[quote=Anonymous]Sleep training can mean a lot of different things, not just cry it out! When baby wakes up how quickly do you pick up? You might just try waiting for 5-10 minutes and seeing if they’ll fall back asleep. That’s a lot of wake ups at that age, and I’m guessing that you need more sleep. People who are anti-sleep training will say “you don’t need to sleep train if it’s working for you!” But it sounds like it isn’t working for you.

I really like the book Precious Little Sleep because she offers a lot of gentle solutions for sleep. There’s a very active Facebook group that is really helpful for tweaking daytime schedules too if you’re worried about too much/not enough daytime sleep.

You can also listen to the sleep series that the PedsDocTalk podcast did. She did one episode talking to about 5 different moms about their different “sleep training” methods, from full CIO to the more drawn out and parent involved.

I hope you’re getting some sleep during the day, and if you do decide to do some kind of sleep training I promise your kid will be fine. Good luck! [/quote]
