But first, here’s what I didn’t do: ❌ I never sleep trained her. It just didn’t feel right to me. ✔️ Instead, I rocked her, nursed her, sang to her, told her stories, and cuddled with her. ✔️ Every night, I didn’t just put her to bed—I stayed with her until she fell asleep. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW. And I still do.
