Experiences with 90 minute schedules??

Question

Please tell me your experiences with a baby sleep schedule, good or bad! How did you start it and figure out how to stick with it when baby is all over the place and just not learning your schedule?
I've read so much about using a 90 min sleep schedule to get baby to nap consistently, following "eat, play, sleep" but I've never been able to actually implement it. My baby either just doesn't seem tired at the 90 minute mark and won't go to sleep, or I can't get him through a feeding because he keeps falling asleep. Then 90 mins is up and he's tired AND hungry.

Are there other baby schedules out there? What is your experience with any of them? Naps are a constant battle and my LO starts daycare soon :(

Answer

I wish my kid would stay awake for 90 mins! He stays awake an hour to the minute and then fusses

Answer

I started yesterday and haven't seen a positive change yet but I guess it might take a few days. Following to hear others' experiences!

Answer

I started the 90 min sleep cycle a few weeks ago. My son would be up for 4 hours at a time and would have a complete melt down for 40+mins. I started introducing the 90 min schedule and it helps but I still have a fussy baby but not a screaming baby for 40 mins lol the minute he wakes up you start the 90 mins. I usually do eat, play, eat sleep. Usually after the 60 min mark i start to wind him down. My son needs help falling asleep so I will have to rock him, swing him, put him in the rock n play, his vibrating lounger, stroller walk or car seat. I guess you have a 10-15 min period to still get them to sleep if you miss the 90 mins. Also if your child starts to show sleepy signals start to wind them down then. If you miss the 90 min mark they say you start the 90 min cycle again. Today my son was up for 2 hours twice today and fell asleep fine.

Answer

My little one has just started to do this. He wakes up hungry so I feed him. Then I play with him for the rest of the hour and half them put him in his swing or bouncer to see if he falls asleep. He almost always goes down and it's getting longer and longer. Sleeping through the night on the other hand we are still very far from 😩
