a well rested mother, father and baby makes such a difference 💓🤗

How often are they waking? do they have a dummy? We ditched the dummy and he went from about 6/7 wakes a night to 2/3 at most for milk. He then got poorly and started waking a lot again but he needed comfort.

It seems like a lot of may babies are having trouble sleeping at the moment.
