Came across this UA-cam video after researching what the hell to do because my baby was waking up every hour!! I was so exhausted. I followed every step in this video and it completely changed my life. My 5month old is sleeping through the night after day 2. I definitely said to myself “every baby is different”. But i decided to give it a try and it worked. If you’re a new mom, don’t be discouraged.
I am very exhausted my 7 months old baby is not sleeping at all wake in up at night every hour and she is not having naps in day time🤦♀️ Is there any advice that you can give me to help her to sleep well please? What you done exactly to help your baby to sleep?
My son was sleeping 10-11 hours a night at about 4.5 months. It's such a blessing after going so long without having nights free. Now I can actually clean up the house, make dinner, sit on my bed. It's so convenient.
My son was sleeping perfectly at 4 months! Then the 4 month sleep regression started and I started breastfeeding him to sleep... And it got worse! When I saw this video, I followed the advise and after 3 nights he slept through the night again!!! Thank you so much, it changed our lives and we enjoyed the wake times even more :)
If it’s comfort for y‘all, when they turn 13-20, they will sleep like logs all the time. In the morning, afternoon, evening, be on tour through the night, go ahead sleeping, sleep in on Saturday and Sundays, not getting up before lunchtime. It will get better 🫣
Yeah... Letting a baby cry it out doesn't sit well with me. Sometimes my son can sleep through, other times he doesn't, when he does wake up and cry or moan he's communicating... Either too hot, or getting cold, may have peed through his diaper, a blocked nose, thirsty or just in need of some love and affection. He's 14months old now... I've never gotten the sense that he's testing us or being spoilt... It doesn't matter how tired my husband and I get sometimes, the needs of our little one needs to be met. We will have better sleep again somday if we are privileged to live.
“If we are privileged to live” there’s your problem right there. Your child cannot always come first, because then who is putting you first? Not your whiny child, that’s for damn sure. They are fed, they are cleaned, they have been read a boring story. Go. To. Sleep. 14 months is old enough to be able to self soothe. If mummy and daddy can’t sleep then useless baby isn’t going out to put food on the table.
@@nadinehart8624wow aren’t you just a great nurturing, patient, and kind person who seems like your parent’s tended to your needs and showed you unconditional love. No, not really….You are the reason people should understand what happens when you just let a baby cry…it produces people with this mindset. Yeah how dare a child who is learning how to regulate their emotions, express themselves, developing, teething, or having some form of issues they can’t communicate to you (of course because they are trying to learn to talk ) have the nerve to wake up or start crying at night, be whiny, need love, and reassurance. How would you like to be in a situation were you can’t communicate and something is wrong and someone is like cry me a river and go to bed! How dare I decide to have a baby and they are not convenient to my lifestyle or they don’t put me first? lol what? Seriously. Comments like this help you understand what happens when you don’t teach your child love, patience, and tend to them when they communicate …they grow into teenagers and adults that have issues. Because you were taught you are alone and can cry until you’re blue in the face …..You’re keeping me up kid no one cares about you so go to bed! Especially given the personality types that usually have sleep issues they need patience and love more than anything not being ignored. They will naturally learn to self soothe as brain development occurs without having to learn abandonment and trust issues. Not everyone needs to be a parent, your comment definitely proves that.
To all those saying proudly, no rocking, I want to say this: There is nothing wrong with rocking and cuddling to put a baby to sleep. Babies are not going to be babies forever. Don't let them cry themselves to sleep. They need to be held, cuddles, rocked and sung to! Also, don't try to make young babies sleep through the night. They need to eat in between.
This is wrong and you miss the point entirely. Sleeping through the night is learned behavior for babies. Rocking them or soothing them to sleep does not allow them to learn how to do it on their own. There’s plenty of time to rock and soothe when they are newborns. Once they are several months old, they need to start learning to self soothe. And no, they don’t need to eat in the night once they reach a certain age, usually around 6 months, but some babies are good with sleep and will not wake up to feed at a younger age. The last thing any parent wants is a toddler that is totally dependent on a parent to sleep and nap. Whether that be sleeping in general, or sleeping in their own bed and room.
My husband sleep trained our 3 month old baby. For nights I wasn’t getting any sleep. This eventually led me to be depressed and sleep deprived. I couldn’t get things done or be a mommy during the day like I wanted to, because I was so sleepy! She would wake up every 15-30mins from 12am -8am. However, after he sleep trained her , I was getting so much sleep. Of course, she woke up once during the night for a breastfeeding snack. Moreover, it didn’t create any weird connection between me and my baby. She’s 4 1/2 years old now, and we’re inseparable ❤️
My baby started sleeping 11-12 hours straight when she turned 3 months. I made sure that i started a routine when she was 1 month old. I did the same thing at the same time every night and it worked like a magic! I do: Bath time at 7 Made sure she’s well fed Turn on white noise Swaddle and dance her around for a bit until she fell asleep Then put her down in her bassinet I also make sure to give her a nap every 1 hour for an hour and that she’s well fed throughout the day. When she got a little older I started giving her naps every 2 hours for an hour to 1 1/2 hours. When she turned 6 months we moved her in her own room with the exact same routine except we stopped swaddling her at 4 months. Bath time Turn on white noise Milk time until full Dance her around Then put her down in her crib Let her fall asleep on her own Only time she wakes up is when she’s not feeling well but that’s once in a blue moon. She’s now 10 months and still sleeps 11-12 hours a night.
My babe is a preemie so I’m always a little unsure of when to start certain things. I’m going to try this. At 6 weeks, she doesn’t sleep poorly and only gets two night feedings but she’s a super noisy sleeper that makes it challenging for us. Her sleep sounds similar to her waking.
I started writing stories for my train obsessed toddler who never wanted to go to bed. Just started recording audios weekly and releasing them on youtube. The premise is that the bed turns into a magic train once they close their eyes and each time they get to travel to a different part of the world. @
I don’t have the heart to let my baby boy cry like that. New mothers are often told that once they’ve fed, burped and changed their baby, they should leave their baby alone to self soothe and cry because all their needs have been met. One day I hope all new mothers will smile confidently and say , “ I gave birth to a baby and not just a digestive system. My baby has a brain that needs to learn to trust and a heart that needs love. I will meet all my baby’s needs emotionally, mental and physical and I will respond to every cry because crying is communication not manipulation.”
Nicely said, im a new mom of a 4m old and my heart breaks if she cries, for whatever reason. I always tried to be patient and soothe her. Now she only cries when hungry or tired, i think she got used to me having her back. Ugh language barriers :d
Catalina Sima at this age they can’t get used to something yet. They just vocalize. I think around or over a year is when they get used to something. I’m a mom of a 19 month old too. She was born 2 months early, at 31 weeks and only 1kg. So it does really break my heart cause she has been through a lot but man, she is now using that to get her way in everything if I’m being honest😅 I of course try to make her understand right from wrong but at this age they still don’t understand much... I just can’t wait until she can speak and so she understands that all I’m doing is keeping her healthy, safe and guid her, that’s why certain things aren’t allowed.
@@tima2553 i understand what you mean :D its just that i feel like she doesnt bother crying anymore, i don t even need to hold her, if she sees me around it seems to be enough for her to be calm
Yes! Yes! Yes! I don't get how many parents can just act so much against the needs of their infants and their own instincts and do sleep training. A baby CAN not know that everything is allright and mommy is just next door. Sleep training is teaching your child to give up because nobody will listen to his calls for help. So cruel. Our son just sleeps next to us and we all get enough sleep although he doesn't sleep 11 hours straight.
Try a sleep blanket and a bath about 7pm they will cluster feed right after the bath no soap needed just keep the water super warm and have them play 15 min. I switched bathtime to night because my little one would be up all night and day. Now she sleeps 12 hours and I get 2 naps in the day.
My baby sleeps 10-12 hours since 4 months old. We started sleep training since 3 weeks old. Warm lavender bath, Lights out, soothing sounds, bottle. Same routine every night. No rocking chair, no props.
Second to u! I also sleep trained both my girls when they were a month old. Not about making them cry to sleep but keeping consistent routine and no rocking, no feed to sleep really helps establish a great sleeping habit later in so I disagree with ppl saying babies under three months old should be spoiled and not be sleep trained
The only way I could ever let the baby "cry it out", is in the case the mom feels like she has had enough. When I say had enough, I'm meaning that she puts the baby in the crib and shuts the door to walk away from her baby so she doesn't lose it or hurt the baby, or maybe she needs a break. That's the only way I could ever do that. I'm a mother of two (a six, and now 4.5 week year old), I've had to walk away before, but I've never let my babies cry themselves to sleep and never will.
Exactly! I left the room for my own sanity and baby's safety. But NEVER would I let him cry! 2-3 times a night looks pretty normal for that little one. They often just need love and reassurance! If you decide to get a child you have to care for it!
