Did anyone who rocked their baby/co slept etc (didn’t sleep train) have a baby/child who ended up sleeping independently all night?

We managed to do ‘independent’ put downs at 10 months then he would fall asleep with us in the room / not needing to be held from 14 months - we did have to do one night of sleep training as he would wake up on the dot every 3 hours and cry but after that it’s been quite consistent (few developmental bumps but otherwise fine). If we’d had the time aka I wasn’t back at work I think we would’ve got there eventually independently x

My little boy is 14 months old. He lays on me until he’s asleep.. I used to rock him, now he just wants to be held 🥹then I transfer him but he sleeps all night! And has done for a while now x

We haven’t sleep trained but baby can fall asleep somewhat independently - we are in the room but falls asleep in cot without us. However, occasionally baby falls asleep feeding/being held. Both ways baby only wakes once, two times max.

I would question whether it is a scheduling problem rather than how they are falling asleep. How much sleep are you expecting (naps and night sleep) 🥰

Yep, my son is nearly 2 and often sleeps in his own room all night. Sometimes he wakes, and goes back to sleep if I just speak to him on the monitor. Sometimes he wants a cuddle about 4am so I bring him to bed with me for the last couple of hours.

I breastfed until 15 months. Co slept whenever he wanted it (he often did the first 3/4 hours in his cot then took him in with me).

It's normal for children to wake overnight until 3/4years, so I consider this a win!

Yes! Our boy slept exclusively on our chests both day and night sleep (refused to be put down, including co sleeping) until he was 8 months then he started accepting Co sleeping and at 10.5 months something just clicked and he finally started accepting transfers and sleeping for longer than 1.5 hour stretches. He’s 11.5 months now and does 7 hour stretches on his own in his floor bed in his own room. We are so pleased we trusted our gut and leaned into his needs. It feels like there’s no end in sight while you’re in it and it almost feels like it’s not sustainable any more until it’s not and something shifts, and when it does you’ll be so happy you responded to your instincts and your babies needs. They are on their own timelines and until they are developmentally ready we can only meet them where they are at an provide the comfort and sleep support they need. You’ve got this!!

Oh this makes me sooo happy to hear thank you all 🥹❤️

Yes mine needed a lot of support (particularly for daytime naps, she contacted napped exclusively for the first year, and never really napped in a cot). Fed to sleep for a long time then held to sleep. I now at just over 2.5 read her a story, say goodnight and shut the door and she sleeps through! If you told me that at 8 months I'd never have believed it. She did it all in her own eventually, no sleep training whatsoever.
Has it always been this way for you? 8 months is notoriously awful for sleep. It does get better. Also falling asleep with support does not automatically mean they won't sleep through.

We always rocked my almost 2 year old to sleep until she started randomly asking to go in her bed. Now we cuddle her to sleep instead. It can take a while for her to go to sleep but once she’s asleep she rarely wakes up. She’s generally slept through since about 9/10 months old without us doing anything different. She’s been in a toddler bed for the last 6 months and doesn’t even get out of bed if she wakes up before we go into her in the morning, she just sits quietly and waits for us.
