Read this before you start
I wish someone would have told me this before I started.
I am a first time mom and have an extra clingy baby. He refuses bottles, insists to be breastfed. He needs to be held all the time, no matter when he is awake and napping. The slightest little sound would wake him up from his nap.
We were desperate so I read the whole book, jotted notes, and tried the Ferber method when he was 6 months.
It did NOT work.
I did exactly what the book tells. But he just cried through the whole training period (one week). He did not cry less with time.
Sleep training drained us all out. I would NEVER do this again.
Congratulations to the lucky ones. I am really happy for you.
But if you think you have a similar baby like ours, try google “high needs baby” before you start sleep training.
Sleep training probably don’t work for every baby.
