How do you teach a child to self soothe..

[Secondtimearound]

Well it didn't take long for my own dd to get it , three days . She was nursed and held for naps ( in my defence she was never going into anyone's care but mine ) day one , she was 16 months old , she screamed for 3.5 hours and fell asleep standing up ! Ugh day 2 1.5 hrs and day 3 half an hour . I put on music but now would def use white noise .
The trick seems to be not going in at all , it defeats and prolongs in my opinion , I have used the same method with 2 dcks . I suggest as long as he's safe and moms on board just leave him to it ! Furthest room , white noise outside his room so he doesn't keep others awake .
It's so hard but he will learn in your care this is how's it's done , one of my moms never helped at all and her child only napped here never at home , at 14 months would just play until she fell asleep , young , loving momma . She just didn't have the skills and didn't want her to cry but here it was truly only a couple of days and it was over . She would wake up after 20 min and momma would get her up but not here ! 2 hrs is what she did here !!
Good luck ! You've entered the battle !!
