[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never sleep trained my 11 year old…he coslept until he was 9/10, and has always struggled with sleep. He takes melatonin every night to sleep. I feel so bad he struggles so much.

I have a 3 month old daughter now who I have been lightly sleep training (just good sleep habits really), and she sleeps 11-12 hours a night with just 2 wakes to eat then goes right back to sleep in her crib. She also gets an appropriate amount of naps during the day (totaling 4-5 hours) and is such a happy baby.

My biggest regret was that I didn’t help my son learn good habits and it’s still impacting him :(. Trying to avoid the same with my daughter. [/quote]

OP here. I did all that when she was a newborn, and she slept 10.5 hours a night with only one wake up until one morning at 2.5 months she just decided she was never going to sleep independently again. Trust me, not all these things are parents’ fault or controllable.[/quote]

Another way to think of it is that she woke up at 2.5 months fully trained to need/expect bouncing/rocking. [/quote]

No you don’t get it: we weren’t doing those things before that. We started doing them when she suddenly started refusing to sleep.[/quote]
