- After having 6 babies 8 years, I have basically become a baby sleep expert, ha! Here are all my best tips and tricks for getting your baby to sleep through the night WITHOUT crying it out!
Try these simple tricks and your baby will be sleeping better in no time. Some of my favorite baby sleep items are linked below!
Note: I will say, I do believe in more aggressive sleep training methods if your baby or toddler needs the help, and Baby Wise (amzn.to/2GFWeIz) is the book I used to do more full-blown sleep training when nothing else works. So if you need help beyond this, check that out!

Yeah.... I do all these things.... baby is still up every 1 to 3 hours. Why? Because babies are programmed to wake up throughout the night. It's a protective reflex. The expectation that baby will sleep all night at a young age is unrealistic and unfair. So any parent wondering what they're "doing wrong" because baby isnt sleeping great? you're doing everything perfect, keep consistent and itll improve with time!
This! This is why Co sleeping is nice.
Both of mine were very well programmed with that reflex 😢 it was a miserable first year with both of them and I tried everything 😢
Yes!!!
exactly! the baby is guided by instinct. "I need to check if mummy is around because I'm small and vulnerable" I co-sleep with my third now and it works for us perfectly. No need to get up and she is calm and sleeps well next to me :)
All 4 of my babies have started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old. Some moms actually know what to do. And none of Jordan’s tips are right
I would just like to say that I followed all of these tips yesterday after watching this video and my 3 month old slept 6 hours in her bassinet. She has never done that before. Literally crying I’m so happy! Thank you!
Ahh that is the best feeling!
Did you nurse to sleep before that?

Hi Hailey, I need to follow this too.what do u think did it
It's also good to rememeber. You don't have to have a baby who sleeps through. Babies are only small so long. They have been tucked up warm and safe in you womb with your heart beat for 9 months it's ok to cuddle them to sleep or feed them to sleep if that's what you want to do. It took me 2 kids to realise that I was a lot less stressed and anxious when I wasnt obsessed over my kids sleep. I enjoyed the baby years much better with the younger 3.
They are all school age now and I am glad I have those sleepy baby cuddles to look back on.
Agree!
My son loved to be held to sleep. He slept so much better when he was rocked to sleep. To this day he falls asleep next to us and climbs into our bed nightly. He will grow out of it eventually, and then I will miss it. For now I'm going to enjoy making him feel safe and secure and protected.
Thank you for writing this!! My baby is currently sleeping on me. He'll sleep for a 2 hr nap like that but only 30 min on his own if I can get him down at all
Yas!!!
Well...I think lack of sleep is bad both for mother and baby. Read this if you want your baby to sleep longer and better tinyurl.com/bbSleepMiracle it helped us a lot.
This is great to give ideas but every family is different in how they do things. I nursed my babies to sleep and just dealt with it. My three sleep through the night and have since they were night weaned at a year. Do what works for you and your instincts/priorities. And to new Mom's, not all babies will sleep through the night, you are not failing if they are not. Good luck to all. To everything there is a season...
YES to routine!!! The moments we start reading books in the evening after bath before bed, everyone just start yawning right away!!!
So you give them a bath, then nurse, play a few minutes, and sleep? I'm trying to make sure I understand this is the order you follow. I've tried giving a bath in the evening but be seems to really wake up after that. I'm still working on getting a good night routine
Giada Pagnin right now with a 3 months old we do bath, then nurse to sleep. I hold her for a few extra minutes after she falls asleep against my chest a little up right so she can burp while sleeping. And then I put her in her crib. How old is your baby?
Sleep when baby sleeps, fold laundry when baby folds laundry!

Wash dishes when baby washes dishes.
Holly Long 😂
This reminds me of a meme I saw, “Sleep when baby sleeps... i dont know about you but sleeping while driving or pushing a stroller sounds pretty dangerous.”
