[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sleep trained at 4.5 months. It took 2 nights and then she slept for 8 hours. The worst  time was from
9-11pm so that’s why we did it. We would put to bed at 8 then she would wake up
An hour later and be a tired cranky mess for 2 hours. It was awful. So the first night we put to bed at 8 as usual but when she woke at 9 we let her cry, tried checks at 10 min intervals twice but it made her worse so we stopped going in. She cried for an hour. We felt like the worse parents. Not gonna lie, it was hard. But after an hour she dozed off and slept til 4. 2nd night she cried for 45 mins. 3rd night 5 mins. So on night 3 slept from 8pm-4am. We have a bottle at 4am and she went back to sleep until 7. At 5 months she dropped that 4am feed herself and went for 11 hours every night. It was life changing, we were better rested so better parents during the day. She was happier getting more sleep. [/quote]

Similar experience.  Mine would sleep for an hour, then wake up and be fussy for another 1-2 hours while being held/rocked/walked in circles until back to sleep.  Repeat all night.  I was going nuts from sleep deprivation.

Sleep trained at 4 months.  But I didn’t do intervals.  I didn’t go back in at all.  My soft rule was after midnight if they woke to eat I’d go in.  But it was eat then back to bed, no more walking around trying to soothe back to sleep.  Turns out after the first 2 nights, baby’s new routine was sleep at 7pm, would wake at 4am to nurse, then would wake for day around 6:30 am[/quote]
