Hi! Would like to get some advice on using the controlled crying method for dd who is 4 and half months.
She has gotten to the stage where she will only sleep after feeding and as soon as she is put down wakes up which means back to feeding and repeat. I am now looking to get her to sleep without feeding but that seems an impossible task too. Last night she cried for an hour and I gave up and fed her. And she slept off within 5 minutes.
I just don’t feel I can continue with feed to sleep as she literally ends up hanging on me all day and I spend most of my day trying to get her to sleep as she wakes up as soon as she is put down. She also tends to feed/comfort for nothing less than an hour after which I hold her for another 20 mins before I can put her down.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!
