Just let him sleep in your bedPeople don’t understand the psychology of babies, he is too young to manipulate, he is just a baby wanting the comfort of his mama. I have solid nights sleep because I have bedshared with my babies their whole lives. Now aged 3 my eldest is happy to sleep in her own room all night. Forcing babies to do things before they’re ready may work in the short term but in the long term all sorts of problems can arise. Just my (and science’s) opinion
What’s the issue? I didn’t jump onto your post with emojis, we are giving our experiences and opinions
Just to add- the type of controlled crying as described above has been proven to be psychologically damaging to babies. Yes they stop crying eventually- because they have learnt nobody comes. 8 months is so little
You’re an absolute delight aren’t youOh do fuck off.

And you are clearly still sucking on your mummies tit. Bore off.You’re an absolute delight aren’t youglad I’m not your children, touched a nerve haven’t I maybe you weren’t cuddled enough as a child. have a great day
Good one. Maybe if you were you would be less poisonous to strangers on the InternetThe lady is asking for help to get her baby to sleep independently and all you can do is start throwing back at her that she needs to keep letting him sleep in her bed or he’s going to be traumatised for life. How is that helping? Think before you post. She’s asking for help! There is a reason- obviously having the baby sleeping in her arms/in her bed is not working and she’s looking for an alternative. Give her a break. The baby is 8months old, not 8 weeks. The poor woman needs a break, not the co-sleeping police on her case.
This is help. Some parents just need to hear it’s ok to do something that most don’t consider the ‘norm’ and that in the end there is a good outcome. I am giving my opinion based on my experiences. Don’t know why this is causing you so much trauma. I’m a paediatric doctor so have studied child development and psychology and I’m the mum of three children. What I’m suggesting is what has saved the sanity of everyone in my family.

Turning off notifications for this post now. I was just trying to helpOh yes, of course you’re a doctor. Course you are.
This is good advice.He’s got used to sleeping in your arms or your bed, so you have to break the habit.
Don’t allow him to fall asleep prior to going in the cot.
Keep his room dark and quiet, use a soft night light to provide a slight glow. When he’s ready for bed, put him in the cot and walk out of the room. He will cry, but leave him for maybe 5 minutes. If he’s still crying go back in, don’t talk to him, just lay him down and go out of the room again.
It may take a lot of trips in and out before he settles but he will eventually realise that he’s not getting picked up to sleep in your arms or your bed!!
Once he’s going down to sleep like this you will probably find he stops waking as much during the night because he will have learnt to self settle
