[quote=Anonymous]I have a 4.5 month old baby and I’m desperate to figure sleep out before I go back to work at 6 months. He has never been a good sleeper. He has done a 5-7 hour stretch a handful of times, but he is still waking every 2-3 hours. Some times he wakes to eat ( though I don’t think he needs it) and other times he wakes up ( sometimes very 45 minutes) because he can’t self-soothe and needs to be rocked back to sleep. I have tried doing a routine and a gentle method to teach him to self-soothe, but nothing has worked. His naps are decent but it’s usually with me holding him. I haven’t slept more than 4 hours since he was born and I’m exhausted. The other night he woke up after we put him to bed and I let him cry while I was in the shower ( maybe 20 minutes) and he fell back asleep. The baby is pretty happy but has fussy days when he doesn’t sleep or nap well. My husband said we should sleep train, but I feel so guilty letting him cry. Is it selfish to sleep train or will it benefit the baby? [/quote]
