Is there a way to gently sleep train my breastfeed baby?

The best book I've read on this is the baby sleep book by dr sears- super gentle methods and really goes into depth about various sleep issues/ baby temperament etc

Just came to say my baby’s the exact same! It’s hard out here. X

This is really normal and really hard but you’re not going anything wrong, see if you can find Lyndsey hookway on insta xx

Does cuddling work at all? Do you use a dummy? I know some people are anti dummy but that may help comfort them if theyre not necessarily hungry.

Cosleeping may be an option just read the safe sleep 7 before hand. Lay top less and they can latch on and off. It does get better

Reading those evidence based tips can help a lot

Also everything is a phase!

Im sorry, that is so challenging! Do you know how much you are producing? Eating every hour 2-4 hours is what the BF consultant told me. I was having a hard time producing and hated pumping to see how much I was producing... but was glad I did because my left side was barely producing any. So my baby wasn't getting a full enough belly to sleep longer.

I know it’s hard but it’s completely normal. She’s still so little! Be patient and give it time.

Honestly it sucks but it’s reality. We’ve done safe co sleeping with his bassinet next to my bed, it makes it much easier to nurse back to sleep without waking either of us up too much. Sleep training imo shouldn’t be done til after a year. I did sleep train my first at 8 months cause he would cry regardless with nursing or not, so we slept out in the living room and I went in every 15 minutes to assure him I was there. Looking back I really feel I was touched out from his crying, I feel much more sympathetic and not wanting to sleep train my second so soon, but just cause his temperament is different.

Good news is once your babe can hold her head up and swallow good, you can feed her purées and rice cereal! Doing it in the evening cause fill her tummy more so hopefully her first stretch of the night is decent.

Yes it is possible. I did it! My son slept 10 hrs through by 6 months and was exclusively breastfed. Myself and a lot of my friends had amazing experiences sleep training and breastfeeding. All the friends I have that trained later than 6 months had a much more difficult time. It took them a lot longer and sounded not very nice! Feel free to DM.

Not that I know of. My breastfed son woke through the night until we stopped at 3yo 😵‍💫 it’s just a thing with a lot of breastfed babies unfortunately