I didn't do a dang thing the first week after my baby was born so I did sleep when he slept and it was AMAZING! 🎉🎉🎉 Of course it won't work if you and baby literally the only ones home. But I was very lucky that my hubby got paternity leave so he could bring me food or whatever I needed that first week 💜
What I've learned from my babies and those my friends is that some babies start sleeping through at 1 month old and some start sleeping through at 12 months and there isn't a ton you can do to force it, each baby is programmed differently. I had the latter type of baby and I tried it all, great routine. Meanwhile I knew people who didn't have to lift a finger, no routine whose baby slept well right from the start. So most likely, her 6 babies are just all genetically programmed to be good sleepers with good routines in place. Lucky you!!
this is very true and important for parents to know if they are doing good routines and it still isnt helping their sleep....that it may just not work
but a lot of what is said here could be all a parent needs to do to get a child to sleep better.
my child unfortunately woke every 30-45minutes. from 4 months old to 2years old. I had a great routine. she slept in her crib in my room and lpved her crib as most nicu babies do. she ate on a good 3 hour roitine to the minute because of her NICU stay and how they do it there
I didnt know this for almost 8 months but the rrason my child woke so 9ften no matter how much i did thats listed for good sleepers was because she had sleep apnea that was not caught. so sje wple when she had a especially pong apnea. waking eas her bodies way of gettig her to breath again. which often explained why she always woke screaming and upset. the level of crying that no parent can slowly walk yo the crib. its the extreme upset and barely cafchung their brrath cry and just breaks your heart to hear because its a scared cry.
despite several trips yo her doctor explaining this and what I do for routine it did not help them to consider apnea. which should have now that i know more ahout sleep apnea
the scary thing is that it is thlught by the experts that babies who die from true SIDS (nkt suffocAtion but truly just stop breathing) actually have undiagnlsed sleep apnea. specifivally centtal sleep apnea which is silent and hard to catch and so dangerous as the braim simply doesnt signal for that next breath. there is not gasping ot snoring like OSA.
that is what my daughter had. severe CSA. I was told had i noy had her cosleepimh with me that theres a good chAnce she would have been a statistic of SIDS. cosleepimh as in room sharimg and hee crib close to my bed (room was huge) she cpuld hear my breathing amd even ell me as all babies do and it jelped eegualte her breathing amd alsp helped keep her on a loght sleep like I dreaded and thought aas an issue. thankfully it did and it saved her life most likely
things less severe can do the same. reflux. allergies. pain in kids with low tone etc. lots of things. any neurological condition often can cause bad sleep in infants and kids. yet arent alwaus diagnosed until older (2-5yo) and often not obvuous until older even.
Thank you for sharing you observation. It’s like a stone off my shoulders.
The way you're sitting in the recliner with your baby is super empowering. You're carrying yourself like you're the queen of all the moms (which you are).
Omg I want that rocking chair now next time I have baby it looks so perfect
Thank you so much! I am close to tears! I am delivering my first babies.... twins in the middle of C19 and no one can come over to help. Love you. Seriously.
Hang in there, Mama! You've got this. Congrats on those sweet babies!
Good luck! Watch her new day in the life with newborn twins if you haven’t. Explains some of how she gets the twins on the same schedule.
so glad you and your are ok💖
I hope you and your babies are all well and happy
I did all of these things (expect my baby was exclusively breastfed and never once used a bottle) and the only thing that worked was time. I kept the same schedule and did the same routine every night and although their were countless sleep nights, he eventually began to sleep better around 7-8 months and then a straight 12 hours starting at 11 months. I believe it is important to follow the steps you mentioned but every baby is different and sometimes there is no “fix it” solution expect to wait it out. To all the momma’s who feel like they’ve tried it all and nothing will work - believe me, sometimes there isn’t anything you can do to make your baby sleep like an adult. They are babies. They will grow out of it, and one day you (and they) will sleep again!
Did your baby eventually take a bottle? My girl is 6 months and still refuses to take one 😩 she also still wants to nurse through the night, more for comfort than true hunger.
Allana Marie No! He never wanted it, but I didn’t mind at all. My baby nursed in the middle of the night until maybe 10-11 months, and at that point he started eating a lot more solids too. The fact that he didn’t take a bottle meant I didn’t have to wean him off a bottle and didn’t have to deal with cleaning them or buying formula, so that was nice.
