[quote=Anonymous]Op one of the pps I see you aren’t feeling the risk of a doula due to the pandemic which I completely get (though I think you really have to weigh things here and you may have to take some risks if you’re really at your breaking point). I also see your husband is an MD. That is hard. The problem is that the reason people don’t recommend doing it with an 8 week old is they just don’t have the ability to self soothe on their own. They just don’t. So there isn’t much to train. And especially for naps (since he’s doing well at night) which are hard even at 5-6 months. If you have the money for a doula but don’t feel comfortable, what about hiring a sleep consultant virtually that can help you plan some gentle sleep training approaches and things to try. They might be able to identify some small things to change that could make a difference. My baby also loved the exercise ball/bouncing. But he would also sleep in the wrap on me if I was on a walk. Any chance that will work? So that you can switch up your day? That helped me. This is short lived and usually you just have to figure out a way to get through the next few weeks. [/quote]