I think this is not true. But everyone can have their own opinion. I really wanted children, but that doesn’t mean i have to get them to sleep the whole day / night. My baby was 3 months old when i let her cry (ofcourse not super long). And i would go inside her room every time to calm her down, but she would fall a sleep in her own crib. It last for 1 month, and then she slept so good! Day.. and night. From 19.00-07.00. And over the day she slept really good as well. Because she knew how to sleep by her own and she knew her crib felt safe. I know parents that always get their babies to sleep, and now their older, and now they still have sleep problems with their child. I think that’s not good for the parents as well for the children. Because sleep is so important.
@@jaylo3678 you don't have to let your baby cry in order for it to learn how to fall asleep alone. My second son is 4 month now and he falls asleep in his own 90% of the time without me ever letting him cry,. It's much more work for the parents to do it cry free. I agree that sleep is so important for them. BUT developing basic trust is just as important. A baby that stops crying just gave up. It did not self soothe. But that's just my opinion.
I did the Cry it out last night . I couldn’t watch him😭 He is my Baby🥺🥺but yeah whenever i feel like its enough i’ll consider this method looks effective
My baby has been sleeping through the night since 3 months.. now shes 7 months and adjusting to sleep training with ease, after 10 mins she was down i guess I'm just lucky!
Omg MINE TOO. She is 2 months only now, but have been sleeping for 8 hours straight.. Although it is from like 12 at night until 8 in the morning. I hope that doesn’t change when she’s older😭
My baby has always been a good night sleeper but she falls asleep on the breast. I feel like she relies on me to fall asleep and for that reason only takes 10 minute naps during the day when I attempt to put her down she instantly wakes up. She's now almost 5 months old, should I wait longer to sleep train her? Last night I tried to for night 2 and didn't get much sleep and she threw up all over the place. She was legit waking up screaming every hour 😩 Am I trying to fix something that's not really broken?
Epic_R Shutterbug I didn’t have professional help but I have 4 kids and it’s been trial and error. I write down every time they eat and how much if breast feeding I write what breast and how long and if it’s formula I write how many oz. I also write down every diaper change, this helps figure out why they’re crying because at times it’s not hunger. Before bed I make sure I’ve given them their usual amount of formula and their diaper is changed and then slowly they’re full at night so they don’t wake up, it’s hard but usually by 1 month they’re sleeping from through the night, I let them pick their time though, my daughter was asleep by 7pm and my son who is 2 months now is midnight, slowly I’ll wake him during the day and change the hour but for now I just let him pick the time with his feedings. I wish you the best of luck, it’s not easy at first but it does get easier
@@stephy8183 awww thank you for getting back to me. I have a 2 week old and he sleep from 3pm to 8pm in a deep sleep, and winges moans all night long, constantly gets up every 1 n half to 2 hours for a feed, its exhausting.
Epic_R Shutterbug my mother in law suggested that you open the windows and let the light in and try to get him to stay awake by talking to him or maybe not snuggling him so warmly, when he goes to sleep at night you keep the room dark so they can tell the difference between night and day. This has always worked for me to get them to sleep more at night. It’s hard but it does get better! You got this and congratulations! Enjoy him because time flies 🥺😭
Babies wake up because they are either hungry, wet, sick or uncomfortable temperature wise. Dont ignore your child unless all these are sorted. Sometimes they just want to be held close. They are babies after all.
Unfortunately that creates a codependent relationship, very unhealthy. We would love to hold our children whenever they ask but sometimes we need to stop doing for them what they can do for themselves.
I don't see the problem. My baby sleeps next to me and when he wakes up I just breastfeed. I fall back asleep while doing it, and so does he. I don't even remember how many times he breastfeeds, because it doesn't bother me at all. And he's happy and relaxed. We both get enough sleep and he never had to get throught the traumatising experience of having to cry alone in the night. Btw, co-sleeping is perfectly safe for healthy infants if you keep your bed free of heavy pillows and thick blankets (just wear a warmer pyjama), the parents don't smoke and are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. On the other hand, having a very young baby sleeping in a separate room is associated with higher SIDS rates.
I’ve never sleep trained any of my kids and they all slept a full night on their own by 18 months. SAHM, bed, and room sharing allowed me to get my sleep needed.
Both my brother and I slept through the night straight away from birth. My mother was even had the nurse correct her for not feeding my brother during the night for the first 5 months because she was told to feed on demand but because he never woke up he didn’t demand.
Wow. This kinda look like a magic. Might wanna try this tho. I know its hard, frustrating taking care of babies. I have a 15 yr old kid and suddenly got pregnant again. I couldnt even remember his milestones. Its like im back to zero again on taking care of a baby. Its really really frustrating. But, these babies, they grow up so fast. All i can say is enjoy each moment you are with them coz SOMEDAY, its just gonna be YOU and YOUR partner. Your children will have their own lives. Just enjoy taking care of them, just have fun. P.s. My baby is now almost 3 months old and she takes a nap 4-5times a day. Wakes up 2-3 times at night. Frustrating but it gets easier. Remember, it shall pass. Just enjoy them while u can. ❤
Lmao is everything ok? Seriously asking btw. I know this kind of frustration. I’m here to talk if you need it. Also a mom with a baby who refuses to sleep
@@damarimoland1613 i know how hard it can be. You can get seriously crazy without sleep. With my son it helped to keep a strict routine at nighttime. And the same routine when he wakes at night. But my 2 year old still wakes once a night most nights. My pediatrician said that is completely normal. They still learn soooo much. They still need so much reassurance. We are happier since we allowed him to come to our bed when he wakes in the night. We all sleep more and since he woke less often knowing we are here and accessable. But if you don't want that's completely understandable. Every mom and dad have to be ok with the methods to. Not only the children
@@schneeevchen that’s true I’m iffy on the bed just because I am told I am a wild sleeper so I might have to put three pillows as a barrier between me and my daughter
2-3 times a night? GTFOH! Talk to me when your baby wakes up every 30 minutes! Complaining about waking up 2-3 times is laughable. And this sleep method seems to be extremely similar to the Ferber method.
Facts I have a 2 year old and we tried everything now since he crawls out of crib, we lowered it long ago obviously. He won’t stop demanding breastfeeding and falls out of his new big boy bed, lays in my bed (bad habit) we used to not share a room, might have to try that, we only have one room downstairs the other is a guest room I want have
@@iambeezee He's still not a great sleeper, and may wake once or twice a night as a usual. But it improves for a while, then regresses. A couple good weeks, a couple bad weeks. Teething is a challenge, developmental spurts are a challenge, and little colds are a challenge. We'll get there eventually.
@@ctcollinthib if it helps I read a book called "the gentle sleep book" and it's VERY normal for babies under 2 to wake frequently so don't feel defeated or that you are doing anything wrong. It's only the western countries that expect this from babies! Even things like sleeping in a crib in their own room. Once you let go of that expectation it's quite a comfort to know that it's just biological ok for your baby to need you at night x
@@iambeezee i agree. I was furious just 2 months ago with my now 5 mo expecting her to sleep for long stretches. Since I gave in after informing myself, what baby’s sleep really is about, especially before they even hit 3 yo, I stopped being so worried about every night. Sure, my baby still wakes up 3-5x a night, but hey, she is breastfed, she needs to be comforted but that’s my role in her life, isn’t it? She first must be dependent to become independent in the end. Enjoy these “sleepless” nights, they grow up so fast and then we will be remembering those nights with tears in our eyes. If everything would be easy breeze, nothing would be special ♥️
My 10 month old sleeps 5 hours straight, gets up for 2 hours then sleeps 4 more hours. I've got to get him out of my bed so I can sleep better. To the crib he goes. Starting tonight!
I will say that my first child I didn’t sleep train because it was so hard and sad and she is 3 and STILL wakes up at least once through the night and I regretted not sleep training because I honestly felt like a zombie most of the time and felt like I couldn’t be the best mom because of my moodiness from not sleeping. So I sleep trained my second one and she sleeps like a dream, she sleeps better than my 3 year old lol and it only took like 3 days! No regrets here!
Sleep during the day make sure you open blinds and let the light in. At night, make sure there are no lights on or noise. Try not to carry her at night. It should change within a week. I had the same problem and put the sound of white noise.
Currently watching at 4 AM while dad takes a turn with our 15 month old, who's been up for an hour now. Every night he's up from like 2-2:30 til 6 or 6:30 and I'm so done. Wasn't always this bad but boy this sucks 💀 gonna try this
Yes research shows that its absolutely normal for babies to waking up at night as they don't have the same sleep cycle as adults. It's actually child abuse to allow a child crying for a prolonged period of time due to raised cortisol levels that are produced in the brain. This can cause irreversible brain damage. It's incredibly selfish for parents to make a child endure this stress just for their own comfort. It's incredible that Western country like the US and UK have made mothers think that night waking are abnormal and should be rectified. They want women not to be mothers but be contributing to the workforce and economy as soon as possible. Hence why all the gimmicks of breast pumping, baby led weaning, nursery and sleep training is to get the child independent as soon possible so the mother go back to work. Mother's are forced to put their children through what they don't deserve. Mother's are not being allowed to be actually mothers instead been left to feel guilty and torn between their careers and actually being a mother.