Allana Marie I would try a silly cup at this age and see if she likes that :)
Yes, yes, yes! My EBF babies dont start sleeping well until 8 months or so, and thats ok! It gets better with time. I am just a zombie for awhile! 😄😄😄
@@allanamarie I second the use of a sippy cup ! Apparently EBF babies already know how to siphon (that's what they do to get the milk from the breast) so they quickly pick up how to use a straw (better to use a silicone one)
I should be sleeping while baby's sleeping instead of watching baby sleeping tips on RUclips at 6.07
🤣🤣🤣🤣 True...
Me too. Lol
😂😂😂
Sameee
Yea..... theres too much that needs to be done around the place for me to sleep lol
Followed every one of these tips 19 years ago with our youngest baby, and he was or best sleeper by far.
Probaly good to state that you formula feed. As breastfed babies feed more offen as it is digested faster 😊
Yes you need to feed on demand if you’re nursing
Exactly!
Exactly my baby nursed every 30 min to an hour sometimes!
Formula was the BEST invented thing and bottle thank u scientists 😘
My baby was breastfed and I still fed him every 3-4 hours. Occasionally he'd want more in-between feedings and I'd feed him but for the most part every 3-4 hours was plenty for him. 💜 Each baby and momma is different.
As a postpartum doula, I think these are great tips! The only thing that concerns me is being strict about feeding every 3 hours while establishing milk supply. It is very normal for babies to cluster feed at times. At the same time, I agree it's important to try to get full feeds in instead of grazing all day long, so learn your baby's cues so you can tell if they're actually hungry or not. And sometimes, babies just want to nurse for comfort and that's ok too.
As a mother of 4 (soon to be 5), including one set of twins, this is just not my parenting style. I exclusively breastfeed, nurse to sleep during the day and night, and bedshare until baby(ies) is about 6 months old. At that point, we start with naps in the crib and work up to full nights in the crib. My oldest STTN at 11.5 months, my twins about 9 months, my youngest about 7 or 8 months. We have not really had any trouble or felt overly sleep deprived doing things this way. Our babies all figured out pretty quickly that night time is for sleeping and day time is for being awake. I would always change diapers right before nursing, instead of in the middle of the feed, during the night. If I could tell they didn't eat enough, I would try to wake them up with a cold wipe, undressing, etc. We would always keep the lights off during night feeds as well. And I never really swaddled, as it didn't seem to help with my own kids. It is definitely worth a try though and I have done it with all of my doula babies! My own babies must be weird. 😆
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Every baby and family is unique. Like I said, these are great tips! But if you try them and your baby still isn't a good sleeper, it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. And on the flip side, this isn't the *only* way to get your baby to sleep well.
Thanks for the video, Jordan!
Thank you! You are exactly right, all babies are different. And like I mentioned at the end of the video, always talk to your doctor before trying any new tips that you are unsure of.
I would love a video on how you’ve been able to have all your little ones so close together! What’s your secret to recovering quickly and getting you nutrients back up to where they need to be?
This 👆
Holding a bottle and feeding a four-month-old as I watch this! I’m not a mom, but I am a nanny and your videos are awesome
Love, love this!! I’m 25 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my fourth and all these tips are amazing. So trying them when he’s born maybe I’ll sleep more with this one lol🤞🏽
Nikki C congrats!! We are expecting our fourth in a few weeks (but hopefully like TOMORROW because I’m sick of being pregnant 😂🤣) do you know what you’re having?
The tips about the horizontal baby hold is GOLDEN. This has worked so well.
Oh my gosh! These tips are exactly what I learned when fostering infants for a few years. And the eat, play, sleep is the difference between a happy baby and a cranky baby. Love your advise. Way to go momma.
I feel like this advice is for bottle fed babies though. So awesome that you fostered babies.
I disagree. I breastfed my bio son in 2003. My son was not sleeping well. My friend gave me a book teaching the eat, play, sleep method when my son was 2 months old. It changed my baby. He became a more happy, contented, smiley baby afterward. I used it with all my foster infants but added swaddling with the foster babies which I wish I had tried with my bio son.
@@quicksilvertears921 we all do it differently. But as long as it works and everyone is happy, it's a success. I have breastfed all my kiddos to sleep (8) never had a problem. Babies are usually so darn tired that you have to wake them up for milk in the early days. I think the challenge is active 2-3 year olds who don't want to sleep because there are so many things they want to do. They can be a little sneaky too, lol. How about the fact that all 8 of my kids, including the baby, talks in their sleep just like their dad. I officially live in a loud house.
i’m a new dad I was looking on RUclips to figure out how to put my baby to sleep Because he wakes up every hour and only eats half the bottle. I’m going to try your tips starting today thank you
Did these tips work?
