Sleep train

20 weeks on the dot. Best thing we ever ever did. She’s now almost 3 and has been the best sleeper.
Modified Ferber method.
Veryyyy key to track sleep for 3-5 days before and work out their average 24hr sleep needs before you even think about sleep training.
For example at 5 months ours were 13hr 45 in a 24 hour period. We aimed for 3 naps - equalling 2hr 45, 11 overnight. And we kept her awake for as close to 3 hours before bedtime as possible . They need to be properly tired. We did a dream feed too til she was 6,5 months. x

We sleep trained our daughter when I think she had just turned 1. I’m not sure what the ‘method’ is called but we kept just laying her back down when she stood up and cried - but if she was happy (not crying) we just left her to try and self settle - just going in when she needed a bit of reassurance. Took 1 hour on the first night of lots of going in and laying her down but didn’t take too long until she got the hang of it!
she’s now almost 3 and does amazing at bedtime 😊
I personally don’t think there’s a right or wrong time, just as long as your mentally prepared for it to be difficult to start with and stick to (whichever method of choice) x

I’m currently sleep training my 11 month old using the Ferber method

I used support from just chill mama to help sleep train my LO. I started when she was 6 months old and has been sleeping 11-12 hours overnight, she wakes when teething or unwell. It was a very gentle approach and suited us really well, took around 3-5 days for my little girl to get into a routine x

Exactly 5 months (now 20 months), best decision ever. My son has been the best sleeper ever since. Sleeps 12 hours a night and takes 1 min to fall asleep for his nap.

Tried at 6 months with chair method. Was a disaster so gave up for a few weeks then did ferber with extended check ins at 7 months which worked really well for our LO