Well not everyone can be a stay at home mom. To say it is selfish of the parent is ridiculous because you can’t be a good mom while sleep deprived. And crying won’t cause brain damage
I agree with much of what you said except the "irreversible brain damage" and "baby-led weaning" bits. But parenting has become SO much about prioritizing the comfort of the parents. I am a huge proponent of self-care, of the concept of putting your oxygen mask on first, but this is NOT that. Many parents just don't want to be inconvenienced or for their life to shift.
My 9 month old baby sleeps at 9pm and wakes up 2 or 3am and gave him a bottle of milk. Then he will go back to sleep. Maybe that baby is hungry and wants to drink milk
Babies need that bottle too to grow so sounds like you are doing exactly what baby needs. I just can’t do this to my baby. I’m talking about this method. It’s all out of convenience and not what’s good for the baby. I used to think the opposite but after reading up on some studies, I’m gona feed my baby. She goes back to sleep anyway
Disgusting and unacceptable your baby should not be getting any milk day or night far too old that’s why your baby is waking up because you are rewarding him with milk stop giving him milk and he won’t wake up
I share a room with my babe too. I feel like so much baby sleep advice is geared towards parents who don’t room share and it makes a lot of the advice hard to follow
The video didn’t advise to let baby cry non stop, she says to go in to soothe every 10 minutes. Maybe once your baby has their own room, then you might be able to use this technique, if you wanted to.
@@MultiNblue the rush is cuz lack of sleep causes learning problems later on. We all need good night sleep for healthy development and happiness. When mine was sleep trained ,the tantrums were gone,and before she was cranky like almost all day
I heard that there was something called sleep training. It is supposed to help your baby to get on the right schedule when it comes to sleeping. I want to know if anyone has heard about this.
These methods in the video are terrible but there are other ways to support sleep in your baby. But expecting any baby under the age of one to sleep through the night on the parent's schedule is incredibly unwise.
I disagree. Babies are meant to be with their mom. It’s the most natural thing for them and if they wake up and are hungry FEED them. They will only be little for so long and then sleep through the night when ready. Part of being a parent is knowing that your schedule will change.
I know, right? What the fuck is up with these uneducated idiots claiming to be experts or specialists in solving a problem that doesn’t exist. This child’s behaviour is normal, the mothers isn’t.
My baby sleeps 8-9 hours. I'm ok with that as long as she naps well during the day, but there are some days where the naps are too short. Just a lottery for me
Why is it that The couple who got this help happen to be well off news journalist in the New York area? Couldn’t have them going to a regular families home? Only the entitled rich get help while the regular work and class stuff gets to watch a news article about it. What a joke.Look at that house, do you honestly feel bad for them?
So sleeping training is basically let your baby crying and screaming for hours until he is so tired of crying that he sleeps. Then next day he gives up amd now he knows you will not be there when he cries. I dont know, I have a little baby and he is struggling with the sleep, I want to do everything that it is possible to help him and also the mother. But to just let the baby crying does not seems right to me. And for those who say it does not affected the relation with the kid, that is not a good parameter. Even parents that abuse the kids are still loved sometimes by the kids, the child is dependent and cannot fully express himself. I don't want to judge anyone, only who is suffering and struggling knows the pain and I wish best of luck to everyone.
Amazing that little Miles slept 11 hours on night 3! Great work! Although it may have been a tough couple of days, you're giving your little guy the gift of sleep. Amazing! xx
Every baby is different, obviously don’t expect a newborn to sleep through the night. My daughter didn’t sleep through the night until she was like 7 months. I didn’t sleep train her, she did that all by herself. If you have an older baby and they wake up multiple times a night they probably feel alone in their crib they get scared. My daughter hates her crib but she’s about to be 1 so I’m getting her used to it by putting it next to my bed.
Disgusting you are a bad mother your daughter didn’t sleep through because you rewarded her with milk every time she woke up also at one year old she far too old for a crib no baby over 5/6 months fits in a crib she shouldn’t even be in a cot at a year old she should be in a full size single bed
My baby is 5 months and she sleeps from 8 pm -6 am sometimes 7 am .. shower the baby before bed clean pjs and full feed and stay around them all my 3 babies are the same
My baby is 11 months still waking up at and if he feels like he isn’t being send it to you as quickly as possible he screams at the top of his Longs I have tried a lot of things and it’s really hard being a single mother and having a deal with this at nightl there are times where I literally have to just walk away and let him cry for two or three minutes.
You need to stop feeding him at night. Try to do a "go to bed ritual" thet includes food, bath and a song . After thet when he wakes up at night, if he crys hold him in your arms. when he relaxes immediately put him in bed so he knows it's bed time. After thet when in bed if he still struggles, put your hand on him till he calms down.. it's important to hold him whenever he crys to get him to feel secure. When he calms down immediately lay him back in bed. We need to help our babies learn that they can get themselfes go back to sleep without a parent's help. If we help a baby too much, he can develop bad sleeping habits that he will be dependent on and will only get worse with time. It's important to note thst every change that you do, weather it's feeding at night or teaching him to sleep on it's own, it's must be done gradually. This advise is only good for 5 month old babies or older. Before that, a baby is too young to be able to go all night without food or learn how to sleep on it's own.
Babies don't learn to stop crying and to sleep by themselves, they learn to stop waiting for the parent, they still need it they just know that they are not coming anymore. it's sad
Our baby is 13 months old now and it’s been a journey. So naps at this point are still very much a week-to-week thing, some weeks there consistent 1hr plus long naps and others its 30-40 mins. Nights got a whole lot better once we did sleep training AND got baby out of our room into crib around 8 months. Baby sleeps through the night pretty consistently now. It does get better/manageable it just takes time which I know may be hard to hear. My only suggestion would be to start sleep training as soon as it’s recommended.
@@hightimeskg Thank you for responding! I am happy to hear that it worked out for you! I don't wish for my baby to sleep through the night yet, it's just that he wakes up every 40-60 minutes at night also. Sometimes he has a 2h, other nights has a 4h stretch but rarely. So eventually you let him cry? How long did it take?
Well another solution is sleeping between the parents. the babies feel safe sleeping with parents as they can feel secure and warm around familiar people. Sometimes putting them in a crib in another room might when it's dark out can scare them. Sleep them next to you after a while if you want to sleep next to them they won't be willing anyway.
they should only sleep next to mother (preferably breastfeeding) as a baby - fathers don't have the same awareness and could roll on them. But yes, room-sharing at a minimum is very important. A side sleeper is a good option for those who don't want to bed share. No other mammal leaves their newborns on their own to sleep, and it's a very recent western idea for humans. Bed or room sharing makes it so much easier when you need to feed them as well if you are also breastfeeding because you barely even need to wake up.
@@vixen7774 this only happens when person has taken alcohol or other drugs, or are so incredibly tired that they end up co-sleeping in an unplanned manner. If you plan to co-sleep, you will have correct set up, and will not be that tired.
I was breastfeeding for my little one. she sleep alone when she was born but couldn't sleep through night. For the first three months she woke up every three or four hours. When she was five months old, she woke up one or two times for milk but it was not every night to sleep through the night. After feeding the milk then she could straight to bed. It was really tired. She doesn't like bottle milk. I heard bottle milk can sleep longer than breastfeeding but she didn't like power milk. I try the power milk when she was eight or night months old I should have watched this in that time then I can try. My girl is 21months old now. Tonight it is the first time I tried to train her to sleep alone complete without milk and co-sleeping. I tried to get her straight to bed when she started eight months old few times. She crying until 1:00am still not go to sleep. I couldn't leave her like that. So I put her to her own bed after she felt in sleep with me. I thought I should wait for her a bit older then do it again. So tonight I tried. She was crying in the beginning. It was quick she felt in sleep after half an hour and went inside the covering. I hope she could sleep without crying and through the night. In the day her nap is between 12pm-14pm, or 15pm-17pm. She couldn't sleep the same time that is the problem. Hope I change the routine can help a lot.
This is just sleep training. People do it or not. I do not believe in sleep training. I joined a group called "Beyond Sleep Training" with other mothers who do not let babies "cry it out."
I am seeing this comment now and I am so glad you posted this comment. The Beyond Sleep Training group has been a blessing for us. I cannot assert how traumatic cry it out is for babies :(
Just have bathtime everynight around 6pm then if your breastfeeding. Hot water (not burning then) keep it very warm and have them play 15 min No soap. Just water. Do this everynight. They should cluster feed once dried off in warm pjs.
Cosleep. Do some research, this crap is cruel, is isn’t biologically or anthropological normal. Baby wants mum, it’s primitive, it’s instinctual, the baby knows what he’s doing. Cosleeping and SIDS is unrelated so don’t worry about that, Japan has the highest cosleeping rates in the world with the lowest SIDS rates in the world. They’re unrelated! Cosleeping, soothe and rock them, breastmilk has chemicals specifically to make your baby sleep, they’re meant to fall asleep at the breast.
@@HackerActivistthat makes no sense. It doesn’t work that way I breastfeed and I know, he’s two and needs to quit. It’s hell. That won’t work, what you said or whatever even if it made sense.