Oh my 😄 Both of my babies nurse/nursed every hour😄 But they are super good sleepers 🙏🏼
That is so smart I never thought of that I would just usually feed them and let them fall asleep. I will have to try these tips with the 11 month baby girl I get to foster care for on starting Sunday.
Thank you for being a foster mom!
*This is the exact routine I followed with my son. I found it in a book somewhere lol. After my son got over his colic (actually turned out to be acid reflux), he was sleeping like a dream!!* 💕
Good to know. Baby #4 has reflux and can't do a long feed. He eats every 1.75-2 hrs, most nights too, because his little tiny belly can't handle being full.
@@MorganMcRory Poor guy. I remember those nights. I hope he feels better soon! 💕
how long did Colic last? My daughter has this😢
Congratulations, you made it through colic mostly alive 🥲 colic is very very hard..
@@sarab8618 our son’s lasted three months. Hang in there, it’s not easy..
Another way to get them to sleep better is bed sharing ... I was also told sleep eat wake but that got stressful cuz my baby would always fall asleep while nursing and so I ignored that and I always nurse her to sleep and she sleeps really well and has since I started bed sharing at 2 wks old..she definitely still nurses at night once or twice sometimes more..even at almost 9 months old but she nurses while shes asleep kinda like dream feeding which is also a good way to get them to sleep better..
Bed sharing can really backfire. Many kids, my son included, at some point start just eating every 30-45 min. One cycle of sleep, and instead of going into the next one they smell your boobs. It completely ruined my nights, so I had to stop cosleeping. Just put him in the crib right at my side and it became way better. At 2.5 years, had to move him into another room, because again whenever he woke up, he wanted to move around and woke me up. At that age there was no issue and he got used to his new room in 3 days. And all of us have enough sleep now. I miss sleeping with him, but good sleep is more important.
Both my kids sleep 9-10 hours by 3 months and did All of this! So glad to have good sleepers! 2 year old sleep 13 hours last night and 3 month old sleep 9🙌🏽
This video literally saved my life! I went from a completely sleepless night with my 6 day old newborn to getting almost 7 hours last night (between feedings of course)! I feel like I’m on the right track now and wanted to thank you SO MUCH!!!
Sarah Hellman congrats! God bless you and your baby!
Third baby and still looking for tips
We did cry it out. They were fine. Lol. Unless something was legitimately wrong.
I'm on baby number 4 and always looking for tips.
@@ihavenoideawhatimdoinghere6285 For sleep? Or just in general? How old are they now?
No matter how many kids we still need help
@@caity9244 9, 4 and a half, 14 months, and I'm due in 2 weeks. Mainly general tips, but also choosing skills for what to prepare for.. Lol all my babies were drastically different than each other.
I love seeing someone talking about sleep without CIO 😍. A routine is definitely a must but a lot of these tips wouldn’t work for breastfed babies. Feeding to sleep is a biological norm and feeding on demand is completely necessary for a boobie baby x
Right on! As a mom of 11, I have done all these things too! My babies have always been great sleepers and happier while awake because they are getting enough sleep.
jeri workman omg. 11. You are superwoman!
I breastfeed the first 9 of them for an average of 10 months each. The last 2 are twins. I nursed them for 2 months but the pregnancy was hard and I have complications due to the severe acid reflux I had during the pregnancy so I have to take medication that prevents me from nursing them.
jeri workman as long as baby is fed you’re a great mom🙌
They must have been great sleepers or you would never have made it to 11! Amazing! Mad respect.
Elevennnnn ?!?!? Jesus Christ you’re a good woman and I’m sure mom
Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 🍓🍓🍓
Girl!! This is EXACTLY what I needed as I’m struggling with my five week old baby to sleep longer periods at a time through the night! Would you consider doing a 24 hour full day with your babes so I can see how, when, where etc your baby feeds and sleeps during that 24 hours?
5 week olds should not be sleeping for long stretches!! Don't force it. Please.
