I want to sleep train but I am such a chicken. I wish I had the guts to do it because I am so tired everyday. I probably aged 5 years in the matter of 15 months. My husband is useless with my issue. Good grief. Sorry for my rant, I'm done now.
My son is 3 and would take an hour to put down for naps and bed time. That's 2 hours a day fighting with a toddler. It was an exhausting power struggle. Though I feel like there was a time he needed us to co-sleep with him, we felt that time had passed and the transition was rough! After viewing your video we decided to apply every tip/method you shared and just stick to it for a week. We are 1 week in and I cannot express how much happier of a home we have! The first 2 nights were the only nights we had to shut the door. Night 1- cried for almost an hour- eesh. Night 2- 30 min. Night 3- no crying and ever since then nada. No fight. He now knows when it's time to wake up due to the 'time to wake' light. He is sleeping through the night. It's AMAZING! So big thank you for putting this together and sharing.
AMAZING!! My 2.5yr old hasn't been sleeping through the night for about 6 months, but even worse since we had to remove the side of her cot when she learnt how to climb out. We've had a baby gate on her door so she couldn't get out, but she was waking and crying 3-7 times a night and needing to be resettled. I finally convinced my husband I was at my wits end and we needed to sleep train and put a lock on the door using this method with the sleep clock. WOW, last night was night 1. She used up her 4 chances pretty quickly so we locked the door. There was a lot of screaming and banging for about 10mins (that was hard) but after that we saw on the baby monitor she got back into bed and slept through the WHOLE NIGHT! We will continue and hopefully get to a point in the next few days where we can leave the door open. Thank you!
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. @
So when you have to close the door, you keep it closed forever until morning time? No matter how long they cry? Do you talk to the through the door every once in a while or anything?
This is great information, but it took you almost 15 minutes to get to the point. It couldve been at least 10 min shorter. Thanks for putting this together.
Owen McGurk thx for your constructive feedback. This was a hard one for me to get right into bc some of the tactics felt extreme to me as a first time mom and wanted to set that up! But I hear you!
My 17 month old was fully sleep trained & she slept in her own room in her cot. I recently tried to take away the dummy from her cold turkey and let her cry it out. Unfortunately, this did not go too well. She became very aggressive and dangerous and suddenly was trying to climb out of her cot. I finally caved and gave her the dummy back for bedtime only. Unfortunately this has completely ruined her sleep routine and she no longer wants anything to do with her room or her cot. I am so distraught that I am back to square one. With baby number 2 on the way, this could not be worse timing!
I don't think I'm your intended target audience (I'm the dad) but my wife started our daughter (first and only child so far) when she was a baby for nursing accessibility and when she stopped nursing was not getting enough sleep. I watched a similar video to sleep train the baby in a crib and did that with my daughter when my wife was away for a few days on work. When she came home and got a real full night sleep she couldn't believe it! Now, my daughter is about 2.5 years old and began co-sleeping with us after she climbed out of her crib. We get her a bed and she only sleeps in it when one of us sleeps with her in it. This method of treating the whole room like a crib makes a lot of sense. I am going to give it a go this weekend when my wife is away on work again. Of course this should work at home but what about when traveling? Should these rules and set bed times still be enforced say when visiting the in-laws/grandparents?
The chart sounds great, but my son is only 22 months and he doesn't really understand what we're saying yet. Is there anything else we can do for younger children?
My 3 year old doesn’t sleep until I lay down next to him with him drinking milk while touching my tummy 😭 would this technique work out with him ? because I’m suffering from him waking up at least twice and can’t go back to sleep until he touches my tummy 💔
I love this video! My 2.5 year old wakes up multiple times a night still. I feel like I get about 3 hours of consecutive sleep. He is so grumpy during the day and I do realize he is mostly just TIRED! I’ve tried so many things. I love how she says their bedroom is a crib and to think of it that way. I’m making that night time based sticker chart as soon as I wake up tomorrow 🤣😭❤️ Side note I love your son’s name, Leon! My son’s name is Leonardo, we call him Leo! So cute
I'm glad this particular method and trainer worked for you. But I hired her, and found her to be a huge waste of money. She wasn't helpful at all...just a caution for future viewers
How can I accomplish this with another child in the room? The last couple of nights I’ve attempted to put my 3 yr old to bed and leave the room only to have her talking or playing with her big brother.
amoralavenezolana1 if you listen to the whole video you hear it’s a tactic that usually only needs to be used 1x. It’s not for everyone but worked wonders for us and it was taken off immediately after the exercise
Ami, Did you put a baby gate up so he couldn’t roam the house? My concern is the safety. I could put a baby gate to the kitchen so at least I know she can’t get into the knives and stuff but in the living room there are a lot of things that she can climb. I don’t know how well I will sleep knowing her door is open lol... but I am desperate because we are going on a month of her waking 2 to 3 times a night screaming
This is great info. Struggling now and trying so hard! My biggest question is what happens with kids who not only cry but also pound on the door and throw things at the door? We’ve taken his toys and things that he can throw out but he’ll still kick and hit the door like crazy.
Try applauding him when he goes to bed or giving him “praise” when he lays in his bed. Let him know that you are proud of him when he sleeps. Or try rewarding with a cookie at bedtime. When he kicks the door or whatever- show him the cookie but tell him he can’t have it since he kicked the door. That way he knows that you don’t like when he dies that and you take the reward away
@@Thegarciasjourney oh man never use food as a reward. There's obviously other issues going on if they are kicking a door. We dont know the whole story.
@@amirawal Agreed. I watched the whole thing, then there was about 10mins of it that I got my hubby to watch so he knew what we were going to be doing.
Technique starts around 12. 00mins in
Thanks!!!!!
Thankyouuu
Thank youuuuu b/c she babbling way to much and not getting to the point
Omg... like thanks 🤦🏽♀️ 😂
Gracias!
Night sleep training part is at 20:00

