    8 week old went from sleeping 3-4 hour stretches to waking every 1-2 hours

    We have an 8 week old who we have fully transitioned into the crib about 2 weeks ago. She did well and was still sleeping 3-4 hour stretches. She then begin showing signs of wanting to roll so now we have been taking one arm out of the swaddle. Lots of changes but she still managed to at least...

    7.5 mo old used to be sleep trained and now isn’t

    We sleep trained our LO at 4 mo old. She was horrible prior to sleep training. Nanit camera said I interacted with her 23 times a night. Once we sleep trained she learned to sleep TTN after a couple weeks. For two months we were doing great. Fast forward to now at almost 8 months old, we haven’t...

    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...

    Little z guidance - daycare

    Hello, has anyone who has done this had issues with daycare? My 10 month old son goes to daycare and it has 2 adults for 13 kids so I don’t feel that they would be able to implement what the program would be asking for with that many kids. Anybody with guidance on this? Thank you all!

    I’m in tears…

    I wrote a post on here a couple weeks ago and got some helpful tips, so thank you! My husband and I came up with a plan for gentle sleep training that we think we can actually do. We've been doing it only for a few days and I feel better knowing we have a plan. What I don't feel better about is...

    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...

    Is my baby broken?

    She just doesn’t seem to sleep anymore. 11 months. Usually will do a 40-50 min nap in the morning (around 9-10am) and then 1.5hr in the afternoon around 2.30-3pm. Have been struggling with getting her down at night and having her waking at 6am. Wake windows are 3/3.5/4.5. No probs, figure...

    Sleep Training 1 month later (thank you r/sleeptrain!)

    Hi all, I just wanted to give an update to hopefully encourage anyone who is starting on their sleep training journey. Our baby was nursing every 45 mins all night and I had hit breaking point- as he is breastfed it was all on me. We started sleep training when our son was 4 months old, using...

    4 month regression, independent sleep & sleep training

    Hi all, My baby turned 4 months old yesterday, and it’s as if a switch flipped! She had been going to sleep fully independently (from being awake) for all naps & bedtime sleep, for the past month. I would put her in her crib (in her room), put her in her Merlin Suit, give her the paci, she’d...

    7 month old wakes at 3 or 4 am every night

    My LO has always been a fantastic sleeper. We have followed the Moms on Call schedule since he was 6 weeks and he has almost always slept through the night ever since until 5 months. 4-5 nights out of 7 a week he wakes up at 3 or 4 am for an hour. He doesn’t cry, but babbles loudly (thus me...

    Did/does anyone’s 6 month old do 3/3/4?

    Basically title.. Tried 2.5/3/3.5, 3/3/3, and 3/3/3.5 but the night wakes are still happening about 50% of the time with no pattern that I can tell :/ I’m trying hard not to fall into reverse cycling with feeds. Naps are good though ever since we dropped 2 nap schedule. Wake time 7:30am...

    Does sleep training equal inconsolable days?

    4mo sleep regression hit us HARD. I’m on night 3 of Taking Cara Babies for my 5month old. He’s actually doing really well on it. The first night he had 3 wakings, and last night he only woke up once at 4am! Tonight, I didn’t need to pop in at all for bedtime. Has anyone noticed the daytimes...

    Stuck with 3-4 naps cycling every few days

    We are stuck with 3-4 naps cycling every few days. She would have 3 naps for 2-3 days with bedtime inching earlier and earlier until it becomes too early, then we have to switch to 4 nap to reset the schedule (e.g. 5:15pm reset to 7:45pm). She just turned 6 months. Wake windows are usually 2...

    Holy False Starts

    We’re having a hard time and I just need to vent for a minute. We’re about 2 weeks in to cry it out and baby girl is doing GREAT for that first fall asleep—flips to her tummy, yowls for a minute or two, then passes out. But without fail, she wakes up after 30 minutes and screams like the world...
