Thanks for your videos! I just knew your channel. And it’s very helpful. I have 7 month old and sleep is disastrous. To start, we have bedtime routine but it’s always a disaster because he starts to cry in bath, then to putting on clothes, still fussy and crying. Then i feed him to sleep but needs pacifier afterwards. Then he wakes up at 10pm, 11pm, 1am, 3am, 5am, 6am. I feed him every time he wakes up because this is the only way he knows how to sleep. I’m very very tired already. 😢
Hello and thanks for your comment! It sounds like your baby needs to learn some independent sleep skills so that he can get better sleep during the night (and you too ;). Our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet program would be perfect to teach him these skills. Please find more information here: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant. Please let us know if you have any questions! Best, Ingrid, BSMS Support Team
When I fist started sleep training last week I would go in and pat my son on the back. He was comforted by this and would relax and go back to sleep. But after a week his response changed. Now he gets so mad if I didn't pick him up. So I stopped going in. I seems to upset him more. So not I'm not going in at all. He cries but seems to go back to bed. I hope he's ok and the crying gets less and less. Thanks for your videos. Love them!

It’s a great video with great advice. I’m just wondering if I can use these techniques with baby with severe reflux? As I have to keep him upright for at least half an hour and can never put him to bed drowsy
I did this with my reflux baby but I modified it to what he needed. He is a very assertive baby and does not cry unless he is upset rather than hungry, scared, etc so I had to do the cry it out method. I waited until his vomiting turned into spit ups at 4 months and I especially made sure he ate enough during the day. As a reflux baby it’s important to make sure they are eating enough calories for their weight in order to sleep at night. My baby is very tall and heavy for his age. 18lbs and 26.4 inches at 4 months old so he needs the calories of a 6 month old during the day (with the exception of maybe 1-2 feedings at night) in order to feel fully satiated so that he can sleep through the night. I hope this helps.

If I reduce the amount of time for nightfeedings, lets say from 10 to 5 minutes, wont the baby wake up more often to nurse because she wasnt full after the first nightfeed?
Hello! You will want it to be a slow process. You can work on gradually reducing the night feeds, but then you need to compensate and get your LO to eat more during the day (reducing calories at night, but increasing during the day). You can also check out our step by step night weaning guide here! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team www.babysleepmadesimple.com/weaning-night-feedings
Hi! First of all thank you for this video, it came in a time of great need for us. My baby is 6 months old and currently co sleeping with me in the bed. He has short feedings during the night almost every hour and, even though I'm exhausted, I don't mind it that much, but I'm concerned about the fact that he seems to be tired all the time now. My husband insisted on trying the Ferber method - I'm kind of against it - but it failed on our fist try. Our baby never sleeps on his tummy and, even though he mastered rolling over from back to tummy very early on, he seems to get stuck when he's on his tummy and, as a result, cries uncontrollably. I'm not comfortable with doing the Ferber method knowing he can't chose a sleeping position to his liking. What do you advise us to do? I want to give the gentle method described in the video a try, but when I pick my baby up and he's crying, he starts searching for my breast and gets even more upset if I don't offer it to him. - I'd like to wean him from night feedings because I'm pretty sure nursing is a sleep association for him, as he's eating well during the day and is quite chunky. Thank you!!
At 6 months your baby can learn the skill of settling himself to sleep. When he can fall asleep on his own at bedtime, he'll be able to resettle himself any time he stirs during the night (without needing to nurse.) Sleeping longer stretches will help him and you not be so tired during the day. (Plus it helps babies eat better during the day too. ) You don't have to do Ferber. There are MANY ways to teach babies to self-settle. I recommend starting with my Exhausted Mom's Survival Kit. This is where I walk you through exactly what to do to help your baby settle easier and sleep longer. You can sign up for it here: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/exhausted-moms-survival-kit After you've gone through the kit and are doing the steps, we work on getting baby falling asleep on his own. After the age of 5 months, babies DO have this ability. We just have to guide them. I help parents do this everyday in my program, 21 Days to Peace & Quiet: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/21-days-to-peace-quiet-program It's definitely possible to get your little guy sleeping better. Check out the above links and let me know if you have any questions. All the best, Jilly
My 8 month old baby who is used to co-sleeping and breastfeeding. We are trying to get him to fall asleep on his own in his own bed, but the problem is that he always sits up on his own immediately when i lay him down. How best to tackle it?
Hello Maria! Thanks so much for reaching out to us. Teaching your LO to fall asleep on his own is definitely the best way to help ensure he learns to sleep throughout the night independently. This is a wonderful and vital skill! I would give your LO lots of sitting practice time during the day. Sometimes though, it can be helpful to just give your LO space to lay himself down in the middle of the night. In our 21 Days to Peace and Quiet program, we help parents conquer sleep training step by step. We would love to support your family too!

