I was listening to her nap schedule and I realize our babies are on the same time schedule...well I know she's older now but still. Great video!
Thank you !
Same here 😃
I have been a baby nurse for over 30yrs, let me say that her experience will not be yours bcas not every baby is the same and because of that I found I had to analyze each baby and develop a strategy in which work for each. Yesss, I do love her approach but let me remind your motherly Instinct, will guide you as well. Be encouraged.
💯 agree with you, thank you for sharing from your experience ❤️ love seeing comments like this
Your baby is a doll, enjoy your motherhood
& post more videos
NATALIA BEE thank you 💜💗 will try to do!
Thank you sharing your real experience. This is so worth for me.
Sashi Liyana aw you’re really sweet! I’m so glad it is helpful 😊
Can’t wait to try this out ! I have a 2 1/2 month old !
Mums go on like this something to be proud of a baby is meant to have regular feeds and replenished with milk as they are growing so quick
Ahhh the first baby, they’re always perfect 🥰 then you have the second baby and it all goes downhill lol
😂
I can't wait to try this method. Thank you!
Omega Fumba Absolutely! You got this
I’m about to start this method with my son
Highly recommend the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child for more helpful information. Gives detailed research on the benefits of sleep training and exactly what steps to take.
Thank you for this video. I have few questions. On the first night, when she woke up in the middle of the night, did u feed her and put her back down awake or fully asleep? At that age was she taking short naps?
How to get a 2 month old to sleep in the night? Simple answer - not breastfeeding. Breastfed babies need a feed every 3-4 hours at that age.
Interesting, my baby started sleeping through the night about 9 hours at 3 months too without any training. He stirs every 4 hours for a feed and goes right back afterwards.
hugs to all Mamas with wakey-wakey babies 🤗
That’s not sleeping through the night! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!!
Thankew so much dear
Omg thank you for the advice! BTW your daughter loooks a lot like mine !!!
How long are the naps for? Can you please write down your routine for us. This mama hasn’t slept in 10 weeks 💤😫
Hi! Aw, it doesn’t have to be that way for much longer :) Baby’s wake up time: 8 AM. First nap: 10 Am ( usually 1/2 hour sometimes up to an hour if I’m lucky) 2nd nap is at Noon ( anywhere from 30 min- 2 hours ). Then around 2:30- 3 pm is her 3rd nap. Also around the same time frame. 5-6 pm she takes her 4th nap. Closer to 8 pm is the final nap and usually 30 minutes or so. At 9:30-10 pm I start doing the night routine: well fed, diaper changed, calm and peaceful at home ( bath time sometimes) etc. once I feel like she’s ready and could sleep - that’s what we do!
Ellie Lily thank you so much for your reply!
Just subscribed!! Thanks for the advice. Want to teach my 3 months old to sleep through the night 🙏🏾
I did the same but some how my son still awake every 1-2 hours.. he is still 7 weeks but hopefully he can sleep thru the night really soon!
Babies are meant to be feed very regularly for a good reasons
I think you got lucky. My 8 week old wakes every 45min-2hrs even though I do everything you have mentioned. Do you have a suggestions for keeping the baby asleep longer?
Have you tried making sure baby isn't gassy ? Perhaps something else is bothering their sleep.
My baby is 2 months in a half. I start prepping her for bed by taking her a bathe by 7 getting her dress oilingher down and giving her a good bottle I also turn off the lights and noise but I may keep on the tv in our room but she still fussy when she lays down
I finally got my baby to start sleep training day 1. And she was sleep by 715 the goal was 730 not sure if it was the shots she got today or all the suggestions plus some added techniques I used. I’m just wondering about what happens when she wakes up during the night for her feeding how I get her back to sleep the same way
Well he takes naps during the night and during the days sleeps well
So she used the pick up and put down method.
Cool.
Must be nice! My baby doesn't sleep
My baby too sleeps at night..but my question is whether she will lose weight as she is not taking feeds in between?
