Hello,
my daughter is 4 months old. She's finally starting to sleep more at night, but there's an issue. She seems to have a very hard time falling asleep even when she's very tired. Sometimes she would start crying out of tiredness, she would doze but as soon as she closes her eyes, it's like she's resisting the sleep. Then she wakes up and cry again.
The only sure way to make her sleep is to give her some breast feed. Sometimes as soon as she sucks one single time she falls asleep. Then maybe she wakes up, another suck and sleep again.
Sometimes we manage to make her sleep by letting her cry, but it's more common at night when she's very tired and in general it's difficult.
What can we do to help her to learn self soothing?
