What if your baby fusses with hands in and out of mouth and that's waking them up?
Ok, so I let my baby cry for 5 minutes, then go and just “pet him” saying “you are ok”. No pick him up. Just leave him crying there again. Hello no…
What to do with daytime naps?
This video is unclear.. you need to describe the different methods… The only message I'm getting: here are all these benefits and then the consequences can be terrible, like the Romanian orphanage… The structure of the video does not make sense to me. 😢
Can we start sleep training in the bassinet next to us in the same room?
Also our baby uses a binky to fall asleep should we slowly get rid of that? She will be 4months in a couple days.
Thank you!
Will this work for my 15 month old? She breastfeeds to sleep and also cosleeps currently. She wakes every hour or two to breastfeed. I’m so exhausted. She has a crib in our room, we don’t have a bedroom for her so she’s stuck in our room until we can move.
33:34 you know they are such a good couple when Kurt scratches his eyes and within seconds, Sarah did it too.
Does this apply to naps as well, or can we do only night time. We are having trouble with him waking up after we put him to sleep at night. I basically wait till he is asleep so I can put him down, and his naps work great and will sleep for 1.5 hours but at night, he will sometimes wake up and we will do the training but it still takes him 2 hours to go back. I feel like if I do the training for his naps he would never sleep all day. I need help
Such An Amazing Video! ✨
I have lots of Newborn Baby tips on my channel & I really enjoyed this video!
Thanks for making this & I just subbed! 🍼
Thanks so much for this. You saved me ❤
Trying this tonight with my 16 month old twins. Any suggestions with twins I’m not sure if I should put them in seperate rooms.
As a father I use the white noise ❤️

What if the baby uses the pacifier? Should i drop it before sleep training?
Am leaving soon to go bk to work at sea and am nervous leaving my 5 month old with my mom he dnt sleep at night str888 he wake 3 times at night.
Thank you guys
Should this be done for daytime naps too or is this only for overnight sleep? My 7.5 month old currently has 3 30 minute naps a day but I’ve read the first 2 naps should be about 1 hour long each
Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you! This video gave me the confidence to let my 6 month old cry. With all of the research you shared, I felt like this was the right thing to try. We were waking up every hour. Sometimes every 10 minutes just for my baby to hold my hand.
Night 1: cried 5 minutes, check in was so upset I wasn’t sure this would work at all. 3 minutes into the 10 minute set he was asleep and stayed asleep for 12 hours!
Night 2: he cried a few minutes longer, but still went right to sleep and slept for 12 hours!
Night 3: there was barely any crying. Only 3 minutes total. Slept 12 hours!
Night 4: no crying!! I laid him down, said good night. He looked around about 3 minutes, then fell asleep! We are back to being happy during the day! Everyone is so happy again! Thank you sooooo much!!!
We tried sleep training 8 days ago and we have accurate wake windows and a consistent bedtime routine. She sleeps longer through the night but still cries for 30 minutes when put down to sleep and she is anxious as soon as we go upstairs to start the routine like as soon as she knows it’s coming she starts crying and freaking out a bit. What do we do? How can we put her at ease and stop the initial 30 min of crying?
Thank you so much for this video! How many months was your baby when she started sleeping in her own room?
I have a baby 4 month old and I start sleep training whit him but the problem the pacifier so can I just let him cry without the pacifier ? Thank u !
Thank you for the detailed explanation. My baby used to sleep uninterrupted for 6 to 9 hours. Then at 5 months old he would wake up every time I put him in crib and wakes up every 1 to 2 hours to breastfeed..I want. To try sleep training. What should I do about the night feeds? Should I first try to cut them down to only 2 night feeds.. because I don't want him to all of a sudden starve
Omg thank you so much for suggesting to keep a routine and let your baby sleep 7-8pm. She sleeps so much better and it keeps my sanity intact! ❤❤❤

This is the worst advice ever about cry it out method. I am a psychologist and it is well known now that this method isn’t helpful for baby development. If the baby isn’t soothed when he is crying and is left on it’s own his sympathetic nervous system is activated and he goes in the freeze. This can lead to high anxiety and other mental illnesses later in life. BABIES CANNOT SOOTH THEMSELVES! They need to understand that you will be there for them when they cry and develop healthy attachment style.
Thank you ❤ it worked in one night! But my infant is now a toddler and training is loosing its power! Do you have any tips on how did you maintain the sleep training over time and any tips for toddler re-training?
Does this work for a month old ??
Is it okay to try this method with a 2 week old baby?
Hi doctors,
If the baby is calm and just talking to themselves in the cot (not crying), do you still need to come in to comfort them? Because baby can take about 20-30 minutes of self-talking to fall asleep.
Thank you
Sleep training= teaching babies parents aren't coming no matter what do might as well be quiet. No wonder so many Americans h have mental health issues
My baby is almost 6 months he eats every 2-3 hrs during the day and nurses to sleep every wake up at night. He is usually up from 12-2 then tries to wake up at 4am. It’s been pure hell. So I have to work on not nursing him back to sleep before I Ferber? I can’t stop crying thinking about it
How old should baby be to do this method? I have an 11week old that still needs to feed at night? Should we not give bottle at all?
Do you recommend cutting out the pacifier during sleep training? Do you think it would get in the way?
Is it safe to let your baby cry to sleep 😮. Is it even advisable. What if something is wrong they could be hot 🥵 or cold 🥶 it could be anything
We followed this video’s guidelines and we are so happy with the result!
Up until 8 months I absolutely loved cosleeping with her but my and her needs changed. The first few nights we had to set the timer to three 15 minute mark a few times, but less than a week later and she is asleep for 11-12 hrs in her crib at night and et have our evenings again!
My 9 month old nurses to sleep and has separation anxiety. We tried following these steps (with gradual weaning from nursing and putting him in the crib awake). The first night took an hour and he slept over 8 hours in a row. The second took 40 mins with only a bit of crying. We’ll keep at it but such an improvement! Thank you!
How old was she when you started sleep training?😊
my English is not so good…can u guys plz make a vedio with English subtitle plz ive a 5month bby boy im new mom i don’t know how to fix his sleeping time..
I know you are trying to help mothers but im a dad with a wife who is a night nurse so yeah i have to deal with her every night. I have a 4 month old baby who had NEVER slept on her own. She never wants to lie on her back and she's never slept in her own crib.
I need help
Do you recommend the same tips when they have a sleep regression when they are toddlers? Mine is having one at 1.5 yrs.
What advice do you have for single parents who share a room with their child?
My son is 10 month's old. 28lbs and he currently wakes up twice in the night but is awake and crying for about 20-30 mins. He will drink an ounce of a bottle then go back to sleep. But i am extremely exhausted.
watch at 1.75x you're welcome
Listened to y'all my entire pregnancy.. Can't believe I am back here now that my son is one year old.. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I wonder what kind of crying are we taking about here? Because when my son cries, he cries as if he cannot breathe and it only gets worse and worse, so it’s really hard for me to really know if he is ok.
Thank you very much ❤
