Quick question: we're trying to get our daughter to sleep through without coming to our room 47 times a night. Some nights are better than others. It's exhausting. Are you guys doing any particular method? Ferber? Something else? How long did it take before you saw real improvement? ngl we're at our breaking point
Our pediatrician said as long as she's fed and the room is safe, letting her cry for 10-15 minutes won't hurt her. That actually helped us feel less guilty about the process.
Make sure your wife is on the same page about the approach you're taking. Any inconsistency and your daughter will exploit it immediately.
We had way better luck with the Ferber method than cold turkey. Just gradually increasing the time before you go back in.
Everyone's gonna tell you it gets better after a week. They're not lying, but that first week is gonna test your patience like nothing else.
The extinction method works but man, it's brutal those first few nights. Your daughter's gonna fight it hard.

47 times is... honestly not unusual for a 2yo. We went through the exact same thing. How long have you been at it so far?