Please consult with your pediatrician
Thanks for sharing! During those first three nights, how long did she cry before going to sleep? Or did she sleep at all those first nights?
Yes I wanna know this too!
Two month olds aren’t supposed to sleep through the night. Their stomachs are so tiny that they have to have frequent, small feedings. As they grow, so do their stomachs, and especially once they start solids, which are more filling, they can sleep for longer stretches. I have never known a two or three month old who has slept through the night. I would have been very worried if my kids did. You can’t change anatomy.
I agree, i sit here listening and i cant imagine doing this, without feeding him, specially that he is breast-fed
Mine slept maybe 2-4 hours during her 2-3 month. 2 on most nightts..4 on the rare occasion lol. She only started doing 5-6 after 4 months.
It depends on the babies weight gain, you need them to weigh enough that they can control their blood sugar. My baby is 2 months old right now, goes 7 hours at night without feeding and is 13.5 lbs which is the 90th percentile for weight gain, so I'm pretty sure shes not being starved by going that long without feeding.
@@ChrissW528 No one said they were starved. My 2 both weighed about that much, if not more, at 2 months. They were both big babies and still didn’t sleep through the night at that age. My son didn’t sleep through the night until he was around 18 months, but my daughter was a much better sleeper. Again, every baby is different.
This is what happens when unqualified people give out advice
My 2 months old wakes up 1hr before WDT, should I give her 1oz breastmilk snack or should I let her cry it out 1 hr until WDT and give full feeding?.. She goes to bed at 10pm until 4.30am where she gets a full feeding and wakes up again at 8am. Her WDT is 9am.. Due to my work schedule.
Hi Melissa, that is actually a very good sleeping window for a 2 month old. I would say If she is asking to feed, feed her. She is still in the newborn stage so give her a little time to adapt, but you’re really close to the time when babies have longer sleeping stretches. I would also just make sure that she is really well fed before bed time, my baby ate 3-4 oz at 2.5 months before she went to sleep. I also truly believe that as her mommy, you know what your little one needs. Don’t be discouraged if it makes a little longer than you would like, it will happen if you stick to a routine. Hope this helps a little!
@@xoellielily Thank you! :).. She eats 3oz every 3hrs on the dot between naps and 4oz sometimes a tiny bit more before she goes to bed for the night and again 4oz when she wakes up at 4.30am. I went in there with 2oz and she only drank 1oz, laid her back to sleep with some cry it out and started the day as per her WDT. She used to be a horrible night sleeper and horrible napper, now with sleep training she is a good night sleeper but still a horrible napper. I'll keep at it though :)
Haha mine still fusses when it’s time for nap so I completely understand but that’s ok. The most important thing is that we can all get some rest at night to function during the day. I’m so happy sleep training is working for you 👍🏼👌🏼 that is awesome !
What is wrong with you be a woman an make a dam decision.....you don’t need this kid telling you how to do things......this one needs a pacifier herself
@@xoellielily😊
You have a very beautiful baby girl!
Thank you 😊
How would you do it with the pacifier? My daughter will be 3 months tomorrow and she likes when I rock her and having the pacifier is soothing for her .. so do I give her the pacifier then take it away when I place her down?
Awwwww
Thank you!
How many hours for the nap time?
1-3 hours
Were all of her bottles 4oz or just the last one?
When you were trying this method gor three days, were you feeding her during night? Or just put down pickup? Please reply
I fed her with formula at night and she would get my milk first thing in the morning
When you put her in the bassinet was she tired, asleep or wide awake?
She was tired and overly active
Idk how my baby does not sleep at all during the night. She’s 2 months & will sleep maybe for 40min then wake back u.
there are so many different reasons this could be happening. Speak your your pediatrician first . She must have her longest nap during the day. Am I right? You’ll need to either slowly make her nap time during the days shorter and just have her be whinny as long as possible so that you can teach her to sleep in the evening and eventually night. BUT this is only if there is no other reason for her doing so- if she has a runny ache, try giving her simethicone drops, or perhaps if you’re breast feeding and drinking caffeine…
Definitely has her longest nap during the day. Might be sometimes she sleeps good thru the night. But of lately she definitely hasn’t. But will obviously nap more during the day when she’s with mama & dada at work.
