@Ciara bless it's hard work isn't it. I love his sleepy cuddles but he is already heavy for me dread to think what he will be like in a few more months. Xxx
Pick up put down mixed with modified Ferber is what worked for me, I started at 5 months and he now self soothes for naps and bedtime 90% of the time. There is the odd occasion I have to go in have a quick cuddle and put him down x
Look at safely cosleeping! Some babies just can’t sleep alone, I mean how many adults sleep alone? Everyone sleeps in bed with their partner as it’s instinct for keeping safe. I have to rock my boy (7months 11kg) to sleep every night but I use a ring sling to help support his weight. You don’t have to sleep train, you just have to keep treating them like what they are, a tiny baby 🩷 most children don’t learn to “self soothe” until they’re over 3. Establish a routine and baby will quickly know that it’s time to go to sleep as you do things. They’re only little for a short while and I know it seems so hard just now but you’ll barely remember it next year and wish for all those cuddles back!
No recommendations, just solidarity. Mine is over 1 and still has to be rocked to sleep for nap, bedtime and every wake up
