Question about sleep and AP

tortuga47 · March 2013

I'm a lurker. I realized I do a lot of AP and need some advice. My LO is just over 4 months and I'm getting tremendous pressure from friends and family (including DH at times) to sleep train. I feel it's a little unnatural this young and am very against CIO. May I ask, for those of you who decided NOT to sleep train, when did you LO begin STTN and learning to self soothe on thier own? I realize every baby is different, but I'm interested to hear your stories. Selfishly, I think I want to hear my LO will learn when he is ready on his own with my support, not my "teaching" him when I'm ready... TIA

18 months... when I night weaned him. He'd still happily wake up and nurse a few times a night, but I was tired.

Most sleep training gurus will tell you to wait until closer to 6 months, even if that's the road you want to go. A 4 month old still

I think self-soothing is totally different than STTN. My son was self-soothing fairly early on, but didn't STTN until he was 14 months. And if it makes you feel better, my LO learned both to self soothe and sleep on his own when he was ready wit

My older son self weaned and started STTN when he was 2. He also moved into a toddler bed at this point ( we had been cosleeping). He now is a fantastic sleeper and he got there on his own time. We plan to do the same with our 8 mo.

I am very against CIO as well. And as one of the other PPs said, self-soothing is totally different than STTN. My DD who is turning 3 in June started sleeping through the night I think at 6 months (by this I mean 8 hours of sleep) but its all kind of a

My 16month old is not sleep trained. I tried to sleep train around 6 months but it was miserable for both. I still nurse to sleep too. She will fall asleep on her own when she is ready. Dont do something youre not comfortable with, youll know when the tim

I am by no means a pro at this or anything, I am a FTM and just shuffling my way through, but this is what we are doing!

We also decided early we wouldn't sleep train. DD also decided early she didn't want to co-sleep, so her room is set up so&n

I was against letting our baby CIO, however at 6 months she was still sleeping in a bassinet in our room and waking up every 2 hours. The only way I could get her to sleep was to nurse her. My husband and I decided it was time to transition her to h

I had my DS in a bassinet beside our bed at first, but within 4 weeks he was in our bed. He slept with us nightly until he was 18 months old. He was STTN by 10 weeks (well, last feeding was midnight, then he'd wake around 6am for the first mor
