Sleep Training made easy with the Ferber Method

Sleep training made easy with the Ferber Method!
First and foremost, This method is not for everyone, if it causes parents too much stress or anxiety you do not have to do it. The goal of the method is to teach the child to self sooth with reminders that “mommy and daddy are always here.” It is not meant to just let the child cry it out, or to be cruel. Use your best judgement, no one knows your child better than you.
With that said, Almost all parents of young infants are in need of more sleep.
In this video, we REVIEW a popular sleep training method, the Ferber Method. The Ferber Method teaches babies to self-soothe by allowing the child to cry for a predetermined amount of time before receiving brief comfort from the parents to remind the child they are not alone. Overtime these intervals slowly increase.
We discuss the reasons why sleep training is beneficial for the health of both the infant and the family unit.
Sleep training will ultimately lead to better quality, consistent sleep for your child which is necessary for proper infant growth and development. And adequate sleep in adults is linked to lower levels of anxiety, stress and proper weight management.
We also review why the best age to sleep train a baby is between 4-6 months of age, when infants are capable of self soothing but before they can sit up.
Check out our video on sleep training using the Ferber Method!

    Did this with both my kids. My daughter was a hard nut to crack but by 12-15 months she was sleeping 10 hours just fine. Now she's 3 y 8 m and is still a great sleeper. My son is now 8 months and I went from co sleeping and waking every 2-4 hours for feeding to sleeping alone in his crib for 11 hours in just 2 days with this method. The first night was painfully horrible. The second night he seems to understand a little better. The third night it was as if he discovered how wonderfully glorious a good, long peaceful sleep is. I set him in his crib, he makes himself comfortable and goes to sleep. I am so relieved. I wake up the next morning ready to be the best parent I can be. 10000% needed. Naysayers just don't know better 💯

    I just tried the "no cry" method and it made my baby worse. It was to stay in the room with her, but to her it was like 'why are you here but not interacting with me'. so I switched the method I was using mid way during a sleep session and did this and my baby went down after the third check in. And she wasn't crying as hard either. Each baby is different and I can already tell my baby likes this one more.

But I have a question, what if after the 3rd check in, or even a 4th or 5th, the baby is still crying heavily?...I'm worried that I might give in after a while. Like how how many check ins should do?...😢 I'm running on little to no sleep here..

    I’m honestly so so shocked. I already notice a huge difference in my 1 year old son. Let me just say a few things before anyone thinks I’m jumping the fence here lol: My son is FULLY breastfed. All throughout the day and all throughout the night. He wakes up about 4-6 times a night to breastfeed and throughout the day he is always following me around and BEGGING at my knees for a feed about every 1-2 hours. My milk production has kept up with his needs of breast milk. This method however has calmed him down about bedtime. After 2 times of doing the 10 minute intervals he’s quieted down quite a bit and has gone to sleep on his very own for the first time. Im IN LOVE with this method. Thanks so much for this helpful video!!!

    Hiscock led one of the few long-term studies on the topic. It's a randomized controlled trial - the gold standard in medical science - with more than 200 families. Blogs and parenting books often cite the study as "proof" that the cry-it-out method doesn't harm children. But if you look closely, you quickly see that the study doesn't actually test "cry it out." Instead, it tests two other gentler methods, including the camping out method.

    All I know is that my husband and I have barely slept in months and the consequences of that is our health going down hill, health which we need to look after children, and also our tempers/irritability levels have went up causing us both to become very snappy and impatient with our 3 year old who is at an age where he struggles to regulate emotions. Right now, psychologically, he is much more likely to be impacted by our sleep deprived personalities over a prolonged time than our 6 month old is by having to do a bit of crying for a few nights. So I think we really will have to try this...although we are in the same room as the baby still so not sure how we'll to make it work.

When we go in for the 2 or so minutes to let the baby know we are around, do we stay until the baby has calmed down or do we only stay for a couple of minutes and leave whether the baby has calmed down or not?

    The only thing I don't agree with is not breastfeeding in the middle of the night. Formula is heavier and doesn't need a middle of the night feed but breastfeeding needs an extra feed. Once they are eating three meals a day and snacks it is less crucial but still encouraged by breastfeeding specialists

Since the fourth night she is been waking up once. She doesn’t sleep the 10-12 hours in a row but at least she is not waking up every 2 hours as she used to do. Every night since we started the training I put her in the crib and she doesn’t cry and in about 10-15 min she finally falls a sleep.

