Lol I don't know how he does it but if I scooch away, my two month old scooches towards me till I'm practically falling off the bed. 😂 He is the cutest little barnacle ever.

It took us a week of crying and sleepless nights for our then 14 months baby to get her to sleep in her crib from co-sleeping. In the first two days she would cry to literally every sound we make. We would go to her room and try to soothe her back to sleeping but then it would make things worse. She would scream at her top voice. It was scary tbh. On the third day we went cold(sorry for all positive reinforcement people 😞 )We decided this because we live in a foreign country so all she got is a working father and her mother. It was becoming difficult for both of us. Her mother was depressed and always tired. After a week she started to get used to it. In the first two months she would wake up twice at around 12am and 4am to breastfeed. Then we cut the 12am feed. One month later she started sleeping through the night. Fast forward 6 months later she is a sleeping champion from 9pm to 8am. And a nap of 2 to 3 hrs during the day. All I wanna say is it takes a lot of effort and persistence to get them to learn. We definitely felt guilty at some point but it had to be done. We failed many times but it was worth keeping trying. Now we would put her in the crib and she would play and speak her gibberish language to sleep. And sometimes she will wake up in the morning minding her own business waitng for us to take her.
Sleep training can be so difficult but in the long term can actually strengthen your bond with your LO as you are both getting the rest you need. Well done, sounds like you have done a great job. Clare, BSMS Support Team
I been trying but this is hard, she constantly cries like she is unable to soothe herself we have tried it all nothing works. I tried putting her in her crib again tonight she's been crying almost 15 minutes straight km talking to her through the monitor standing in the door, the tv is on her for her, the projector light soothing music, nothing helps
I love the idea of creating space little by little. My baby boy is 5 and half months and I've been so back forth about sleep training. But I can start by creating space between us, I feel a lot better about starting there.
This is definitely a great place to start! Always just do what you feel comfortable with. Our program also has very gentle sleep training methods so let us know if you have any questions! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
Hahaaa! I have been trying to "scoot" him away from me for awhile now and he hunts me down and finds me lol... 😄 I'm about to fall off my king size bed trying to run haha Anyway... wish me luck. 9 months old, breastfed, he has an older toddler sister, so I need more Zzzz's! Here we go🤞
You can do it! And if you need support and want step by step guides on how to do this our program can definitely help you. Clare, BSMS Support Team www.babysleepmadesimple.com/21-days-to-peace-quiet-program
Good advice! My 6 month old sleeps in our bed and it's becoming hard on my body holding the same position all night. I have the pack n play next to the bed and when she's asleep I put her in there. The first night she slept a few hours, the second night 1 hour, the 3rd night 5 minutes, the 4th night instantly awake yelling her head off. Now she's back in the bed. It's been hard, like steps back every night.

Will this help with a baby that’s been sleeping on stomach since birth? Every time she wakes up in bassinet I breastfeed her and put her back in bassinet.. my back and shoulders hurt.. she’s 7months and I’m tired lbvs.. she sleeps from 1-3hrs in bassinet
My issue is the transition to the crib she always wakes up no matter how gentle I am or how slow I go, the second I lean over to place her in the crib her eyes shoot open and her arm goes around my neck
@@Babysleepmadesimple she will be 1 on the 10th of July it's part of way we are trying to transition I caved and let her co sleep longer then I originally wanted to.

So basically your little one is telling you to stay Ann be next to him/her… why are you looking for answers from strangers ? Do they know your child? Dr. Gabor Maté talks a lot about parenting…he is incredible
Baby #4 is giving me a run for my money 😖 I'm having a lot of brain fog and with being older and more stressers these days, I'm getting to the end of the line. Thank you for your encouragements and tips. Currently she is 8months old and only naps in her swing (or someone holding her) and we cosleep at night. She nurses 3 times during the night also. Each child is unique and honestly I am doing everything I said I wouldn't do to get my baby to bed. The others were all sleeping in their own cribs by 7months maximum! I will try your tips and update my progress. Also going to check out your other videos too. Thank you
Hello! Thank you so much for your post. I am sure raising 4 little ones is super super hectic. Definitely check out our other videos. I know that sleep training my second daughter was a blessing for our entire family because she got the rest that she needed and so did I!