As a great-grandma, I recently witnessed my granddaughter’s nightly struggle to get our 11 month old to sleep. He doesn’t just wake up, he’s hysterical every hour or 2. She cosleeps, she nurses, she walks him around, she sings, she bounces, and by day she’s a zombie. She would say that none of your methods work, some of which Worked for me 50 years ago, but she seems unwilling to change. I understand the argument that you want to cuddle as long as you can, but it’s also important and necessary to teach baby to get a good night’s sleep for both of your health and sanity. God bless you for sharing your experience.
@I Love The Colour Pink Literally how are you against breastfeeding?
@I Love The Colour Pink
Why are you even here if you've never even experienced pregnancy before ???
The baby maybe is overtired, also co sleeping sometimes is more tired… i was like that, i moved my baby to her room and crib and everything started to gets better but after a month approximately, consistency and patience everything gets better. But be aware about wake window and naps
Loved what you said about the noise during the day (even through the evening), we did the same thing with our babies; during the day we didn't stop "life" from happening. I would keep the music going in the background during the day nothing crazy but a "dull roar", the baby would nap and not be startled by doorbells or other noises. I did a lot of your tips and people hated me because I had babies at 4 months sleeping through the night, not every night is perfect but when you can get 4 nights in a 7 day week really good your not sleep deprived and it just gets better as baby gets bigger!
All the best to your family!
4themotherload
Yes! Having babies get used to the noise is better. They can sleep through alot 😊
Any tips on how to get baby used to the noise? I’ve been trying to go on with life as usual and not making my 2 year old be quiet while my newborn sleeps but she just doesn’t sleep through it and then she gets in this crazy overtired rut 😩
I have almost all of these with great consistency and my first slept through the night at 4 months old and my second at 2 months old. My first was formula fed and my second was EBF. My second can sleep through any noise. Listen Jordan your tips are great!! I had some of the best advice from my mother in law. She had 4 kids of her own and has babysat children for 20 years and I’ve seen how she turns a fussy baby who won’t sleep and wants to be held to one who is perfectly content sleeping in a playpen through noise. Routine is also great, babies get used to it and it grows with them. My kids know it’s dinner, bath, story time, prayer and lights out.
How does she do it?
Sooo many of my friends have had babies in the past few months, Jordan your wisdom is not being shared in vein. Thank you!!
These same tips got me into trouble with nursing my daughter because my production went back and she didn't gain any weight. I also was not happy in those weeks. Once I started to follow her and fed on demand, plus start co-sleeping, she started to grow, I got my production back and we were both happier. And she is now almost 2,5 and still breastfed and still co-sleeping and we truly are much happier this way. So it depends on babies and mothers what works for them.
Genius! My fave tip was changing the diaper halfway through a feeding!
Oh my goodness! My baby use to be a champion sleeper. Idk what happened but for a month around the time he turned 5 months he didn't want to be left alone in his crib and wanted to cluster fed worst of all he only wanted to sleep in our bed. But after seeing your video I gave him a bath, read to him THEN I swaddled him for the first time in months and he was fine when I laid him down in his crib. Thank you so much for this video! Praying I can get more sleep now 😴
Giselle Remis Makeup Artist babies have sleep regressions several times during the first year because of their development. Don’t worry, you got this!
And you are also blessed with good sleepers. Happy Mother’s Day
I always Warmed the wet wipes in my hands. I agree on the Jordan hold. I did that too, in the 80’s. I’m watching this as a Gramma.
You always have the smartest advice and you give it in the sweetest, most understanding way. I love your videos!
THANK YOU! I'm in the midst of this - 4 week old, first time mom, and it's been a rough day. Thank you. I literally took notes :)
Congrats, Mama! You've got this!
I love your parenting content! LOVE IT. You have such a practical approach to everything in your life, I'd love to see more of how you apply it to your parenting.
Sleep training my 2 months old 100% going to start this bc I’m going back to work soon!
This is a summation of Babywise. I would highly recommend this book to all new parents. A great, helpful read to a good night's sleep.
babywise has been NOT recommended and even considered abusive by many pediatricians!
You literally just gave the cliff notes for “Baby Wise” it’s a super old school awesome baby book I have used to get all my babies sleeping through the night by 12 weeks (usually they sleep through the night a lot sooner). If you haven’t read it I will be shocked, bc it legit is every thing you just said, except for the sweet baby hold I’m going to try to night w my 5 week old.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing! Babywise is the best!
