- Okay, we finally started! We reached the point where we just had to start some kind of sleep training, so here's what we've been doing lately and how Jackson's been handling it. This is what I'd consider a modified version of the cry it out method, so I hope it helps if you're also experiencing sleep issues with your little ones! xoxox, Kayla

I love that you go into so much detail with nap times, what you were doing before vs now, etc. Really helps me understand baby sleep
My baby girl is 4 months & going through a sleep regression everyone is telling me to start sleep training so I'm doing research n will start soon but omg this is the hardest thing ever as a mom I know I'm going to cry 😩 but I know it's better for them in the long run
God it’s incredible that you’re doing the cry it out method I could never do it with my daughter who was also a terrible sleeper. I know it’s what works the best but I literally could not handle it. It also makes me so sad the way he clutches on to you after finally being picked up! I know these days are so hard and seem endless but there will be a light at the end of the tunnel soon!
And to all the people saying he wants to roll over, newborns may WANT to roll over but sleeping flat in their backs is literally the safest way to sleep for them and decreases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Look it up
He is old enough to roll to his belly and sleep on his belly... prior to the merlin suit he was struggling with sleep so they just started using the snoo and its working for him right now.. but it is safe for babies to belly sleep if they are able to roll onto their bellys by themselves.
He's not a newborn
Just because you didnt sleep train doesnt mean you should shame her for it :) her son is safe and loved.. and she is a better mom when she is well rested! As moms we do what we think is best for our own children.
SIDS is mainly caused by vaccinations.
Crystal Edkins in no way did I shame her the first thing I said it was incredible she did it 🙄🙄 I tried for only 1 night when my daughter was a 5 monther and I couldn’t that was my point. God you can’t even say cool you did that I was never able to on these comments that’s why I hate commenting.
One of the most honest video I've come across with sleep training. Great job mama!
For everyone who commented on loosing the suit - it is very difficult for a baby to sleep without feeling “contained” and it looks like the merlin suit is helping with that after growing out of swaddling. I haven’t found any good sleep suit / sleep solution that allows the baby to move as well as provide this cosy “envelope” they crave for. Blankets move and can cover their faces, sleeping bags and sleep suits stop them from moving to get comfortable and standard pijamas are not warm enough and they feel too loose. We are in great need of a new invention for baby sleeping!!
I did the exact things like u did, but i also started to put him down when he was still awake (close to sleep) from when he was 7 weeks old. He was able to do 10hour stretches by the time he was 4 months old, but i did dream-feed at 22h, when i woke him up (i did it as in book the contented little baby by gina ford) and then at 4-month sleep regression I did the method as you did (this has helped us to go through the phase when he regrrssed a bit-luckily thing got great by the 5month mark and from 6and a half he ha been sleeping though the night without dream feed.
Now what was really helping was also that if he had a night when he woke up, i offered him just very small amount of the milk from the bottle (about 60ml-2ounces) just so that it helped him go back to sleep and not turning the into the habit of eating at 3-4am. But if he woke up after 5pm, i just did the whole feed. Anyway, the book explains it very well, and I am a firm believer that my son is such a good sleeper now because of it (he is 10,5months old now and has been still sleeping 10-11hours at night without wakings)
So proud of Jackson! Your such a great mom Kayla. Thank you so much for all the advice. 💕
we had this problem with my son too!! he is 3 months old and we got him the gripe water for night time. it has chamomile in it to help him sleep more comfortably, which helps him sleep a little longer. has has always woken up once or twice to eat but now we arent getting up every 15 minutes to calm him down 😊

Amazing Kayla! Great job!!! Struggling with my 4 month old in the exact same way and your video gives me hope that there is sleep in the near future.
This was so helpful. My girl is 4 months. Very similar. Rocks to nap/ sleep. Only short naps unless I help her connect these sleep cycles. Up a lot at night. And we have all the same products. Hatch. Merlin suit etc. and I’m so excited to try this lighter cry it out with her. Thanks lady !!!
When I was a baby loooong ago before things like a Snoo, I cried whenever my mobile stopped moving, so my Mom tied a string to my mobile and tied the other end to her toe in bed, whenever I cried she wiggled her toe. Ha. But, one time, I wouldn't stop crying and she came in and saw the mobile hand been pulled down onto me! Mom's do what Mom's gotta do to get some sleep. I co-slept with both my kids. They are all grown now and sleep fine - I meanwhile, have horrible insomnia all my adult life. The sleep struggles are real.
