Sleep training guilt

I don't sleep train or have a schedule for my baby. I let her do her own thing. She is on her own schedule.

I haven’t sleep trained but am considering it. He also used to sleep through the night but not anymore. Most nights he ends up in bed with us now because I just give up trying to keep him in the crib. You shouldn’t feel guilty for your decision. Do what works for you.

This is literally us! He’ll go down into his crib at bedtime but by early morning after a few wakings I’ll just bring him into the big bed cause I’m too tired to hold him plus nurse him back to sleep 😭 thank you for your reassurance 🫂

I sleep trained both my babies and I promise you, that’s a load of poopie. Please pardon my potty mouth. Babies wake up. Teething, growth spurts, developmental changes, something they ate. Like last night I was up till 1 am comforting my baby. Hell one night I feed the baby at 2am, put him down and then walked back to my bed to find my oldest in my spot. So guess who got to cosleep? This mom. Sleep training is nice on the nights it works. But for the first year, it feels like it doesn’t.
Do what works best for you and baby. And if you change your mind later, that’s your choice and your power as a mom.

My baby is jsut on my schedule pretty much I trained her around that so it’s easy for me. I stay up later I have insomnia so I put her to bed at 9:30 she’s asleep useslly after her bottle wakes up at 10am. Don’t let them nap too close to bedtime either it will mess both of yall up haha 😭 if ur baby isn’t going to bed at the time u want just keep inching it up or down little by little.

exactly my baby is trained been on a schedule since 3 months but there are those little hicks like teething or tummy aches or growing that can throw it off like
Tonighttt she couldn’t pooo so it kept her up longer than normal .😤😭

My baby is most definitely not sleep trained at least not on a strict schedule. I don't mind since I am a stay at home mom and student at the moment. He's ONLY 8mo. Don't be so hard on yourself my momma . Much love

My baby is on a schedule at daytime but he still wakes up every 2-3 hours at night.
He is 8 month old.

I have all tips and tricks except letting him cry.

What I concluded schedule is not for baby as they do their own thing but more for parents.
Some mom finds easy to be on schedule and some moms find it easy to do things on demand.

Don’t be guilty for not sleep training.
It shouldn’t be a thing. It’s not something that helps babies.

It shouldn’t be done unless as a last resort for parents sanity.


I would be distraught state if I am crying for 30 mins and my family member won’t come to me to ask what do I need especially when I am bed ridden and can’t help myself to do any work and don’t understand things.

I really don’t understand this concept.
If I cry even for 10 mins I get headaches.
How a baby would feel if they get headache on top of other problem for which they are trying to communicate .

Don’t feel guilty at all. Some mamas choose to have a schedule and some don’t, it’s all to the liking of each mom, my 10 month old twins have been on a schedule since being in the Nicu, but we have completely changed it slowly to fit for us but at the end of the day it’s all up to them. Some night we have babies sleeping all night some night I have on twin up until 4 am and can’t sleep and vise versa. It’s really all up to baby always.

I didn’t sleep train any of my kids. My son was close to sleeping through the night once he was about 8-9m with only 1 wake up during the night for a bottle back to sleep. I asked his pediatrician about it and she said offer him water and he’ll eventually stop waking up for that bottle because he ate enough during the day that he didn’t really need it. He hated the water in the middle of the night so after 2 nights of giving him the water instead of milk he stopped waking up in the middle of the night. My twins however, still wake up sometimes every other hour, sometimes they’ll go a good 4 hour stretch. But at one point one of my twins literally slept 8p-8/9a when they were only 4m old. She doesn’t do it anymore though. I feel like they wake to eat so much during the night though that I wouldn’t be comfortable trying to cut out those feedings right now. So idk I think it just depends on the baby honestly.