Hello! How old is your LO? Many of our tips can be applied to a room sharing situation. Black out the room and have white noise near the crib so your LO can try to sleep through any disturbances. :) Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
I work nights and dad works days. He lets baby sleep when baby wants to nap. Baby doesnt sleep well at night and dad gives baby a bottle to sleep. How can i help my baby sleep????? And get dad on same page? He never wants to hear it from me bc hes already had 3 prior kids and thinks he knows it all. My baby is 9 months about to be 10. And dad says baby will sleep all night when baby is ready. Please help me bc i know hes wrong.
Hi Bailey, It can be really exhausting when our LO's aren't sleeping well! I would definitely recommend looking into our 21 Days to Peace and Quiet program. You and your husband can do the course together and learn about the benefits of teaching your LO how to fall asleep independently and work on the course together. This could really help! I am linking you to the program below! www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant Best, Alyssa, BSMS Client Support Manager
Hi Crystal! If your little one is in your room, we suggest creating some distance between you and the crib (if possible). This helps so that your LO can't smell, see or hear you as easily. You can book a private consultation for personalized information if you are still struggling.

Heyy!! My baby (7m old) takes 3 naps and although however hard I try, she does take her last 4th nap which is post 6.30-7pm, which pushes her bedtime to 9-10pm. Despite trying my level best, I’m not able to skip her 4th nap. Any advices on how to skip her 4th nap and get her to sleep early by 8-8.30pm? 😓😓😓
Hello! At this age, we would recommend 3 naps consistently and an earlier bedtime. This will really help! We can help you achieve this in our 21 Days program.

Hi, thank you for this video. I tried sleep training my baby but he flips over to his belly and comes to the edge of the crib and starts to scream. he does not know how to turn himself back. I went in his room and turned him back but then he started to do it everytime like every minute. Any suggestions what should I do??
Hi! Babies rolling onto their tummy in the night can be so scary! You don’t need to reposition your baby, unless they're upset. Once a baby is freely rolling back to front, and vice versa, it’s fine to leave them. This means they have the muscle strength to move themselves into comfortable positions and ensures that they can move their head and neck at will. Here’s some info from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rolling over is an important and natural part of your baby’s growth. Most babies start rolling over on their own around 4-6 months of age. If your baby rolls over on her own during sleep, you do not need to turn her back over onto her back. The important thing is that your baby starts every sleep time on her back to reduce the risk of SIDS. And also that there are no soft objects, toys, crib bumpers, or loose bedding under baby, over baby, or anywhere in baby’s sleep area. (source: www.nichd.nih.gov/sts/about/Pages/faq.aspx) * AND NO WEDGES OR POSITIONERS IN BABY’S BED! If baby rolls onto her tummy and gets frustrated because she can’t roll into a more comfortable position, you may need to help her onto her back temporarily. This is normally a very short phase (less than one week.) Give baby lots of open floor time during the day to practice rolling and build strength. Good luck! / Leena, BSMS Support Team
What if im doing all this, baby falls asleep on his own, but wakes up 45 min later, I just give him the pacifier, he falls asleep again, but still wakes up every 2 h during the night? He is 7 months old.. he was a grate sleeper... and usually woke up a maximum of 2 times to eat but I’m sure he doesn’t need to eat every 2 h now...
Hello Katrine, Thanks for your message! It is great that your LO is falling asleep independently. Babies that can fall asleep on their own, but often wake up in the middle of the night or shortly after bedtime are often overtired. Check out our 7 month old sleep guide. There are awake time recommendations inside and following awake times can be extremely helpful for your LO! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team www.babysleepmadesimple.com/7-month-sleep-regression
None of these tips work I already do all of this and my baby still wakes up at night and won’t sleep for 3-4 hours at a time. He’s been doing this for months and will occasionally sleep through the night.
Hello Courtney, Thanks so much for your message! Is your LO falling asleep at the breast? If so, that could be the reason your LO is waking up so often. Nursing to sleep is a sleep association and we really want our LO's to fall asleep independently so that they can STTN. I would highly recommend checking out our sleep program. We teach you step by step how to get your LO to night wean and fall asleep independently. We’re currently having a Spring Sale. This gives you 30 days of personal support with our sleep training program, 21 Days to Peace & Quiet. Jilly walks you through each step and shows you exactly what to do every night. Plus we answer questions 5 days/week inside a private FB group. So you really get all the direction and support you need.

