    Ferber w/ almost 5 mo (4mo adjusted) twins (b/g)

    Started sleep training for night time 8 days ago and it's been a little rough. Baby boy was going through sleep regression and was walking hourly crying inconsolably and we just couldn't do it anymore. Now he's been waking once for a feed around 2 am but sometimes will decide to cry for quite a...

    Time to Drop to One Nap?

    Hi there! Our LO is 14-months-old and has been sleep trained since he was 4-months-old, after we transitioned him from his Snoo. He did amazing. We did Ferber, and he cried a bit, but mostly whined and we had a pretty great sleeper after that, which is great, because he was not getting any...

    CIO night one

    Welp, here we are at night 1 of CIO. I was not expecting us to be here, but my husband accidentally(?) did two naps CIO today, and I figured instead of confusing him, which would be unfair to him, we might as well just roll with it. For his naps he cried for 25-30 min and then slept for an hour...

    4 months and 4 weeks. Sleep regression.

    Around March 6, baby girls sleep turned into a nightmare. Before she was down at 8:30 pm to 6/7 am with one or two feedings between. March 4th, we transitioned her out of the swaddle cold turkey because of rolling. All of her needs are met throughout the day and night. Now her naps are max of...

    Are there any other babies who never had a set schedule?

    LO is now 11 months and we have never had a schedule. When she shows sleepy signs, we put her down for a nap. Most days now she naps twice, but sometimes naps 3 times (or even 4 the other day when she was really tired). I am a pretty structured person and before I had her thought we would HAVE...

    I’m f$&%ed, this is f&@?ed

    My daughter is almost 3 and I’m still sleeping with her. We were in a 1 bedroom apartment for the first 2.5 years of her life, and we’ve recently moved into a 2 bedroom, but she refuses to sleep alone. I put her to bed and then come to me and my husbands room, but she’ll wake up and start...

    Q - 4 months regression & Timing of Sleep Training

    Hi all, I have a 13 weeks old girl and we are looking to start sleep training at the beginning of 17 weeks. However, i'm wondering if the 4 month regression would throw a wrench into this? Another question is the beginning of her bed time. We have been entering night sleep at 11:30 pm. Is...

    Sleep issues b/c of our small house

    I've recently switched my 8mo to a 2 nap schedule it's about 2.5/3/3.5. She goes down awake & independently for her 1st nap and always sleeps 1.5hrs. This nap is in her older sisters room where it's very dark & sound machine of course. There is always zero crying- she loves sleeping in there...

    S.O.S! Mayday! Overtired cycle disaster, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

    PLEASE help. 9.5 month old, never been a phenomenal sleeper, but we co-slept and contact napped so that made up the difference. Now that he's older/more mobile/hitting milestones like crawling/standing, we're needing to transition to the crib, which lives in our bedroom (no other options). We...

    Ugh what else can I do? 4 mo so sleep deprived. And f’in teething

    I really wanted to wait till 5 mo to sleep train. But seriously what the heck. We had a week awful stretch and I got very adamant about putting her down quite awake, and switched to 3 naps and longer wake windows. Things got ok with 2 feeds overnight. But then it went to shit again? Now she’s...

    I nanny for an 13 month old who sleeps from 6:45/7 to 5 am and is now starting to refuse his 2nd nap

    He was taking nap 1 around 8:45 am for 1-1.5 hours, then nap 2 around 2/2:30 pm for 1.5-2 hours. I’m not there for nap 1 but mom says she doesn’t think he’d make it to a later nap time. Her and the dad have tried earlier and later bed times in hopes of him sleeping past 5 am (sometimes a little...

    9 month sleep regression? Or just a cold?

    Our 9 month old started sleeping really well at night after a little crying she would take her self back to sleep and finally slept through a couple nights in a row but then we all got a cold. We are over our colds now but her sleep hasn’t recovered and I can’t tell if she’s over tired and...

    H e l p. My (almost) 14 month old does NOT sleep through the night. He goes to bed independently and will sleep from bedtime (7:00) until 12/1/2/3am (depending on the night). When he wakes, he SCREAMS. I’ve tried leaving him for 15 minutes - 1 hour and he just never calms down. I end up going...

    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...

    I’m exhausted and it’s my 6 month olds fault

    This is the 4th week of gentle Ferber method. My baby will put himself to sleep at nap time and at the start of night, which is great and I’m proud of him for. Yet He goes to sleep at 7pm and will wake up at 10pm, 1/2am, 3/4am, 5/6am every night and cannot put himself back to sleep, no matter...

    S.I.T.B.A.C.K at 4 months

    So our 4 month old is heavy into her 4 mo regression. We’re trying to use TCB SITBACK to help teach her to put herself back to sleep after a night waking before it’s time to feed. My question is around the S. According to TCB 3+4 months, we’re supposed to wait 5-8 minutes before intervening. By...

    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...