@@Babysleepmadesimple thank you for the support. Thank the Lord I have a large age gap between kids, 12, 8 & 4 years old. They all sleep well ans trained easily but she is tricky. Ever since she was a newborn she would have this sudden terror. I read up about night terrors and it doesn't seem to be the case however it has continued on consistantly :( I now sleep on the floor on a mattress next to her crib in her room. Have you delt with something like that, where the baby suddenly screams in terror?
This is what I thought! I'm ready to get my 1yr old into her 4 in 1 crib nexr to the bed. I love bed sharing, but she's not diving trying to run around on the bed. I thought waiting for her to fully sleep and putting her in it would be good. Thank youuuu for this content! I'm ok with sharing my bed when she's sick and stuff now, but I want her to be more comfortable and not wake up because I have to roll over or anything

I HAVE to try this method! I have 10 month old twin boys and they've just learned how to crawl. The little one crawled over after I fell asleep and he fell off of my bed! My bed is really tall so he fell pretty far. I was totally terrified and feel so guilty that I let it happen. 💔 It's so dangerous for them and it could've been much worse that the red spot on top of his sweet little head. 🥺 I feel like such a terrible Mom. 😭 I'm doing whatever it takes to get them in a crib and making sure they're completely safe from this point on. I should've known better. Mama, please take it from me, it's not worth it. Put those sweet babies in a crib where they'll be safe when you fall asleep.

I’m at my wits end with my 4th… he’s 15 months. I tried getting him to sleep in his own for a couple of weeks. I would sleep by his crib shushing even patting his back and he’d cry and cry and cry. We resorted to putting a mattress on the floor so we can sleep next to him but in his own space. We will slip away but it usually lasts for a couple hours tops. I’m at a loss…
Hi Lynette, Thanks so much for reaching out to us! It sounds like you are a very busy mom to 4! I understand how exhausting it can be when your youngest isn't sleeping well, and then the whole family has to try to function on little sleep the next day. The great news is that your LO is the perfect age to fall asleep independently. Teaching your son this skill and eliminating sleep associations (such as patting, shushing, rocking), will really help your son sleep through the night and get the sleep his body needs. Better sleep is just around the corner! We provide step by step guidance in our 21 Days to Peace and Quiet program. We have supported thousands of families and would love to help yours too!

Hi Alyssa, Great question! I would just have your LO's crib be directly next to the bed, so your LO can go in this sleep space, but still be next to your bed and you can slowly move the crib further and further to create more space. Best, Alyssa, BSMS Client Support Manager
Hello! We always recommend just training with nights first! Once your LO is sleeping well at night time, then you can go ahead and train for naps. It is super helpful to keep your LO rested during the day while you are night training. Our 21 Days program takes the guessing game out of what to do! We provide step by step guidance. Please reach out if you have any questions! www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant Best, Alyssa, BSMS Client Support Manager
I think, maybe this feed your baby (newborn) every 2-3 hours is wrong. I think best way would be, during the day feed your baby whenever they cry and don’t feed them during the night from very first days That way they sleep at night without wailing up, and then feed them all day long except night I think that’s how humans lived for millennium - because feeding the newborn few times at night to feed them is teaching them to wake up at night. I don’t think my family knew about 2-3 hours feeding rule for newborns and I and my siblings never had problems, and we practiced co sleeping (I don’t know what’s really better , maybe this new rule is better or maybe not idk)
Interesting approach! We're just following what the most reliable health organisations are recommending today which is every 2-3 hrs. Jilly has also worked as a neonatal nurse and has lots of experience in this area. Of course, every parent should consult their doctor for specific nutrition advice regarding their child. Thank you for sharing! Artemis, BSMS Support Team
Never wake up a sleeping baby!!!! The naby eventually by a months time will pick up their own routine and you can tweak it plus or minus. Too many useless rules to stress people out. Simply follow the sleep awake feed burp change play sleep routine.

I put a crib mattress on the floor next to my bed on the floor and the wall. Moved the bed to the floor for more safety. Then I can scoot away and she gets used to the mattress..but still haven’t gotten her in her crib!
Do you recommend still doing contact naps with the quick method? I don't want him to think I'm just casting him away lmao but I did start putting him in his crib all night two days ago (he is 21 weeks) and the first night he did decently well but last night was horrible. He will sleep in the crib but only for short bursts, I breastfeed so I can't tell if he really wants to eat or if he's just pretending he wants to so he can be in my arms. It's already emotionally hard on me because I enjoy bedsharing but the more he begins to move the less safe it will be for him and I am beginning to have body aches from sleeping in the cosleeping position.
Hi Tabitha, We recommend night training first. After your LO has been sleeping really well during the night for 2-3 weeks, then you can go ahead and train for naps! Best, Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
So, I currently nanny a six month old baby. She can’t crawl yet, but she rolls over and I think she can kind of scotch just a bit. I have tried putting her in the crib after she has fallen asleep in my arms, and, I have also tried putting her in the crib when she’s just falling asleep. I think I made some progress today. She managed to keep her eyes closed for a few seconds without crying versus on Friday when I tried to put her in the crib and she was crying nonstop. I will often times read to her when she is fussy while she’s in the crib to teach her that being in the crib is not a bad place. She often times gets more calm but she doesn’t fall asleep. Whenever me or the parents tried to put her in the crib she fights and fights and fights and cries. should I maybe just let her cry five or 10 minutes before I pick her up, and come and give her those reassurances, or, should I use the quick method? I watched your video, And, I am wondering if I should try the gradual approaches for the quick one. Thanks!
Hi Rachel, I would talk to the parents and see which method they are comfortable with :) This age can be tricky but is also a great age to learn to fall asleep independently for night and day sleep.