There are several factors in how to get your baby to sleep. One resource I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Calmer Fixer Blueprint (check it out on google) it's the most useful resource i've heard of. look at the great information .
These methods didn’t work for my baby either. He simply had to cry it out. BUT that doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. What helped me the most was making sure my baby ate enough calories during the day for his weight to properly sleep during the night, blackout curtains, white noise, setting a strict nighttime routine (jolly jumper 5-6pm, bath 6-6:30pm, down at 7 when he was rubbing his eyes but still awake) and then sticking to that while I trained him. Hope this helps ❤️
I’m trying to get my 10 month old into her crib from co-sleeping, one of our biggest problems is she wants to nurse back to sleep every time she wakes (often). However, I work overnights 3 to 5 nights a week depending on rotation and she stays with my sister while I work. Not only does she sleep up to 4 hours in the play pen at my sisters, MUCH longer than I’ve ever managed in the crib, but she also will take her pacifier and just go back to sleep. Do you think if I move her crib to her own room this could help? It’s currently in my room at the end of my bed. The gentle method has not been working for us very well but I refuse to just let her scream it out… please help! 😭 Thanks for the tips!
Hi Carrera! Are you currently trying one of our programs? Or, is it another gentle method? At this age many children thrive in their own sleep space and do really well in their own cribs. In our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet program, we go over how to transition out of co-sleeping in lots of detail. I would highly recommend checking it out; here is the link: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/baby-sleep-consultant. Please let us know if you have any additional questions, we would be happy to help!

My baby is 7 months. We are co sleeping and she still has small night feeds. The pediatrician gave us the okay to cut off night feeds at 6 months. I want to start sleep training now! She's teething now, badly..so should I wait? ..also her crib is in my room, should I move it out and begin sleep training, or start with it in my room then once she gets better sleeping through, move her out? Not sure if creating a whole new environment will make it better or worse 🤔
Hi Jamesha, If your baby is teething badly (crying, fussy, not eating well, chewing on everything and restless) then I wouldn't start sleep training. Waiting just 2-3 days can make the process go easier. I recommend you sleep train baby where you want her sleeping long-term, so move her crib into her bedroom when or before you begin. Have her hang out in her bedroom during the day so she can get used to it. I find that babies adapt to switching bedrooms pretty easily. It's more of a big deal for us moms! Having a video monitor can really ease your worries. It sounds like you're ready to begin! I recommend you begin at bedtime. The way that your baby falls asleep at bedtime sets her up to sleep well at night. My free Exhausted Mom's Survival Kit walks you through what to do. You can sign up for it here: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/exhausted-mom-survival-kit Good luck! Jilly

I feel that’s really hard once babies are older (around 1 year) and they stand up in the crib. Might even be dangerous leaving them crying there alone as they might try to climb out…
Hi Alessandra, It is definitely an added challenge when our babies start to get taller! However, sleep sacks can be VERY helpful. Not only does it keep babies warm all night long (in a safe way), but it can be a deterrent for climbing out of the crib. We have helped train hundreds of babies over 1 year of age and the majority don't try to climb out! Best, Alyssa, BSMS Team
My 6 month old sleeps great but wants an 11pm and 4am bottle 🤷🏻♀️ I can give him a pacifier but that last for s few min then he cries for a bottle! He eats and zonks right back out 🤷🏻♀️ so I feed him so I can sleep He goes to bed at 7:30 and I put him in the crib and he puts himself to sleep! He wakes up around 7am happy as a clam But at 11pm and 4am it’s hysterics -

Yes teething can often disrupt sleep. Soak a washcloth in chamomile tea, then freeze it. Allow baby to suck on the washcloth at bedtime. The cold numbs the pain and the chamomile reduces inflammation. Or, of course, a cold teething toy works well too. Good luck!
My 12 month old screams bloody murder even if i rock her and walk around the house with her. She will just keep screaming until she can nurse. I start to feel guilty like what if she is actually hungry or thirsty. I've tried the pick up, put down and just laying her back down without picking her up. She just keeps screaming

