Welcome! As MommyRN4 said, it's a long process at times. A 2 month old really can't self soothe yet. They are still pretty immature and need a lot of help to calm and soothe themselves. Usually infants can't really self soothe until at least 6 months. Until then, night time feedings, snuggles, and swaddling with pacifiers are all things that may help you soothe your baby. Hang in there! It'll get better before you know it.

It is a never-ending process....unfortunately. It takes months to get a baby to go back to sleep on their own at night and even then there are times when they regress. Just keep trying a little every night and hopefully as she matures she will learn how to get herself back to sleep. Welcome to Strong Moms!
