    My 4 m/o was awake for over 5 hours at daycare

    What can we ask them to do? At home, she puts herself to sleep in the crib about 75% of the time. She will cry for a few minutes, but typically if she’s put in the crib awake, she’ll fall asleep eventually. They rock her to sleep then transfer her, and she wakes up during the transfer. Even...

    Possible for baby to sleep more than 2 hours while roomsharing & without CIO?

    My just-turned 5-month-old has been waking every 1-2 hours each night after his first wake-up. He used to go 3-4 hours between wakes but ideally he can learn to go even longer! These last two weeks have been brutal on me and my husband. I exclusively breastfeed. Schedule: 7 AM - Wake / nurse 9...

    I've read some information from various sources, but I'd like to get some ideas from you parents that have done any method of sleep training and found it to be successful. My LO is 5 1/2 months old and over the past month, his sleep has gone from brag-worthy (6-7 hour stretches over night...

    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)...

    Invented method: pretend you’re asleep, sleep training

    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...

    What do I dooooo

    So my 8 1/2 months baby girl is sleep trained (yay), but the last few nights have been weird. She wake up around 3:30/4 am and rolls to her belly then seems to get stuck that way? I tried to let her figure out but she seemed uncomfortable so I went in and rolled her back and left. She then...

    When people are talking about wake window times (i.e. 1.5/1.75/1.75/2) do they have set nap lengths as well?

    Hopefully this makes sense… When people are talking about wake window times (i.e. 1.5/1.75/1.75/2) does this mean that they have set nap lengths as well? Can they confidently say how long each nap will be? Asking as I see a lot of people talking about wake window lengths pretty confidentially...

    Hello everyone. I am still struggling over here with false starts every single night and have been since baby was 8 weeks old. She is 21 weeks old (5 months old next Tuesday). Last week she gave me four days in a row of not having a false start and I naively thought we had finally made it! But...

    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...

    Early morning wakes (6m) - what to do about nap schedule

    My 6 month old is independent for nights and naps but has recently started waking for the day at 0530. Bedtime is 7, DWT is 7. Until recently we would give him a small bottle (4oz, normal is 7) and he would go back to sleep until we all woke up at 7. Lately he’s been having the bottle but then...

    Question re: Taking Cara Babies- S.I.T. B.A.C.K. Method

    I have a 6.5 week old baby. I’ve been taking the TCB newborn sleep course. She mentions that the sit back method can help with extending the time that baby sleeps at night. But I can’t help but think that she is recommending stretching the time by trying the techniques, which inevitably will...

    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...
