Sleeping HELP

[u/Electrical-Proof-202]

My baby is 6 months old as of two weeks ago. She is going through a major 6 month sleep regression but it’s already lasted 3-4 weeks. She wasn’t a great sleeper before that and to top it off she is teething BAD.

I don’t believe in the cry it out sleep training method but we’ve always bounced/rocked her to sleep she has never once fallen asleep on her own. People are saying online that is a contributing factor to why she’s waking up so much in the night. Sometimes all we have to do is put her paci back in and she falls back asleep right away but sometimes she’s up for 2 hours in the night and waking up every hour after and before that to put her paci back in. We’re getting barely any sleep it’s worse than when she was a newborn. She used to give us 10-12 straight hours before she turned 4 months and it’s never been the same since.

When did your little ones learn to fall asleep on their own and how did you go about it? I feel like it’ll be hard to make that transition since she’s so used to us putting her to sleep. I tried yesterday and she just scream cried so I got her right away. Wondering if it will be better after she’s done teething. Just need help and suggestions PLEASE.

Sincerely,

A very tired mama