To any parent doing this don't feel bad if you feel like you are neglecting your child you are teaching them and for those people that say this is neglect it is not just because the baby screaming doesn't mean he is in pain they scream like that because that all they know to do when they are hungry crappy or have a mild discomfort yes it hurts hearing your little one to cry or scream and our first instinct is to run to them and sooth them but if you want them to have better sleep and even eating habits to have to basically force them to be on a schedule and baby's are going to automatically get on a schedule but if you are consistent with a schedule for them like a feeding schedule and sleep schedule they do learn when they will be feed And when it their nap time but it hard for alot of parents because babies will want their milk when they want it and it ok to give it to them when ever they want it and it ok to let them sleep when they want to but than you can expect to be up all night with them to and if that randomness is to much for a parent than do a schedule but stick to it even if it hurts hearing them cry for you
”Take away the breast or the bottle”?! DUMB IDEA, never ever deny a baby its food or comfort. It’s also very cruel to just let the baby cry💔 The pain.. child abuse😢
It's not that bad you get used to it. If my son needs to eat in the middle of the night then I'm going to feed him. I haven't slept through the night in 8 months and I'm okay with that
My baby sleep a majority of the time when he was a newborn to about 3 or 4 months then he started waking up every couple of hours or less. I had a whole routine with sleep sounds, purple light, bottle but yet he still gets up to eat 😭 frequently..I’m suffering almost going crazy from a lack of sleep. I can’t let my baby cry he will wake everybody up. He sleeps with me he doesn’t have his own room so that’s another thing.
Step 1 (or 2) that Dana Obleman suggests says to make sure that a baby is well fed (not hungry) during a day. What If the baby is not a good eater? My son stopped being interested in food. When he wakes at night wanting me to breastfeed him, I can tell he's hungry because his stomach growls. Any advice?
Funny how there seems to be methods for getting your kid to sleep. We were lucky, our son has always been a good sleeper. We let him sleep with us in bed and later in his own bed. He never had to cry himself to sleep and he almost always sleeps through the night
That baby looks at least to be 12 months... He looks cold. Give that baby a blanket, babies love to cuddle and feel warm. He doesn't even have footies on! Cold feet suck! And lower his mattress.
exactly!!! short sleeves, no socks, no blanket, no mother, no nothing… poor baby!! I was thinking „just be there for your baby, they don‘t need to sleep through the night“
Omg thank you! I was wondering if anyone would notice that the crib looked like it was at the highest setting! That baby would fall out of the bed so easily!
What's up with people leaving their babies in different rooms?? Wtf they are so young they want to feel your warmth, your protection, why is this so normal to people?
My child’s sleeping prop is his pacifier if it falls out of his mouth and he can’t put it back. It’s so hard to do pacifier weaning and sleep training at the same time.
Currently doing the same thing girl 😭 today is night 5 and that regression is real😮, he slept for 8 hours the past 2 nights but today is hectic, typing this at 4 AM after we cried a lottttt
My baby only slept 2-3 hrs every night. He was so fussy and cried a lot. I was so tired that I thought I was gonna pass out. When he turned 7 weeks old, I finally gave in and bought snoo bassinet. Omg that night he slept 7hrs, woke up once to feed. He is now 3 months old. Every night he sleeps 10 hrs wakes up once to feed. I didn’t have to sleep train him. That bassinet worked like magic for my son😄
@@themcdermottway6912 SNOO is a responsive baby bassinet that boosts a baby's sleep by combining gentle rocking with soothing white noise and snug, safe swaddling. Rocking motion increases as needed. Very expensive tho... $1295 (I bought it when it was on sale $900) but for me it was worth it :)
This only works for older kids. My baby is 4 weeks and needs to eat every 3 hours. I just don’t know how to make him fall asleep, it takes hours and by that point it’s time to eat again. I’m dying
What if your baby will only nap for 30 min a few times a day? My guy is almost 4mo and he doesn't like to nap... and every morning around 4 he gets into a weird noisy uncomfortable sleep...
Just wandering if those parents that apply sleep training does atleast have thinking/wondering if that might impact childs mental health in a long term...
My grandson is a year old and still breast feeds. We are trying to ween him off . He screams at the top of his lungs. My baby was never a crier. I was lucky he slept through the night without crying and fussing. Myself have never experienced this type of thing. What tips for a 1 year old little boy.
It’s not bad advise. It is honestly just depends on what works best for you & your family. I have noticed that when we do co sleep he does sleep longer.. I do both though.. In his crib he sleep from 9-6 & other nights if he does wake up I honestly just bring him to bed with us and he’ll fall right back to sleep. I can put him in his crib through out the day alone and he’ll take his nap.. What I have found that works best for me.. is a routine & sticking to it daily.
Daniela Torres It is not bad advice but it needs to be done right. There is actually research based safe bed practices out there that even pediatricians agree on but don’t openly share bc baby sleeping alone and on back is the promoted safe sleep across the board in the US. And btw, with safe bedsharing baby is NOT to sleep between parents.
@@DanielaTorres-jz1hk Ps. You can co-sleep w/o bed-sharing. And you can absolutely do both safely-- it's a family choice. Won't be suitable for every family but it can also be a perfect option for other families.
Unfortunately, in the west people are brainwashed into the concept of training stuff. You can't find it in the other parts of the world. This can be literally damaging to a child. No one is saying that sacrifice yourself for your child but putting so much pressure on mothers in particular in regards to feeding or sleep is disturbing. Seriously!!!. A mother should be left to decide do she can use her own instinct to do what her heart says rather pressured her or convince her to do all this stuff. I am a mother myself, thankkkkkgodness I didn't let anyone ruin my mother instincts. Guys stay away from such stuff and do what feels right as a mother.
But let's face it....we all need a good night sleep for our physical and mental health. If you don't go to deep sleep for 30 days,your body and brain will experience depression .
I wouldn’t do this , just keep your baby in the same room with you , all they need is to feel safe not alone in a separate room waiting for them to self soothe really? 🤦🏽♀️😩
I don’t get it. Every time I put my baby to sleep he won’t fall into a deep enough sleep in the first place to even get to go to sleep for a little while. Nothing is working. If I don’t nurse him or hold him he won’t sleep in his bassinet. He naps fine during the day. But I don’t know if I need to shorten his naps or not or don’t nap at all. When I try to put him in the bassinet, the second his butt hits the bassinet he wakes up and cries and won’t stop until I pick him up and he won’t stop crying even if I stand over him rubbing his chest, he just won’t stop. My only option is to not sleep and nurse him. I tried to nurse and then read a book but he wasn’t awake enough to really care about it. And then I put him in the bassinet and the same thing happens- he won’t stop crying until I nurse or Rick him to sleep. Help I don’t get it. He’s almost 6 months old. And I keep waking up at 3, 4, 5, pm to start my day!!! That’s ridiculous. I hate waking up when it’s about to get dark!!!
Came across this UA-cam video after researching what the hell to do because my baby was waking up every hour!! I was so exhausted. I followed every step in this video and it completely changed my life. My 5month old is sleeping through the night after day 2. I definitely said to myself “every baby is different”. But i decided to give it a try and it worked.
If you’re a new mom, don’t be discouraged.
We are on day 3 . And here I’m up and my son is asleep😂🤦🏽♀️. He got me now up and he is sleeping lol
I don’t want to get discouraged but this is so hard. Since i left the hospital 2 months ago I haven’t been sleeping alright im tired
And dad
I am very exhausted my 7 months old baby is not sleeping at all wake in up at night every hour and she is not having naps in day time🤦♀️
Is there any advice that you can give me to help her to sleep well please?
What you done exactly to help your baby to sleep?
My son was sleeping 10-11 hours a night at about 4.5 months. It's such a blessing after going so long without having nights free. Now I can actually clean up the house, make dinner, sit on my bed. It's so convenient.
U have it easy
My son was sleeping perfectly at 4 months! Then the 4 month sleep regression started and I started breastfeeding him to sleep... And it got worse! When I saw this video, I followed the advise and after 3 nights he slept through the night again!!! Thank you so much, it changed our lives and we enjoyed the wake times even more :)
I haven't slept in almost 18 months and I'm pregnant. Pray for me.

@@ay3696 wtf
If it’s comfort for y‘all, when they turn 13-20, they will sleep like logs all the time. In the morning, afternoon, evening, be on tour through the night, go ahead sleeping, sleep in on Saturday and Sundays, not getting up before lunchtime. It will get better 🫣
😂
I never felt that sleeping all night will be a bless until I had a baby who wake me up every 2hours
OMG ! I NEED TO TRY THIS. I HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR 9 MONTHS 😥
Yeah... Letting a baby cry it out doesn't sit well with me. Sometimes my son can sleep through, other times he doesn't, when he does wake up and cry or moan he's communicating... Either too hot, or getting cold, may have peed through his diaper, a blocked nose, thirsty or just in need of some love and affection. He's 14months old now... I've never gotten the sense that he's testing us or being spoilt... It doesn't matter how tired my husband and I get sometimes, the needs of our little one needs to be met. We will have better sleep again somday if we are privileged to live.