Hello! You can definitely work on drowsy, but awake! Babies are developmentally ready to learn how to fall asleep independently at 5 months old, but you can certainly work on drowsy at this age. Just don't stress if your LO struggles here and there and needs some extra support until he/she is older!
My baby is 8 months old and we can't do this..... she fights being in the crib and instantly rolls over. She also nurses on me like every hour for the past two months. I am exhausted and can't do this anymore. Everything we have tried has not worked.

My son is 9 months and formula fed. We have been co sleeping since day 1 & it has gotten to the point my husband and I agree we need to figure out how to get our son to sleep in his crib. His crib is in a separate room. My son just learned how to stand and likes to nose dive, the last few times we let him play in the crib, he’s hit his head every time. I need to find good crib bumpers. He only sleeps if he cuddles me(he sleeps on his side and holds either my ear or neck to sleep most nights, while being rocked to sleep). We lay down 9:30pm/10pm and wake up 6:30am. He used to sleep through the night but now he wakes up around 2-3am screaming bloody most nights or the better nights crawling around, giggling, watching tv and won’t go back to sleep. I try to get him to go back to sleep but most nights wants a second feeding. I don’t understand how I’m supposed to get my son to go to sleep with the quick method approach and what to do if he wakes up. Am I supposed to let him cry to sleep every night and leave him in there all night??? And he won’t sleep on his back, only his side….. when I’ve tried to put him down while sleeping, he always wakes up… please help….

Would you consider this the best route to try when baby is also exclusively breastfed (no bottles)? He'll be 1 in February (8 months now) and his dad and I are going to be going away for 4 days shortly after his birthday so I need to get him both weaned AND used to his bed. He already does well with a floor bed (because he falls asleep against me and then I move away) but it's hit or miss if I lay him in his pack n' play. Sometimes he wakes up, sometimes not, sometimes he sleeps for 2 hours, most times half hour... is there another video that might help me more? Or would this be the first thing I try??

My daughter (she is our first) is almost 7 months and is trained to sleep on her boppy in our bed. She falls asleep drinking her bottle then we lay her flat after about a half an hour after because she has reflux. We are trying to get her into the crib but we find her getting her legs and arms through the bars of her crib screaming shortly after moving her. I am wondering if we should move her once she is asleep rather than placing her in the crib awake. Is feeding to sleep a bad habit to have?
It can help her reflux AND her ability to sleep in the crib if you start teaching her to fall asleep without your help. You can go slowly and take several days or a few weeks to slowly wean her off feeding to sleep and get her used to falling asleep in the crib. You can feed her early in her bedtime routine then read books, sing songs etc so her milk has time to digest while she's upright. Getting legs and hands stuck in crib railings is normal but usually it's a short phase (less than 2 weeks. The more she gets comfortable moving around her crib and getting into different positions herself, the better she'll sleep in the crib. If you'd like more detailed guidance on weaning out of co-sleeping and getting your baby happily falling asleep on her own and sleeping all night in the crib, my sleep program for babies is the answer!

Mine is younger than 2 and will climb out his crib. He will wander around the room and will not sleep unless I sleep with him and will scream as he's scared if left alone.
Hello! I would try putting your LO in a sleep sack. Sleep sacks can help prevent your LO from climbing out. Also, make sure your LO's crib is on the lowest setting and that there aren't any pillows or blankets in there that your LO could be using to climb out. The great news is that your toddler is the perfect age to learn how to fall asleep independently and sleep peacefully all night long! I would definitely recommend checking out our Big Kid program. It is a gentle and comprehensive online course designed to help you teach your child independent sleep habits. The program includes a child personality assessment so you can discover how your kiddo’s unique personality affects their ability to sleep well and adapt to new routines. The truth is that having a toddler who sleeps great is a game changer for the entire family! Definitely click on the link below to learn all about our DIY package and Support package.