At 2 months they start developing their microbiome - both of mine would wake up and just cry for hours and want to be held from 2-5 AM. It’s not just your baby. I would start to wake her up 20-30 min before she normally does and wait till her final evening nap to put to sleep. I know it feels like forever but it will change if you’re being patient, nurturing and also persistent in helping her differentiate the day vs night.
Ultimately trust your gut. You know what’s right for your baby, whether my pov is relevant or not. Wishing you and your baby the best 💕
So glad you found it helpful! Hang in there!
Is she getting 4 oz every nap ?
How do you put her to sleep on her naps?
Ge Carney Hi , I rock her in a stroller
I make sure she’s well fed, clean diaper, burped and then I put her in with a swaddle and she goes to sleep, or I plan my errands around her nap time so she can nap in the car seat 🥰❤️
@@xoellielily aw that's a good hack! 😁
Ge Carney I’m so glad you found it helpful :)
How do you wake her up from nap?please reply
Thanks a lot for the tips. Me and my wife are really having trouble getting our 2 month old little one to sleep properly. I also wonder how you managed with the gas problem, did you go through a specific diet? Thanks for the answer in advance.
Suhrab Sadullayev hopefully some of the tips I shared will help! Sometimes it takes a few tries for the baby to realize its ok to relax and sleep, they it’s safe so just stick to the routine! Have you tried Gripe Water or using Collic Drops? It was a life savor for the first 3 months. You can buy them from the baby department at almost any store. It is soothing to their little tummies
@@xoellielily any brand you recommend for gas? I follow the same routine as you but my baby wakes up around 3 a.m. due to gas
Leto Dayz have you guys tried colic drops or gripe water?
@@xoellielily yes and probiotics too and she still wakes up crying and pushing hard 💨💨💨
Leto Dayz does she have regular bowl movements? At least once a day. It could be the formula or if it’s mother’s milk maybe the mom is eating broccoli/ leafy greens ? If she can move herself around already ( at least 4 months old ) I would try to let her sleep on her tummy. My baby loves that and it will help with the gases but she needs to be at least able to move her head for breathing
Hi 🙋🏽♀️ my baby(10weeks) sleeps like a dream during the day. She sleeps 2-5hours, wakes up to eat in between and would sleep again for the same amount of time more or less. So she basically has two very long naps durin the day. when it comes to night time she doesn’t sleep as long. Sometimes 30mins/1hour and wakes up! Do you think she is sleeping too much during the day? And if yes how long should she sleep and can I wake her up ☹️wish she slept that long at night.
My baby was the same way ! She’s 2 months old . She would sleep like 3-5 hours during the day and at night she would sleep like an hour and a half each stretch . So I kept her up during the day for 1 day as much as I could then she would sleep but I would wake her up after 2 hours at the most . Poor thing was having a hard time ! After two days she started to sleep less in the daytime . Basically she stays awake for 1 to 1 hour and a half and then it’s nap time. Her bedtime is between 10-11 pm and then she wakes up around 3 . Two nights ago she went to bed at 1130 and woke up 4:58 am ! I was shocked ! It was hard to keep her up at first but it’s worth it now 🤗
@@danielaresendiz7136 wow that sounds great. I will try keep her up as well and see if this works with her. Thank u so much 🤍
@@danielaresendiz7136 you know it’s cruel to keep a baby up during the day if she’s really tired? Because you want a 2(!) month old to sleep longer at night?
@@sarahbozkurt9599 her pediatrician recommended I try that. I also read some people trying that . She sleeps all night now. Barely turned 3 months. A lot of moms will agree and disagree with everyone’s parenting skills.
