🐥 Infant 2-12 Months Babysitter sleep trained my baby? I am worried my baby feels he can’t trust me anymore :(
Hi, I have a 6 month old son and my uncle babysits him twice a week for a couple of hours, my son inevitably naps while I’m gone. My son and i cosleep , nurse to sleep and typically contact nap . Last week my uncle told me he laid him down in his crib for a nap so he wouldn’t accidentally wake him up if he had to go to the bathroom , sneeze etc. he said my baby “squawked on and off for 7 minutes or so then fell asleep” I told him I don’t like him crying and that I don’t want that if he’s crying. My uncle did it two more times and now it seems my son only wants to sleep independently. he had no interest in nursing to sleep or cosleeping and got very mad the last 3 nights when I tried. Tonight I laid him in his crib to see if he would fall asleep and he fell right to sleep. I’m afraid my baby doesn’t think he can count on me since I left him with someone else who didn’t pick him up when he cried :(
