Ferber Method

Sleep deprivation at that level is soo hard. We waited until a bit older but tried Ferber and ended up doing cry it out as my son seemed to get more stressed when I went back in. First night cried 45 min, second night 10 min, third night 2 min and slept through since if not ill. If you have a partner or friend to support it’s really helpful as so hard to leave them to cry! You got this! 💪

I did it too - for similar reasons. As above, the first night was 45 mins but it’s gotten better since. Don’t get me wrong, not every night is perfect. Sometimes it does take 10-20 mins. Last night it was exactly 2 mins. I don’t follow the times properly. We do 2,3,4,5,6 and 7, and then stay at 7. Only on the first night did we get to 7 though, we rarely get to 4 now. Most nights are pretty good where she’ll sleep 7-7 but there are nights that aren’t so good. Night before last she was awake 2330-0130 and this morning she woke at 550 😵‍💫 but that’s just normal baby stuff. I’d say 80% of the time she sleeps through. It’s well worth the perseverance