This is why you check on them… if everything is fine.. what’s the problem?
Totally agree
“If we are privileged to live” there’s your problem right there. Your child cannot always come first, because then who is putting you first? Not your whiny child, that’s for damn sure. They are fed, they are cleaned, they have been read a boring story. Go. To. Sleep. 14 months is old enough to be able to self soothe. If mummy and daddy can’t sleep then useless baby isn’t going out to put food on the table.
@@nadinehart8624wow aren’t you just a great nurturing, patient, and kind person who seems like your parent’s tended to your needs and showed you unconditional love. No, not really….You are the reason people should understand what happens when you just let a baby cry…it produces people with this mindset. Yeah how dare a child who is learning how to regulate their emotions, express themselves, developing, teething, or having some form of issues they can’t communicate to you (of course because they are trying to learn to talk ) have the nerve to wake up or start crying at night, be whiny, need love, and reassurance. How would you like to be in a situation were you can’t communicate and something is wrong and someone is like cry me a river and go to bed! How dare I decide to have a baby and they are not convenient to my lifestyle or they don’t put me first? lol what? Seriously. Comments like this help you understand what happens when you don’t teach your child love, patience, and tend to them when they communicate …they grow into teenagers and adults that have issues. Because you were taught you are alone and can cry until you’re blue in the face …..You’re keeping me up kid no one cares about you so go to bed! Especially given the personality types that usually have sleep issues they need patience and love more than anything not being ignored. They will naturally learn to self soothe as brain development occurs without having to learn abandonment and trust issues. Not everyone needs to be a parent, your comment definitely proves that.
To all those saying proudly, no rocking, I want to say this: There is nothing wrong with rocking and cuddling to put a baby to sleep. Babies are not going to be babies forever. Don't let them cry themselves to sleep. They need to be held, cuddles, rocked and sung to! Also, don't try to make young babies sleep through the night. They need to eat in between.
@@SamanthaObrey This too shall pass. Just because of this, you cannot not rock or comfort a baby, sorry!
Comfort and connection will never spoil any child. Babies are not going to be babies forever.
@@mira6010 Well said!
This is wrong and you miss the point entirely. Sleeping through the night is learned behavior for babies. Rocking them or soothing them to sleep does not allow them to learn how to do it on their own. There’s plenty of time to rock and soothe when they are newborns. Once they are several months old, they need to start learning to self soothe.
And no, they don’t need to eat in the night once they reach a certain age, usually around 6 months, but some babies are good with sleep and will not wake up to feed at a younger age. The last thing any parent wants is a toddler that is totally dependent on a parent to sleep and nap. Whether that be sleeping in general, or sleeping in their own bed and room.
My husband sleep trained our 3 month old baby. For nights I wasn’t getting any sleep. This eventually led me to be depressed and sleep deprived. I couldn’t get things done or be a mommy during the day like I wanted to, because I was so sleepy! She would wake up every 15-30mins from 12am -8am. However, after he sleep trained her , I was getting so much sleep. Of course, she woke up once during the night for a breastfeeding snack. Moreover, it didn’t create any weird connection between me and my baby. She’s 4 1/2 years old now, and we’re inseparable ❤️
My baby started sleeping 11-12 hours straight when she turned 3 months. I made sure that i started a routine when she was 1 month old. I did the same thing at the same time every night and it worked like a magic! I do:
Bath time at 7
Made sure she’s well fed
Turn on white noise
Swaddle and dance her around for a bit until she fell asleep
Then put her down in her bassinet
I also make sure to give her a nap every 1 hour for an hour and that she’s well fed throughout the day.
When she got a little older I started giving her naps every 2 hours for an hour to 1 1/2 hours.
When she turned 6 months we moved her in her own room with the exact same routine except we stopped swaddling her at 4 months.
Bath time
Turn on white noise
Milk time until full
Dance her around
Then put her down in her crib
Let her fall asleep on her own
Only time she wakes up is when she’s not feeling well but that’s once in a blue moon.
She’s now 10 months and still sleeps 11-12 hours a night.
We do the same but baby only sleeps 3 hours at a time. I think luck factors in sometimes
My babe is a preemie so I’m always a little unsure of when to start certain things. I’m going to try this. At 6 weeks, she doesn’t sleep poorly and only gets two night feedings but she’s a super noisy sleeper that makes it challenging for us. Her sleep sounds similar to her waking.
@@sambito702 yeah my reaction was to laugh 😅 literally the exact same routine 🤷♀️ oh well!
Please, newborns are not meant to sleep through the night. Their stomach is tiny. They get hungry.
I feel a six month old is too young to sleep in a separate room. Some parents close the door too. Cannot agree with that.
Why did I start crying in the end? lol I loved this. im currently working on improving nights with my 1 year old. It's not joke. Bless your family.
I started writing stories for my train obsessed toddler who never wanted to go to bed. Just started recording audios weekly and releasing them on youtube. The premise is that the bed turns into a magic train once they close their eyes and each time they get to travel to a different part of the world. @
Awake two times a night?? My baby is awake every hour!

@@teleahmiranda3948 how old is ur baby?
I don’t have the heart to let my baby boy cry like that. New mothers are often told that once they’ve fed, burped and changed their baby, they should leave their baby alone to self soothe and cry because all their needs have been met.
One day I hope all new mothers will smile confidently and say , “ I gave birth to a baby and not just a digestive system. My baby has a brain that needs to learn to trust and a heart that needs love. I will meet all my baby’s needs emotionally, mental and physical and I will respond to every cry because crying is communication not manipulation.”
Nicely said, im a new mom of a 4m old and my heart breaks if she cries, for whatever reason. I always tried to be patient and soothe her. Now she only cries when hungry or tired, i think she got used to me having her back. Ugh language barriers :d
Catalina Sima at this age they can’t get used to something yet. They just vocalize. I think around or over a year is when they get used to something. I’m a mom of a 19 month old too. She was born 2 months early, at 31 weeks and only 1kg. So it does really break my heart cause she has been through a lot but man, she is now using that to get her way in everything if I’m being honest😅 I of course try to make her understand right from wrong but at this age they still don’t understand much... I just can’t wait until she can speak and so she understands that all I’m doing is keeping her healthy, safe and guid her, that’s why certain things aren’t allowed.
@@tima2553 i understand what you mean :D its just that i feel like she doesnt bother crying anymore, i don t even need to hold her, if she sees me around it seems to be enough for her to be calm
Yes! Yes! Yes! I don't get how many parents can just act so much against the needs of their infants and their own instincts and do sleep training. A baby CAN not know that everything is allright and mommy is just next door. Sleep training is teaching your child to give up because nobody will listen to his calls for help. So cruel. Our son just sleeps next to us and we all get enough sleep although he doesn't sleep 11 hours straight.
Papayaguave my son also sleeps next to me. It’s just so much easier for night feeds as well!
11 hours a night?!?!? To me that’s the equivalent of winning the lottery! My baby wakes up several times a night and never sleeps through the night :(
Try a sleep blanket and a bath about 7pm they will cluster feed right after the bath no soap needed just keep the water super warm and have them play 15 min. I switched bathtime to night because my little one would be up all night and day. Now she sleeps 12 hours and I get 2 naps in the day.

So jealous, but happy for you. We've tried everything we could think of.
Second to u! I also sleep trained both my girls when they were a month old.

@@wong-douetdorothy9131 what was your routine every night?
Must be nice I can do all that and she still won’t sleep more than 4 hours straight
The only way I could ever let the baby "cry it out", is in the case the mom feels like she has had enough. When I say had enough, I'm meaning that she puts the baby in the crib and shuts the door to walk away from her baby so she doesn't lose it or hurt the baby, or maybe she needs a break. That's the only way I could ever do that. I'm a mother of two (a six, and now 4.5 week year old), I've had to walk away before, but I've never let my babies cry themselves to sleep and never will.
Exactly! I left the room for my own sanity and baby's safety. But NEVER would I let him cry! 2-3 times a night looks pretty normal for that little one. They often just need love and reassurance! If you decide to get a child you have to care for it!
Ok karen
I think this is not true. But everyone can have their own opinion. I really wanted children, but that doesn’t mean i have to get them to sleep the whole day / night. My baby was 3 months old when i let her cry (ofcourse not super long). And i would go inside her room every time to calm her down, but she would fall a sleep in her own crib. It last for 1 month, and then she slept so good! Day.. and night. From 19.00-07.00. And over the day she slept really good as well.
Because she knew how to sleep by her own and she knew her crib felt safe.
I know parents that always get their babies to sleep, and now their older, and now they still have sleep problems with their child. I think that’s not good for the parents as well for the children. Because sleep is so important.
@@jaylo3678 you don't have to let your baby cry in order for it to learn how to fall asleep alone. My second son is 4 month now and he falls asleep in his own 90% of the time without me ever letting him cry,. It's much more work for the parents to do it cry free. I agree that sleep is so important for them. BUT developing basic trust is just as important. A baby that stops crying just gave up. It did not self soothe. But that's just my opinion.
