I've been reading different faqs and posts for a couple of hours. I'm not sure how I'm not remembering sleep training and why I'm not understanding the posts.
Dd is 11 weeks old. 9 weeks adjusted.
Although she is on EASY for eating and awake times, I've been rocking her to sleep for the most part.
She eats every 3 hours (even at night). She is awake about 1 hour 15 minutes. At the one hour mark, I do the wind down. Close curtains, turn on white noise, swaddle and hold her.
When dd is calm and breathing deeply, I lay her in her crib. I leave the room. Within a minute or two, She will either mantra cry or full out cry.
I'm confused about what I do next. When do I pat shush? I ignore mantra cries right?
I do pick her up when she is seriously crying and hold her until she calms down which is within five minutes because she is so tired from this. What do I do after she calms down again?
I'm sorry for asking this but I cannot figure out the steps. I can't figure out when to do the pat shush for an extra 10 minutes - when I first lay her down for nap or when I lay her down after she has woken up.
Thank you.