How does co sleeping work??
@@ozzibear They slept in our bed with us. It can be unsafe I think, especially if you have a lot of blankets and pillows and you're a deep sleeper. But I am such a light sleeper it worked very well for us. They were right there when they needed to be fed. I had mesh bed rails so they could sleep on the outside of the bed. But, it's not for everyone! We couldn't sleep train either - just couldn't bring ourselves to do it. We had a very well established bedtime routine and that helped a lot when they transitioned to their own beds at around 2 1/2 years old. They're now adults and sleep much better than I ever have! You just have to follow your heart and parent to match their personality a bit.
Not sure if you’ll see this, but just wanted to tell you that your sleep training videos have motivated me to keep trying with my daughter! She’s almost the exact same age as Jackson (within a week), so I’m in the trenches with you! Thanks for being real about it too. All the other videos make it seem so easy. I appreciate you putting it all out there for the sake of helping out other moms! Hugs from Canada!
With my son we transitioned him to his crib because his bassinet became too small and we found him wanting to sleep on his side since he started rolling over at 3 months. Since then he sleeps much better in his crib because he can move a round a bit before falling asleep versus being stuck on his back.
Kayla,you're such a strong,amazing mama. Don't think I'm strong enough to try sleep training. My baba is the same age as Jackson, born on the 12th December 2019. Fortunately she sleeps in stretches of between 4 to 6 hours at night, in the afternoon not that long. Just before she turned 5 months she's been wanting to sleep on my chest for her day naps.
Big ups to you for being so patient with him❤
Bongiwe Bongiwe My boy was born the same day 😉
@@justynag.4764 Wow! 😊
Bongiwe Bongiwe my girl was born the same day too! We’re trying sleep training today for the first time 😥
Oh my god!!!! I LOVE how I’ve been watching all your uploads and experienced this progress with you 😂 I’m literally a college student with 0 babies but I love your content. I love seeing the progress with Jackson’s sleep but also you mentally seem to be doing so much better. Wooooooo you go
This was so helpful and encouraging! Thinking about starting to sleep train our 4 month old. I like your method- no way I could deal with even 15 minutes of crying lol
This is always an hot topic among mothers but just do what works for you and Jackson! Every kid is different and needs a personal approach. You know what is the best for him! I let my little one cry a bit too (more like angry moaning because he was fighting it) and now he sleeps awesome! So way to go 🙌
I feel like he might sleep even better if he was able to roll to his side or something he's just sorta stuck or maybe frustrated to be on his back and also I wouldn't blast a light on every time .. keep it the sleep environment consistent. But I also am not his mom and you know him best. LOVE YA'LL and hope bb Jackson is feeling better 💛
I agree. I feel like he feels like hes on a ride being moved side to side.
Lol. Newborns are supposed to sleep on their backs! That’s what safe sleep is letting them sleep any other way can lead to SIDS sudden infant death syndrome
Mina's ur supposed to put them on their backs but its fine if theyre able to move to their sides or front on their own :)
Mina's Yes you’re right but also it does seem like he’s outgrowing the bassinet.
We attempted to sleep train our son in his bassinet that failed, we revisited the sleep training when we moved him to his crib and we finally achieved self soothing and resettling! All my son needed was room to move around and get comfy.
Soo happy for you that things are getting better with Jackson's sleeping! Seems like you are on the right track. Thanks for the update!
I’m a mom of 3 and know how hard sleep training is! My second baby was like this and the best thing is just letting them cry, you might be dragging out his sleep, and the sleep training process in general by going in the room so often. He is learning that if he cries, you will come in, and essentially he might be falling asleep BC he is so tired, not because he self soothes. I know there are so many opinions on here, he is your baby and ultimately you do what you think is best! Good luck momma!
I agree as much as it sucks to hear your baby cry. Sometimes they just need time to learn how to self soothe themselves and going in so often makes it even harder for them but I also know how hard it is not to rush to them and wanting to pick them up 😟
Kayla, you did a good job with Joe’s hair btw and your kids are just soooooo adorable!!