This is hard on parents that both work and have opposite schedules. If i put my baby to bed by 8 pm....he will be awake around 6 am.. when my husband has just gone to sleep and when I am getting ready for work.
Yes having parents on opposite schedules takes some customizing. Most parents want a bedtime that will help their baby sleep as well as possible overnight, and typically earlier bedtimes do this. But you can certainly try a later bedtime if that works better for your schedules. I hope it does! All the best, Jilly

This sucks for me I work til 7 pm and by the time I get bathed and her down it's 830 but I have no control of it but i will work more on a routine better
That is so difficult. You can always do a shorter routine. Can someone else help you so that she is fed before you get her? This would help to shorten the routine :) Clare, BSMS Support Team
My 8 mo old has been sleep trained since 2 mo old we were co sleeping up until 7mo he went back to his bed. He has no problem going to bed at his normal bedtime which is 8:30pm and he would wake up every morning around 7am. He has a good dinner at 7pm followed by a 6oz bottle with cereal. Normally that would get him through the night and he would sleep straight through until 7am. But since he turned 8mo old on Aug 13 he is waking up every 4 hours wanting a bottle of formula. I tried replacing it with water but that doesn't work he has a fit. What can I do?
Hello! Why would you replace the formula with water? I think your baby is having a growth spurt and needs to eat more to get through the night, don't worry too much about it. I would give him the first bottle around midnight and then give him his pacifier until 7 or 8 am.
He doesn't take a pacifie he's not. a pacifier baby he hates pacifiers and if I give him a bottle at 12am he wakes up wanting another one at 3am and then another bottle when he wakes up at 7am his normal time He just started this when he turned 8mo on Aug 13. I understand he may be going thru a growth spurt but there has to be other options right?
@@tammytherealistdtb1070 hi, no worries there is no such a thing as an overweight baby so I would advise you feed on demand because they go through growhh spurt and you want to make sure he gets all the nutrients he needs. Feed him when he's hungry and don't worry about his weight. If it's once or twice a night I think its reasonable. I know many people try to make baby stop feeding early for convenience sake but I personally don't think its good for them to be hungry. Good luck xx
@@tammytherealistdtb1070 hehe i feel you! i think you might give him one bottle and let him cry for the second one at 3 am...don't worry too much about it you will figure it out :)

Same!!
Thanks for your videos! I just knew your channel. And it’s very helpful. I have 7 month old and sleep is disastrous. To start, we have bedtime routine but it’s always a disaster because he starts to cry in bath, then to putting on clothes, still fussy and crying. Then i feed him to sleep but needs pacifier afterwards. Then he wakes up at 10pm, 11pm, 1am, 3am, 5am, 6am. I feed him every time he wakes up because this is the only way he knows how to sleep. I’m very very tired already. 😢

The most helpful video ever. Something I can actually do
Thank you! We are so glad that you found it helpful! :) Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
When I fist started sleep training last week I would go in and pat my son on the back. He was comforted by this and would relax and go back to sleep. But after a week his response changed. Now he gets so mad if I didn't pick him up. So I stopped going in. I seems to upset him more. So not I'm not going in at all. He cries but seems to go back to bed. I hope he's ok and the crying gets less and less. Thanks for your videos. Love them!

It’s a great video with great advice. I’m just wondering if I can use these techniques with baby with severe reflux? As I have to keep him upright for at least half an hour and can never put him to bed drowsy
Hello, You can definitely still apply these techniques to your LO with reflux. You just have to modify a bit! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
I did this with my reflux baby but I modified it to what he needed. He is a very assertive baby and does not cry unless he is upset rather than hungry, scared, etc so I had to do the cry it out method. I waited until his vomiting turned into spit ups at 4 months and I especially made sure he ate enough during the day. As a reflux baby it’s important to make sure they are eating enough calories for their weight in order to sleep at night. My baby is very tall and heavy for his age. 18lbs and 26.4 inches at 4 months old so he needs the calories of a 6 month old during the day (with the exception of maybe 1-2 feedings at night) in order to feel fully satiated so that he can sleep through the night. I hope this helps.
This was so helpful, thank you!
Happy to help!

