- 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!

Sleep when baby sleeps, fold laundry when baby folds laundry!
Holly Long best comment 📌
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 💜
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
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
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.
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?
🙆t y tu y
Hi Hailey, I need to follow this too.what do u think did it
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.
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?
Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 🍓🍓🍓
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)
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.
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
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.
The tips about the horizontal baby hold is GOLDEN. This has worked so well.
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.
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?
Love this!!! Putting these tips into practice starting right now
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
Loved watching the hand motions from under the baby 😂 good job Mom and thank you for the tips!
You always have the smartest advice and you give it in the sweetest, most understanding way. I love your videos!
This was the most amazing advice! Thank you, Jordan!! 😊
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
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.
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 😉
Where’d you purchase your swaddles from? Love the material!
Love you so much, Jordan - this video was super helpful and inspiring for me with baby #2 on the way!
I saw this pop up while I was watching RUclips and I immediately clicked it lol
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.
All the best tips in one video. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Sleep training my 2 months old 100% going to start this bc I’m going back to work soon!
Sooo many of my friends have had babies in the past few months, Jordan your wisdom is not being shared in vein. Thank you!!
Routine is everything for me, especially with 2 under 2! Thank you for these tips ❤️
The best tips I’ve found on RUclips
Great video! Can’t wait to start applying these tips to my 2 month old ❤️
And you are also blessed with good sleepers. Happy Mother’s Day
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
Great tips thanks 👍😊
Such a great video and channel! Really enjoy watching. And appreciate the focus on no tears!
Great video! Can you tell me what brand your rocker recliner is? It looks SO comfy
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
Thank you thank you, I knew some of these tips but will definitely use the rest with the one coming in 8 weeks!
jordan, i just discovered you and have been binging your videos- thank you!! i'm a mom of 2 and love your 'how to's' on dinner/snack ideas and can't BELEIVE you don thave more subscribers. you have such great content. THANK U!!
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 👆
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
One of the best videos I've seen. There is a lot of knowledge here. Thanks for sharing💕.
super tips thank you kindly!
Don’t have a baby, but I now want a rocking armchair 😄
i really feel this comment in my soul
agreed
I highly suggest one! 😂
Too funny.
we got ours on facebook marketplace for $50 - highly recommend. we have the mikayla rocker if you want to see it on amazon.
Loved all of these. Definitely would recommend them as well. Most worked for me and glad you are sharing. 😊
Love this, thank you💗
About to have my first child, as many baby videos as you can will help so much! Love this one!
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.
I’ve been reading On Becoming Baby Wise and this is basically everything they recommend!! Thanks!
This is very helpful. Thanks.
This was excellent!! Thanks!
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?
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.
Soooo many good natural tips!! Thank you!! Not everyone has mommas and or ladies to learn from. Thank you for sharing!
This is gold! Thanks!
Oh, Jordan, thank you- as always- for sharing your tremendous wealth of knowledge in all aspects of family life and beyond. My 3rd child has had SUCH different issues with sleep than my first 2 and I was going bonkers trying to remember or search out all the advice I never before needed for getting babies to sleep (without spending stupid amounts of money on gadgets that I can't be sure will work for this little one). You are invaluable to this world, lady! Mucho gracias!
*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..
Thanks for the insight.. will try that with my first new baby boy.
Best video ever. Thanks for sharing these amazing tips.
I don’t have children yet BUT I LOVE all your videos! such great content. You and your partner are rockstars 👊🏽💖
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.
He is just precious!
Every baby is different but having a routine is so important and I’m so glad you made this video! Thank you Jordan once again 🙌🏼
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.
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!
Perfect explanation..thank you so.much..
GREAT tips, thank you!! I'm taking all the baby and kid advice from you that I get
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!
All of these tips are the truth! This is exactly what I do with my twins! Thanks for sharing!
This video is so helpful. Thanks so much! ❤️
That's hysterical. I totally hold my baby like that too! It definitely works!
I nurse mine to sleep, she sleeps 12 hours just fine lol.
Girl you bless
Oh my 😄 Both of my babies nurse/nursed every hour😄 But they are super good sleepers 🙏🏼
I love baby tips! You can never know too much when it comes to babies 😃
Thanks for sharing this!
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.
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!
Your animated farewell from the whole family was so fun😀
Very helpful video!!!
Love all your tips
I've done a lot of them when my boys were babies
They are now 4 & 6 1/2
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.
These are all such great tips! (And some things I need to remember for our next baby!!) THANK YOU!
Thank you! Gonna try this tonight!
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! 😂😂
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!!🌿🌺
Great advice!
Love love love these tips! Eat Play Sleep is sooooooooo important! Love the Jordan hold too! Thanks so much for sharing xx
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.
That hold 🙌🏼!!! That's exactly how I hold my baby girl when she's fussy!! It's always worked! And I agree, these tips all work! Ironically, we've done pretty much all these things with this baby, and she's been my best sleeper yet!! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for ur tips!! Just praticed it about swaddle the baby, and it works on my baby.
Great tips,I’m a grandma with a fussy 6 month, different look on the swaddling, thank
Genius! My fave tip was changing the diaper halfway through a feeding!
I was literally just Googling this and your video went up 🙌🏼 thank youuuuu