Hi! My son is 20 months old, I am still breastfeeding him to sleep. He wakes up through the night almost three times to breastfeed and I sleep with him on a bed, because he doesn’t let me leave the room after he wakes up. I know you recommend to let the kids sleep in a crib until 4 years old if it’s possible, so I was wondering if I should try to go back to the crib, since the bed it’s not working. He is been sleeping on the bed for nearly 4 months.
Hello Wendy! Given your LO's age, I would definitely transition to a crib. You should be able to get a good 1-2 years still in the crib! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team

My baby is 1 month old and I’ve been co-sleeping because I was in pain from my c-section and wouldn’t be able to get up fast enough at night to get him out of his bassinet he loves sleeping on my chest but I’ve barely gotten any sleep because I’m constantly waking up to make sure he is okay now that I am further in my recovery he refuses to sleep in his bassinet which I knew would probably happen so I started off with him just sleeping next to me instead of on top of me the problem is he hates sleeping on his back no matter what surface I place him on the second he’s on his back he is screaming so hard to the point where he is holding his breath and won’t stop until I pick him up I don’t know what to do because I know it isn’t safe to place him on his tummy in the bassinet any tips on how to get him to be comfortable on his back so he can sleep in his bassinet I’m desperate for a good sleep😭

My daughter is 16 months and she is crazy to breast. All day she ask breast and if say no she start to cry. I co sleep with her since day 1 and she wake up all night to feed if not give her breast she get mad and cry a lot and not go to sleep till I feed her. I am pregnant 16 weeks pregnant I am just tired waking up all night and sleep feeding her. It’s getting harder for me to sleep her independently. She never allow to sleep her crib she try to climb up and cry. She don’t even take bottle since day 1. I am so confused how and where to start to teach her to sleep independently and to cut her this habit of sleeping only when breast is there. Pls help 😢😢
Hello Samira, Thank you so much for reaching out to us! It can be SO exhausting when our LO's need our support to fall back asleep all night long. I am a mom of two and I can remember these sleepless nights, especially with nursing! Babies naturally have shorter sleep cycles and wake up often. It is normal and natural for us to help support them to fall back asleep when they are little. They need our help! The only challenge is that if your baby gets your support to fall asleep at bedtime (rocking, patting, feeding), then she needs that support to fall back asleep for every middle of the night waking. This leads to restless nights for both babies and parents! But don't worry! I have some AMAZING news! Your LO is the perfect age to learn how to fall asleep independently. This is truly the key to longer stretches of sleep every night. If your baby falls asleep on her own at bedtime, then she will self-soothe during the night without parental support! Yay for peaceful evenings for the entire family (get out the popcorn and turn on Netflix)! I promise that your baby CAN learn to sleep well! We have helped thousands of families achieve peaceful evenings and our team is here to help you too in our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet program.

My baby is 16months old extremely active walking since she was 10 months and in the bed with us.. I so badly want her to sleep in a cot in her own room but we will be moving house in a few weeks and she has got a new big cot/ toddler bed for the new house. Should I put her in her own room now or should I wait till we move and settle her in her forever room? Thanks
Our program can definitely help you do this. It has seven lessons and you can actually work on the beginning ones at ANY time. So you could start now so that you are ready for the cot when you reach the new house. I would recommend a cot rather than a toddler bed at this age. You can find out more info on the program here: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/21-days-to-peace-quiet-program Happy to answer any questions you have, Clare, BSMS Support Team
My boy will only sleep on me led in bed. How do I get him to fall asleep without lying in bed on me? We want to move him to his cot at 6 months but I'd have to lie down with him in my room then get up and walk across the hall to his room to put him to bed. He will 100% wake as he wakes every time I move. Hes currently 5 months. Formula fed sleeps a maximum of 2 hours a night 😭
Hi Dominique! Thanks for your question. I know it's so difficult when you are sleep deprived and just want your little one to sleep. We cover all of this in our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet course, and I think it would be an amazing option for you. Your little guy will learn to be a champion independent sleeper, and there are many methods to choose from. Here is the link: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant. Please let us know if you have any additional questions! Best, Ingrid BSMS Support Team
Congrats on your newest addition! Babies at this age are definitely nursing SO much. You can definitely let your LO fall asleep on the breast and then transfer to the crib for safe sleeping. When your LO is older, then you can teach your LO how to fall asleep independently. Enjoy those baby snuggles!
My baby is now refusing to sleep alone. We can get him asleep into his crib for the first few hours but will wake up and cannot re settle unless in my bed. Is 4 months to young to sleep train?
Hello! I would definitely work on resettling him in his crib since this is the safest sleeping space. It is okay to assist him with falling asleep at this age, but then place him on his back on a flat mattress in his crib. Once your LO is 5 months of age, then he will be ready to sleep train and learn how to fall asleep independently! Check out our 4 month old resources for more helpful tips!