If I reduce the amount of time for nightfeedings, lets say from 10 to 5 minutes, wont the baby wake up more often to nurse because she wasnt full after the first nightfeed?
Hello! You will want it to be a slow process. You can work on gradually reducing the night feeds, but then you need to compensate and get your LO to eat more during the day (reducing calories at night, but increasing during the day). You can also check out our step by step night weaning guide here! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
www.babysleepmadesimple.com/weaning-night-feedings
Hi! First of all thank you for this video, it came in a time of great need for us. My baby is 6 months old and currently co sleeping with me in the bed. He has short feedings during the night almost every hour and, even though I'm exhausted, I don't mind it that much, but I'm concerned about the fact that he seems to be tired all the time now. My husband insisted on trying the Ferber method - I'm kind of against it - but it failed on our fist try. Our baby never sleeps on his tummy and, even though he mastered rolling over from back to tummy very early on, he seems to get stuck when he's on his tummy and, as a result, cries uncontrollably. I'm not comfortable with doing the Ferber method knowing he can't chose a sleeping position to his liking. What do you advise us to do? I want to give the gentle method described in the video a try, but when I pick my baby up and he's crying, he starts searching for my breast and gets even more upset if I don't offer it to him. - I'd like to wean him from night feedings because I'm pretty sure nursing is a sleep association for him, as he's eating well during the day and is quite chunky. Thank you!!
At 6 months your baby can learn the skill of settling himself to sleep. When he can fall asleep on his own at bedtime, he'll be able to resettle himself any time he stirs during the night (without needing to nurse.)
Sleeping longer stretches will help him and you not be so tired during the day. (Plus it helps babies eat better during the day too. )
You don't have to do Ferber. There are MANY ways to teach babies to self-settle.
I recommend starting with my Exhausted Mom's Survival Kit. This is where I walk you through exactly what to do to help your baby settle easier and sleep longer. You can sign up for it here: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/exhausted-moms-survival-kit
After you've gone through the kit and are doing the steps, we work on getting baby falling asleep on his own. After the age of 5 months, babies DO have this ability. We just have to guide them.
I help parents do this everyday in my program, 21 Days to Peace & Quiet: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/21-days-to-peace-quiet-program
It's definitely possible to get your little guy sleeping better. Check out the above links and let me know if you have any questions.

My 8 month old baby who is used to co-sleeping and breastfeeding.
We are trying to get him to fall asleep on his own in his own bed, but the problem is that he always sits up on his own immediately when i lay him down. How best to tackle it?
Hello Maria!
Thanks so much for reaching out to us. Teaching your LO to fall asleep on his own is definitely the best way to help ensure he learns to sleep throughout the night independently. This is a wonderful and vital skill! I would give your LO lots of sitting practice time during the day. Sometimes though, it can be helpful to just give your LO space to lay himself down in the middle of the night.
In our 21 Days to Peace and Quiet program, we help parents conquer sleep training step by step. We would love to support your family too!

Hi Bailey,
It can be really exhausting when our LO's aren't sleeping well! I would definitely recommend looking into our 21 Days to Peace and Quiet program. You and your husband can do the course together and learn about the benefits of teaching your LO how to fall asleep independently and work on the course together. This could really help!

What if our baby’s bed is in our room? What do you suggest to do for night weaning?
Hi Crystal! If your little one is in your room, we suggest creating some distance between you and the crib (if possible). This helps so that your LO can't smell, see or hear you as easily.
You can book a private consultation for personalized information if you are still struggling. Found here: programs.babysleepmadesimple.com/30-minutes-private-consultation-checkout/

Heyy!!
My baby (7m old) takes 3 naps and although however hard I try, she does take her last 4th nap which is post 6.30-7pm, which pushes her bedtime to 9-10pm. Despite trying my level best, I’m not able to skip her 4th nap.
Any advices on how to skip her 4th nap and get her to sleep early by 8-8.30pm? 😓😓😓
Hello!
At this age, we would recommend 3 naps consistently and an earlier bedtime. This will really help! We can help you achieve this in our 21 Days program.