Our daughter and son in law had a 13 month old when their twins were born, I think I will send this on to her. Plus, it gave gma some good tips as well. Thanks!!!
As the mom of almost 14 yr old twins, I wish I had some of these tips! Really great to know as an aunty though , now I can help with my newborn nieces, nephews and baby cousins. Thank you
Twins are so fun! You're so welcome!
While I totally agree with getting routine going and lord knows have I given some bad sleep crutches... limiting feeds to every 3 hours probably will disrupt you building your milk supply if you are trying breastfeeding. It builds best when you feed on demand, which can be much more regular especially during cluster days/nights. And yes some feeds are more for comfort, and baby often wakes looking for that closeness, smell etc. None of my family breastfed and their babies all slept through from 3-7 weeks. Mine didn’t until fully weaned at 1+. That’s frustrating but I think mums new to breastfeeding should have open expectations.
Lorna122 there’s so much judgement if your baby doesn’t sleep through it’s like you’re failing
Same here, I feel like nursing is just a different journey. Once I weaned at about 18 months we were able to sleep train.
Breastmilk it's so easily digested babies need feeding more regularly.
Oh the cluster feeds! I have 6 littles and co slept with all of them, nursed on demand- after they were weaned the sleep training started. Not ashamed- never had a baby sleep through the night until after weaning 🤷🏻♀️- my boobs would be to sore and I wouldn’t have good milk supply if I waited so long to nurse. Some tips are nice for naps like laying down awake- but I’m guilty of always rocking and nursing them to sleep- time goes by soooo fast and I just wanted to rock and love on my babies. ✌🏻😊
Briann Conn totally agree... never left them to self soothe until they were 2+
Which has its pros and cons. Am expecting no. 3 now so I will try things a little differently... my husband thinks I’m a lost cause 😂 that once my mama instinct kicks in I’ll be there nursing, rocking and singing to sleep all over again 😉
Here I am... 18... childless.. student... watching ALL of your videos. Its always good to be educated I guess
Me too haha
And also I'm not planning on havimg children before having finished law school haha
This was me for years 😂 But I had a lot of ideas of how I wanted to parent when the time came!
I want like 10 kids tho later so im just preparing REALLY early
Yeah me too haha, i already know how I want to parent and how my kids should be educated and so on
Just had my 4th baby 3 weeks ago. I COMPLETELY agree with diaper changes halfway through feedings!! I learned that with my first baby.
Should I be worried about milk regurgitation if I change their diaper halfway through their feeding?
A year after the vid was upload, I raised 2 girls by myself. All of these tips, are so right on!!! I see all all these moms turning on bright lights. And always force feeding, or over feeding them. Baths and routine are so so important. Both of my girls slept through the night at about 2 mo.
I have a 1 month old- my 5th-and I am living this right now! All of these tips really work...and they are the babywise method 😃. The halfway through feeding diaper change at night is spot on.
Loved watching the hand motions from under the baby 😂 good job Mom and thank you for the tips!
I can vouch for EVERYthing you said! YES. Moms, you don't have to live sleep deprived! You can do it!
agreed
Laura Risdall {minnesotateachermom} many moms do all of this...and still their baby is just not ready.
For the night feeds, Ikea has this amazing battery candle that light up just enough for you to see but not enough to wake baby up!! I love it!!
Ines Padron do you know the name of it or what it looks like ?
nicol lopez yes! Mognad (led block candle) costs $1.99 product code (603.617.77) I love it!
Yay, to the noise tip! I've always thought it's silly to insist it must be quiet for a baby to sleep. Millions of babies around the world are born into and live in noisy environments and they sleep just fine😊
I second all these tips, these are the same I told people when they asked me how my kids slept so good through the night!
Love this, I’ve used some of these in the past and it’s always worked like a charm. I also learned new things. And for any new mom Routine is absolutely key.
I did the eat-wake-sleep cycle as well and had great success with it! Also, did some of the other tips you suggested! I have a great sleeper! I am pregnant now and will incorporate some of the other tips you shared! Learned some new things 😄
I'm glad this was helpful for you!
