Did you sleep train your child?

Question

Did you sleep train your baby or child? If so when did you start?

Answer

We did at 13 months. Wish we did waaaaaaay sooner.

Answer

For the most part, no. He did it himself before he was 3 months old. His pediatrician said to get on a feeding schedule and 4 hours before bedtime, feed the baby. Then 2 hours after that feeding, feed again, then 2 hours later, which will be bedtime, feed again. After 4 hours of sleep, another feeding. And then again 4 hours later. Then go every 3 hours throughout the day until 4 hours before bedtime again. Then at 2 months, cut the middle of the night feeding. By 6 months, he said baby should rarely wake up for a middle of the night bottle.

Answer

We've always had a pretty great sleeper but after multiple colds and a vacation at 6 months he wound up in our bed a lot, and no one - not even the baby - was getting any sleep. He always would start in his own bed and wind up with us in the early hours of the morning. By 7.5 months we'd had enough so we decided to do some gentle sleep training. He could already fall asleep on his own for naps and at bedtime, so when he woke up in the middle of the night expecting to come in with us I would feed him and then we would take turns sitting by the crib holding his hand and gently talking or singing until he fell back to sleep. It was a few rough nights of being up with him for hours but thankfully he's back sleeping through the night 11-12 hours on his own.

Answer

@birth and she's 8 months doing pretty good

Answer

We moved my daughter to her crib in her own room at 4.5 months - that was the first training, plus letting her fall asleep on her own. But with leaps n regressions n such it seemed like we had to retrain her a few times. 
She slept with her pacy until it became a problem and I took it from her at 13 months, plus all feedings at night.
So she has been sleeping 6-6:30pm to 7am since she was 13 months.

Answer

Started at 2 months. She actually started it herself. Bed by 9:30/10 pm, sleep through the night, than wake up either 8:30/9 or 9:30, sometimes earlier.

Answer

Yes @ 6.5 months

Answer

Yes, when he turned 6 months. Tried at 5 months but it never worked.

Answer

Yes, gently at 4 months, not extremely strict until 6 months.

Answer

We started my 16 month old on a routine at like 4wks old. Always in bed before 8pm. She had 2 wake ups when she was hungry then I started waking her up when I got home from work at 2a for a feeding only and then eventually no more wake ups. She sleeps 12hrs a night. Hoping our newborn is the same. I've already started by putting him to bed at 8p as well he's only 9 days old soits not really working yet lol.
