    Chair Method/Sleep Lady Shuffle - Success for my God Awful Sleeper

    Just wanted to share our success with using the method from Kim West’s book Good Night Sleep Tight. A few weeks ago I was scouring this sub for any success stories I could find with more gentle/gradual sleep training methods after we bailed on Ferber after one night (or should I say 4 minutes)...

    Our baby is almost 7 months and I usually feed him down, was planning to sleep train at 4 months and life has gotten in the way. Anyway, the last couple nights we fed him until he was drowsy and laid him in bed between my husband and I and we both (were so tired it was easy) we pretended to...

    Baby stopped sleeping through the night after an attempt at dropping dream feed

    My 7 month old used to sleep 7 pm to 7 am with one dream feed at 9:30 pm. I tried dropping the dream feed and that night he woke up crying uncontrollably for about an hour. Finally gave him a small feed so he’d stop crying and go back to sleep. But now, even after reintroducing the dream feed...

    Starting to refuse 2nd nap on 2/3/4

    7 month old and sleep trained about 6 weeks ago. Shortly after sleep training he dropped from 3 naps to 2. The last several weeks, 2/3/4 (or often more like 2/3/3.5) was working well for us. He’d generally give 3 hours total nap time and 12-13 hours overnight. For the last 5 days or so he’s...

    Okay, folks. Here’s the deal. My son (Baby J) had 3 nights of sleep regression at 4 months & then slept through the night for 2 months straight. At 6 months, it just stopped all of a sudden. No noticeable changes in development, he had been in his own room for 3 weeks already, has never...

    7 month old can’t tolerate normal first WW but otherwise schedule okay? Should I just roll with it??

    Title says it all… My 7 month old is yawning before he’s been awake an hour and totally loses it by about an hour 40 mins. The rest of his schedule seems more normal and he sleeps well at night but it’s horrible to have him be so overtired in the am. Advice? Schedule: 1.75 MAX and...

    Are there any other babies who never had a set schedule?

    LO is now 11 months and we have never had a schedule. When she shows sleepy signs, we put her down for a nap. Most days now she naps twice, but sometimes naps 3 times (or even 4 the other day when she was really tired). I am a pretty structured person and before I had her thought we would HAVE...
