Sleep training

What are your experiences with sleep training? My 5 month baby sleeps on the bed with me and my husband sleeps in another room. My baby recently wakes up every hour to latch (from 2-3hours before) and it’s really affecting me. I’m exhausted.

Hi! My baby is 5 months too! I usually keep to a routine at night so once it hits 10pm, I would take her to the room and put her in her bed and switch off the lights. I usually give her the pacifier (her pacifier is her cue to sleep) and remove it once she is deep asleep. now she wakes up at about 3am or so for a feed, on really good nights she can last till 5am.. often she will make noises in the middle of the night, if I just latched her like an hour ago, I would give her the pacifier and she would continue to sleep (I dont want her to latch for comfort) general rule of thumb for us is that we don't switch on the room lights at all so even when she opens her eyes, she knows it's still night time and will return to sleep!