Hi, thank you for this video. I tried sleep training my baby but he flips over to his belly and comes to the edge of the crib and starts to scream. he does not know how to turn himself back. I went in his room and turned him back but then he started to do it everytime like every minute. Any suggestions what should I do??
Hi! Babies rolling onto their tummy in the night can be so scary! You don’t need to reposition your baby, unless they're upset. Once a baby is freely rolling back to front, and vice versa, it’s fine to leave them. This means they have the muscle strength to move themselves into comfortable positions and ensures that they can move their head and neck at will.
Here’s some info from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Rolling over is an important and natural part of your baby’s growth. Most babies start rolling over on their own around 4-6 months of age. If your baby rolls over on her own during sleep, you do not need to turn her back over onto her back.
The important thing is that your baby starts every sleep time on her back to reduce the risk of SIDS. And also that there are no soft objects, toys, crib bumpers, or loose bedding under baby, over baby, or anywhere in baby’s sleep area.
(source: www.nichd.nih.gov/sts/about/Pages/faq.aspx)
* AND NO WEDGES OR POSITIONERS IN BABY’S BED!
If baby rolls onto her tummy and gets frustrated because she can’t roll into a more comfortable position, you may need to help her onto her back temporarily.
This is normally a very short phase (less than one week.) Give baby lots of open floor time during the day to practice rolling and build strength.
Good luck! / Leena, BSMS Support Team
@@Babysleepmadesimple Thank you so much
What if im doing all this, baby falls asleep on his own, but wakes up 45 min later, I just give him the pacifier, he falls asleep again, but still wakes up every 2 h during the night? He is 7 months old.. he was a grate sleeper... and usually woke up a maximum of 2 times to eat but I’m sure he doesn’t need to eat every 2 h now...
Hello Katrine,
Thanks for your message! It is great that your LO is falling asleep independently. Babies that can fall asleep on their own, but often wake up in the middle of the night or shortly after bedtime are often overtired. Check out our 7 month old sleep guide. There are awake time recommendations inside and following awake times can be extremely helpful for your LO! Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
www.babysleepmadesimple.com/7-month-sleep-regression
None of these tips work I already do all of this and my baby still wakes up at night and won’t sleep for 3-4 hours at a time. He’s been doing this for months and will occasionally sleep through the night.
Hello Courtney, Thanks so much for your message! Is your LO falling asleep at the breast? If so, that could be the reason your LO is waking up so often. Nursing to sleep is a sleep association and we really want our LO's to fall asleep independently so that they can STTN. I would highly recommend checking out our sleep program. We teach you step by step how to get your LO to night wean and fall asleep independently. We’re currently having a Spring Sale. This gives you 30 days of personal support with our sleep training program, 21 Days to Peace & Quiet. Jilly walks you through each step and shows you exactly what to do every night.

There are several factors in how to get your baby to sleep. One resource I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Calmer Fixer Blueprint (check it out on google) it's the most useful resource i've heard of. look at the great information .
These methods didn’t work for my baby either. He simply had to cry it out. BUT that doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. What helped me the most was making sure my baby ate enough calories during the day for his weight to properly sleep during the night, blackout curtains, white noise, setting a strict nighttime routine (jolly jumper 5-6pm, bath 6-6:30pm, down at 7 when he was rubbing his eyes but still awake) and then sticking to that while I trained him. Hope this helps ❤️
I’m trying to get my 10 month old into her crib from co-sleeping, one of our biggest problems is she wants to nurse back to sleep every time she wakes (often). However, I work overnights 3 to 5 nights a week depending on rotation and she stays with my sister while I work. Not only does she sleep up to 4 hours in the play pen at my sisters, MUCH longer than I’ve ever managed in the crib, but she also will take her pacifier and just go back to sleep. Do you think if I move her crib to her own room this could help? It’s currently in my room at the end of my bed. The gentle method has not been working for us very well but I refuse to just let her scream it out… please help! 😭
Thanks for the tips!
Hi Carrera! Are you currently trying one of our programs? Or, is it another gentle method? At this age many children thrive in their own sleep space and do really well in their own cribs. In our 21 Days to Peace & Quiet program, we go over how to transition out of co-sleeping in lots of detail.

My baby is 7 months. We are co sleeping and she still has small night feeds. The pediatrician gave us the okay to cut off night feeds at 6 months. I want to start sleep training now! She's teething now, badly..so should I wait? ..also her crib is in my room, should I move it out and begin sleep training, or start with it in my room then once she gets better sleeping through, move her out? Not sure if creating a whole new environment will make it better or worse 🤔
Hi Jamesha,
If your baby is teething badly (crying, fussy, not eating well, chewing on everything and restless) then I wouldn't start sleep training. Waiting just 2-3 days can make the process go easier.
I recommend you sleep train baby where you want her sleeping long-term, so move her crib into her bedroom when or before you begin.
Have her hang out in her bedroom during the day so she can get used to it. I find that babies adapt to switching bedrooms pretty easily. It's more of a big deal for us moms! Having a video monitor can really ease your worries.
It sounds like you're ready to begin!
I recommend you begin at bedtime. The way that your baby falls asleep at bedtime sets her up to sleep well at night.

