    Day 3 of 2-1 nap (w/EMW)

    We started the 2-1 nap transition for our 13mo this weekend and are entering day 3 today. I know this transition is tough and we just need/want to power through but I’m hoping for a gut check on what we’re doing to best set him up for success. The days have worked out well - he’s taken a 5-10...

    Anyone forced to cut a nap (2 to 1) due to circumstances beyond control? How’d it go?

    My 12 month old is on two naps at 1.25 hours each (or slightly less) but due to circumstances beyond our control (daycare), she will more than likely be forced to go down to 1 nap at around 14 months. She went from 3 to 2 naps at 6.5 months so I actually think she might be able to tolerate only...

    We f***ed up. Ruined sleep trained baby

    We have a perfect on the clock sleep trained 2 yo. Last week we transitioned him to a floor mattress because he climbed out of the crib. Husband start cuddling with him on the mattress at bed time. Holding his hand until he sleeps (which is about 5-10mins). We thought it couldnt do much harm and...

    4:12 a.m

    Every, single day. My son pops up at 4:12 a.m. I'm going to lose my freaking mind from exhaustion (and so is he), so I'm here to beg for help with the last shred of my sanity barely intact. Here are the details: 22 months, has his teeth except his molars. Has been sleep trained since 12 months...

    Experiences w/ a fading method at 17mos? Formerly sleep trained w/ Ferber.

    So my LO (17mo) has been a pretty good sleeper overall. We sleep trained ~6 mo using Ferber, then he weaned himself off the overnight bottle ~8 mos- it worked like a charm and outside of the occasional illness or otherwise ‘off day,’ sleep has been great. Cue 5 weeks ago- he stopped wanting us...

    How do you darken the room without blackout blinds or on vacation?

    As my l.o. grows older (16 months now) it gets harder and harder to leave anywhere with her, especially during summer time. Where i live, 8 pm is still too much light outside for her to sleep without blackout curtains. At home that is not an issue, but what about when we visit family, or on...

    When should I just take the L?

    Naps for us have been absolutely horrible for the longest time. We’ve tried everything I can think of. Some days she goes down easy some days it’s a fight either day she’s still up after 20ish minutes. For the past almost month we’ve been doing crib hour. She still wakes up and screams and cries...

    Almost 1 y/o and hasn’t learned to self-soothe. Are we setting ourselves up for disaster?

    What's your 1 nap schedule?

    My baby (toddler? Lol 14mo) is on one nap and he is doing okay. I'm still playing with the wake windows to figure out what's best. I thought moving to one nap would mean bedtime would be earlier, as on two naps we were pushing 8:30-9pm some days due to nap fighting. Some days we do end up...

    Starting pre-K with a non napper

    Hi all, I’ve posted here about my 8 month old but now I need some advice on my almost 4 year old. She’ll be 4 in 2 weeks. She is going to start disability pre-K next week. She hasn’t napped for about a year but the pre-K class has nap time. I told the teacher that she doesn’t nap and the teacher...

    Re-training 2 y/o?

    We somewhat sleep trained my daughter around 9 months, the same time we weaned her from night feedings. She has always had a sleep crutch bottle before bed though and still does to this day, but for the most part once she was in her crib she would put herself to sleep. After we had her somewhat...

    Time to Drop to One Nap?

    Hi there! Our LO is 14-months-old and has been sleep trained since he was 4-months-old, after we transitioned him from his Snoo. He did amazing. We did Ferber, and he cried a bit, but mostly whined and we had a pretty great sleeper after that, which is great, because he was not getting any...

    I’m f$&%ed, this is f&@?ed

    My daughter is almost 3 and I’m still sleeping with her. We were in a 1 bedroom apartment for the first 2.5 years of her life, and we’ve recently moved into a 2 bedroom, but she refuses to sleep alone. I put her to bed and then come to me and my husbands room, but she’ll wake up and start...

    I nanny for an 13 month old who sleeps from 6:45/7 to 5 am and is now starting to refuse his 2nd nap

    He was taking nap 1 around 8:45 am for 1-1.5 hours, then nap 2 around 2/2:30 pm for 1.5-2 hours. I’m not there for nap 1 but mom says she doesn’t think he’d make it to a later nap time. Her and the dad have tried earlier and later bed times in hopes of him sleeping past 5 am (sometimes a little...

    Sleep trained 15 m/o doesn’t sleep at grandparents

    My baby used to sleep at his grandparents and visits them every weekend and sometimes during the week but he REFUSES to sleep there now! He has been sleep trained since 6 months. We have a cozy nursery set up for him similar to his own room but we have to rock him for hours to fall asleep. He...

    Sleep Training 14 mo

    H e l p. My (almost) 14 month old does NOT sleep through the night. He goes to bed independently and will sleep from bedtime (7:00) until 12/1/2/3am (depending on the night). When he wakes, he SCREAMS. I’ve tried leaving him for 15 minutes - 1 hour and he just never calms down. I end up going...

    Please help me. My 1 year olds sleep makes me want to literally d*e

    I always knew having a baby meant less sleep but I had no idea how difficult it would be. My child is newly 1 now and her sleep is worse now more than ever. I sleep trained her a few months ago but that didn’t help much. She will sleep on her own perfectly from 8pm till 11pm and then screams...