My daughter was born 12/12 so they are the same age. I recently sleep trained too and I had to do extinction because I found my daughter was getting more and more upset with the check-ins versus getting calmer. It was the hardest thing I've had to do with her. I bawled each time. The most she cried was 25 minutes and it killed me. I felt like the worst human being and mother ever. She has learned to self soothe at this point and I can put her down for naps and for bedtime with minimal to no fussing. All this to say, stay strong mama. Do what works for you and your family. You will sleep again and you are doing an amazing job!
Thank you. I've been watching your channel because my second baby was born 4 months ago and I've had the exact same struggles you've had. It gives me so much hope when I see thi GS do get better. You're doing great and look happier in this video x
Nope, I'm watching because I watch all your videos. I got lucky my baby sleeps good. Im rooting for you. Sorry it has been hard.
We are sleep training our 5 month old too. I was almost in tears as nap 3 neared and he fell asleep without any protest.
Could you share more about how you sleep trained your LO.❤
Floor beds are great, my son has been sleeping in his floor bed (twin size) since he was 5 weeks old. I never hada bassinet or a crib (used the snuggle me for the first 5 weeks). I can lay down beside him until he falls asleep (play with his hair, give him his paci, and sing to him) so he's falling asleep on his own but I'm just there helping him and eventually I'll reduce the amount I'm there beside him... he's 3 months old and sleeps for 8-10 hours straight. Naps are still all over the place but at least he got the night sleep down.
What if he rolls down on the floor
@@zaynaslife1785 it's not a big deal. Its maybe 4 inches that your kid falls. It scares the crap out of your kid though. My daughter slept on a floor bed for awhile. She fell 3 times. No injuries from it.
Hi, I'm Lexi, I'm about to be a first time mom, I'm 25 weeks pregnant :) I love watching your videos, you're family is so cute! I'm currently reading a few books about parenting and such and you say things like "I'm not ready to let him cry for so long" et. I just wanted to say, keep following your instincts as a mom. They always say every baby is different so I think it's important you're following his cues and soothing him. You're doing a great job!

YAY!!!!! I am so happy for you!!! I can only imagine how hard it was to hear him crying!!! Fingers crossed that his sleep just gets better and better!!! And YOUR sleep just gets better a d better!!! Xoxo
IM SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS! Ive been following and know how hard it has been!
I watched Riley's sleep training video when my daughter was 10 months old. (her and Riley are exactly a year apart) I tried the Ferber method like you did with her and like you said, going in there just made her even more mad. So I switched to complete extinction cry it out method and kind of modified it myself. Of course she was a lot older than Jackson and older than Riley was but If she was crying to the point where she couldn't catch her breath, I would go in and pick her up for like 30 seconds and tell her I love her and put her back down. She was sleeping through the night within 2 nights. But I'm so glad Jackson is showing a little progress! I think he should probably get out of the Merlin suit pretty soon though. He's basically rolling even though he can't get over his arm. he may be trying to sleep on his tummy, that could be a reason why he's holding onto the side of the snoo. He will eventually learn to stop startling so easily. My daughter started sleeping on her belly when we sleep trained, weirdly. I'm glad this is working for you though mama!!! 💗
Tried the Ferber method tonight on my 9 month old, I lasted an hour of his screaming and had to get him, my hubby and I could not handle it, we all were in tears!!
Hello, Kayla! You are such a great Mom! I watched your first Kid sleep training at 6 Month. I am watching this as well my son is also 4-Month and we are planning to sleep training him. You are such power inspiration to many of us.
