Sleep training? Recommendations

Sorry but this is just biologically normal.
Cosleeping will help you sleep more.

My pediatrician said to wait with sleep training until 4 months. She suggested if the weight is okay to slowly shift the calories into the day time to reduce tons of feeding at night. You might have also reached the 4 month sleep regression early. Ours started mid 3rd month as well.

18 weeks old is very very early to be considering any form of ‘sleep training’. trust me i completely understand the want to do it and the exhaustion, my daughter is 19 months and still never slept through, but it is biologically normal and important. as mentioned, cosleeping will allow for a better night sleep for you, just make sure that you research thoroughly and do it safely. just then be aware that getting out of the habit is very difficult for a lot of people! myself included as i currently sleep on a mattress in my daughters room so she’ll sleep in her cot🤦🏼‍♀️🤣. do what feels right for you, but at 18 weeks he isn’t aware enough to understand training as such and you may just make life harder for yourself pushing it so hard until he’s more ready. i’d start slowly introducing more time without feeds, if he wakes for a feed attempt to calm him without for a while first as he may settle down without. try to increase his feeds throughout the day too so he is less hungry xx
