I think what you think is best is what will work for you. We went through patches where LO would wake up and as soon as I picked her up she would start playing around and being goofy. Well it wasn't hard for me to put her in her crib and let her cry to sleep! Something as big as a move will most likely either way disrupt her sleep (as anyone elses!). I think you should do what you feel is best for baby AND for yourself. There's no right or wrong. Good luck and hopefully you can get some sleep!

She'll always need your boob to fall asleep and will be crawling into bed with you at 25. Obviously.

Nothing bad happens if you don't sleep train. Eventually they sleep. For M that meant 4 months, for L it took a long time. I think a lot of it has to do with personalities.

I never sleep trained. I missed him so much during the work week I was okay with getting little sleep and co-slept/nursed as needed. By a year old I could ask him if it was bedtime and he would tell me that he was ready for bed.
And he rarely wakes up during the night, sleeping form 8:30-9 until 7-7:30 pretty consistently.

I know that this doesn't work out this way for everyone though!

I'm no help here since I've been cobedding occasionally for the past two weeks (l is 18 wks/19 wks Monday.) I figure all of us getting sleep is safer than me nearly falling asleep while driving.

We never really sleep trained. We used some techniques to get him to try to go back to sleep on his own (ie, not responding right away). It wasn't until 7 months or so that he was really conssitent with STTN. There are distruptions when he is sick, but since 7 months we coudl more or less count on him to sleep through. Before that, it was hit or miss, but he did it more often than not aftter 5/6 months.

I didn't sleep train (yet) although there have been times where we let lo cry because nothing was working and she was obviously needing to sleep. So far we have just been riding out the rough periods and she's usually returned to normal. She's 8 months old.

I think you should only sleep train if her wake ups are detrimental to you/your lifestyle/her mood. It sounds like her wakeups are you negatively, so if that's the case then I would sleep train--just because other people can deal with multiple night wakings just fine doesn't mean that you need to martyr yourself and do the same. If you don't sleep train she will definitely sttn--at some point. The question is whether you are willing/able to wait to out. So basically, how desperate are you lol. We were pretty desperate when we finally sleep trained--I literally dreaded every night.

I also think that you could do it now and be fine. 7 wks in your cond is a long time, plenty of time to really get her in a good rhythm, which will then make it easier to pick back up when you move.

I would wait. We only sleep trained because DD was waking 3-4 x per night. At 1 yr, it was like magic and she just started sttn on her own.

i say do whatever you and dh feel the best about!!

for us, that was sleep training. thankfully he was already a good sleeper, and after we sleep trained at 3 months he's been super flexible with where he sleeps as well. he's done great on 3 different trips (sleeping in a new place for a few weeks/days at a time) and also sleeping at friends' homes when we go over for dinner at night. lo hasn't woken up even once in the night since he was 3 months old.... he's 12 months now. i don't know if it is just unique to our LO, but all to say it could possibly work out okay with sleep training plus moving twice! these little babies can be pretty resilient at times!

i really hope it works out for you guys!! moving is no joke! you guys are awesome
