This video is a blessing. My 5 month baby just put herself to sleep tonight for the 1st time. Gave her a bath, fed her (was falling asleep so I woke her), held her for 5 mins and put her in bed. I decided on a 10 min interval for check ups. She fell asleep after 15 mins of crying so didn't need to go in for a 2nd check up (1st check up I just placed my hand on her chest for less than 30 secs)

I know this video was a long time coming! Apologies-it was so long, it took a while to edit it. Hope it helps answer some of your questions and know you can always reach out to Natalie for help. ❤️

I have a question, If you are sleep training the first few days and your baby wakes in the night after 4 hours of sleep and she cries for 20 min should you go in? should you let it just go because going in makes it worse and for how long? shes cried for close to an hour before. help! I understand the rest of sleep training but that part I need help on

Jen Corin It’s hard to say exactly what to do without knowing what else is going on as far as sleep training is concerned. If baby is healthy and safe, I would allow her to fall asleep on her own after physically checking in to make sure she’s okay.

I sleep trained my baby at 6 months he’s now 8 months. I used this video and others to get an idea of what I needed to do. I looked at the prices of the program and was shocked with how much it cost. It’s sad to know that some families are struggling and can’t afford something like this. So I would suggest getting the book by Richard Ferber solve your child’s sleep problems

Hi thanks for the video. I researched about the topic and found out that sleep training should be done before 8 months and after 15 months for the cosleeping babies because this is the age that they have separation anxiety. So if a baby is between 8 and 15 and cosleep, just putting them in the crib and leave the room is problematic because of that reason. I have bought Natalie’s book but I did not found a specific section for this.

Been waiting for this video!!

My 18 month girl's daytime nap is the time for me to get rest and do some work-from-home assignments. So if i reduce not just her naps but hours of naps during the day, i just don't see me getting time for anything that doesn't involve her. Whenever she sees me with mobile or laptop, she has to come, fiddle and just disturb till i close it all and play with her. If i go by the advises here, i have to wake her before 4:30pm and put her to sleep 7-8pm. So all my personal work begins at 7pm.

This was the best

Thank you!

Co sleeping isn’t bad as people make it seem like. If you’re a calm sleeper, go ahead and do it. I hardly move in my sleep and it was very convenient for me especially since I work a lot and do not want to be getting out the bed through out the night. I’ve done this with both of my kids up until 4/5 months old.

Sleep training is so worth it!!

Thanks for the videos on sleep training! Would you reset your baby back to the middle/lower part of thr crib when he's been crying for a few minutes and out of frustration, kicked it way up the crib to the point his head would bumb the crib?

So I started sleep training my 4 month old on Friday. It was hard just letting him cry it out for the first day. Saturday naps and nighttime still a struggle but he slept through. I forgot the pump before you go to bed part though lol. Then come Sunday, two out of three naps he still cried it out but then at night, when I put him down for bedtime, he didn't even argue just fell right asleep. During the day, I make sure the windows have a block out curtain and blinds so room is dark. At night, I do a bath routine then alexa's pure white noise since I dont have a noise machine. It works!!! Thank you guys so much! I hope this is the start of many well rested nights for both baby and Mama!

This was super helpful!! Having my 2nd child this September...we had successfully sleep trained our first child (mainly because he was a preemie then and was in NICU for 2.5 months till his due date before allowed to come home, they had already trained to wake every 3 hrs to eat). But we weren’t entirely sure of what we were doing, other than following friends advice/tips and googling certain sleep training methods on google as we were overseas then. You are incredibly informative!! And indirectly validated some of the things we instinctively decided to do with our child when met with out of the norm situations! Not sure what this 2nd child will be like🙈, but hoping to not be as anxious this time and take it easy and enjoy the process!!

My 5-month old usually gets gassy from crying too much. How do I prevent that while sleep training my baby? Thanks!

For now I am sleeping with my baby, he is 5 weeks old. I know it might be premature to start thinking of sleep training, but I intend to start as soon as his age will allow it, so my question is how do I sleep train in order to transition from cosleeping to putting him to sleep in his own crib. It is possible to use the method cry it out as you described it? I also share a room with the baby because of spacing issue, we live in a one-bedroom apartment. I guess I will try the partition from IKEA. Thank you for any answer in advance.

Thanks, this is very helpful. Just one thing struck me as very dangerous, that is advising that it is okay to let a baby under 12 months old to sleep on his stomach. According to doctors, SIDS makes up about 80% of sudden and unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs), and is often linked to babies sleeping on their side or stomach. Maybe this should have been mentioned as a reason why not to let the baby sleep in that position?

Thank you for this video!

Ummm..what about parents of multiples? I have twins so how do you handle that component?

It is surprising that no questions are about nap. I think naps are very tricky. E.g., when babies are upset and ask for attention and help at night, and if you stick to the rule, he would finally fall asleep. But for nap, sometimes it means the nap is over. And the day time routine is messed up. And if they fall back into the habit of short nap, it takes much much more effort to go back to a good napper.

My baby is able to fall asleep both daytime and nighttime in his crib, with me putting a hand on his chest, or patting if necessary, and singing a specific song. But I am considering going forward to wean these minimum assistances. Can I do this by also following your sleep training method? I am concerned if I move forwards and it gets worse instead....
