PS. The success stories that do get occasionally posted here are upvoted into oblivion because it’s usually so damn bleak in this space. So that’s probably why they are the first returned results if you are searching for your specific use case. Because our members need the hope!

@lesnock Yes, from the viewpoint of someone who spends hours on this sub trying my best to help the literally hundreds of extremely desperate posts we get every day, I think perhaps you have exaggerated for your own narrative.

@lostconfused Oh yes, these people definitely exist! I just don’t see them writing a “preponderance of posts” on this sub. In fact, the opposite.

@freedomusa I agree with you there. But OP said posts, and I just don’t see them.

@tranthienvi47 Ask a question in the post! Today’s AMA is stickied to the top of the sub.

@mjfacio777 Going on now!

@chesed28 Is he falling asleep from wide awake, no pacifier, last feed ending 30 min prior, without you in the room? Zero assistance? Even if so, its clear he can not self-settle in the same room as you. He can tell youre there and it's confusing. You asked "how do I stop the night wakings" and...

@lesnock Where are these posts that you describe in the first paragraph? I just scrolled the last 50 posts and what I see is “in hell” “im dying” “hopeless” “I’m so lost”…. We get maybe 1 “This actually worked for us!” post every month or so, but I’m not seeing a huge amount of posts with an...

@worriedone Maybe ask in the SnooLife subreddit for better insight, as those people are still deep in it. At this point the Snoo seems like 800 lifetimes ago 😂

@worriedone We started in the Snoo the day he came home from the hospital, so I'm not sure how much I can advise on that scenario (there is a SnooLife subreddit however). I have read that it can take "older" babies a week to adjust. The only thing I can suggest is using a baby monitor to see...

@jamierite74 Slumberpod, room divider, hanging a sheet, etc could be an option if space is tight.

@worriedone The rules of this sub dont allow for promotion of sleep training for babies younger than 4 months, as generally the developmental skills for self-settling arent present yet. The most-oft recommended book here is Precious Little Sleep, which I believe has chapters around Fuss It Out...

@chesed28 Kindly, this is not your baby’s fault. He has not been given the opportunity to fall asleep independently if he’s in your room, you’re constantly intervening, and then you assist him to sleep. Move him to his own room. It is very difficult for “older” babies to self-settle in the...

@justin1234 An 11 hour night on top of 5(!) hours of naps is not realistic. You need more awake time.

@everest I feel like I have a similar debate frequently, as do (I would assume) other daycare parents. My 7.5 month old naps ~2 hours total at daycare (approx 915-945, 115-245), then takes a 10 min catnap in the car on the way home at 5. So should she go to bed early as hell (6-630pm) because...

@kingdomincreseguy If you have any other questions about what we did let me know!! You're doing a great job!!! Baby sleep is insane!!!

@kingdomincreseguy I remember this stage so so vividly (my son is 4 mos now). Our SITBACK was a little different because we have a SNOO, but the times you mention were identical. Fall asleep great at 7pm, dream feed 10pm, wake up at like 3 and would get SNOOthed back to sleep with the motion and...

@barney If my paid caregiver was disregarding my schedule and intentionally not helping me, they would not be my caregiver anymore. I’d rather have someone “I don’t know personally” take care of my baby if it means they are acting in the best interest of my family, as opposed to someone I’m...
