If you used the pick up/put down method, did it work?

yeah same lol

I personally think that a quicker method like Ferber or CIO is better for baby. But I wouldn’t say that’s a fact.
Studies have shown that short term stress has no real effect on baby within 3-7 days where longer more chronic stress (continued sleep training past 7 days) does.
Research also shows that sleep difficulty or continued waking leads to anxiety and depression later in life.
Which ever method feels right for you and baby I would say all are effective methods as long as you are sleep training. For CIO and Ferber, I would suggest not continuing past night 7.
My first was good within 7 days using Ferber. My second I had to switch to pick up/put down and he took a little over a month in total. A less stressful method was better for him.

I did that method with my first and it took her just the same amount of time if not longer to self settle in the end than my other kids that I just would pick up and hold. It was a lot more stressful doing pickup/down. Im sure it was for my baby too /:

I tried it and it didn’t work. I did end up sleep training because my sleep deprivation caused me to fall asleep with my baby in the car and get into an accident. It was over within 3 days. It was really rough, but both me and my baby are getting sleep now. I saw a big improvement in him as well as me. I went in every 5 minutes and rubbed his back and told him how much I loved him.

sorry, but I think this is ridulous. Babies are rarely able to sleep through the night. They are designed to wake up and need their care giver for whatever reason. Saying that frequent waking, where they wake and feel safe and their needs to always met no matter what time of day it is, will not be a cause for stress or anxiety later in life! It will develop a secure and strong attachment. In fact, sleep training, where they learn that their needs will not be met at night, regardless of their cries, is more likely to cause stress and anxiety in later life!

I never said their needs shouldn’t be met.
And yes, sleep deprivation is a thing that has lasting effects on children and babies. Please, do your research it’s not just about your feelings.
Sleep training, when done correctly, is not bad nor is it neglectful. By no means is someone who’s pro sleep training telling people to neglect their baby through the night. I’m sure there are extreme cases where someone might cover up bad parenting by saying it’s sleep training when it’s not.
There are many different methods used today from CIO to the no tears method. It’s okay if you use any of these that you are comfortable with.
Babies should be sleeping up to 6hrs on average at night by 6 months and increases to 8hrs by 12 months. That’s good for their development.
Teaching baby to self sooth is important for development as well as creating happy well adjusted children that have good sleep habits. All of these can help with cognitive development, immune system, and even growth.

@Kimberley we tried ferber twice. Worked for a while but then went back to norm. Have started nursing again to sleep. He's 15 months and feeds and back to sleep once during the night so hoping that he will just stop when ready. Thanks for this comment ❤️🫂
