We had a crib with my son and for the first 5 months he used it for naps because I felt pressured to put him down. And then it stopped working completely. My back was dying from failed transfers over and over and I was getting frustrated. We switched to the floor bed and it was magic. I could lie with him then roll away. This time we’re skipping the crib. When I shared about their room before it got quite the comments from people who didn’t read the caption. 🙃 No, she doesn’t sleep in here yet.

Sleep training doesn't necessarily mean cry-it-out. In fact, there are many no-cry methods out there. We know there's so much anxiety around your baby's sleep but as our BabyCenter Medical Advisory member @RestfulsleepMD explains, you have to do what is best for your baby and ✨ your ✨ mental health.
