Sleep training

That’s what babies are meant to do, ‘sleep training’ is controlled neglect 😣

Yea but I need her to start to sleep by herself (she’ll still be in our room), I don’t want to do cry out method, don’t have the heart for it

Thats all pretty normal for this age tbh that’s just what she needs at this moment in time and she will grow out of it by herself eventually. If you’re just worried about getting her sleep sorted for whoever will be minding her while you go back to work I wouldn’t worry about it they will find their own ways to get her to sleep or I’m sure they will hold her if it’s a family member

Thank you - appreciate the truth bombs, I feel seen and not crazy. 🥰
It’s just hard knowing I won’t be there to calm her and she doesn’t calm down with my husband either easily. I started wearing his clothes this week so it helps him calm her down.

For both of my children I did responsive settling technique. They do recommend to start it at 4 months old because that is when they are developmentally ready, but I started to introduce it gently with my daughter at 3 months old along with a bedtime routine. This had helped a lot and before she got sick she learnt how to self settle

Will look into it :)