It took us a week of crying and sleepless nights for our then 14 months baby to get her to sleep in her crib from co-sleeping. In the first two days she would cry to literally every sound we make. We would go to her room and try to soothe her back to sleeping but then it would make things worse. She would scream at her top voice. It was scary tbh. On the third day we went cold(sorry for all positive reinforcement people 😞 )We decided this because we live in a foreign country so all she got is a working father and her mother. It was becoming difficult for both of us. Her mother was depressed and always tired. After a week she started to get used to it. In the first two months she would wake up twice at around 12am and 4am to breastfeed. Then we cut the 12am feed. One month later she started sleeping through the night. Fast forward 6 months later she is a sleeping champion from 9pm to 8am. And a nap of 2 to 3 hrs during the day. All I wanna say is it takes a lot of effort and persistence to get them to learn. We definitely felt guilty at some point but it had to be done. We failed many times but it was worth keeping trying. Now we would put her in the crib and she would play and speak her gibberish language to sleep. And sometimes she will wake up in the morning minding her own business waitng for us to take her.
Sleep training can be so difficult but in the long term can actually strengthen your bond with your LO as you are both getting the rest you need.
Well done, sounds like you have done a great job.
Clare, BSMS Support Team
I been trying but this is hard, she constantly cries like she is unable to soothe herself we have tried it all nothing works. I tried putting her in her crib again tonight she's been crying almost 15 minutes straight km talking to her through the monitor standing in the door, the tv is on her for her, the projector light soothing music, nothing helps
I love the idea of creating space little by little. My baby boy is 5 and half months and I've been so back forth about sleep training. But I can start by creating space between us, I feel a lot better about starting there.
This is definitely a great place to start! Always just do what you feel comfortable with. Our program also has very gentle sleep training methods so let us know if you have any questions! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
Hahaaa! I have been trying to "scoot" him away from me for awhile now and he hunts me down and finds me lol... 😄 I'm about to fall off my king size bed trying to run haha
Anyway... wish me luck. 9 months old, breastfed, he has an older toddler sister, so I need more Zzzz's! Here we go🤞
You can do it!

Good advice! My 6 month old sleeps in our bed and it's becoming hard on my body holding the same position all night. I have the pack n play next to the bed and when she's asleep I put her in there. The first night she slept a few hours, the second night 1 hour, the 3rd night 5 minutes, the 4th night instantly awake yelling her head off. Now she's back in the bed. It's been hard, like steps back every night.

Will this help with a baby that’s been sleeping on stomach since birth? Every time she wakes up in bassinet I breastfeed her and put her back in bassinet.. my back and shoulders hurt.. she’s 7months and I’m tired lbvs.. she sleeps from 1-3hrs in bassinet
I'm going true the same and it's so hard
My issue is the transition to the crib she always wakes up no matter how gentle I am or how slow I go, the second I lean over to place her in the crib her eyes shoot open and her arm goes around my neck

Baby #4 is giving me a run for my money 😖 I'm having a lot of brain fog and with being older and more stressers these days, I'm getting to the end of the line. Thank you for your encouragements and tips. Currently she is 8months old and only naps in her swing (or someone holding her) and we cosleep at night. She nurses 3 times during the night also. Each child is unique and honestly I am doing everything I said I wouldn't do to get my baby to bed. The others were all sleeping in their own cribs by 7months maximum!

I HAVE to try this method!
I have 10 month old twin boys and they've just learned how to crawl. The little one crawled over after I fell asleep and he fell off of my bed! My bed is really tall so he fell pretty far. I was totally terrified and feel so guilty that I let it happen. 💔
It's so dangerous for them and it could've been much worse that the red spot on top of his sweet little head. 🥺
I feel like such a terrible Mom. 😭
I'm doing whatever it takes to get them in a crib and making sure they're completely safe from this point on. I should've known better. Mama, please take it from me, it's not worth it. Put those sweet babies in a crib where they'll be safe when you fall asleep.
You are definitely not a terrible mom! It is exhausting and you have twins!!

I’m at my wits end with my 4th… he’s 15 months. I tried getting him to sleep in his own for a couple of weeks. I would sleep by his crib shushing even patting his back and he’d cry and cry and cry. We resorted to putting a mattress on the floor so we can sleep next to him but in his own space. We will slip away but it usually lasts for a couple hours tops. I’m at a loss…
Hi Lynette,
Thanks so much for reaching out to us! It sounds like you are a very busy mom to 4! I understand how exhausting it can be when your youngest isn't sleeping well, and then the whole family has to try to function on little sleep the next day.
The great news is that your LO is the perfect age to fall asleep independently. Teaching your son this skill and eliminating sleep associations (such as patting, shushing, rocking), will really help your son sleep through the night and get the sleep his body needs. Better sleep is just around the corner!

Im wanting to try rhe gradual approach but theres no room to scoot in my bed with me, hubby, and little one. What would you recommend?
Hi Alyssa,
Great question! I would just have your LO's crib be directly next to the bed, so your LO can go in this sleep space, but still be next to your bed and you can slowly move the crib further and further to create more space.
Best,
Alyssa, BSMS Client Support Manager
Hey will you recommend starting with naps or night time ? Or both ?
Hello!
We always recommend just training with nights first! Once your LO is sleeping well at night time, then you can go ahead and train for naps. It is super helpful to keep your LO rested during the day while you are night training. Our 21 Days program takes the guessing game out of what to do! We provide step by step guidance. Please reach out if you have any questions!