I don’t have children yet BUT I LOVE all your videos! such great content. You and your partner are rockstars 👊🏽💖
Life saver! This video just popped up in my feed and coincidentally I’m on day 2 of no sleep with a 6 week old baby😅 Hoping your tips work for us!
Aww hang in there, mama!
I was literally just Googling this and your video went up 🙌🏼 thank youuuuu
Same!!
Abbey Storm How funny!! I’ll take any advice I can get 🤣
I learned all of this the hard way, with my first I did all the mistakes possible) my second is 5 weeks, falls asleep by herself in the evening and only wakes up once for half an hour feed -dream baby )
All of these tips are the truth! This is exactly what I do with my twins! Thanks for sharing!
Being a first time mom and having my mom pass away a few weeks before my son was born has been really difficult. It's really great that I can find these types of videos with amazing tips, since Ican'task my mom. Thank you for sharing these tips and I will definitely be trying them out.
That sounds heartbreaking and really hard. I hope you’re doing a little better these days
Yes! Great tips for new and seasoned moms alike! We used nearly all of these tips with our little one and she was sleeping through the night by 5 weeks. She's a happy, healthy little one who still loves her sleep and now asks to go to bed on a routine basis. Great idea about rotaing their head! It may not be for everyone, but these seem to be essentially all the tips from "Babywise" if anyone is looking for more information. I know it's a curse word in some circles, but it has been such a blessing to see how our girl has thrived due to consistency, (and frankly, who isn't a better parent when they actually are able to get some sleep?) 😂
I am 27. I am not a mother and being a mom makes me nervous to think about but I am opening up more to the idea of becoming a mother. I'm watching this video to get ahead just in case that journey ever comes for me.😁
I have seven....YES, Mama!!!! Eat, Awake, Sleep saved our sanity!!! ❤️
wow! way to go
I did it wrong. I didn't know better but breastfed my son to sleep. Now he only falls asleep while being breastfed. If I try to feed him to feed and then put him into his crib he will wake up instantly and cry so badly. Any tips on what to do? I'd really appreciate them.
@@youdid5621 the only tip is to stop feeding to sleep. Start feeding when they wake up, play/book/wake time then put down awake.
We did EASY eat, awake/activity, sleep, you time!
You time could be nap, lunch, cleaning, shower etc... anything you needed
Babywise is what I used for my 1st ... she cried it out a lot!!! But now it's so worth it
4 months pregnant with my second baby and I’m saving this on a playlist. I didn’t know what I was doing the first time around so I’m not taking any chances with this one lol.
That perfected baby rock is exactly how I did it with my daughter. Worked for many a child as I grew up babysitting.
I’ve been reading On Becoming Baby Wise and this is basically everything they recommend!! Thanks!
Sounds a lot like BabyWise, which worked wonders for us also. It takes time and commitment, but lays a strong foundation over time, that saves hours upon hours of exhaustion, tears and frustration for both parent and child throughout life.
Great advice...you're so brave to do this video, Mamas mean well but they got alot of opinions😄. I raised 2 and did childcare in my home for 19 years for many more....routine and consistency is a must...and there's my advice😄 I did a safety pin on my nursing bra to remember which side to nurse on....wow, it's been 31 years...I miss those days.
P.S. I think you need a new channel name..#thebabywhisperer
I couldn’t agree with these more. I’ve had three children and been a nanny to five other babies and have similar philosophies on sleep. I was curious to see if there were any other tips, but I could’ve filmed this myself. So many people make it harder than it has to be.
Love all your tips
I've done a lot of them when my boys were babies
They are now 4 & 6 1/2
Thanks for your ideas ! The questions: when do you swaddle a baby ? Before feeding or after and what sheets do you use ? Which material ? Can I use the method of independent falling asleep with a 3 weeks old baby ?
All the new first time mama's are very fortunate to have your video's to fall back on. You really offer some fantastic advice, it would have been so helpful to have had these resources when l had my first baby!!! Looking fantastic Mama and congratulations on your new exciting venture!!🌿🌺
My doctor gave me the same advice, and it works for me and my baby!
I definitely plan to try your tips out. I have a 1 month old the sleep deprivation is real as a student mom I’m over here struggling 🥴 hope they work!