@@danielaresendiz7136 could u suggest activities when the baby is awake?..don't she become fussy and crying a lot because of sleepy or tired ?
Never stop feeding a baby every 3hours even at night before 6month! Their blood sugar will drop and it will causes issues 😊
As long as they're gaining enough weight, pediatricians say they can go as long as they are able
My four month baby is perfectly healthy and only eats every five hours at night. 🤷🏼♀️
Feel sorry for every baby which mother cares more of her comfort more that wellbeing of baby...
what a disgusting comment. Mother shaming is disgusting. Do not ever pass judgment. You clicked on this video. Respect other peoples lives and opinions. She IS giving her baby all they need. Please try to think before you pass judgement. Just because someone else does something differently or has different views to you, it does not mean they or you are wrong.
Sleep makes you a better mom. No sleep makes you even more frustrated when you deal with a crying baby. Moms need comfort and sleep too. Be kind to yourself. It doesn't make women bad mothers. Your comment is shite.
@@claretheworm I could not agree more with you and we need help in that time not neglect crying baby... I have kid too and still stand that at least for first 3 month is NO for not assisting when baby cry.
@@phoebecrayk9143
@@phoebecrayk9143 Sorry if expressing my opinion offend you, but i am mother and it is really hard with some baby but to leave any baby espessially up to 6 months to cry out is BAD for baby full stop. You just do your research what it really does and then maybe you will be less offended.
and yes sometimes people are wrong... just we should always try to look at other side of the story, and regarding being judgmental- I am not, as i do not tell you what to do i just tell you what i think is right and my opinion is base of study this subject. Please look at documentary with this kind of experiments and you will see yourself whats good and bad.
NEVER EVER BABY SHOULD EXPIERIENCE CRY OUT!!!! PLEASE DO LOOK AT THIS HOW THIS CAN DEEPLY DAMAGE YOUR KID . BABIES AT THIS TIME NEED MUM, NOT TO BE TRAIN.
Just because you do not believe in it does not mean you should comment like this. You are a grown woman and start to act like one. Be open to discussion, state your thoughts, but be open to other views. It is ok to have your thoughts and opinions, it is ok to state how you feel, it is not ok to talk to people like this who you do not agree with.
Amy, it’s beautiful that you genuinely care about babies and not letting their needs be neglected. I love that and am all for it! As any mother will experience at one point or another, sometimes babies will just cry even though all their needs are met because the world is so née to them. Moms give everything for the well being of their little ones. My intent with this video is not to tell moms to neglect their babies but to help mommies adjust to the life changing role of becoming a mother, and to gain a sense of comfort knowing that they are doing their best and that’s ok. For me, having some sort of structure/ regimen was vital when I had my daughter because I was always so worried and stressed out about my new role and wondering if I was doing a good job being a mother - my hope is to help mommies who are in the same spot. Sending my Best wishes ❤️
I let my son cry it out sometimes because he was a terrible sleeper. He would get so overtired and refuse to calm down and go to sleep no matter what I did. It stopped at 18 months. He is now a wonderful adult with no issues! Crying it out is not the end of the world! Sometimes it’s the only thing left to do, and that’s what the Ferber method is. I needed my sleep, and I wasn’t about to stay up all night with him when he needed his sleep.
@@phoebecrayk9143 seriously? what line you do not agree i wrote?! I just ask for anybody who think about this method to study little more even just for peace of mind, I am sorry if i ask too much of loving mothers...i am shock, as your attitude just show me how desperately you want to believe is good, but think for who really is good, I know that for sure is good for you...
@@xoellielily Thank you for your kind comment, you know how to answer but i need to say that hoping to help when you just start to learn your mother journey and does not really know what is really right can be damaging for many women who likes you and just take example from you as it suits they comfort, as you can agree it is very good for mother, just leave the baby and have time.. i am sorry but there is not much excuse for women who has family support to do such thing, wish more women get little bit deeper in study this method and its possible consequences for baby.
