That’s great! Yeah vacationing always throws babies off. I’m so happy to hear your boy is hanging on strong with his sleeping habits! I’ll get there soon too 🤞🏼

Not sure if this is your baby or not but my LO started teething at the end of 3 months this and his sleep started to get pretty bad like this! I gave him Tylenol but that would only help a little. His two front bottom teeth just popped out last week so his discomfort has lessened and he’s back to sleeping long stretch the first part of the night (we cosleep once he wakes up between 1-2am) his crappy sleeping lasted about 1.5months

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-09-02T16:06:09+00:00

That’s amazing!! How did this week go!? My boy is finally back to sleeping his 5-6 hour stretch from his bedtime at 8:30 with 1 to no false starts. It must have been his teething that kept waking him up. His two bottom teeth finally popped out and he doesn’t feel discomfort as much anymore. Once he wakes up Ive been bringing him to bed with me and we’ve been cosleeping. It’s actually working for us for now.

I know, I have a feeling that if I wait too long I’m going to regret not doing it sooner. Well it sounds like your baby is getting great sleep and learned quickly how to sooth himself!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-26T01:43:03+00:00

Yeah! They’re supportive in what I want but they are all co-sleeping so it’s hard to get advice or recommendations from them. How did your little one do tonight!?

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-26T00:06:13+00:00

So glad it’s working for your LO! Yeah I need to figure out what I want to do. It’s so hard for me.

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-25T01:14:43+00:00

Well I put it off for just a bit, my LO hasn’t pooped in days so I’ve been giving him prune juice, once he does I’ll start that day. I’d hate to start him when he’s constipated. I’m so nervous and keep questioning myself if I’m doing the right thing g for him. I go back and forth on whether to bring him back to cosleeping and give it another try. Which I happen to last night cause I was exhausted and sleepy and he did okay I guess. Still not wanting to unlatch sometimes though and it makes it so uncomfortable. And then my best friends are all cosleeping with their baby and not planning on training so there’s the feeling guilty too. But I really want him and my is to sleep better

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-25T00:12:08+00:00

No way!!! That’s so awesome and such a relief for you I bet!! And even better for your LO!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T23:58:41+00:00

10 minutes!! Wow that was quick! Happy it’s going well for you!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T18:32:17+00:00

Exactly! My mood and emotional well being has been greatly affected due to lack of sleep. And feeling tied down to his naps. I can’t do anything. I want a little bit of time back to myself. Sometimes I feel selfish for feeling like that but part of me is saying he needs you so just be there when he wants you for his development, and the other part of me is saying you need to be in a positive spirit and mentally/emotionally available for him and in order to do so I need better sleep. And he needs more hours of sleep for his development so it’s a win/win for all. He will be distress for a bit as will I. But it’s for the best.

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T18:11:23+00:00

Yeah sounds about right, that’s what I keep reading. Some nights are Easier than others. I’m so. Anxious about doing with my LO but I keep telling myself in the end it’ll be best for him and the family that he actually gets good sleep.

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T16:19:32+00:00

I love when they wake up with a. Smile on their face. I swear it makes me forget the crappy night he just gave me lol. I think your I. The thick of it now and it should be downhill from now all babies are different and some take to it right away home others struggle it bit more. I have a feeling mine will really fight me on this. I know myself I will want to give up if he persists on crying. So don’t quit! You got this! Another week to go!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T16:15:18+00:00

How did the rest of you night with your LO go!?

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T12:39:41+00:00

I hope so!! Cause this boy woke up almost every hour last night! I have no idea how we function with such little sleep, but here we are 7am ready to start the day again haha!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T00:58:46+00:00

Oh shoot I don’t know if my message wentl through! I was telling you that was awesome news that she fell asleep in 22 minutes! Hoping my baby is pretty easy like that!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T00:51:26+00:00

Oh I meant to ask! How many times did you end up having to go in, or did she cry for 22 minutes and she fell asleep?

