Transition to baby’s room - no sleep training

So my baby is almost 7 months old, sleeps in a bassinet next to my bed in our bedroom. When she was younger I used to be able to just put her in the bassinet in the dark room and go and she would play until falling asleep, but now I have to put her to sleep. She can fall asleep during nursing, a walk in the stroller, rocking in my arms, shushing, rocking the bassinet- she doesn’t give any trouble. But I know that i need to teach her/ let her learn how to put herself to sleep. The problem is- idk how and I really really don’t want to employ sleep training (in any of its forms and versions). I know how popular it is, all my friends and relatives did it so obviously I don’t say it from a judgemental place, I just can’t do it.. There must be at least one way that doesn’t include your baby crying and stressing… Have anyone tried something else that was successful?

I need to know this too. lol it's so hard, and I can not listen to my baby cry. It hurts my soul!

I’m not sure exactly what “sleep training” is? I’ve always rocked my girl while reading but I don’t lay her down sleeping. I lay her down sleepy. She’s always went to sleep on her own that way.🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not sure if that’s the advice you’re asking for because if she started crying I would immediately pick her up. I’m not letting her cry anything out. She’s a baby for goodness sake.

My baby is the opposite..when she was younger I had to rock her to sleep. Now I just lay her in her crib and she eventually goes to sleep.

We just put her to sleep then place her in her crib. If we don't, she will crawl around in her crib, then play with her hands/feet until she gets bored and start crying. Eventually, we will do the training methods, but my husband and I get very little sleep as is

We eat solids then play a little to get access energy out then bottle then I lay her down with pacifier and she soothes herself to sleep... if she starts fussing I go in and check on her.. occasionally she needs a diaper change, but if not I just give pacifier back and stroke her cheek, shush and say it's ok, and tell her to go back to sleep... if she's calm i leave her be

@Madison exactly! If I knew that earlier I’d probably do that (put her sleepy) Sleep training is basically all the methods that let the baby stress and soothe themselves and the parents gets even more stressed)

I usually let her whine for a second. My situation is a bit different. She loves bedtime and she’s a very easy baby. She self soothes but only because we’ve always done it that way. But if she cries i get her. I’m not letting her feel like I’m gone. She rarely ever cries for me when she’s in bed though, so if she does I immediately know something is wrong.