Thank you for sharing

We just did the Ferber method for nighttime with our 5.5 month old and he also can settle himself to sleep now. He does tend to still wake up once or twice in the night, and last night was from 1-2 that he had to cry it out, but overall it is a million times better than the 5-10 wake ups a night he was doing. We also transitioned him to his crib and I swear he sleeps better in his own room! I am starting the nap training next week because I still currently have him being held for his naps or else he wakes up after 20 minutes 😬
Thank you for this ❤️ my guy is 4.5 months and straight up Ferber is stressing me out. I think the smaller intervals to start and then rescuing is much more manageable for me and my anxiety right now
I’m tying to get myself to do it but I can’t stand him crying even for a second I pick him right back up 😞
@@khadijahbarber7498 it was so worth it. Literally took 2 days of needing several checkins/lots of screaming and it clicked. My guy is 7 months now and goes right down most of the time. Still screams every so often and it hurts me to the core every time. Like makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry. But they are fed dry safe and loved. It’s a good skill for them to learn to self soothe. You got this ❤️🙂
@@nicolezulli160 thank you! I’m going to keep trying. I think we’re starting to go through the regression he’s waking a lot more then he used to
@@khadijahbarber7498
I use to have the same problem with my little girl, she was waking up crying in the night-time but after I put into practice the methods presented in this Parenting Cours tinyurl.com/syfb4jw8
she sleeps all night long and my and my wife can sleep to.
I wish you all the best
I am so getting one of those sleep suits for my son!
Hey Kayla. My son was the same. I think he's trying to flip over onto his belly to sleep. A lot of reflux babies are belly sleepers. Once my son did that his sleep improved a lot, and eventually put himself to sleep.
Almost all babies prefer to sleep on their belly but it significantly increased the risk for SIDS
Glynis D'Silva it’s not good to sleep on his/her belly yet. That’s what my son’s paediatrician told me.
Absolutely Average exactly!
Woah woah woah. What happened over here? I was just saying that's how it went with my son. With him once he was capable of flipping onto his belly he could always move his head to the side.
I just purchased the Merlin suit 🤞🏼
My 5 month old daughter was doing so well with her sleeping but the regression is so real right now ! She has always put herself to sleep (I’ve never had to rock her to sleep) but she will fidget the entire night now! I really hope this helps. Momma needs some sleep.
exactly same here! but my little one got her sleep regression at 14 weeks, we are at week 18 now and gets better after we transitioned from the swaddle to a zippy bag. also put her in a bigger crib so she can roll on her side as she prefers that. Currently trying to do some form of sleep training -preferably train her how to sleep soothe herself as she used to. What approach worked for you?
If your baby really likes that rocking motion bye the graco duo glider bassinet! It really is a life saver. My colicky babies that just wanted to be held finally slept on their own without me and my family holding them. And you can adjust the speed to.slowly ween them off of it.
You are doing great !! I got a tip .my son loves the fisher price soothe and glow seahorse at Walmart to help him sleep so what I do is put him in a sleep sack rock him for awhile and sing to him like nursing rhymes and then when I see his slowly closing I lay him down and turn on the seahorse and mind you he still have the other sound machine on like what your son Jackson has so the seahorse basically replaces your singing . And even tho he goes on the bed and he wakes up the light from the seahorse should get him tired that’s how I got my son to sleep through the night .
You are such a good mom ❤
Once he is transitioned to his crib when he has room to flip over to his belly it could help him with his startle reflex I know every baby is different but it definitely helped my son so much 😊
I used the sleep suit when my daughter was transitioning out of a regular swaddle and it definitely helped with their reflex and taught her to sleep with her arms out without her waking up.
You are amazing! Being consistent ALWAYS pays off! Way to go Jackson, and way to go mama!
You are a great, loving Mom Kayla. You have a beautiful family. I have 3 children and each responded different to sleep training. Just in case it helps you, I would like to mention that my oldest daughter could never sleep on her back, at about 4 months old that she was able to roll over she would always roll on her tummy when I put her in the crib and would sleep through the night like magic. No crying. Same for the naps, she went from napping about half an hour to about 2-2 1/2 hours. She is now 17 years old and still sleeps on her stomach. My boy would sleep on his side, again, since about 5 months old baby, he would position himself like that. My youngest daughter was the only one of my babies that was able to sleep on his back. All of them were put to sleep in their cribs since coming from the hospital, in my room, but in their cribs, until five months old that would move to their own rooms. Hope this helps and no worries Kayla, you are doing a great job and your children will be fine. Sending you blessings.
