[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you at home? She may be rocking to sleep so that he doesn’t cry and interrupt your work. Or she may think that if she lets the baby cry to sleep then she is somehow failing or doing poorly at her job.[/quote]

I am, and I do agree that to some extent she doesn't want us to hear him cry because she views it as a failure despite us telling her that it's ok and being there to check in if he really escalates. We had a lot of success when she initially followed the/a nap routine and put him down awake - he will whine and fuss for a few minutes before drifting to sleep. But the past week or so, something seems to be unraveling with her doing the routine which is leading to rocking, and now bedtime issues.

Could have ZERO to do with her and more to do with a regression, his schedule, teething, anything - as someone said, I know baby sleep isn't linear. Just wondering if anyone has an experience like this with a caregiver who rocked their baby to sleep but were still able to have successful sleep training in the long run when mom and dad were in charge nights & weekends. This is all so hard for me, and I question sleep training every time we have a tough bedtime.[/quote]

I agree, it’s hard to know if it’s sleep regression or routine. You mentioned there is a language barrier so maybe having a slower pace conversation with a lot of assurance that it’s OK for him to cry for sleep training. Good luck you sound kind and understanding. [/quote]
