If you rocked or swayed your baby to sleep and never sleep trained to change that, when did they stop needing it less?
So we’ve been cosleeping since 5.5 months because she had an awful regression and it was the only way I’d ever get sleep.
She wakes 1-2 times, with the occasional unicorn night where she sleeps through. However, she needs rocking and swaying to fall asleep.
I figured I’d try to reduce movement a bit but the first night it took 50 mins to put her down, second night 1 hour 10, and third it was like 40 before I went back to swaying. I don’t want to sleep train because I cannot handle her crying and this rocking things helps her sleep fast, it’s just tiring.
Did anyone keep rocking and eventually they stopped wanting it or what happened?
ETA: sorry everyone, she’s 11.5 months. It’s been taking this long since I tried to reduce movement, and last night was a doozy because she’d only been up 2.5 hours before we tried putting her down. With a good wake window and rocking it takes around 10-25 mins.
