I sleep trained at like 4 months. Tried Ferber method, baby just got more upset, so I eventually resorted to CIO because I was losing my mind. Did this for naps and bedtime. Baby was able to fall asleep independently by the third night and onward with less than 5 minutes of crying; however, night wakings were normal and frequent for him until he was like 20 months. So in my case, sleep training was great for him to be able to fall asleep independently, but not *stay* asleep. I have tried CIO for night wakings in the past, but it just doesn't work for him, and he wakes up livid in the morning. Some babies just need extra love/cuddles, patience, and physical touch throughout the night, and that's not really trainable in my experience. I was not blessed with a great sleeper, so I've learned to lean into and remember that it will get better in time. He's 22 months now and sleeps through the night 50% of the time (wakes up once, rarely twice the rest of the time), so it's significantly better. A year ago, he was waking 2-3x a night.
He sleeps 12 hours at night and naps for 2 hours. I wish I would've been more patient and affectionate in the infancy days. I was really hopeful he'd sleep through the night by trying this or that, and it just wasn't in the cards for us
Pro
Ooo I tried that app. Didnt LOVE it. Instead, I emailed her for perspective and then canceled it lol. I tried it again when he had his first regression right before he turned 2 and it didn’t work.
I compare Taking Cara Babies and Baby Sleep Maven (on insta) schedules. I found a middle ground that worked for my son. That’s my holy grail.

I didn’t sleep train - I found it cruel (personally) to just ignore my baby screaming. I tried it for 2 days at a weak moment.
Instead, I studied up on age appropriate night and day sleep totals (there’s a range obviously), age appropriate nap times and lengths, etc. I maximized awake time with stimulation (black and white cards when newborn, tummy time, then graduate to the next level as they get older). I made clear daytime and nighttime awareness, I followed recommended sleep setups. I made limited sleep associations (for longterm sustainability). Etc etc
I did a dream feed at 11pm til 10 months old.
He’s 2 now and an amazing sleeper except when sick or transitioning out of nap amounts or lengths. He sleeps 7:30pm to 7am, not a peep. Reliable as f*ck. Thank god 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah a lot of experts call it western cruelty and are speaking up against sleep training, it impacts attachment as well
We did Ferber at 9 months. It took us about a week to get it right; he sleeps really well since then. I’d recommend looking into Ferber’s book or precious little sleep. They both have really good advice. Also recommend checking out r/sleeptrain on Reddit. There’s tons of really good advice there plus you can read through other people’s experiences!
I also did Ferber, at 8 months after I had a nervous breakdown from lack of sleep. Precious little sleep helped. I still co sleep if my baby wakes up between 4:00-5:30 because he has some medical issues that made sleep really bad for a long time. I chose CIO/ferber because he wanted to be asleep and he was miserable. He never cried longer than 20 minutes
No sleep training. Just followed baby’s cues. Had the privilege of a long parental leave and the ability to have help when both parents were tapped out. Did not grow up in the US and found that sleep training was not for us / went against our instincts to respond to our child. 2 years old. Heysleepybaby is a good IG account to follow.
I wanted to sleep train but before it was time I followed the newborn class of taking Cara babies and it turns out my baby didn't need the sleep training at 5mo
100% recommend
Depending on how old your baby is, I recommend the book Moms on Call. My son was sleeping through the night at 8 weeks old following this book. We never needed to “sleep train.”
we used the Taking Cara Babies infant course, and then when we were ready to move baby into his own room at around 8 or 9 months, we tried a method my pediatrician recommended. We put him down with his sound machine and doors closed, and then every 5 mins he was crying, my husband (NOT ME - I would have caved) went in to pick him up and hug him, and put him back down. Within 2 nights, he was fine. He is 2 years old now and sleeps through the night.
We did the Ferber method at 4 months and after 2 nights, he went from rocking endlessly to fall asleep and hourly wake ups to falling asleep independently and waking up 2 times a night for milk. He was happier too after getting more consistent sleep. He’s 3 now and still an amazing overnight sleeper. We never got great at naps but partially because he’s in daycare so it was hard to get consistency.
