sleep training

Hi all, My 9 month old isn't responding well to ferber. Night 5 and he is crying so hard he vomits and that's my limit before picking him up and snuggling to sleep. We have had vomiting issues with him in the past so can't go down that route (GP and health visitors advice). We have a solid...

Need help to break this bad habit. My little one will only sleep in my arms at night. I’ve tried time and time again to put him down in his cot but nothing works. What can I do ? Can I let him cry it out ?

Tonight is night 6 of ST. My baby turned 5 months last week. I’ve had good progress so far but still not where I thought I’d be at this point. We cut out paci, rocking, and magic Merlin all on night 1 and are doing Little Z sleep method (10 minute cry 1 minute check). She took to nap training...

I don’t want to do any type of sleep training that requires letting my baby cry, does this exist? My 6 month old wakes every two hours to feed. He nurses and goes right back to sleep. We tried starting purées at 4 months old in hopes that higher calorie intake during the day would help with him...

Our little guy is 9.5 mos, he sleeps pretty well honestly, we are very lucky about that. 2-3 naps a day 30-60 minutes each. Reliably goes to bed between 9 and 10 PM. He generally wakes in the morning around 6-7 AM, which is fine for us as this fits our schedule. He wakes up during the night...

I have been tracking my 3 month old’s (13 weeks) natural sleep patterns for two weeks. This is what his body more or less just wants to do: Basically 90/120/120/(?)(/?)(?) Let me explain. This first part of the day is legit like a clock. Every day is the same: Wake up 7:30, nap1 9-10:30, nap 2...

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...

TLDR: we’ve tried EVERYTHING and baby will not be sleep trained. WTF AM I DOING WRONG?! HELP! My baby is a week away from being 6 months old. This is my first and baby was born on their due date but was very small (5lb 13oz) and needed tube feeding in NICU her first night and we fed her donor...

Help! My LO is 9 weeks old and rolled in her swaddle this morning. I know I have to drop it cold turkey, but we don’t have any sleep sacks in her size- silly us thought she’d be in mediums before she would need it. We’ve got footed sleepers to make do until we can get something, but we need a...

How do I sleep train a baby who wakes up screaming for a bottle? Even a nappy change sets her off and she screams the place down. I don’t know how to just let her cry if she is seemingly starving. Please help an exhausted parent, I’m at my wits end :( EDIT: She is 5.5 months old, takes 4oz of...

We have officially encountered what I believe to be the 4 month sleep regression. LO (4 months old yesterday) has been sleeping in our room in the bassinet of the pack and play since birth. She is tall/long so we decided it was time to move from the bassinet to the crib of the pack and play...

Our little girl won't go to sleep without the pacifier. We just started S.I.T.B.A.C.K., and while learning to listen during the initial 5 minute pause was good to us (we've started to notice times when she can get back to sleep on her own), sometimes she launches straight into a full on wail...

My 6.5 month old still wakes 3-4 times to eat. Fussing escalates to screaming until he has a bottle in his mouth. On a good night, he wakes 3 times - bed at 7:30, wake at 10, 1, and 4, up for the day around 7. I read Precious little sleep and we stopped feeding him to sleep for both bed and...

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...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but, this is just an encouragement for people who are looking (like I was) for information on babies who had a later schedule. I remember being pregnant and searching the term "late bedtime" because I knew that I wanted to sleep in when baby...

So close to doing full extinction w my 6 month old. I don’t want to, but it’s been a month since doing Ferber and he’s still all over the place w night wakings. He eats 2x a night and cannot go longer than 2.5-3 hour stretches between feedings. The first stretch of sleep is often barely even 3...

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...

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...

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)...
