Where was this video when I needed it. Our life went off the rails right before 4 months and sleep has been a mess ever since! Now I have to deal with night weaning before sleep training.
Aww I'm sorry you didn't have this info sooner! Here's a tip if you don't want to night wean and then sleep train... You can do them both at the same time if you'd like!
That makes two of us... I am now 7 months and it's still going. Prior we had amazing full nights of sleep almost every day. Now its a nightmare, sometimes every hour walking up and breastfeeding for hours in the night and I am exhausted. 😭 I miss those first 4 months honestly.
@@MissLarensI ended up doing sleep training and night weaning at the same time around 9 months. Best decision of my life! She is now 18 months and has had a few rough nights here and there but most days she gets 10-11 hours of sleep.
I made the mistake of increasing night feeding the past 3 nights because she will just not soothe without eating. I pause before getting her from her crib, attempt to shh and pat, rock the crib, increase white noise, pick up and put down, after 1hr of crying I give in and feed. Any way we can go back down in the soothing ladder? Maybe feeding for less time during feeds that are not "her norm"?
Sometimes it can get better naturally- yes! But I also work with families all the time who kept waiting for it to get better and it never did until they got to the root issue (9 month olds, 3 year olds, 6 year olds, etc.) So if you don't mind playing the waiting game and you want to see what happens and if it gets better naturally, you absolutely can! I hope that helps!

My baby never had a regression
@@shweetblonde that's great you didn't experience any symptoms of it! 🩷
My question is, what happens if u don't do anything? Will it get better naturally?