I think, maybe this feed your baby (newborn) every 2-3 hours is wrong. I think best way would be, during the day feed your baby whenever they cry and don’t feed them during the night from very first days
That way they sleep at night without wailing up, and then feed them all day long except night
I think that’s how humans lived for millennium - because feeding the newborn few times at night to feed them is teaching them to wake up at night.
I don’t think my family knew about 2-3 hours feeding rule for newborns and I and my siblings never had problems, and we practiced co sleeping
(I don’t know what’s really better , maybe this new rule is better or maybe not idk)
Interesting approach!
We're just following what the most reliable health organisations are recommending today which is every 2-3 hrs. Jilly has also worked as a neonatal nurse and has lots of experience in this area. Of course, every parent should consult their doctor for specific nutrition advice regarding their child.
Thank you for sharing!

Never wake up a sleeping baby!!!! The naby eventually by a months time will pick up their own routine and you can tweak it plus or minus. Too many useless rules to stress people out. Simply follow the sleep awake feed burp change play sleep routine.

I put a crib mattress on the floor next to my bed on the floor and the wall. Moved the bed to the floor for more safety. Then I can scoot away and she gets used to the mattress..but still haven’t gotten her in her crib!
Sounds like a great first step though :)
Clare, BSMS Support Team
Do you recommend still doing contact naps with the quick method? I don't want him to think I'm just casting him away lmao but I did start putting him in his crib all night two days ago (he is 21 weeks) and the first night he did decently well but last night was horrible. He will sleep in the crib but only for short bursts, I breastfeed so I can't tell if he really wants to eat or if he's just pretending he wants to so he can be in my arms. It's already emotionally hard on me because I enjoy bedsharing but the more he begins to move the less safe it will be for him and I am beginning to have body aches from sleeping in the cosleeping position.
Hi Tabitha,
We recommend night training first. After your LO has been sleeping really well during the night for 2-3 weeks, then you can go ahead and train for naps!

Wow your eyes 🤩🤩
Thank you! :)
So, I currently nanny a six month old baby. She can’t crawl yet, but she rolls over and I think she can kind of scotch just a bit. I have tried putting her in the crib after she has fallen asleep in my arms, and, I have also tried putting her in the crib when she’s just falling asleep. I think I made some progress today. She managed to keep her eyes closed for a few seconds without crying versus on Friday when I tried to put her in the crib and she was crying nonstop. I will often times read to her when she is fussy while she’s in the crib to teach her that being in the crib is not a bad place. She often times gets more calm but she doesn’t fall asleep. Whenever me or the parents tried to put her in the crib she fights and fights and fights and cries. should I maybe just let her cry five or 10 minutes before I pick her up, and come and give her those reassurances, or, should I use the quick method? I watched your video, And, I am wondering if I should try the gradual approaches for the quick one. Thanks!
Hi Rachel,
I would talk to the parents and see which method they are comfortable with :)
This age can be tricky but is also a great age to learn to fall asleep independently for night and day sleep.

Can you sleep train a 3 month old by putting them down drowsy but awake?
Hello! You can definitely work on drowsy, but awake! Babies are developmentally ready to learn how to fall asleep independently at 5 months old, but you can certainly work on drowsy at this age. Just don't stress if your LO struggles here and there and needs some extra support until he/she is older!
My baby is 8 months old and we can't do this..... she fights being in the crib and instantly rolls over. She also nurses on me like every hour for the past two months. I am exhausted and can't do this anymore. Everything we have tried has not worked.
I am so sorry to hear this. Waking that often overnight is exhausting for everyone.
We can definitely help you in our program and would love to do so:

Had baby in her room in her crib and getting a few hours there. And then after trying to get her to nap alone and her not wanting to, game over. Now it’s co sleep or no one sleeps. So… good times.
So sorry to hear this, Derek.

My son is 9 months and formula fed. We have been co sleeping since day 1 & it has gotten to the point my husband and I agree we need to figure out how to get our son to sleep in his crib. His crib is in a separate room. My son just learned how to stand and likes to nose dive, the last few times we let him play in the crib, he’s hit his head every time. I need to find good crib bumpers. He only sleeps if he cuddles me(he sleeps on his side and holds either my ear or neck to sleep most nights, while being rocked to sleep). We lay down 9:30pm/10pm and wake up 6:30am. He used to sleep through the night but now he wakes up around 2-3am screaming bloody most nights or the better nights crawling around, giggling, watching tv and won’t go back to sleep. I try to get him to go back to sleep but most nights wants a second feeding. I don’t understand how I’m supposed to get my son to go to sleep with the quick method approach and what to do if he wakes up. Am I supposed to let him cry to sleep every night and leave him in there all night??? And he won’t sleep on his back, only his side….. when I’ve tried to put him down while sleeping, he always wakes up… please help….

