[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 months and it was the best parenting decision we made.  Babies need good quality sleep to thrive.  It is cruel to let them be over tired all the time.  Took 3 nights.[/quote]

OP here. He was a happy baby when he was getting quality sleep 0-3 months and then it just got bad. He is always cranky and rarely happy now because he is so tired. Even when he was 0-1 and waking up every 2-3 hours to eat, he was still happy because he was getting sleep. He had such a mood change and was always happy when awake when he started sleeping 5 and then 8 hour stretches and getting good naps. Now he will cry or fuss almost all day. He will yawn and run his eyes but then he won’t sleep very long. He went from putting himself to sleep to needing to be rocked for 20-30 minutes to go to sleep.

We will do a gentle Ferber method with the 3, 5, 10 minute check-ins, etc. [/quote]

The same thing going on during the day is also going on at night, most likely teething. What's wrong with rocking a baby to sleep for 20-30 minutes? Jesus, that's too much comfort to give your own baby?[/quote]

Because it's not 20-30 minutes. I would have had NO PROBLEM rocking my baby for 20-30 minutes. But I did that, she woke up as soon as she hit the crib. Then she would wake up after 45 minutes, wash rinse repeat all night. Frankly you are a misogynist who expects women to sit and rock their babies all night long and never sleep. [/quote]

Huh? Are you the PP above, who said your baby "went from putting himself to sleep to needing to be rocked for 20-30 minutes to go to sleep"??? That's the post I was responding to, super genius. If that's you, then why are you rewriting yourself now? And if it's not you, what are you responding for?[/quote]

Because I had to SLEEP TRAIN. What would you have had me do if you were in my situation? [/quote]

Well I don't know what your situation is. Are you the poster I already quoted or not?[/quote]

You seem to be under the impression that people sleep train because they can't be bothered to rock their kid for 20-30 minutes to get them to sleep. This isn't why people sleep train. There was no amount of rocking or soothing that would have helped my first sleep. We tried everything. Do you think I enjoy hearing my child cry? I did it because she couldn't put herself back to sleep and was waking up every 45 minutes for months. I'm asking you, what would you have had me do? Sleep training worked and helped her sleep which is vital for brain development. You seem to have all the answers but people like you are so g-d convinced of your own moral superiority you can't even think straight. Believe me, the higher the horse the greater the fall. You don't understand other people's situations and should just zip it. [/quote]

You are incoherent. I was responding to the poster who said their baby "went from putting himself to sleep to needing to be rocked for 20-30 minutes to go to sleep". That's either you or it's not. Which is it -- was that you or wasn't it?[/quote]

NP more ad hominem attacks! Can't win on merit huh. [/quote]

I have no idea who that poster is -- you? -- or what their issue is, other than obvious guilt at having "sleep trained" their tiny baby. I was responding to a poster. I quoted the poster several times. If you can't follow the logic, then there's nothing else to be said.[/quote]
