Hello,
Can a baby learn to sleep through the night and self settle without being put on any routine?
I have a 11w old baby and since 6w we've meddled in all sorts of schools of thought on sleep training / structured days & nights. As a result she tends to sleep 7/8-10/11 then 11/12-3 then 3-5.30/6. Which is fab I think. Meaning we get about 6h sleep. She is much much happier since we started structuring stuff and we never ever let her cry down. She does use a dummy which is good / bad for all the obvious reasons... Though the nights are good during the day we cannot fit any routine. We've tried everything but she is sleepy when she needs to be awake, hungry when she should be sleeping etc etc so we just freestyle it and do what feels right at the time.
I feel like I'm failing to get this right for her - failing at sticking to any daily routine :( And I'm worried it will mean we have a baby that does not learn to self settle or sleep through the night.
It doesn't help they we know a few of "oh my baby sleeps 9h a night straight and has done since 2w" Grrrrr
Are there any parents out there that followed no plan or routine and have babies that learnt to sleep through and self settle?? Give me hope please!
