Sleep training - who’s doing it and how?

Question

So it’s been yet another night of being woken up every hour or two and I can’t do this anymore!
Sleep training must happen.
How’d you all sleep train your babies? What method/books did you use? All advice and recommendations welcome!

Answer

I did modified of takingcarababies but i fully believe it crying it out. Teaching a baby to self sooth is one of the best things you can do for your baby and it’s sucks big time but your baby will be so much happier sleeping 10-12 hrs straight! With the plan I did you are supposed to pop in after 5 -10 and then every 15 min but I stopped doing pop ins because it made her more mad haha as soon as I warned her off the night feedings (which took 4 nights) she has been sleeping almost 12 hrs a night since!

Answer

I am with you, we have a vacation with baby next week so I Plan to start after, but I have had a few really rough nights where baby only wants to sleep while being held and wakes crying every time I set him down. I finally reached my max capacity and let him cry. He sleeps next to me (docAtot), I was in bed next to him but let him cry himself to sleep, and he slept in much better than he has in months. Then the next night I was able to leave his side while he was still awake and he went to sleep without any crying, and when he woke to feed he would let me put him back in his bed awake.  I never thought he would do this well without a huge battle (it was just one night so far!) which I think is encouraging. Go into it with a plan and you may be surprised!!

Answer

Sleep trained around 11 weeks. I used takingcarababies. Best thing I ever did. My son is now 6.5 months old and has been an amazing sleeper ever since. Like 10-11 hrs per night. Never hit a sleep regression or anything. Woke up once per night at like 3am for a few nights before his first tooth popped but that’s it.

Answer

Same boat...wakes up every 2 hours. Gonne get some courage and sleep train him soon. Do we do this during nap time too? I did the modified version coupled weeks back and was successful at night but when we tried it with his naps it was impossible...gonna follow see if there are more tips. 😁

Answer

I'm not sleep training yet, but I feel you. My son wakes up every hour! I will be starting in 2 weeks when my family staying with us leaves to go back home though. Not sure what method were doing but it needs to be done!

Answer

We just finished sleep training. My son was such a good sleeper from 2 months until 3 weeks ago. Then he was up every 2 hours full on screaming and wanting food. We used Ferber method after reading the book. Took 2 nights and he is awesome for naps and bedtime. On night 6 and sofar still good.

Answer

I used sleepsense.

Answer

Full extinction at just under five months. There were a few rough nights (the worst were four or five days after we started during an extinction burst) but things have been generally smooth since then.

Answer

I read sleep sense! It was amazing! I modified Ferber, and did my own thing. It worked for us, he loves his crib, only wakes up once at night (which I’m ok with) and his naps have steadily lengthened
