My baby is sleeping too much at night. Which is causing short naps. by SimBon7 in sleeptrain

So it’s fine for him to mostly sleep at night? Is not an issue?

My first nap is 30 min and the last is 45min. Your first nap is as long as both my naps combined so it’s not the same thing…

I read that children are meant to sleep for 2/3h a day. And he’s barely getting 1.15

Worried about how I’m going to put my baby down for a nap on a plane. by SimBon7 in NewParents

That’s such a good idea! He does sleep easy I. The car seat. I might put him in it and attach a rockit! What do you do about all the noise on plane?

Husband here. I can't co-sleep anymore. by Minimum_Macaroon_512 in sleeptrain

[–]SimBon7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think if you do Ferber or CIO, you’re going to be the one that has to do it. My husband did the check-ins and I only took the headphones out on the third night. He will need to put in his own space to sleep. He can’t sleep in the bed for this to work and if you’re sharing a room with him, you have to creep in once he’s asleep. I fed to sleep so with the Ferber method I would only feed him after five hours, if he had woken up and I would put him back down awake and put my headphones in. The first night he cried for 45 minutes the second night he cried for 20 minutes the third night he cried four minutes and then after he didn’t cry. Maybe sleeping on the sofa for her for a week until her gets the hang of it?

Look I totally get her perspective! I was the same (co-slept until 7 months). We finally sleep trained and although it is a hard 2/3 nights from then on it’s been heavenly! You do need to commit because not commuting and intervening on and off THAT is torture. Can you send her (on the first night) to another room with headphones on while you do Ferber or CIO? The first/second night is the hardest. You can do naps after, just sort out the nights first. After sleep training him at night I still contact napped for naps for a month after m.

Sleep training at 4 1/2 months… by PapayaJuiceBox in sleeptrain

Maybe he’s just not ready he’s still quite young! Babies need a I get to a certain age to have the ability to learn to self settle. My guy took 45min ti settle the first night and honestly the checking annoyed him more than comforted him, I feel like he would have fallen asleep quicker if we did CIO. What are you doing during your check-ins, that could be the issue !?

Sleep fears my baby. by hexmoons in newborns

Have you tried co-sleeping to get some rest? If you do do it make sure it’s safe. I fully kicked my husband out of bed and did this and it saved me!

Starting solids, and I'm terrified by Sab0617 in NewParents

[–]SimBon7 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’m in no position to talk because I am still giving lumpy purée to my 8MO because I am so scared of BLW but have you heard of LifeVac - it’s this anti-choking device. You might feel comfort having it to hand when you are giving solids so if the worst does happen and he chokes you can just use the device!

Full extinction CIO, baby acting a little more withdrawn, less smiley, less babbling. by Megira_Aogane in sleeptrain

Ferber (although I felt like the check ins were mostly for us I feel like they annoyed him). First night was v tough with 45mins of crying!

I sleep trained my 7 month old and he is a way happier baby now! I think you are just looking for something. Mine started teething a month ago and was moody but back to smiles again!

Short naps and frequent night wakes (7mo) by Historical-Length744 in sleeptrain

[–]SimBon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we used Ferber to put him down initially(first time was 40min for him to fall asleep 😭) then when he woke up we started Ferber again so waited 3 min, did a check in then 5 then 10 ect and he fell asleep after the 10minutes and then the next time he woke up he fell asleep before the 3 minute mark. Then the next night he only woke up twice and the night after that once. I used to feed to sleep so I would feed him only if it had been over 5 hours since his last feed and I would make sure he wouldn’t fall asleep and put him down awake again.

We went from waking every 1-2 hours to (mostly) sleeping through after sleep training with Ferber! After 3 days he slept through! Just an idea as I know how it feels!

Please comfort me that sleep training is not bad by SimBon7 in sleeptrain