I did the Cry it out last night . I couldn’t watch him😭 He is my Baby🥺🥺but yeah whenever i feel like its enough i’ll consider this method looks effective
My baby has been sleeping through the night since 3 months.. now shes 7 months and adjusting to sleep training with ease, after 10 mins she was down i guess I'm just lucky!
You are lucky. But I'm happy for you!
I wish!
Omg MINE TOO. She is 2 months only now, but have been sleeping for 8 hours straight.. Although it is from like 12 at night until 8 in the morning. I hope that doesn’t change when she’s older😭
Please advise how you got baby into this routine and what exactly you do. Thanks
My baby has always been a good night sleeper but she falls asleep on the breast. I feel like she relies on me to fall asleep and for that reason only takes 10 minute naps during the day when I attempt to put her down she instantly wakes up. She's now almost 5 months old, should I wait longer to sleep train her? Last night I tried to for night 2 and didn't get much sleep and she threw up all over the place. She was legit waking up screaming every hour 😩 Am I trying to fix something that's not really broken?
My baby has the same routine.. asleep by 7pm and wakes up at 5-6am... thankful 🙏🏼
Can you please tell me how your baby was put into this routine, I have a newborn.
Epic_R Shutterbug I didn’t have professional help but I have 4 kids and it’s been trial and error. I write down every time they eat and how much if breast feeding I write what breast and how long and if it’s formula I write how many oz. I also write down every diaper change, this helps figure out why they’re crying because at times it’s not hunger. Before bed I make sure I’ve given them their usual amount of formula and their diaper is changed and then slowly they’re full at night so they don’t wake up, it’s hard but usually by 1 month they’re sleeping from through the night, I let them pick their time though, my daughter was asleep by 7pm and my son who is 2 months now is midnight, slowly I’ll wake him during the day and change the hour but for now I just let him pick the time with his feedings. I wish you the best of luck, it’s not easy at first but it does get easier
@@stephy8183 awww thank you for getting back to me. I have a 2 week old and he sleep from 3pm to 8pm in a deep sleep, and winges moans all night long, constantly gets up every 1 n half to 2 hours for a feed, its exhausting.
Epic_R Shutterbug my mother in law suggested that you open the windows and let the light in and try to get him to stay awake by talking to him or maybe not snuggling him so warmly, when he goes to sleep at night you keep the room dark so they can tell the difference between night and day. This has always worked for me to get them to sleep more at night. It’s hard but it does get better! You got this and congratulations! Enjoy him because time flies 🥺😭
Babies wake up because they are either hungry, wet, sick or uncomfortable temperature wise. Dont ignore your child unless all these are sorted. Sometimes they just want to be held close. They are babies after all.
Unfortunately that creates a codependent relationship, very unhealthy. We would love to hold our children whenever they ask but sometimes we need to stop doing for them what they can do for themselves.
@@kitty2345 We are talking about babies here. Babies are by default dependent on their parents. They wont be babies forever.
@@kitty2345 eeeh…
Tips start at 1:31. Thank me with a like so more people would see it.
I don't see the problem. My baby sleeps next to me and when he wakes up I just breastfeed. I fall back asleep while doing it, and so does he. I don't even remember how many times he breastfeeds, because it doesn't bother me at all. And he's happy and relaxed. We both get enough sleep and he never had to get throught the traumatising experience of having to cry alone in the night. Btw, co-sleeping is perfectly safe for healthy infants if you keep your bed free of heavy pillows and thick blankets (just wear a warmer pyjama), the parents don't smoke and are not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. On the other hand, having a very young baby sleeping in a separate room is associated with higher SIDS rates.

We are happier since we allowed him to come to our bed when he wakes in the night. We all sleep more and since he woke less often knowing we are here and accessable.

@@ctcollinthib if it helps I read a book called "the gentle sleep book" and it's VERY normal for babies under 2 to wake frequently so don't feel defeated or that you are doing anything wrong. It's only the western countries that expect this from babies! Even things like sleeping in a crib in their own room. Once you let go of that expectation it's quite a comfort to know that it's just biological ok for your baby to need you at night x
The torture is real lmao
@@iambeezee i agree. I was furious just 2 months ago with my now 5 mo expecting her to sleep for long stretches. Since I gave in after informing myself, what baby’s sleep really is about, especially before they even hit 3 yo, I stopped being so worried about every night. Sure, my baby still wakes up 3-5x a night, but hey, she is breastfed, she needs to be comforted but that’s my role in her life, isn’t it? She first must be dependent to become independent in the end. Enjoy these “sleepless” nights, they grow up so fast and then we will be remembering those nights with tears in our eyes. If everything would be easy breeze, nothing would be special ♥️
My 10 month old sleeps 5 hours straight, gets up for 2 hours then sleeps 4 more hours. I've got to get him out of my bed so I can sleep better. To the crib he goes. Starting tonight!
Great video! Only thing that worked for my son was music. Only thing that put & kept him out.
I will say that my first child I didn’t sleep train because it was so hard and sad and she is 3 and STILL wakes up at least once through the night and I regretted not sleep training because I honestly felt like a zombie most of the time and felt like I couldn’t be the best mom because of my moodiness from not sleeping. So I sleep trained my second one and she sleeps like a dream, she sleeps better than my 3 year old lol and it only took like 3 days! No regrets here!
Helpful thanks
What did you do? I'm like a zombie now 😥
Sleep during the day make sure you open blinds and let the light in.
At night, make sure there are no lights on or noise. Try not to carry her at night. It should change within a week. I had the same problem and put the sound of white noise.
Yeah what did you do I’m a 🧟♂️ as well
I'm so distracted by how high that crib mattress is for how tall he is.
Currently watching at 4 AM while dad takes a turn with our 15 month old, who's been up for an hour now. Every night he's up from like 2-2:30 til 6 or 6:30 and I'm so done. Wasn't always this bad but boy this sucks 💀 gonna try this
Any feedback?
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 webin the same shoes I feel like one can go crazy
It’s torture and these little cocky parents are on here like “yeah my baby has been sleeping for 11 hours since 3 months” 🙄 screw them lol
@@tikaroxanne7286 I am trying that stupid Ferber method now with my 1 year old. I can't take it anymore.
😂😂 I have been watching while my baby baby crying and not going to sleep.
Yes research shows that its absolutely normal for babies to waking up at night as they don't have the same sleep cycle as adults. It's actually child abuse to allow a child crying for a prolonged period of time due to raised cortisol levels that are produced in the brain. This can cause irreversible brain damage. It's incredibly selfish for parents to make a child endure this stress just for their own comfort. It's incredible that Western country like the US and UK have made mothers think that night waking are abnormal and should be rectified. They want women not to be mothers but be contributing to the workforce and economy as soon as possible. Hence why all the gimmicks of breast pumping, baby led weaning, nursery and sleep training is to get the child independent as soon possible so the mother go back to work. Mother's are forced to put their children through what they don't deserve. Mother's are not being allowed to be actually mothers instead been left to feel guilty and torn between their careers and actually being a mother.
Seetal D wow. I have a 1 year old & a 7 week old. You couldn’t have said it better. 👍🏼
Oh please shut up. No one has ever died from crying
Well not everyone can be a stay at home mom. To say it is selfish of the parent is ridiculous because you can’t be a good mom while sleep deprived. And crying won’t cause brain damage
I agree
I agree with much of what you said except the "irreversible brain damage" and "baby-led weaning" bits. But parenting has become SO much about prioritizing the comfort of the parents. I am a huge proponent of self-care, of the concept of putting your oxygen mask on first, but this is NOT that. Many parents just don't want to be inconvenienced or for their life to shift.
My 9 month old baby sleeps at 9pm and wakes up 2 or 3am and gave him a bottle of milk. Then he will go back to sleep.
Maybe that baby is hungry and wants to drink milk
Babies need that bottle too to grow so sounds like you are doing exactly what baby needs. I just can’t do this to my baby. I’m talking about this method. It’s all out of convenience and not what’s good for the baby. I used to think the opposite but after reading up on some studies, I’m gona feed my baby. She goes back to sleep anyway
@@dinijay i am sad for the baby if they treat like that
Disgusting and unacceptable your baby should not be getting any milk day or night far too old that’s why your baby is waking up because you are rewarding him with milk stop giving him milk and he won’t wake up
@@dinijay rubbish no baby needs milk day or night at nine months old all night feeds should be stop by no later than 6/8 weeks old
My daughter is 19 month old and still does the same... I still give her milk when she wakes up... I’m torn on what to do...
My Baby sleeps in the room with us. He wakes up every 2-3 hours usually. I cannot allow my baby to cry non stop.
I share a room with my babe too. I feel like so much baby sleep advice is geared towards parents who don’t room share and it makes a lot of the advice hard to follow
The video didn’t advise to let baby cry non stop, she says to go in to soothe every 10 minutes.
Maybe once your baby has their own room, then you might be able to use this technique, if you wanted to.
Me too i will do anything to make him happy no way i let him cry i mean he well grow older in the end and sleep like us way the rush!!!