My son was born December 15th and I found your channel in my third trimester and your videos have been such a HUGE help especially since they're the same age

We were given hand me downs of the Carter's
Microfleece Sleep Bags, they aren't nearly as bulky, I feel like maybe Jackson may be more comfy in them and you could pair them with a heavier weight or lighter weight footed sleeper or even like a short sleeved onesie based on the daily weather forecast. Maybe worth a try. I agree that I think once he's good at rolling it'll help him because I bet he wants to be on his tummy but I'd wait till he can get into and out of that position well on his own. I did that with my oldest as I always lay them down on their backs per recommendations. I try to always follow the SIDS recommendations. Like I saw someone suggested you put your milk on a shirt but I'd say no to that and instead put a drop or 2 on whatever sheets he's using so there's no SIDS risks or maybe a drop or 2 on his sleep sack or PJs, instead.
I reckon he was too big for his bassinet at this point cause he kept grabbing the edges etc . I had to move my girl early to her crib and it helped so so much !
I feel you momma, my daughter didn't sleep longer than two hours until we started sleep training at four months at the suggestion of her doctor. She didnt sleep through the night until 11 months, but I was dying and the sleep training saved me as a mom and wife.
So happy for Jackson’s progress!!! You’re awesome mama, your consistency with him is working!
Personally for me I used The Happy Sleeper, and I plan on using it again for my second baby. Your doing slot of the methods outlined in that book 😁
Love your video, I think he reached his arm to the side cause he wanted to roll, it happened with my son and we found out he needed bigger bassinet so we move him to the cot
I definitely think he needs a crib or a pack and play to sleep in. I believe once a baby is showing signs of rolling a bassinet can no longer be used. He is definitely trying to roll over and is crying out of frustration at some points.
Liberty Anne Kayla said in another video somewhere that she ordered his crib and nursery furniture, but held off on doing it because she didn’t want strangers in her house with everything going on! Not sure when it’s supposed to arrive, but i’m sure she will delay it since they are going to spend a few weeks in Miami.
Just watching this gives me so much anxiety the crying God know I will never be able to do that at all but you doing a great job mummy
I’m glad you won’t be able to do that because it’s not natural to do that. No mammal can ever let their offspring just cry in a separate place unattended. Not even animals do this. We are the only species that has been tricked into believing it’s OK to just ignore our instincts and ignore the calls of our offspring. Please read this article. It will put everything into perspective. sarahockwell-smith.com/2014/06/30/self-settling-what-really-happens-when-you-teach-a-baby-to-self-soothe-to-sleep/
@@TheStigmawarriors Agree!
My son is 3 months old so I am preparing myself for this. I never sleep trained my first child and totally regret that 😔 I love love love your channel ❤ you are an amazing 👩
I looks like he wants to roll over to his tummy that’s way he is positioning himself towards the side of the bassinet, it may be too small for him to wriggle about before he falls asleep
Yes, maybe he is a tummie or side sleeper
What wake windows are you doing?
Thanks for your videos. My baby is about 2 weeks younger than Jackson. Your content is so helpful. We’re going through all the same things. You’re doing great mama!
If you are having sleep troubles with your infant, please read this article. I trust this sleep expert so much and I’ve learned so much from her. sarahockwell-smith.com/2014/06/30/self-settling-what-really-happens-when-you-teach-a-baby-to-self-soothe-to-sleep/
I got my 4 month old on a routine from the time she was 4 weeks old. 8pm bath time then feed swaddle then sleep in her crib in her own room lights off no talking. If her Pacifier comes out i go in the room put it back in her mouth and leave. She now knows exactly what her routine is and she sleeps for 8 hours straigh
You were blessed with an awesome sleeper.
Hey so we basically had the exact same issue as our daughter that you do with your son (same age too)! Super short naps, took forever to get to sleep etc. We actually did sleep train. Maybe taking him out of the merlin and putting him in his own space like his nursery/crib would help him sleep longer stretches? My LO slept so much better when she could roll and move into her own positions. But good job and yay that he put himself to sleep!
I’m rooting for you & Jackson! I really hope this works for y’all! I have a 2 week old and sleeping has been pretty different every day. My baby actually likes the sound of the fan going and a lullaby I put on my laptop. She also loves being rocked on my chest or in the rocking chair and actually prefers and sleeps better on a non moving surface. Like she will wake up and not sleep well if I put her in a swing or even if I continue to rock her for too long, she likes to be put down once she’s asleep. She is co-sleeping for now but I’m hoping she will transition to her crib soon, I just have to figure out how lol!
Good luck with Jackson! You’re family is just so adorable 😍
Hey Kayla, great news about Jackson 🥰 so happy for you!