    You stated to keep checking in until the baby’s falls asleep.. well what happens if the baby doesn’t fall asleep? Do you let the baby cry all night long and keep checking in until sunrise? At what point do the subsequent check ins should stop and know that the Ferber method is not working? I tried the Ferber method for 3 consecutive nights and my baby cried for 3.5+ hours until I gave in because apparently we’re supposed to “stop the check ins when the baby falls asleep”.

    Amazing info, I’m starting my 5 month old into the sleep training I’m just not sure how many hours her naps should be? It’s ok if she naps for two hours and the wake time is also around that 1.5 - 2 hours? I’m aiming for a bedtime around 7pm.

    Really helpful info. A question I have is should I start this if my baby sleeps though the night? My baby is 4months and has slept though night since about 6 weeks. I do rock/feed her to sleep. I’m wondering if I should wait till becomes an issue sort of if ain’t broke don’t fix kinda thing. Am worried will mess with her good night sleeps. But also worry should maybe try now as may be better to do before starts waking in night and can’t settle

    Great video, just wondered if you could clarify something. If the baby wakes up in the middle of the night do you go through immediately and check them and then start with the intervals or do you wait for the first time interval before going through at all?

    You wait for 5 minutes and see if they can self soothe back to sleep. If not then go back in and comfort them for no more than 1-2 minutes. Then leave the room.

    Love the video and am very excited to start once my son turns 4 mo. 2 quick questions that I haven’t seen answers to in the comments yet: 1. Do I absolutely have to stop night feedings or could I still feed once during the night, then put baby down awake and do Ferber again? Or do you recommend never feeding at night? 2. He’s sleeping in a SNOO in our room right now but we want to transition him to his crib in his room (door connections our bedroom) and sleep train at the same time ideally. Cold turkey. Would you recommend? THX so much, you guys are super sweet and reassuring!

    I think it’s confusing for babies if sometimes you feed them when they wake up and sometimes you don’t. I would recommend stopping night feeds. And i would do naps in the crib for a few days before you sleep train to get him acquainted with the crib and then do the sleep training

Also - baby doesn’t eat enough during the day ( maybe 14 oz-17 oz)so he needs 2-3 night feeds or he ll wake up every 1 h . What do you recommend?

    I worked in a day care using this method in a very distorted way. Putting babies to sleep for times during the day when they were not tired and not in consistency with the parents methods and leaving the babies crying for hours without checking. I do not like or believe in this method. I understand and do not judge the family who needs and want to use it. But it needs to be done the right way

    Thank you for the information! We are looking into sleep training for our second baby. He generally sleeps pretty well at night but often wakes up and needs us to give him his pacifier in order for him to put himself back to sleep. Is that going to hinder the self soothe process? Also, how would we implement sleep training for naps? He only naps on us or in his swing (which I know is unsafe and I hate doing it!) so we really need to get him to nap in his crib! Any tips?

    My baby is 4 months and i want to start sleep training her, but i have a couple of questions. What hour should i put her to bed, for me i think that 20.00 is the perfect bed time, but i usualy have the last feeding at 22.00, is that a problem? Can i put her to bed at 20, use the ferber method, and at 22 can i feed her in her sleep? Because i think 20 to 5 or 6 am is a long time with no food. The second question? Can i change her at night? For example now at about 2 in the morning, she usualy starts to move in here sleep, i change her and the she is still. The third question, can i use a pacefire or the hole purpuse is for her to sude herself without any outside help. And the final question, my baby is very tempermental and when she starts crying she goes into a frenzy and she starts shaking if we dont pick here up, is it posible that we could harm her if we try this method?

    Would this work for naps? My baby will not nap during the day unless he's attached to me in a carrier. He's only 3 months so I can wait another month or two. Everytime I've tried putting him down for a nap he wakes up either right away or 10 minutes in and then just cries and cries and cries. Hes slept amazing at night pretty much since birth so my issue is mainly with naps

Do I help her see the bed ? Lay her down if standing? She won’t sit on her own and continue crying staring at the door for rescue.

    It kills me to imagine not feeding my baby throughout the night. He’s a chunky boy at 4.5 months so he’s not wasting away, but man I’m almost in tears just imagining it! Also not that you answer anyone’s amazing questions, but maybe someone will see my comment who has an idea.. my boy started teething at 3 months, he’s 4 months 3 weeks, & a week ago popped his 2nd tooth. He’s still going through a bit of the pain atm but slowly getting better as it makes its way through. Would I wait to start this method until they’re both fully through. First one is almost finished, maybe another week, and 2nd one would still have 3-4wks maybeee to fully come through. Thanks anyone who sees this 😂❤