I agree with all u just said. My daughter is a great sleeper, she sleeps whole night, and when she was a baby, she always went to sleep during the noisy days time.. we never been "quite or so.." we act like normal and it works....
I agree the Eat Play Sleep works wonders. Haha as you said that I was think “but she’s feeding her baby to sleep as we speak” lol
I thought the exact same thing. “Watch me feed my baby to sleep as I tell you not to feed your baby to sleep.”
Omgggg! When you started rocking McEwan near the end of the video I unconsciously also started doing the mommy sway. Took me a minute to even realize it was happening! 😂😂
Love love love!!! I'm currently pregnant with our 1st and have been researching sleep training tons. Parenting is so unique to each family and baby, but I do believe that sleep for everyone is so, so needed.
I needed this 5 years ago 😅
It's okay, I know new mothers so I'll let them know to check this video out.
I'm pretty lucky that with my toddler & now my infant they both took to sleep routines really well & easily. I also have a touch lamp with 3 different dimming levels, the first level of dimming is perfect for night feeds
Routine! Routine! Routine! I sweat by it for bedtime now and my son is almost 4. Bedtime and nap time is not a struggle at all, because he knows what to expect.
I also recommend keeping their room dark at night. I know that seems so simple, but my husband and I used to leave a very dim light on. We thought the dark would bother our son when he woke during the night. We stayed at my in-laws when my son was like 4 months old and he slept 5 hours straight. We couldn’t believe it. That was a game changer for us.
Great tips in this video!
Good job Jordan. Good to have an experienced Mom is so many areas. And there are 5 cries to listen to. Google Dunstan...ahhh is tired, nhe is hunger plus 3 more. Legs shouldn't be swaddled.
Here is the most valuable (and most neglected) tip: 1:08
We don't have a family yet, but I still love watching your videos. We are focusing on getting out of debt first. Should be by next April! Thank you for being such an inspiration.
You are welcome!
Your boy is getting so big!! I always think he looks like his Daddy in your videos, but in that clip at the end he looked just like you!! 💛 Great tips, a lot of these have worked for me!! My son is over a year old now and he has been sleeping through the night since he was 3 months. If you have any tips for sleep regression during rough teething times, please letcha girl know!! 😂
Man this makes me feel so lucky. My daughter started sleeping through the night at 2 months old, she is almost 4 months now. I think it really depends on the baby. A consistent routine definitely helps. We let her sleep during the day if she is tired, but she is pretty active in the day. We put her to bed at 9pm every night, make sure she is fed and changed and put into pajamas every night. We put her in the swing until she falls asleep and then we take her up to her pack n play or her crib and turn on her music box. She doesn't wake up until 7-9 am. We always change her diaper after feeding her, she takes between 4-8oz with each feeding. She's starting to teeth now and she misses me now that I work nights so she is starting to want a bit more attention but the schedule hasn't changed too much. My boyfriend has been putting her down at about 10-11pm and she's up between 6-8am.
I have a two month old and these are great tips. When you think you've learned it all there's always more helpful information out there. Thank you so much
Wow thanks for sharing!!
My baby is 9 months old and she's been sleeping through the night since 2 months 😊. It's my first baby and I did sooooo much research and did every single one of the things you mentioned and YES they all are so helpful 😊
One thing I wanted to mention that helped us was to make sure your baby is getting enough ounces in a day before bedtime. I breastfed and made sure we didn't skip a feeding or prolong it. If they don't get enough ounces anywhere from 23-30 They will wake up hungry because they are not satisfied.
You got lucky with a naturally good sleeper, girlfriend! Enjoy it 😁 Lots of parents do all the "right" things and their babies still don't sleep through.
Jordy position is perfect ..I use it..it works great for my baby ☺️☺️☺️when he is super excited to sleep 😴
Love this vlog!! 5 weeks away from having my first baby!! I sent this to my husband! Thank you so much.
Aww congrats, Mama!
I would give this a 10 thumbs up if I could. I am sharing with my daughter.
oh my good! i just love you. your such a power women. i wish i would have seen this video before i gave birth or right after it. well next will be hopefully better prepared with all these great hacks. thank you
My little boy has come to work with me since he was about a week old. I would hold him the same way to put him to sleep. Works so fast.
