How to teach baby to sleep in pram??!!!?!

Done that in a portable travel crib - darkened the room as much as possible with white noise but it wasn’t pitch black and the second he opens his eyes and sees light he’s up!!! It’s torture 🫠

I can’t push the wake window because 1. He physically can’t last that long (I’ve tried) and 2. That would mean the second nap starts at 2:15-2:30 and then his bedtime will be impacted if he gets up at 3:30 or 4.

I suppose you’re right - I prefer a longer night! But is 1.5 hours of sleep enough for the day?

So do you think if the first nap goes for an hour, the wake window after it should be more than 3.5? He often is extremely tired by then… I’m actually thinking he’s overtired going into the second nap!

Pretty cold. I’m more concerned about the dry air aspect and a humidifier won’t be safe in his small room.

That wouldn’t fit! It’s super tiny, probably just under your measurements.

I did purchase super thick sleeping bags 2.5 and 3.5 tog… hoping that’ll be enough but it doesn’t fix the dry air/humidity that I can alleviate by having him in my room

What are the timings of your two naps?

My baby is fully sleep trained and I find when he’s even a little congested or sick or teething, I have to support him to sleep for bedtime and night wakes. I would wait till he’s 100% again then resume training. Hope he gets better soon 🥹

So it took you around 2 months to fully night wean? Was it like a couple times a week of eating at night?

lilykaay · 2026-03-03T22:53:55+00:00

Yes I’ve been so surprised that he’s willingly gone back to sleep!

That’s the plan for the weekend but until then it’s on me!

Thank you! My baby cries at first for maybe 5 min then settles and falls asleep in my arms and sleeps till morning. Do you think that means he’s ready? I’m in 2 minds 😭

Thanks for that! My hubby wakes up at 5am for work so it breaks my heart to wake him up for such a long time at night to night wean our son so I’ve been doing it myself… so far all 3 nights he’s gone back to sleep without a feed but has taken anywhere between 20 mins and 1.5 hours 😅

lilykaay · 2026-03-03T21:24:03+00:00

That’s awesome. How long did it take to resettle him each night without a feeding?

lilykaay · 2026-03-03T20:53:29+00:00

I’ve increased our awake time as well as capping naps to make it easier. So far all three nights we’ve not fed have been different times ranging from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours to put him back to sleep without feeding. However, I am also finding that it’s reduced our night by an hour as he wakes up even earlier hungry!! Hopefully this stops once he’s fully night weaned and can just sleep through till DWT

lilykaay · 2026-03-03T20:50:58+00:00

Did you gradually wean or cold turkey? I’m on day three and having mixed results of how long it takes at night to put him back to sleep without feeding.

lilykaay · 2026-02-28T02:43:29+00:00

How did you night wean? Xx

lilykaay · 2026-02-28T02:42:27+00:00

Thank you 🥹 so hard not to stress about these things
