Have you had success with sleep training?

Question

My baby girl sleeps from 8-1 and then she’s up every 1.5-2 hours, and then around 6 she’s completely up. I’m so exhausted!!! Has anyone had any success with sleep training? What worked for you?

Answer

This video helped me figure it out! We have been doing it a week and it’s working well! :)

Answer

Yes! I have used the Babywise method with both of my children with great success. My first slept through the night at 6 weeks and quickly worked her way up to 12 hour stretches by 3.5 months or so. She is 2.5 and still self soothes to sleep with little crying and is a good napper and sleeps 10-12 hours at night. I never really had any issues with sleep regressions with her. My second slept through the night about 7 weeks and started doing 10-12 hour stretches around 3.5-4 months. She’s had a little more difficulty not waking over night for the pacifier or an occasional feeding than my first. But by and large she’s a great napper and sleeper! I highly recommend Babywise, though from what I can tell, it’s not necessarily for every family

Answer

My baby girl has this exact same schedule!! We’re starting to sleep train this week. Good luck!! 🙏🏼😴

Answer

Yup! We did cry it out. It was brutal (for us - he was happy and well rested the next day). Five. Hours. But it’s been pretty awesome since then and we’re all getting a lot more sleep.
I would say that I tried gentler methods, but every soothing method that wasn’t nursing him In our bed just made him cry harder. This was the last resort of a desperate woman.

Answer

We did Ferber. He self settles now for naps and bedtime all in his own crib. He wakes 1-2 times for a feed at night.
