sleep training

    Is it A) Congestion B) Over/under tiredness C) Something else ?

    Hi all, looking for some opinions on my 5.5 month old’s sleep lately. Brief history, he was a pretty good sleeper at night until he hit the dreaded regression at 3.5 months. Naps have always been a work in progress. Since then we’ve been tweaking things and using gentle sleep training...

    6 week old won’t be fed/rocked to sleep and won’t contact nap

    I want to start out by saying I know I can’t sleep train my 6 week old. And I don’t want to. I know it’s biologically normal for babies this age to need to be held/fed to sleep. Except… it doesn’t work. I feed him till he’s asleep and stops sucking. Then I take him off and he’s wide awake...

    No S.I.T.B.A.C.K. after 5 months?

    I just read the TCB 3-4 month guide and the ABCs of Sleep. My babe just turned five months so I thought both might be helpful. BUT the SITBACK method is not included at all in the 5 month guide? So just completely disown that?

    CIO for 4 mo. Remind me what I’m doing wrong ?!

    Second time mom here. CIO worked when nothing else did with our first. I became the biggest believer in it! Shouted it from the rooftops. Almost had a t-shirt made that said, ask me about cry it out sleep training. It saved me and my husband and countless friends we recommended it to. From the...

    S.I.T.B.A.C.K without B?

    I just finished the TCB course for 4-12 weeks. Our son is 6 weeks old and is a good sleeper overall but does wake up every 2.5 - 3.5 hours to eat at night (I breastfeed and he gets a bottle of expressed milk for a dream feed). We want to start practicing sitback to see if we can lengthen the...

    8.5 mos & nursing 2-3x/night

    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...

    Feedback request for sleep training plan for 6 m/o!

    Hi all! Long time lurker first time poster here. I’ve read a ton in this sub and have read some of the heavy hitters (PLS, how babies sleep, cyclemam’s guide on here, etc etc etc). We have an almost 6 month old who has never been a great napper (fights them/very short) but used to do okay with...

    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...

    4 month regression? Almost 17 weeks and now refuses bassinet. Unsafe sleep situation last night.

    Hi guys! My guy is nearing 4 months and has started fighting all sleep including naps, only wants to sleep in my arms. He’s waking up on every transfer to his bassinet. Last night it took 2 hours to get him down and then he was up again 3 hours later, resettled him every hour after that. I fell...

    9 month old won’t sleep at daycare!

    Guys I’m lost - my 9 month old won’t sleep at daycare. They so naps from 12-2 and that’s the only nap he gets but he only does 30 minutes or so. Any tips recommended - daycare is going crazy and telling me he’s the only kid that doesn’t sleep and I’m wondering if they are going to kick us out...

    Which is more important: sufficient sleep pressure or getting ahead of overtiredness?

    I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I run into this problem so much, I figured I'd ask the above question. An example, my kid had a crazy day and ended up having a late 2nd nap today (4pm-4:30pm). He's 10months old and normally has a 4hr ww before bed, but he only napped 1.5 hours for the...

    PLS sleep group

    Has anyone participated in a Precious Little Sleep, baby sleep club? I think it is newer, but wondering if it’s worth it $350 for 4 weeks https://www.preciouslittlesleep.com/baby-sleep-club/?fbclid=IwAR1s0hqy8bZ4ZA1BcVlM5PzktI_xZ28tC6sCaD3z1TS-y2CA1mQzAEYru_Q

    Baby going to doctors tomorrow during nap time. What to do?

    Hi, first time mom and first time Reddit poster here so take it easy on me! Our LO generally sleeps well, 9mos and 4 days on 2 naps. Typical schedule is: W - 6am (some days as early as 5:30am but we don’t mind, he is sleep trained, and we just roll back his schedule by 15min) N - 9 -11am W -...

    Sleep training a 12 week old - success w/o CIO

    I’d love to hear success stories of improving independent sleep in younger babies (eg 3-4 mos) without using CIO. Context: FTM. EBF Baby has been 100% contact sleeping for naps and overnight. Between struggling with the swaddle, worries about reflux/choking in his sleep, early signs of rolling...

    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...

    How many naps does your 8-9 month old take?

    Baby will be 9 months next week. I’m tired and confused on dropping a third nap. My baby is too tired for only two naps but with three naps she is waking at 430am (bedtime 6:30-7).

    How are we doing? Great naps, poor night sleep

    We have 14 w/o b/g twins (12 weeks adjusted) who do great at nap time. They sleep in their cribs 4 times daily and nap from 30 min - 1 hour typically. Most naps are 45 min. They fall asleep quickly. Night time feels less successful. We’ve been waiting for a breakthrough but event seen it yet...

    So I’ve been trying to keep a set wake up time is 7-8 am too big of a range?

    I try to get her up at 7 and sometimes she wakes up on her own but sometimes she just wants to sleep more. She cries when I try to wake her up and goes back to sleep if I leave her alone. Today in particular I wanted her to be awake at 10 so I wanted her to wake at 7, nap at 9 but she didn’t...

    What do your babies wear to sleep

    What do your babies wear to sleep? My LO is 5 months and he’s been in sleep gowns since about 3.5 months when he started hating the swaddle. He likes to sleep with his arms up and now he’ll sleep on his back, side and tummy. What do you put your LO’s in to sleep? For reference, it’s about...
