[quote=Anonymous]My first needed to be held to sleep. Tried everything. Felt terrible for not having her sleep on her back in an empty crib. Worried about sids a lot at first. When she got a little bigger and could sleep in longer stretches at night I could put her down and that got better. I definitely thought I screwed her up but our second was by the book. Like put her down drowsy and off to sleep with minimal to no fuss right from the start. I really had no idea it could be so easy. The first never really outgrew needing to be held. When she got bigger it was laying down with her. Had to get rid of her crib for that. She still wants to go to sleep touching someone. Yes we tried sleep training more than once, but yes, at a certain point it becomes clear that the misery of it isn’t worth it and we made it work. I talked to a doc that specializes in kids sleep issues. The general idea is that if u can find something that works and is reasonably safe, don’t worry about it. [/quote]