My son is about to turn 3 and I want to try this. What light did you use?

Where can we find your youtube stories?
So when you have to close the door, you keep it closed forever until morning time? No matter how long they cry? Do you talk to the through the door every once in a while or anything?

Is there an update?

Such a looong introduction, go straight to the point girls
😂
Right?!
The chart sounds great, but my son is only 22 months and he doesn't really understand what we're saying yet. Is there anything else we can do for younger children?
Yes, wait until he gets older.
So hard to really understand when two voices at same time🤦🏻♀️
My 3 year old doesn’t sleep until I lay down next to him with him drinking milk while touching my tummy 😭 would this technique work out with him ? because I’m suffering from him waking up at least twice and can’t go back to sleep until he touches my tummy 💔
What if the toddler does not speak or respond much to talking.
I love this video! My 2.5 year old wakes up multiple times a night still. I feel like I get about 3 hours of consecutive sleep.

How’s she doing now I’m in the same position
what do you do if your child kicks the door / walls when the door is closed ?
Do you find when a toddler is an only child it's more difficult and the mommy daddy need is more
I'm glad this particular method and trainer worked for you. But I hired her, and found her to be a huge waste of money. She wasn't helpful at all...just a caution for future viewers
What happens when you have to close the door do you let them cry it out until they fall asleep?
If they don’t come out of their room, do you leave their door open all night?
Any advise for 16 month old? I’m not sure my daughter would get all of this? The stickers the locked door. Am I wrong?
I've been told to not try this until they are two and a half, that a two-year-old is too young to understand. Is that true?
I dunno about this. I guess there are a ton of way to do something but there has to be a better way. Glad it worked for you though.
It's a fire hazard to sleep with doors open. Can you advise?
Does this work with a 2.5 year old ?
What I you always close the door? It's safety for me
You're amazing thank you for making this video! X
Hi do you think this will work with my 2 1/2 year old?
How can I accomplish this with another child in the room? The last couple of nights I’ve attempted to put my 3 yr old to bed and leave the room only to have her talking or playing with her big brother.
Emely Bryan great question, not sure how it works with 2 to a room. Definitely one for Natalie and you can find her @babysleeptrainer on IG to DM her
That's crazy😏 locking a door
amoralavenezolana1 if you listen to the whole video you hear it’s a tactic that usually only needs to be used 1x. It’s not for everyone but worked wonders for us and it was taken off immediately after the exercise
This is literally giving me BIG TIME
Yay I can’t wait to share with with my mom friends ❤️
Ami, Did you put a baby gate up so he couldn’t roam the house? My concern is the safety.

12-13 mins in before they talk about it.
This is great info. Struggling now and trying so hard! My biggest question is what happens with kids who not only cry but also pound on the door and throw things at the door? We’ve taken his toys and things that he can throw out but he’ll still kick and hit the door like crazy.
That's where I'm at. Throwing things, turning on all lights.
Ohh. It's not my kid only then. Other parents are suffering the same
My kid. RN. I'm afraid he is going to break the door 😭
Try applauding him when he goes to bed or giving him “praise” when he lays in his bed. Let him know that you are proud of him when he sleeps. Or try rewarding with a cookie at bedtime. When he kicks the door or whatever- show him the cookie but tell him he can’t have it since he kicked the door. That way he knows that you don’t like when he dies that and you take the reward away
@@Thegarciasjourney oh man never use food as a reward. There's obviously other issues going on if they are kicking a door. We dont know the whole story.
Omg edit this video down to the actual information
Lot of info was covered felt it was all important especially for first time parents going through this
@@amirawal Agreed. I watched the whole thing, then there was about 10mins of it that I got my hubby to watch so he knew what we were going to be doing.
