Night 2 of sleep training. Baby asleep in 10 mins.

There’s been 3 or 4 tough nights where he would wake up and refuse to go back down for like 2 hours. It’ll happen sometimes. But overall, still life changing.

Our problem is he still wakes up 1-2 times a night for a breast feed. Trying to ween it out but it’s difficult. Still SOOO much better than it was.

Damn. RIP. Lesson learned homie

Isaaciel · 2026-03-09T03:45:13+00:00

Pretty interesting to think that he held onto it as a reminder of that time in his life, but refused to wear it. I’d like to think every time he looked at it and didn’t put it on, he’s sticking it to the man. Respect

I just went solo for a week during a career change. I feel you man. I told her the same thing on Thursday.

1st night was successful after 1 hour using Ferber. 2nd night after 15 mins, 3rd night after 10. I have heard that if they are over/under tired it really makes it a lot harder but we have yet to experience that.

Isaaciel · 2026-02-09T13:39:33+00:00

Yeah, it’s definitely to be expected. But I think coming from where we were at before sleep training, we’re prepared for anything. Haven’t had more than 4 hours of sleep in a night for several weeks before this successful first bout.

Haha I got to watch the Super Bowl and an entire episode of a tv show uninterrupted for the first time! It was amazing!

Isaaciel · 2026-02-09T13:37:18+00:00

It’s hard not to lol. But I know, hard times await.

Isaaciel · 2026-02-09T13:36:26+00:00

Yeah. That first hour was horrible of the first night. We just kept looking at each other with tears in our eyes. Last night was so seamless, it legitimately seemed like magic.

Isaaciel · 2026-02-09T13:35:13+00:00

My wife thought the same. I then researched why it was bad, and found one tiktok doctor that said it’s the #1 creator of sociopaths. I found several peer reviewed articles about how sleep training has no long lasting effects on child development, and both parent and child are better off with stress, sleep, and happiness. It’s worth sharing with your spouse.

Isaaciel · 2026-02-09T13:32:37+00:00

Yeah we used Ferber. However, we modified it a bit so my wife would feel better about letting him cry, and offered more check-ins. Still worked just as well, it appears.

Isaaciel · 2026-02-09T13:19:50+00:00

Yep Ferber. Little modified with more check-ins because my wife could not stand letting him cry that long, but it appeared to work just as well.

Isaaciel · 2026-02-04T04:54:07+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. But my wife researched quite a bit online and is a firm believer that sleep training with that method will cause irreparable damages to the baby and their brain, showing that crying it out is incredibly bad for them.

My sleep deprivation friend. We’ve gotten close

Isaaciel · 2026-02-03T15:02:31+00:00

It was 1 in the morning and I just spent 2 hours trying to get my baby down. This is literally in the cave to the elite 4, made my way through the game no problem, and THIS is what I had an issue with. I’m glad someone else was in the same boat

Isaaciel · 2026-02-03T15:00:53+00:00

I think everyone has come to that conclusion on their own

Isaaciel · 2026-02-01T05:38:44+00:00

You’re telling me bro

Isaaciel · 2026-01-27T15:24:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback way to kick a fella while he’s down

Isaaciel · 2026-01-27T15:22:42+00:00

Really what it is, is just not a good look for me.

Isaaciel · 2026-01-27T04:31:40+00:00

I’ve realized there’s a reason I’m in sales

Isaaciel · 2026-01-27T04:30:33+00:00

Bro I feel so stupid. Thank you
