    Sleep begets sleep... or does it?

    Baby is currently 9 weeks old. He's never slept well since he was born (you may have seen my post on him fighting sleep here). We were always told that the better he naps during the day, the better his nighttime sleep would be, so we made sure to make him have his naps during the day, which...

    Please help me. My 1 year olds sleep makes me want to literally d*e

    I always knew having a baby meant less sleep but I had no idea how difficult it would be. My child is newly 1 now and her sleep is worse now more than ever. I sleep trained her a few months ago but that didn’t help much. She will sleep on her own perfectly from 8pm till 11pm and then screams...

    Don't be discouraged by all the rosy posts on this sub

    This sub includes a preponderance of posts that sound like this: My baby didn't sleep, I had no idea about sleep training, then I discovered it, implemented it, and on the third night they tucked themself in and slept twelve hours. Now I have my life back. If that's you, I'm happy. But I asked...

    My husband is ready to throw in the towel. Yet we’ve seen so much improvement! It’s a semi success?? Our 10 month old has gone from waking up 5-7 times nightly to about 0-2 wakeups depending on the night. It’s usually one! This is immensely better, there’s no doubt about it. We’ve (I’ve)...

    Short naps after 3 to 2 transition

    After a very unexpected successful and painless 3 to 2 nap transition and almost 2 weeks of the 2 nap schedule my LO has started to wake up after 40 mins into a nap. I rescue every nap now. He used to have 2 x 1.5 hr - 1.75 hr naps. I usually plan about 3-3h20m of nap time. I switched to 2 naps...
