Hello. Thank you for sharing your advises. I wanted to ask if you could also advise or help with some resources about how to gently stop nursing to sleep. My son is 22 months old falls asleep nursing since he was about 9 months. He also wakes up at night 3-4 times. We co-sleep and at night I also nurse him to sleep. Could you please share your experience regarding this or recommend a no-cry method to change this pattern? Thank you!

ooh girl, i'm a REALLY shitty sleeper, I guess that's where my son gets it ;__;
After trying every gentle method of sleep for over a year, we have sleep trained my son (several times) and are now going through it again at 21 mos. He sleeps through the night, but is having trouble falling asleep. He used to just lay down on his pillow with his stuffed animals and then I'd kiss him and leave the room and he would talk to his stuffies until he fell asleep but now he throws ALL of his stuff out and screams for half an hour or so. I just cant go back to having him sleep on me or any of that, but I don't know what to do other than letting him cry to sleep. Which sucks, because I know how stressed I have always felt about sleep as a child

So timely for me, Avital. Struggling with my almost 11 month old's sometimes within the hour wakings at night. I know I need to go to bed sooner, and I paid for it today as I parented from a very reactive place today – when dealing with my 3 year old. I saw your video and thought "exactly, I knew I just needed to work around him" but was resistant to, as I wanted more time to myself in the evening. But your message in this video will hopefully nudge me to embrace working around him, feel more rested and be better in my parenting, and focus on other opportunities (to have time to myself) rather than what I may be missing out on – time to myself wise. Thank you. Your message and voice really resonates with me. Loved the play schemas video as well; it really helped me to think differently about my child's play and I had a wonderful day with my 3 year old the day after I watched it. Thanks again, and look forward to more. Best, W.