What are Jackson’s awake windows like? I can’t seem to figure out my sons and he’s around the same age as Jackson xx
I have always always wondered..babies are such perfect creations of God. They know digestion, metabolism, temperature control, cognition. But why don't they know just how to sleep !???!!! What must be God's plan behind this ? I have struggled with my baby's sleep for 10 months..and it's now that I've got a little relief. But every evening I get borderline anxiety wondering about how the night will go..!
They don’t really know digestion either, in dealing with a colicky baby and the Dr says, it’s because their digestive systems are very immature! Sleep is a tough one too! It’s very hard and I’m so thankful for these videos so I don’t feel like an awful mother 😂
I definitely understand the anxiety over baby's sleep. It is actually probably the one thing I pray to the Lord about the most lol.
I started sleep train my baby since she was 5 weeks . Now she’s doing so good just sleeping in her own bed
Because frequent awakening is essential for survival for small mammals especially at night.. They need to cry so their parents will hold them up and run away from large predators..
Because baby's sleep with their mother . Simple . They are not ready to sleep alone. The need feel secure and not alone. I sleep with my baby and he is very happy. He sleeps and I sleep.
I LOVE watching your videos. I wish you posted everyday 😂 I hope you have some luck soon with Jackson!❤️ praying for you!
I just started my training yesterday. We sat next to him to shush and pat him the whole time he cried. Took 20-30 minutes. But he learnt so quick. Today my baby only cried for 2 mins and slept on his own again. U can do this! It’s worth it. Being able to sleep is beneficial for everyone and also for your baby’s growth and development. This is why we chose to do it too.

Stigma Warriors lol this has no scientific backing. Just an opinion of a mother of 4?
Good morning girl ❤️ hope you all are doing well !!
He just wants mommy. I hate even riding in the car right now because she screams in her carseat like “why won’t you hold me?” I could never do CIO.
I just started sleep training my 4 month old, second baby, , it is night one. She is goof at falling asleep with a pacifier but I am trying to train her without so she can sleep longer stretches. Listening to your baby crying gives me a little bit of anxiety and Jackson isn’t even mine. We started sleep training my first baby at 4 months also, Ferber methods also and he really didn’t sleep through the night until 6 months, but it was worth it, but so hard.
Listening to talk about how anxious you feel, helps me know I am not the only one that gets like that when baby is crying.
Awww yea we went through the exact same thing with my son, I never thought he'd be able to sleep normally. I wish I sleep trained sooner, but I was always so afraid of letting him cry. I'll be trying your method for sure for the next baby
Btw if Jackson is holding onto the side like that it might be because he wants to roll over or needs more space. My son did the same exact thing until I finally tried putting him in the crib and he slept more comfortable ( He was also around 5 months when he started doing that)
Oh man that makes me so happy for you that he is sleeping better for you ! My little boy was an awful sleeper too until we sleep trained him. I found that the trick for us was a bottle with rice milk in it I would finally get a good stretch in at night.
Your LO is so cute, love to watch your vlogs
This gives me such hope for my lil man!

Stigma Warriors that’s not a reliable source. Bye
Have you ever tried using the Snoo as directed? It really works for our LO.
Agreed, let the snoo do its purpose to try to soothe!
Yes until recently she showed that he was swaddle and strapped into the snoo as directed... it stopped being useful for him.. so they changed some stuff up.. he still just uses the rocking movement.
Keep it up!! I know this is so hard and people have so many opinions but trust your gut. We had a miserable time sleep training our almost 9 month old because she was so much more aware. This is also an unpopular opinion but her babysitter got her to sleep like an angel in a swaddle up she was way past swaddling. Supervised of course.
wow .... thank you its very helpful
You make sleep training sound so easy, it makes me consider sleep training 🥺 I’m so scare of letting my baby cry, I don’t know if I can take it
Please don’t do it mama. I want you to read this article. sarahockwell-smith.com/2014/06/30/self-settling-what-really-happens-when-you-teach-a-baby-to-self-soothe-to-sleep/
Hi! I encountered the problem of not sleeping and
Fatigue due to my baby's crying at night, so I tried this wonderful solution that you can try. It is a method for sleeping a child. From this site:

You are doing a great job! I noticed you weren't giving him a pacifier. Not sure if you are against them or can't find one he likes. I recommend trying tommee tippee pacifier are looking for a new one to try!
