Has anyone else found sleep training hard with their little one having reflux? Since our baby boy turned 5 months he became a lot harder to put down for his bedtime and it became obvious we needed to start sleep training him. I got into some bad habits of feeding him to sleep and then keeping him upright contact sleeping on me for 30 minutes before transferring him to the cot. So now at 6 months we avoid this and place him in his cot awake but for night feeds the upright contact sleep has to happen to help with his reflux so I feel like any progress we make with him learning to fall asleep on his own in his cot is undone by the night feeds. Any help or advice would be so helpful!

This is literally us! Sorry no advice but in a very similar position. I’m desperate to gently help my baby fall asleep independently as bed times and naps are becoming tough to get him to sleep, but we have to hold him upright. When he was younger he would fall asleep in that time. Now if I put him awake Into his cot, he immediately rolls onto his tummy and throws up! So I have no choice but to get him to sleep by holding/rocking and then put him down 🤦🏻♀️ it’s been this way for months

We used Alison Scott wrights baby sleep plan book and saw her for 1:1s she’s an absolute guru when it comes to sleep training and reflux
