Help please! Gone backwards 6.5 month old
Hello Reddit community,
Please help us!
We sleep trained our baby just after 5 months full extinction and it worked really well- it probably took 10 days to get no crying at bedtime but wakes went from every 1-2 hours overnight to once or twice a night from night 1.
Last 4 nights baby has started crying again at bedtime 😭 first 2 nights he had been under the weather during the day and as he hadn't cried at bedtime in ages I felt it was likely he needed more support from me so for 2 nights after aprox 30 minutes I went in and settled him pretty much completely to sleep, yesterday however he has been great during the day and today but still lots of crying at bed time although still pretty good with overnight wakes
Wake windows 2.25 /2.5/2.5/3, middle nap was previously 1.5 hour but now all naps are 30-45 and unable to extend them. Tried extending first ww slightly but then by end of the day things are very tricky
Questions:
- please can I get advice on my schedule?
- other people that sleep train what do you do when baby is teething/ ill etc? And how soon do you go back to what they expected when sleep training
