@cocoo_app: There's a study (Kahn 2020) where babies 9–18 months got either Ferber-style check-ins or a parent staying in the room. Both worked. What predicted how well it worked was the parent: how much crying they could sit through, and whether they heard the crying as "she's in danger." And a sleep clinic in France found 60% of families coming to them had already tried sleep training and quit. Most of us don't quit because it isn't working. We quit at one specific cry, usually night 2 or 3. Caving after a long cry is the worst outcome, because she learns that crying longer works. So pick by the moment that will break YOU: → Hearing her through a closed door is what panics you ("is she ok??") → chair. You're in the room, you can see she's fine. → Watching her reach for you and not picking her up is what breaks you → Ferber. You're out of sight, check-ins are 1 min. → Can't do either? Pick up / put down is slower but you get to hold her. Before night 1, write down: "when she does ___, I will ___." Tape it to the monitor. Tell me her age + which one breaks you. I'll tell you what I'd pick and DM you a free trial of Cocoo. Send this to whoever's doing night 1 with you. #ferbermethod #chairmethod #sleeptraining #babysleep #firsttimemom
