Self soothing

Commenting to also find out!

We did around 5/6 months. Cant remember when specifically maybe a little later. It can be possible with out a pacifier. Maybe a little harder but who knows. We didn’t ferber method but a little more gently then the typical schedule. We didn’t let them cry or sit for longer than 5-10 min. I think Ferber goes to like 30. We didn’t do that. 10 was max if we were like on the toilet or something. But they got the hang of it after a few days you can message me if you’d like to hear more.

It is possible without a pacifier but self soothing cannot be done at that age yet

We are 14 months and still not able to fully self settle on every single occasion

My little one is 14 months and will self settle at night for the majority of the time. We found that he would wake up and cry for a few minutes and then go back to sleep. I really struggled to work out when I needed to go in so every time he woke up I would go for a wee and by the time id come back he was alseep again. Getting him to sleep we still have to cuddle him and tap his bum

15 months - we moved from rocking at about 8 months to patting in the cot and it helped the transition from there. Look at ‘habit stacking’ so you’re not going cold turkey on changing familiar habits x

I’m pretty sure I did around 7 months! I noticed she wanted to start self soothing because whenever I was rocking her for naps or bedtime she would fidget so much in my arms and get so cranky, it would also take so long! So one day I literally hugged her said goodnight and gave her a kiss and laid her down, she instantly turned over and whinged for about 5 minutes and was then asleep! The second time she protested abit longer but by day 3 she was doing naps and bedtime self soothing x

Mine never had a pacifier and started falling asleep by himself consistently around 5 months. It was hard work, but no cry it out! I put that on consistent routine (we always do the exact same steps for bedtime) and gradually doing less and less to help him fall asleep, start with nighttime first then naps. It’s easier as they have more sleep pressure. Took a couple of weeks and he kept waking overnight to nurse but now that he’s 11 months, I’ve completely night weaned and he’s now sleeping through finally! It does take some work, and confidence in the method you’re using so I would research appropriate schedules etc. Taking Cara babies was brilliant for us.
