New sleep changes

Do you rock or nurse her to sleep when you first put her down?

I nurse her 20 ish minutes before bedtime and I try not to rock unless she is really not having it, like tonight I read her a book while holding her until she fell asleep

You might try putting her down more awake so that she falls asleep in the crib or wherever she sleeps. I read somewhere that if they fall asleep in your arms and wake up in their crib it's startling and they have a harder time soothing themselves back to sleep. We were on the same schedule with the false starts and since we've been practicing having him fall asleep in the crib the false starts have been getting better. I do really miss holding him to sleep though

My little one is going through sleep recession too. But he wakes up between 2-4am.

mine is waking around 2-4 as well he used to wake up once in the night now he wakes up like 2-3 times 😩

how do you go about doing that? She fusses if she isn’t being held to sleep and then will cry/scream until she’s picked up, I’ve tried rocking or holding till she’s almost asleep and then putting her down but she becomes alert immediately and starts crying

@Nelmarie yeah that's so hard. For bed time I will hold and rock and sing a song then lay him down while I'm singing. I keep my hand on his chest until he settles and starts to seem sleepy and then I'll pull my hand and try walking away. We also use a pacifier, though he has been rejecting that lately. If he just fusses I stick to the hand on the chest, if he cries I'll try for signing and shushing with hand on the chest for maybe 30 seconds to see if he'll calm down. If not, I'll pick up and start over. It has taken a lot of practice and I started with the naps and then worked on bedtime.

mine will wake up and if I put him back he’ll keep waking up until I finally give up and let him co sleep
