Best sleep training books?

Question

My son used to sleep 930 to 7 or 730 then nap 1 to 3. The past few weeks maybe months it’s gotten all messed up I don’t know if it’s from teething or regression but I can’t get him to bed until 11 or 12 sometimes and he’ll wake up between 3 and 5 am. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer

He’s likely overtired, which causes poor sleep. I would try an earlier bedtime around 7-8pm. Stick to a bedtime routine and then try CIO. I always verbalized my actions as we went through the routine, and now she’s the one that tells me what’s next (read, song, blanket, white noise, and lights off). I did CIO around 13 months and it only took a few nights of training. She went from waking up every two hours to sleeping 11-12 hours straight each night. I never let her go past 8:30pm bedtime and she usually wakes at 7:30. If she wakes up before 6 I just ignore her and she usually goes back down on her own. For some reason, a later bedtime usually equals an earlier wake up time 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

We did the Ferber method and followed it EXACTLY like it says and she cried HARD for the first half hour the first night, but we stuck with it and she's been sleep trained since. Of course some nights are still rough where she doesn't want to sleep or whatever but for the most part, we have no issues. She has been sleep trained since 6 months.

Answer

I personally use Moms on Call. It’s extinction method, so you put them in their room at bedtime and don’t go back in until morning (7am). It takes 2-3 nights but it works as long as you’re consistent. I know some people don’t agree with that method but I swear by it!