Would you consider this the best route to try when baby is also exclusively breastfed (no bottles)? He'll be 1 in February (8 months now) and his dad and I are going to be going away for 4 days shortly after his birthday so I need to get him both weaned AND used to his bed. He already does well with a floor bed (because he falls asleep against me and then I move away) but it's hit or miss if I lay him in his pack n' play. Sometimes he wakes up, sometimes not, sometimes he sleeps for 2 hours, most times half hour... is there another video that might help me more? Or would this be the first thing I try??

My 1 year old baby daughter is refusing to sleep in her crib, only on her mom's shoulder, all night and whenever we try to put her in the crib it is nightmare, she starts screaming and crying full mode non stop!
The problem occured that she got used to sleep on her mom's shoulder it is because we have twins and my wife was so tired during the sleepless nights that she didn't have the force to go out of the bed to put her in the crib !
Please help !! We are desperate.
Any advice is highly welcomed.
Oh wow, twins as well, you are impressive!
This is SO tough but we can definitely help you in our program:

My daughter (she is our first) is almost 7 months and is trained to sleep on her boppy in our bed. She falls asleep drinking her bottle then we lay her flat after about a half an hour after because she has reflux. We are trying to get her into the crib but we find her getting her legs and arms through the bars of her crib screaming shortly after moving her. I am wondering if we should move her once she is asleep rather than placing her in the crib awake. Is feeding to sleep a bad habit to have?
It can help her reflux AND her ability to sleep in the crib if you start teaching her to fall asleep without your help. You can go slowly and take several days or a few weeks to slowly wean her off feeding to sleep and get her used to falling asleep in the crib.
You can feed her early in her bedtime routine then read books, sing songs etc so her milk has time to digest while she's upright.
Getting legs and hands stuck in crib railings is normal but usually it's a short phase (less than 2 weeks. The more she gets comfortable moving around her crib and getting into different positions herself, the better she'll sleep in the crib.
If you'd like more detailed guidance on weaning out of co-sleeping and getting your baby happily falling asleep on her own and sleeping all night in the crib, my sleep program for babies is the answer!
Here's all the info on it: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant
Plus you can add on personal support to get all your questions answered along the way and customized help.
I hope this helps. :)
My little one has a lot of environmental changes around her right now. My husband has just come back from working in another state for over 6 weeks, we just moved to a new home, and I’m going to be having our second baby in a few weeks. Will these factors make it harder for her to transition to sleeping alone?
As long as you take it slow and steady, I wouldn't worry about it. Just communicate and cuddle a lot during the day.
If your baby is between 5-24 months old, we can help you transition out of co-sleeping AND get your baby sleeping through the night in our program. Here is the link: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant
Hope to see you in the program!

You describe the gradual approach, but what comes next if my baby is only 3 months old? You say that ‘formal’ sleep training is only for babies 5 months and older. What about before that age and after we’ve done the gradual approach?

Mine is younger than 2 and will climb out his crib. He will wander around the room and will not sleep unless I sleep with him and will scream as he's scared if left alone.
Hello!
I would try putting your LO in a sleep sack. Sleep sacks can help prevent your LO from climbing out. Also, make sure your LO's crib is on the lowest setting and that there aren't any pillows or blankets in there that your LO could be using to climb out.
The great news is that your toddler is the perfect age to learn how to fall asleep independently and sleep peacefully all night long! I would definitely recommend checking out our Big Kid program. It is a gentle and comprehensive online course designed to help you teach your child independent sleep habits. The program includes a child personality assessment so you can discover how your kiddo’s unique personality affects their ability to sleep well and adapt to new routines. The truth is that having a toddler who sleeps great is a game changer for the entire family!

Hi! My son is 20 months old, I am still breastfeeding him to sleep. He wakes up through the night almost three times to breastfeed and I sleep with him on a bed, because he doesn’t let me leave the room after he wakes up. I know you recommend to let the kids sleep in a crib until 4 years old if it’s possible, so I was wondering if I should try to go back to the crib, since the bed it’s not working. He is been sleeping on the bed for nearly 4 months.
Hello Wendy! Given your LO's age, I would definitely transition to a crib. You should be able to get a good 1-2 years still in the crib! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
My baby wakes the night and is awake for at least 5 hours and she won’t sleep back easily and then that makes me super tired as I have to wake up for my girls to go to school at 7 30. Plus i breastfeed and she wants to wean quite a lot at night.
How old is your LO?

