It is normal for babies to wake up frequently and need reassurance, milk and love. Sleep is not something that needs to be trained, it is something that your baby will do in longer stretches when they are ready in their own time. So many have to sadly try to alter their childrens needs. I think it is because parents have to go work so soon after their babies are born that they need more sleep than a biologically normal baby would allow them to get.

It was a method invented in the turn of the century late 1800early 1900 when they had really harsh ideas about parenting (that children should be seen but no heard, that you should not play or hug or kiss your children, and that a mothers love would spoil a child etc.) These are all quite harmful ideas and have long been debunked by scientific research, but sadly sleep training has persisted. It sounds like everything is going really well for you and you are parenting with love and care! You are lucky to have never hear of sleep training. Am I doing something wrong since I don’t plan on sleep training? It doesn’t bother me at all to wake up through the night to feed him because he always just falls right back asleep on his own.

I don’t plan to sleep train because I just don’t know enough about it but I also don’t know the pros and cons either. I just wanna hear other moms opinions and plans. But I always thought that babies would eventually just sleep through the night on their own so that’s why reading all these posts about sleep training threw me off. He eats plenty but still wakes up 2-3 times a night to eat which is expected because the formula just goes right through him. My baby is on Nutramigen and he’s had a hard time gaining weight we’ve been stuck at 13 lbs for weeks now but this is the only formula that works for his tummy. Any co sleeping moms sleep training or not sleep training? Why or why not? I never even heard of sleep training before. I quit my job to be a SAHM so we’re living paycheck to paycheck right now until my husband can get some side jobs going.

Absolutely no room at all for a pack and play or crib, nothing and I don’t want baby in his own room yet plus we can’t afford a good baby monitor right now, much less even a Christmas tree as this is our first year in our home as a married couple. We have a king size bed in our room and we only have room for the bed and our dresser. I’ve co slept with my baby since we came home from hospital.
