Good luck! How old is your LO?

For us, by night 3 there was a big improvement.

Good luck! We're considering starting soon so I'll be reading along

Good luck!!! I hope it goes smoothly.

I probably wouldn't feel comfortable skipping all MOTN feedings. I think it's normal for EBF babies to eat at least once in the MOTN up until 8/9 months. M usually eats once or twice over a 12-hour period and she legitimately seems hungry when she eats. But if he's eating like 5 or 6 times a night then I could see wanting to eliminate some of those feedings.

Good luck!

@Alivoo01: Don't hang your head in shame!! We have all been there. I was doing the same thing at 4 months till we let her CIO.

~~~~~~~~~ good vibes for you!

We sleep trained at 3 months and it really wasn't too bad. Even the very first night was better than I expected- he cried for about 25 minutes and then slept through the night! I hope it goes well for you too!!!

Good luck!!! I would definitely do a MOTN feeding at 4 months.

@Alivoo01: We just did sleep training last weekend and LO now cries less than a minute when we put her down - it is a miracle!!! Your LO will surprise you!!

@Alivoo01: Have you tried just cutting back on night feedings or using a different method to get him to go back to sleep in the MOTN? I totally understand doing whatever it takes; but I think it would be a really abrupt adjustment to go from several nursing to CIO with no feeding My LO nursed once or twice a night until he was 9 months and dropped it on his own after I decided I was going to cut back and not let him nurse as long. It was like he decided it wasn't worth the effort, so he just didn't wake up. You might try it or have your SO go in instead and save yourself some headaches!

@Alivoo01: yeah if we ever go back to nursing bc of a tooth cutting or something then I only let him nurse one side and then on one side for a few minutes the next day and then by the third night he just sleeps through. He definitely doesn't appreciate being cut off haha but it works a charm for us (we initially did no cry sleep solution at 5.5m)

@Alivoo01: I wanted to follow up and say that we haven been sleep training for about a week now and even with minor interruptions to schedule here and there bc of the holiday, LO has done really well. I was super worried in the beginning but the crying has lessened A LOT and LO is even putting himself back to sleep after waking early from naps...I hope things are going well with you and your LO and just wanted to encourage you. Everyone says sleep training and listening to your baby cry is so hard...and it is so true. But it really has made life so much better and less stressful after doing this for just one week. I hope things are going well with you!!