I love your videos and the way you explain everything in details. I’m sleep training my 7 months old son right now using the Ferber method and I can see so much improvement so far and I’m so happy.
I’ve watched your videos with your daughter, super cute! Thank you for inspiring. 🙏🏻 God bless your family ❤️
I saw Railey s video and sleep trained my baby same way.Trust me it was really helpful.❤️
KAYLA!! question!! I really hope you can respond... I purchased the collagen peptides and the benefits are very appealing to me, especially the joint support and skin health, but it does say to consult your physician if pregnant or nursing... i am nursing my 2 month old, both him and i are healthy, i know you are nursing as well. My physician will not tell me one way or the other, most likely because they dont want to be liable if something were to go wrong... they say it is 'unethical' to test and study, so im wondering is it actually safe to take, have you talked to you doctor and if so what did they say? What are your thoughts and personal opinions on it? I am also continuing my prenatals.. So i just want to make sure im not overdosing on vitamins and not taking anything that could be harmful to my baby boy. I know your not a doctor but doctors dont always have an answer for everything and you have experience with it.. please and thank you
Have you heard of tension decreaser and tension increaser babies? Tension decreasers are babies who need to release their tension through crying/squirming to actually relax whereas tension increasers are babies that once they get wound up they get more and more upset and it's harder to calm them down. I'm wondering if Jackson is a tension decreaser and just needs that time to get his stress out.
Is that suit okay for new rollers?
You remind me so much of me, when I had mine little.
I can feel your happiness! I honestly think babies sleep better on their side or on their tummy, I noticed the same thing--my 4 1/2 month baby would fuss fuss fuss and then pass out instantly once he rolls to his side or tummy lol.
Good morning Kayla
You have helped me so much I am sleep training my 7 month old and for the past 2 nights she has woken up and won the battle , I passed out with her on the boob . I feel like crying whenever it's bed time . How many naps do you recommend for a 7 months old and if she wakes up after 15 mins do I continue the cry out technique? Thank you again
He did so good! Hope he is doing even better now! Is the Merlin suit too hot for summer?
because of you i feel confident enough to try this with my 3 month old. day 1 🤞🏻🤍
So excited for this video, we're about to start this process with our 4 month old and needed some encouragement. We are waiting for the Merlin suit to arrive-did u give it a few days for Jackson to get used to it or just start sleep training first time in it?
Jackson might really respond well to starting to take one of his naps outside the Snoo, like in his crib. I know basically the sleep training is out the window while you’re staying with your parents lol but when you get back home! That’s how we slowly introduced the crib to our now 6 month old baby & it went well. I think he liked the extra space :)
i don’t have the right right to to get get back in time time ioouooouu
iuuuu
I’m due in the beginning of June and have been binge watching your videos!! Thank you for this 🤗

oh my.. i couldnt listen to your baby crying ... let alone letting my 5 month old cry... i am ok with doing whatever it takes to not let my baby cry as its just a short phase i am riding along with.. But however you feel good for your baby.. mother knows best.. but i just dont have the heart
8.32 when Jackson gets a sad face. Reminds me of my boy when his bottom lips come out lol
My 2yo has never slept through the night, infact she now cosleeps and takes a hour to sleep, wakes multiple times and starts her day between 5-6 am. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and instead of looking forward to baby #2 im terrified...not sure how I will cope.
love watching your videos! you can try zipadee swaddles for transitioning. it works for my little one (who's 5 months now) since 3.5 months old. i've started sleep training her since 3 months old. it's heartbreaking to hear them cry, but in the end, it's worth it. keep it up, momma!
May I know what’s his wake up hours? And do u mind sharing his schedule? Thanks!
Awww sleep training is so tough. In the end it's worth it in my opinion
Great video! I’m due with baby number 2 in July and I am curious on whether Riley regressed or had issues staying asleep once Jackson arrived and he’d cry in the night or for naps! My daughter is sleep trained and I am dreading her sleep being interrupted once her sister arrives!
Do you feed him after his night sleeps??? 3.5 hrs
I tried several times but I kept giving up and couldn't try anymore.😢
