My boy is 4.5 months and I rock him to sleep for naps. But he's already over 9kg/20lbs!! 99th percentile in weight and length.
I don't expect him to self settle yet but I'd love to be able to cuddle him to sleep instead of standing up and rocking. I've recently resorted to the carrier/sling cos it's easier on my back but this is not a long lasting solution.
Also, he only catnaps atm so I have to resettle after 40 mins if he needs a longer nap, which I can do in the carrier but never works if I rock just in my arms.
I managed to rock sitting down for a week, but it stopped working :(
I know many mums have rocked - how did you stop? I don't mind a bit of crying but I'm not ready to sleep train yet. I like the idea of doing it gradually, like less rocking over time but don't know how...
Thanks!
