Cosleep/ Sleep training

I’m an ebf mom and cosleep with my baby, she’s almost 5 months, should i start sleep training? I refuse to do the cry it out method, are there any other ways to do this?

Look up hey sleepy baby in instagram I think she has some resources on transitioning from co sleeping to more independent sleep that maybe you would find helpful and I know she does not do cry it out

Shush pat and gradual withdrawal can be a good option! Also, easing her into sleeping in her own space by starting the night off in her own sleep space and then gradually increasing the amount of time she spends there each night may be a good one too. So stat there and then when she wakes you can attempt to put her back to sleep in her own space and then bring her to your bed. I’m a EBF, co sleeping mama who also refuses to do the CIO method!

I can second the above. We still co sleep about half the night but he starts out the night in his own bed and once we get through this sleep regression I’m gonna try taking him back into his room and shoot for longer stretches of independent sleep 💕

Totally up to you. I personally didn’t sleep train. We coslept until my baby started crawling, floor mattress at the foot of our bed until he was two, and he was in his own room/bed at two
