What was your sleep training schedule? My bf is trying it with our son. But I dont think he really…

Even sleep training advocates say not to start until after 6 months. If you choose to do so, I highly recommend researching and knowing what you’re doing as it can harm your child.

@spookylyn, Yep!! So worth the money. I bought this and swear by it.

I would wait. He'll sleep through eventually he's just a baby.

@laniejay, is totally right, and I don’t believe we really started sleep training till about 11 months. I’d done quite a bit of reading in the months leading up to it also.

@spookylyn, Yep I sure do, and I also have the baby on the block series. I saved up my plum points so long and ordered it on the chapters online forum. I prefer shopping online then driving to red deer to chapters haha

I started sleep training all three of mine within a few weeks but it wasn’t anything strict. Basically just starting a routine of eat, play, sleep at the same times. But if they were hungry and it wasn’t “on schedule” I fed them and just adjusted from there. No cry it out or anything like that. It’s important to watch their sleep cues and put them down for a nap or bed before they get overtired, because then it’s a nightmare.

@beakymcspence, @spookylyn, what is the topic of their technique if you know what I'm trying to ask. I don't know how to word my question. What's this technique about

My sons bedtime is around 11:30pm and he sleeps till 11:30am with a feed before sleeping , a feed around 5:30am and a feed at around 8:30am and when he wakes up. From there he’s awake for about 1.5-2 hrs before nap , so anytime it’s been 1.5-2 hrs I get him and cuddle and ready to nap. Sometimes he needs to eat to sleep because he wakes up right away from naps when he’s hungry

@carusod91 late bed times suck but damn thats even better than my son that sounds so nice to me honestly. he usually doesnt go down until midnight and then some days hes up at 5 am and he usually cant go past 3 hours without a feed i might get 4 hours if im lucky. I know every baby is different and im not trying to say its easy for you at all but damn sleeping for 12 hours straight and 6 hours without a feed sounds like a dream to me at least you can get a few hours of sleep in a row im lucky if I get 3 in one day

@avianlouiebos, that’s usually a good day and it’s what I try to aim for. I totally understand though. The last week hasn’t been like that. He’s been waking every hour from 11:30pm to 2am and then 5 am, 8am. So I’m exhausted but hopefully it passes soon.

He woke up again 🙄

aaanndd now he’s in my bed lol

@carusod91 yea hes so confused about bed time idk why he fell asleep at 9pm then woke up at 10pm and hes still up probably wont go down until midnight again
