5 month old won’t/can’t sleep train?
Our 5 month old (adjusted, was born at 33 weeks) baby can’t seem to sleep via sleep training. Mostly been doing modified Ferber / taking Cara babies. We have also tried a bit more of an extinction method a bit and pick up put down.
Following all wake window for his age. We cosleep so maybe that jump is too much? And he also sleeps on his side with me (because of previous reflux issues). I tried just putting him in the bassinet first but was too hard with me right there but crib not working either. He had reflux but is medicated. Was a super colicky baby but outgrew that.
He’s crying 2+ hours each night for a week now. Is that normal? Has maybe fallen asleep one time for 5-10 min but now I’m wondering if he was just being still for a bit.
Rarely he’ll go quiet for a bit but can’t seem to get to actual sleep.
He naps via carrier during the day and he’s never been the type to ever fall asleep without help including the car seat (scream cries the whole time) and has never been able to transfer.
Edited to add: using a sleep sack because he’s close to rolling but not quite there. I think if he could roll to his stomach that would definitely help.
TIA