@@MultiNblue the rush is cuz lack of sleep causes learning problems later on. We all need good night sleep for healthy development and happiness. When mine was sleep trained ,the tantrums were gone,and before she was cranky like almost all day
I heard that there was something called sleep training. It is supposed to help your baby to get on the right schedule when it comes to sleeping. I want to know if anyone has heard about this.
yup and it works but its hard.
These methods in the video are terrible but there are other ways to support sleep in your baby. But expecting any baby under the age of one to sleep through the night on the parent's schedule is incredibly unwise.
I have twins. Tried all the sleep training strategies. 20 months old and they still never sleep. They wake each other up too 😂
Currently holding my 1 year old because he keeps waking up every 2 hours...but! This won't last forever
Omg you poor thing!! 😆😩
Lmao that fuqin sucks, sorry to hear that
Nothing is wrong with that, just two very happy twin babies.
Same here with my 19 month old. I never tried sleep training though.
I disagree. Babies are meant to be with their mom. It’s the most natural thing for them and if they wake up and are hungry FEED them. They will only be little for so long and then sleep through the night when ready. Part of being a parent is knowing that your schedule will change.
Eh, babies can get the love and attention during the day when everyone's awake. They don't need it when they're asleep.
I know, right? What the fuck is up with these uneducated idiots claiming to be experts or specialists in solving a problem that doesn’t exist. This child’s behaviour is normal, the mothers isn’t.
Claiming to be the “sleep boss” but adopting the Ferber method essentially of letting them cry it out is not biologically necessary or helpful
My baby sleeps 8-9 hours. I'm ok with that as long as she naps well during the day, but there are some days where the naps are too short. Just a lottery for me
That baby’s crib should have been lowered.
“We’re about to fall asleep mid interview” 🤣🤣
Why is it that The couple who got this help happen to be well off news journalist in the New York area? Couldn’t have them going to a regular families home? Only the entitled rich get help while the regular work and class stuff gets to watch a news article about it. What a joke.Look at that house, do you honestly feel bad for them?
I tried this and it worked. I have a 13 months old this worked in 2 days we only cried the first night.
Boarder, low noise light stimulation. No mobiles lights. Confotable, warm.
So sleeping training is basically let your baby crying and screaming for hours until he is so tired of crying that he sleeps. Then next day he gives up amd now he knows you will not be there when he cries. I dont know, I have a little baby and he is struggling with the sleep, I want to do everything that it is possible to help him and also the mother. But to just let the baby crying does not seems right to me. And for those who say it does not affected the relation with the kid, that is not a good parameter. Even parents that abuse the kids are still loved sometimes by the kids, the child is dependent and cannot fully express himself. I don't want to judge anyone, only who is suffering and struggling knows the pain and I wish best of luck to everyone.
Amazing that little Miles slept 11 hours on night 3! Great work! Although it may have been a tough couple of days, you're giving your little guy the gift of sleep. Amazing! xx
This breaks my heart
Sleep training. It has been very easy so far. She’s 15 months.
What method did you use?
Teach me
Every baby is different, obviously don’t expect a newborn to sleep through the night. My daughter didn’t sleep through the night until she was like 7 months. I didn’t sleep train her, she did that all by herself. If you have an older baby and they wake up multiple times a night they probably feel alone in their crib they get scared. My daughter hates her crib but she’s about to be 1 so I’m getting her used to it by putting it next to my bed.
Disgusting you are a bad mother your daughter didn’t sleep through because you rewarded her with milk every time she woke up also at one year old she far too old for a crib no baby over 5/6 months fits in a crib she shouldn’t even be in a cot at a year old she should be in a full size single bed
No, a 1 year old should NOT be in a bed.
Sounds easy but when it comes to action it is freaking hard! Hearing your baby cry for hours breaks my heart
My baby is 5 months and she sleeps from 8 pm -6 am sometimes 7 am .. shower the baby before bed clean pjs and full feed and stay around them all my 3 babies are the same
No feed at night
My baby is 11 months still waking up at and if he feels like he isn’t being send it to you as quickly as possible he screams at the top of his Longs I have tried a lot of things and it’s really hard being a single mother and having a deal with this at nightl there are times where I literally have to just walk away and let him cry for two or three minutes.
You need to stop feeding him at night. Try to do a "go to bed ritual" thet includes food, bath and a song . After thet when he wakes up at night, if he crys hold him in your arms. when he relaxes immediately put him in bed so he knows it's bed time. After thet when in bed if he still struggles, put your hand on him till he calms down.. it's important to hold him whenever he crys to get him to feel secure. When he calms down immediately lay him back in bed. We need to help our babies learn that they can get themselfes go back to sleep without a parent's help. If we help a baby too much, he can develop bad sleeping habits that he will be dependent on and will only get worse with time. It's important to note thst every change that you do, weather it's feeding at night or teaching him to sleep on it's own, it's must be done gradually. This advise is only good for 5 month old babies or older. Before that, a baby is too young to be able to go all night without food or learn how to sleep on it's own.
@@zilbi20 do you have children ?? & do you understand that every baby is different ?
Babies don't learn to stop crying and to sleep by themselves, they learn to stop waiting for the parent, they still need it they just know that they are not coming anymore. it's sad
Yeah right. It's cruel. I will never let my baby cry!!!!
@@melaniagrund9615 more cruel than after years and years of not being able go into deep sleep and have physical and mental problem cuz of it ?
am i the only one that’s like, get to the point i’m freaking tired.
My 5 month only sleeps around 30-40 min interval naps during the day and wakes almost every hour at night. HELP
I have the same problem now with my 4mo baby. How did it turn out for you?
Our baby is 13 months old now and it’s been a journey. So naps at this point are still very much a week-to-week thing, some weeks there consistent 1hr plus long naps and others its 30-40 mins. Nights got a whole lot better once we did sleep training AND got baby out of our room into crib around 8 months. Baby sleeps through the night pretty consistently now. It does get better/manageable it just takes time which I know may be hard to hear. My only suggestion would be to start sleep training as soon as it’s recommended.
@@hightimeskg Thank you for responding! I am happy to hear that it worked out for you!
I don't wish for my baby to sleep through the night yet, it's just that he wakes up every 40-60 minutes at night also. Sometimes he has a 2h, other nights has a 4h stretch but rarely.
So eventually you let him cry? How long did it take?
Please can you tell me step by step how you did the sleep training! I really can't seem to figure it out.
Well another solution is sleeping between the parents. the babies feel safe sleeping with parents as they can feel secure and warm around familiar people. Sometimes putting them in a crib in another room might when it's dark out can scare them. Sleep them next to you after a while if you want to sleep next to them they won't be willing anyway.
they should only sleep next to mother (preferably breastfeeding) as a baby - fathers don't have the same awareness and could roll on them.
But yes, room-sharing at a minimum is very important. A side sleeper is a good option for those who don't want to bed share.
No other mammal leaves their newborns on their own to sleep, and it's a very recent western idea for humans. Bed or room sharing makes it so much easier when you need to feed them as well if you are also breastfeeding because you barely even need to wake up.
@@trishna_6815 this is so right.
@@trishna_6815 look at all the cases were mothers have crushed their babies sleeping in the same bed don’t sleep with your babies
@@vixen7774 this only happens when person has taken alcohol or other drugs, or are so incredibly tired that they end up co-sleeping in an unplanned manner. If you plan to co-sleep, you will have correct set up, and will not be that tired.
I was breastfeeding for my little one. she sleep alone when she was born but couldn't sleep through night. For the first three months she woke up every three or four hours. When she was five months old, she woke up one or two times for milk but it was not every night to sleep through the night. After feeding the milk then she could straight to bed. It was really tired. She doesn't like bottle milk. I heard bottle milk can sleep longer than breastfeeding but she didn't like power milk. I try the power milk when she was eight or night months old I should have watched this in that time then I can try. My girl is 21months old now. Tonight it is the first time I tried to train her to sleep alone complete without milk and co-sleeping. I tried to get her straight to bed when she started eight months old few times. She crying until 1:00am still not go to sleep. I couldn't leave her like that. So I put her to her own bed after she felt in sleep with me. I thought I should wait for her a bit older then do it again. So tonight I tried. She was crying in the beginning. It was quick she felt in sleep after half an hour and went inside the covering. I hope she could sleep without crying and through the night. In the day her nap is between 12pm-14pm, or 15pm-17pm. She couldn't sleep the same time that is the problem. Hope I change the routine can help a lot.
Please, never make a newborn baby sleep alone in a separate room!
This is just sleep training. People do it or not. I do not believe in sleep training. I joined a group called "Beyond Sleep Training" with other mothers who do not let babies "cry it out."
I am seeing this comment now and I am so glad you posted this comment. The Beyond Sleep Training group has been a blessing for us. I cannot assert how traumatic cry it out is for babies :(
What about breastfeeding mommy?
Just have bathtime everynight around 6pm then if your breastfeeding. Hot water (not burning then) keep it very warm and have them play 15 min
No soap. Just water. Do this everynight. They should cluster feed once dried off in warm pjs.