My baby falls asleep after her bedtime routine fine but she refuses to resettle herself without nursing which usually ends with her just in our bed because she wakes every hour or so any suggestions?
I would recommend you teach her how to settle without nursing and transition out of co-sleeping to establish safe and great sleep habits!

I don’t see nothing wrong with a baby waking up and wondering around for a while in a safe environment.
Of course if the room is totally toddler-proof this can be ok, but the safest place for your baby to sleep is always going to be their crib :)

My baby is 1 month old and I’ve been co-sleeping because I was in pain from my c-section and wouldn’t be able to get up fast enough at night to get him out of his bassinet he loves sleeping on my chest but I’ve barely gotten any sleep because I’m constantly waking up to make sure he is okay now that I am further in my recovery he refuses to sleep in his bassinet which I knew would probably happen so I started off with him just sleeping next to me instead of on top of me the problem is he hates sleeping on his back no matter what surface I place him on the second he’s on his back he is screaming so hard to the point where he is holding his breath and won’t stop until I pick him up I don’t know what to do because I know it isn’t safe to place him on his tummy in the bassinet any tips on how to get him to be comfortable on his back so he can sleep in his bassinet I’m desperate for a good sleep😭

My daughter is 16 months and she is crazy to breast. All day she ask breast and if say no she start to cry. I co sleep with her since day 1 and she wake up all night to feed if not give her breast she get mad and cry a lot and not go to sleep till I feed her. I am pregnant 16 weeks pregnant I am just tired waking up all night and sleep feeding her. It’s getting harder for me to sleep her independently. She never allow to sleep her crib she try to climb up and cry. She don’t even take bottle since day 1. I am so confused how and where to start to teach her to sleep independently and to cut her this habit of sleeping only when breast is there. Pls help 😢😢
Hello Samira,
Thank you so much for reaching out to us! It can be SO exhausting when our LO's need our support to fall back asleep all night long. I am a mom of two and I can remember these sleepless nights, especially with nursing!
Babies naturally have shorter sleep cycles and wake up often. It is normal and natural for us to help support them to fall back asleep when they are little. They need our help! The only challenge is that if your baby gets your support to fall asleep at bedtime (rocking, patting, feeding), then she needs that support to fall back asleep for every middle of the night waking. This leads to restless nights for both babies and parents!
But don't worry! I have some AMAZING news! Your LO is the perfect age to learn how to fall asleep independently. This is truly the key to longer stretches of sleep every night. If your baby falls asleep on her own at bedtime, then she will self-soothe during the night without parental support! Yay for peaceful evenings for the entire family (get out the popcorn and turn on Netflix)!
I promise that your baby CAN learn to sleep well! We have helped thousands of families achieve peaceful evenings and our team is here to help you too in our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet program.

My baby is 16months old extremely active walking since she was 10 months and in the bed with us.. I so badly want her to sleep in a cot in her own room but we will be moving house in a few weeks and she has got a new big cot/ toddler bed for the new house. Should I put her in her own room now or should I wait till we move and settle her in her forever room? Thanks
Our program can definitely help you do this.
It has seven lessons and you can actually work on the beginning ones at ANY time. So you could start now so that you are ready for the cot when you reach the new house.
I would recommend a cot rather than a toddler bed at this age.

My boy will only sleep on me led in bed. How do I get him to fall asleep without lying in bed on me? We want to move him to his cot at 6 months but I'd have to lie down with him in my room then get up and walk across the hall to his room to put him to bed. He will 100% wake as he wakes every time I move.
Hes currently 5 months. Formula fed sleeps a maximum of 2 hours a night 😭
Hi Dominique! Thanks for your question. I know it's so difficult when you are sleep deprived and just want your little one to sleep. We cover all of this in our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet course, and I think it would be an amazing option for you. Your little guy will learn to be a champion independent sleeper, and there are many methods to choose from. Here is the link: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant. Please let us know if you have any additional questions! Best, Ingrid BSMS Support Team
My two week old finds his way next to me to find my boob since week one he’s so strong and smart but I am tired of co sleeping
Congrats on your newest addition! Babies at this age are definitely nursing SO much. You can definitely let your LO fall asleep on the breast and then transfer to the crib for safe sleeping. When your LO is older, then you can teach your LO how to fall asleep independently. Enjoy those baby snuggles!
My baby is now refusing to sleep alone. We can get him asleep into his crib for the first few hours but will wake up and cannot re settle unless in my bed. Is 4 months to young to sleep train?
Hello! I would definitely work on resettling him in his crib since this is the safest sleeping space. It is okay to assist him with falling asleep at this age, but then place him on his back on a flat mattress in his crib. Once your LO is 5 months of age, then he will be ready to sleep train and learn how to fall asleep independently! Check out our 4 month old resources for more helpful tips!
