Sleep training
I’d like to start sleep training. I’ve attempted to do this for nap times recently but struggling because as I lay her down in the cot (sleepy), she will immediately sit herself and start crawling around. I leave her, go in and settle her when she’s crying but the other day it was an hour of trying before I gave up and put her on me to sleep!
Any tips please? Where do I start?
Always make sure the wake window is spot on. I put my boy down happy and wide awake. I give him his little lovey and he plays with it untill falling asleep. I shut the blinds and out the white noise machine on. It did take a bit of work to get here though. I did let him cry for about 5-10 minutes and would go in and stroke his head and repeat. Initially it took 3 times of going in but each nap was easier and less minutes of crying. Took about 3 days. However he was about 4 months old so it might take a little longer for an older baby x
