Urgent help! Ferber method?

[Dinoraw]

I've been doing it for 3 nights now. Tonight is beyond a joke. I'm 20mins in and watching her on a monitor during checks. She keeps collapsing and hitting her head in the crib. Any advice? I've ran in to grab her. She went with a thud each time and I've picked her up and comforted her. Surely there's a better way of sleep training in a 1 year old? This is breaking my heart I feel like I'm torturing her

Cuddle her to sleep?

Well pretty much any other sleep training method is better than the Ferber method. Please try something else, I would just stop it's bad for her and you too..also it clearly isn't working.

Good luck x

Don't do this. Cuddle or rock her to sleep, try gradual retreat, or co-sleep.

What you're doing feels wrong because it is wrong.

Why are you doing this?! She will sleep eventually. You don’t need to do this cruel sleep training.
Your baby will be older before you know it. Just cuddle her and reassure her.
If you’re desperate for sleep then look up the gradual retreat method. It takes a while but is much gentler.
Don’t leave your poor little girl hitting her head in the cot

I’d recommend gradual retreat.

I think Ferber is pretty much discredited these days.

If you want to sleep-train, there are gentler ways. Google is your friend

Stop what you’re doing, you’re clearly not cool comfortable with it. Have a look at more gentle methods. However, I’m a believer that they all sleep eventually and it doesn’t last forever

We've tried everything. We coslept for the first year of her life. We've not long had ds and they're disturbing one another so it was time she went in her own room. She can't settle herself and with two who were under one, it was hard. I do check every 5 mins and I pick her up and cuddle her and make sure she's okay. I stop the timer if she's too upset. I'm never far from her. Dp did use the fade method after ferber the other day and she went back to sleep. But every other way aside from those two we've tried throughout her life.

Even Ferber says this method is wrong.

It's just as hard on you as it is on her and when you're already looking after two little ones and sleep deprived, it's just a massive slog. Try gradual withdrawal.