I feel that’s really hard once babies are older (around 1 year) and they stand up in the crib. Might even be dangerous leaving them crying there alone as they might try to climb out…
Hi Alessandra,
It is definitely an added challenge when our babies start to get taller! However, sleep sacks can be VERY helpful. Not only does it keep babies warm all night long (in a safe way), but it can be a deterrent for climbing out of the crib. We have helped train hundreds of babies over 1 year of age and the majority don't try to climb out!

My 6 month old sleeps great but wants an 11pm and 4am bottle 🤷🏻♀️ I can give him a pacifier but that last for s few min then he cries for a bottle!
He eats and zonks right back out 🤷🏻♀️ so I feed him so I can sleep
He goes to bed at 7:30 and I put him in the crib and he puts himself to sleep! He wakes up around 7am happy as a clam
But at 11pm and 4am it’s hysterics -

This video helps a lot. I have a 11 months old baby and he is not sleeping very well lately, I think is about the teeths...
Yes teething can often disrupt sleep. Soak a washcloth in chamomile tea, then freeze it. Allow baby to suck on the washcloth at bedtime. The cold numbs the pain and the chamomile reduces inflammation. Or, of course, a cold teething toy works well too. Good luck!
Thanks a lot! I'll try the washcloth in chamomile tea tonight :)
My 12 month old screams bloody murder even if i rock her and walk around the house with her. She will just keep screaming until she can nurse. I start to feel guilty like what if she is actually hungry or thirsty. I've tried the pick up, put down and just laying her back down without picking her up. She just keeps screaming

This is hard on parents that both work and have opposite schedules. If i put my baby to bed by 8 pm....he will be awake around 6 am.. when my husband has just gone to sleep and when I am getting ready for work.
Yes having parents on opposite schedules takes some customizing. Most parents want a bedtime that will help their baby sleep as well as possible overnight, and typically earlier bedtimes do this.
But you can certainly try a later bedtime if that works better for your schedules. I hope it does!
All the best,

This sucks for me I work til 7 pm and by the time I get bathed and her down it's 830 but I have no control of it but i will work more on a routine better
That is so difficult. You can always do a shorter routine. Can someone else help you so that she is fed before you get her? This would help to shorten the routine :)

My 8 mo old has been sleep trained since 2 mo old we were co sleeping up until 7mo he went back to his bed. He has no problem going to bed at his normal bedtime which is 8:30pm and he would wake up every morning around 7am. He has a good dinner at 7pm followed by a 6oz bottle with cereal. Normally that would get him through the night and he would sleep straight through until 7am. But since he turned 8mo old on Aug 13 he is waking up every 4 hours wanting a bottle of formula. I tried replacing it with water but that doesn't work he has a fit. What can I do?
Hello! Why would you replace the formula with water? I think your baby is having a growth spurt and needs to eat more to get through the night, don't worry too much about it. I would give him the first bottle around midnight and then give him his pacifier until 7 or 8 am.
He doesn't take a pacifie he's not. a pacifier baby he hates pacifiers and if I give him a bottle at 12am he wakes up wanting another one at 3am and then another bottle when he wakes up at 7am his normal time He just started this when he turned 8mo on Aug 13. I understand he may be going thru a growth spurt but there has to be other options right?
I'm a first time mom and I'm just trying to find other options so my baby won't be overweight.
@@tammytherealistdtb1070 hi, no worries there is no such a thing as an overweight baby so I would advise you feed on demand because they go through growhh spurt and you want to make sure he gets all the nutrients he needs. Feed him when he's hungry and don't worry about his weight. If it's once or twice a night I think its reasonable. I know many people try to make baby stop feeding early for convenience sake but I personally don't think its good for them to be hungry. Good luck xx
@@tammytherealistdtb1070 hehe i feel you! i think you might give him one bottle and let him cry for the second one at 3 am...don't worry too much about it you will figure it out :)
I start To night ... my baby 5 month sleep while breastfeeding... and cry when i try to put ton in the crib😔😭
