Anyone have success with sleep training?
My son is 7 months old, we started with modified Ferber method for sleep training. We put him to bed around 8pm and he cries and falls asleep by 9/10pm. It's been 6 days since we started, he has been settling better than the first night but needs more practice. The issue is that he wakes every hour after that. He'd, wake, I'll feed him, he goes to sleep and wake an hour later and repeat. I haven't worked on his naps yet. He naps when he feels like it (usually lasts 45min and 2 times a day). I'm desperate for at least 4 hours of straight sleep for my mental health.
Hey! My little one is 6 months old. I’ve always tried my best to do the eat play sleep method which seems to work well for us. As well as putting her down awake but drowsy. This took a bit of patience, watching her for her sleep cues and trying to hit the end of her wake window correctly. I did the Ferber method for 2-3 days. Now for her naps I just lay her in her crib and she’s usually a sleep within a few minutes. When we put her down at night though we still give her a little rock/cuddle first.
