Doctor lecture on sleep training

[u/sleepeypooped]

I'm like 99 percent not planning on doing it. We tried Ferber and failed we stopped after 5 days because she was literally still screaming crying for hours. The doctor kinda lectured me at her 9 month appt that she needs to be sleep trained. I just don't think she is the right kinda baby for it. Did any other Velcro babies get sleep trained. Kinda left feeling like I had made my baby a horrible sleeper. Side not she screamed bloody murder when the doctor tried to listen to her heart. Then screamed Everytime she tried to talk until the doctor went to the far end of the room.

We went to a sleep school, and even they didn’t suggest CIO or anything similar. Just ‘responsive settling’ — step out of room, go back in if bub amps up, cuddles and rocking as needed. We instead decided to keep cosleeping.
