YT No Sleep Training Needed Why Connection Is Key to Baby Sleep

[@J.lily.a]

Love this video, as it adds an alternative view towards baby sleep. Question, I have done all these things ( responding, building connection, parenting with healthy attachment in mind, no sleep training, partial cosleep and EBF) however my little one is 14 months and still waking every 2-3 hours ( maybe 4max) he nurses then back to sleep, with the occasional difficulty getting to sleep. I’m wondering when does all this intentional hard work pay off?

Sounds like you have done a great job. If your 14 month old is still waking every 2-3 hrs it could be due to an underlying issue (like gas/digestion, low iron, nutrition imbalance, body tightness/tension, sensory processing differences, retained reflexes, etc) or because he has learned that he gets to nurse every time he wakes and he wants the comfort - nothing wrong with that but it sounds like it is no longer working for you so it is time to make some changes. There could also be other things you could do to optimize what you can change (ie wake up time, nap time, activities before sleep, sleep environment, etc). I help with all of this if you need more support! Or my Sleep Make-Over guide is also a great start ebooks.kailiets.com/sleep-makeover

It’s so great that you mentioned this. And i totally agree your opinion. I also thought about sleep training my baby, till I breastfed her every time whenever she needs in the night, she and I can sleep so easily, though it was a period that I had to wake up every 1.5 or 2 hours in the first few months. And the connection is definitely the key as you said.❤

Awe thanks so much for watching this video! I am so glad it resonated with you and that you got some validation that what you were doing to support your baby was exactly the right thing! Sounds like you were trusting your instincts and that is truly the best (and easiest) way to approach motherhood and how you care for your baby, yourself, and your family!