Cosleep. Do some research, this crap is cruel, is isn’t biologically or anthropological normal. Baby wants mum, it’s primitive, it’s instinctual, the baby knows what he’s doing. Cosleeping and SIDS is unrelated so don’t worry about that, Japan has the highest cosleeping rates in the world with the lowest SIDS rates in the world. They’re unrelated! Cosleeping, soothe and rock them, breastmilk has chemicals specifically to make your baby sleep, they’re meant to fall asleep at the breast.
@@HackerActivistthat makes no sense. It doesn’t work that way I breastfeed and I know, he’s two and needs to quit. It’s hell. That won’t work, what you said or whatever even if it made sense.
Nice way of saying, "let em tough it out."
To any parent doing this don't feel bad if you feel like you are neglecting your child you are teaching them and for those people that say this is neglect it is not just because the baby screaming doesn't mean he is in pain they scream like that because that all they know to do when they are hungry crappy or have a mild discomfort yes it hurts hearing your little one to cry or scream and our first instinct is to run to them and sooth them but if you want them to have better sleep and even eating habits to have to basically force them to be on a schedule and baby's are going to automatically get on a schedule but if you are consistent with a schedule for them like a feeding schedule and sleep schedule they do learn when they will be feed And when it their nap time but it hard for alot of parents because babies will want their milk when they want it and it ok to give it to them when ever they want it and it ok to let them sleep when they want to but than you can expect to be up all night with them to and if that randomness is to much for a parent than do a schedule but stick to it even if it hurts hearing them cry for you
it should have been said this SHOULDN'T BE DONE with a baby before 5 or 6 months old. they can't self soothe before then.
”Take away the breast or the bottle”?! DUMB IDEA, never ever deny a baby its food or comfort. It’s also very cruel to just let the baby cry💔 The pain.. child abuse😢
It's not that bad you get used to it. If my son needs to eat in the middle of the night then I'm going to feed him. I haven't slept through the night in 8 months and I'm okay with that
Any good parent would do the same!
My baby sleep a majority of the time when he was a newborn to about 3 or 4 months then he started waking up every couple of hours or less. I had a whole routine with sleep sounds, purple light, bottle but yet he still gets up to eat 😭 frequently..I’m suffering almost going crazy from a lack of sleep. I can’t let my baby cry he will wake everybody up. He sleeps with me he doesn’t have his own room so that’s another thing.
Step 1 (or 2) that Dana Obleman suggests says to make sure that a baby is well fed (not hungry) during a day. What If the baby is not a good eater? My son stopped being interested in food. When he wakes at night wanting me to breastfeed him, I can tell he's hungry because his stomach growls. Any advice?
Funny how there seems to be methods for getting your kid to sleep. We were lucky, our son has always been a good sleeper. We let him sleep with us in bed and later in his own bed. He never had to cry himself to sleep and he almost always sleeps through the night
That baby looks at least to be 12 months... He looks cold. Give that baby a blanket, babies love to cuddle and feel warm. He doesn't even have footies on! Cold feet suck!
And lower his mattress.
exactly!!! short sleeves, no socks, no blanket, no mother, no nothing… poor baby!! I was thinking „just be there for your baby, they don‘t need to sleep through the night“
That crib is still on its highest setting and that’s SO dangerous!
Totally agree! Thinking maybe they did this for filming only.... Hopefully.
Ok karen
Omg thank you! I was wondering if anyone would notice that the crib looked like it was at the highest setting! That baby would fall out of the bed so easily!
This is basically the Ferber method lol
Why is the mattress so high?!
What's up with people leaving their babies in different rooms?? Wtf they are so young they want to feel your warmth, your protection, why is this so normal to people?
My baby sleeps from 1030 pm to 730 am and she is 8 months and I didnt starve her.
I am trying that now hopefully it works
This is child abuse! Baby will stop crying at the end because he realizes no one would help him and not because he stopped needing the help.
My child’s sleeping prop is his pacifier if it falls out of his mouth and he can’t put it back. It’s so hard to do pacifier weaning and sleep training at the same time.
Currently doing the same thing girl 😭 today is night 5 and that regression is real😮, he slept for 8 hours the past 2 nights but today is hectic, typing this at 4 AM after we cried a lottttt
How did it go for you?
I am too scared to try this!
I'm trying this
Just got twin 3 weeks ago, and in 4 hours I will be awake 24 hours straight, but then again anything for them.
Gheesh I have twins too. Very hard sometimes
My baby only slept 2-3 hrs every night. He was so fussy and cried a lot. I was so tired that I thought I was gonna pass out. When he turned 7 weeks old, I finally gave in and bought snoo bassinet. Omg that night he slept 7hrs, woke up once to feed. He is now 3 months old. Every night he sleeps 10 hrs wakes up once to feed. I didn’t have to sleep train him. That bassinet worked like magic for my son😄
Whats a snoo bassinet?
@@themcdermottway6912 SNOO is a responsive baby bassinet that boosts a baby's sleep by combining gentle rocking with soothing white noise and snug, safe swaddling. Rocking motion increases as needed. Very expensive tho... $1295 (I bought it when it was on sale $900) but for me it was worth it :)
I badly need this now 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Take the sloth picture down. I wouldn’t sleep with that either lol
This only works for older kids. My baby is 4 weeks and needs to eat every 3 hours. I just don’t know how to make him fall asleep, it takes hours and by that point it’s time to eat again. I’m dying
Not once mentioned how old her baby is... 🤔
What if your baby will only nap for 30 min a few times a day? My guy is almost 4mo and he doesn't like to nap... and every morning around 4 he gets into a weird noisy uncomfortable sleep...
Just wandering if those parents that apply sleep training does atleast have thinking/wondering if that might impact childs mental health in a long term...
My grandson is a year old and still breast feeds. We are trying to ween him off . He screams at the top of his lungs. My baby was never a crier. I was lucky he slept through the night without crying and fussing. Myself have never experienced this type of thing. What tips for a 1 year old little boy.
That is normal for a breastfed baby, shouldn’t wean before 2.5 years old either
Use Indian cradle and rock the cradle continuously for 10 to 15 minutes. If baby is not hungry he will most probably fall asleep
just co-sleep with your baby my son is asleep all night straight 12hours he usually awakes 7am.
PJ OG not a good advice. In this case i will get zero sleep thinking i will squeeze my baby or my husband 🤨
It’s not bad advise. It is honestly just depends on what works best for you & your family. I have noticed that when we do co sleep he does sleep longer.. I do both though.. In his crib he sleep from 9-6 & other nights if he does wake up I honestly just bring him to bed with us and he’ll fall right back to sleep. I can put him in his crib through out the day alone and he’ll take his nap.. What I have found that works best for me.. is a routine & sticking to it daily.
Daniela Torres It is not bad advice but it needs to be done right. There is actually research based safe bed practices out there that even pediatricians agree on but don’t openly share bc baby sleeping alone and on back is the promoted safe sleep across the board in the US.
And btw, with safe bedsharing baby is NOT to sleep between parents.
@@DanielaTorres-jz1hk Ps. You can co-sleep w/o bed-sharing. And you can absolutely do both safely-- it's a family choice. Won't be suitable for every family but it can also be a perfect option for other families.
Co-sleep is the best. It can also be a crib with opened side that is connected to the parents bed.

My only question is when putting the baby to sleep would you still use the night time bottle? Or does that stop as well ?
Unfortunately, in the west people are brainwashed into the concept of training stuff. You can't find it in the other parts of the world. This can be literally damaging to a child. No one is saying that sacrifice yourself for your child but putting so much pressure on mothers in particular in regards to feeding or sleep is disturbing. Seriously!!!. A mother should be left to decide do she can use her own instinct to do what her heart says rather pressured her or convince her to do all this stuff. I am a mother myself, thankkkkkgodness I didn't let anyone ruin my mother instincts. Guys stay away from such stuff and do what feels right as a mother.
But let's face it....we all need a good night sleep for our physical and mental health. If you don't go to deep sleep for 30 days,your body and brain will experience depression .
I wouldn’t do this , just keep your baby in the same room with you , all they need is to feel safe not alone in a separate room waiting for them to self soothe really? 🤦🏽♀️😩
Ok karen
I agree
I don’t get it. Every time I put my baby to sleep he won’t fall into a deep enough sleep in the first place to even get to go to sleep for a little while. Nothing is working. If I don’t nurse him or hold him he won’t sleep in his bassinet. He naps fine during the day. But I don’t know if I need to shorten his naps or not or don’t nap at all. When I try to put him in the bassinet, the second his butt hits the bassinet he wakes up and cries and won’t stop until I pick him up and he won’t stop crying even if I stand over him rubbing his chest, he just won’t stop. My only option is to not sleep and nurse him. I tried to nurse and then read a book but he wasn’t awake enough to really care about it. And then I put him in the bassinet and the same thing happens- he won’t stop crying until I nurse or Rick him to sleep. Help I don’t get it. He’s almost 6 months old. And I keep waking up at 3, 4, 5, pm to start my day!!! That’s ridiculous. I hate waking up when it’s about to get dark!!!
I like the method. It's like, "neglect that kid, it's cool" lol