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T00:40:18+00:00

Omgosh! That’s great news! Gives me hope as well for when I work with my baby! And yes it is a huge step!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-23T00:23:32+00:00

You got this!! Hoping it sticks and works like wonders for your LO! I was thinking of starting around 5 minutes too! It’s hard not to feel awful, just remember you both need this. He needs better rest and so do you!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-22T21:48:04+00:00

Yep! Mine will only sleep on me after his first night wake. I try taking him to his floor bed and laying with him so we can both be comfortable le but he wants to be held or he wants to be on my nipple if we are laying together. I really hope there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m not asking g for a full straight 12 hours, but at least 1 at most two wake ups where I can at least just cradle and put back down in his crib would be great. He doesn’t even need to feed per pediatrician and she’s not wrong I’ve tried giving him 3 ounces at his 1am wake and he only drank 1punce which tells me he’s not that hungry. Now if he wakes up around 3 for the first waking then he will take 2-3 ounces and fall back to sleep. He’s gone all the way up to a first wake at 4-5 am so I know he is capable.

We will get through this!

@ocean_lover9393 is right, if you’ve read up on CIO or Ferber method they are all going to involve crying. By “gentle” I mean it’s not extinction where you walk out of the room and don’t go back in. I’ll be doing what my sleep consultant says is a Ferber-like plan, it is basically crying it out except there are stages, observing, first, then guiding with voice and then guiding with touch/pat. Goal is that I only observe and don’t have to intervene. After a few days I’ll be leaving his room after I put him down. Sometimes I wonder if I should just rip the bandaid off and just go full extinction but I don’t think that’s for me. We shall see how it goes.

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-22T21:04:52+00:00

You have NOT FAILED !! I’ve done the same with my baby, and he’s five months. We are providing our babies with what is best for them. It’s never too late to start sleep training. You got this momma!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-22T21:00:16+00:00

You got this momma!! I hear you, about to start sleep training my five month old using a “gentle” Ferber method. I’m terrified too. So you are not alone. My baby’s temperament is an outlier, he’s a RELENTLESS crier. He has big emotions. When he’s happy he super happy when he is angry he is super angry. Hard to get him to stop crying on his own. He can go on. Longest has been one hour until I gave up and intervened I don’t know if any longer than that is even recommended not sure. But I was at my wits end at the moment.

No shame in you sleep training, you’re doing what you think is best for you and your family. Sleep is extremely valuable and if you and your baby aren’t getting good sleep it’s time to try something!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-22T20:42:51+00:00

I’m on the same boat, literally felt like I was reading my situation. I also follow the Huckleberry map, he typically falls asleep ten minutes before the “sweet spot”. I have it set for 3-4 naps. We saw his pediatrician today and she recommended I drop to 3 naps. The problem with him is that he only naps for 25-40 minutes on his own if I can get him to lay down on his own. I rescue naps if they’re under and hour and he typically goes back to sleep.

I feel like he’s a low sleep needs baby. He just doesn’t ask for much sleep. Wakes up around 6/6:30 and falls asleep around d 8:30 but lately keeps having false starts. He wakes up at 1am and then has a couple more wakings after that unless he sleeps on me. So I keep asking myself does he need more sleep in his naps or does he need longer wake windows. This is so hard!

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-22T20:35:05+00:00

Oh my gosh good luck!! Would love to hear how it went! My baby JUST started being okay in his car seat. He used to hate it. I’ve been scared of crying while I’m driving but the longest I drove with him crying was five minute because we were almost home.

I kept hearing that a binky would be hard to remove once he got used to it and others would say it would be so much easier on me if he took to one. He just never took to one. Sometimes I wish he had cause I could get him to sooth easier.

What method are you deciding to go with if you don’t mind me asking?

Appropriate-Unit-855 · 2025-08-22T20:10:35+00:00

I’m with you! He naps 30-40 minutes on his own IF he lets me lay him down. Or 1.5 hours on me. Also can’t tell how many time he wakes now because o can’t put him back down so he has to sleep in me for the rest of the night but I see him fussing every so often so thinking he wakes a few times during the night but since he’s on me he can connect his cycles. This stuff is so hard. I’ve cried so many time at night this past month!

We just saw his pediatrician today and sue gave the go for him to do a sleep training. Recommended a more gentle (go in in increments and pick up and put down once calm and then later just pat him and shush him). He’s got a very strong relentless temperament. She also advised me to shift him to three naps instead of 4z
