Sleep Training made easy with the Ferber Method

It will break my heart seeing bubba crying to sleep. It’s not my cup of tea 🍵 I rather be there for my child.

Can we use pacifier

This worked great 36 years ago with my boys , it just didn’t have a name.

Should I sleep train if my baby falls asleep perfect w pacifier but wakes up constantly to have it back at night?

Question about children that sleep in the same room as the parents (our case): we are out of the room at the beginning when he goes to sleep but it our only bedroom so we come in later in the night. Sometimes he wakes up sometimes he doesn’t. Any tips?

Please stop this. It's harmful for your baby.

My baby just got home from NICU after being there for 4 months. Should i start now or wait until 8 months. She was born at 25 weeks

Amazing video!
I have a question, we are moving in soon future, my baby is 4,5m old, and I wanna sleep train him. Should i do it already at our old place, or should I wait that we move, wait for him to get used to the new place and than start sleep training. He will be about 6months old than… is that too old for Ferbers method? 🙏🏽
I would very much appreciate your answer 🙏🏽

What if parent let baby sleep in bed to avoid sleepless nites and now 1.5 Yr later baby won’t sleep in grub alone 😮

My 6 almost 7 month old sleeps through the night and can self soothe if she wakes. She depends on rocking and a paci when falling asleep at bedtime. When i put her in her crib fully awake to go to bed she just will play and roll around, even though she's tried. How can i get her to relax and go to sleep independently?

Do you only do the check ins when baby cries? Or whenever they’re awake ? Also what about for babies who can’t sleep without a pacifier?? My baby wakes everytime it falls out and that’s what keeps her up all night

If I was a baby I would hate to be born in a family where they expect me to self sooth at 6 weeks or 6 months or 1 year. They are only babies once, they will only need us so much for a short time. They dont learn to self sooth, they learn to not cry because no one is coming. How sad is that…

So if baby is not sleeping after even 10 min what to do then?

Thank you for sabering this. I have a 3 month old and my husband and I are thinking about sleep training out baby at 4 months in her crib. She takes all her naps on her crib unless we’re on the go. I know doctors don’t recommend babies to get out of parents room until 6 months. Is it safe to sleep train in their own room since 4 months?

Can you try this during nap times as well ?

What do you do when baby tolls on their tummy and cannot roll back ? Do you go in and place them back? My baby does this a lot and I don’t know how it will affect 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?

Our Baby sleeps 25 min naps during day time ( he will be 6 months in 9 days). He’s eating day time is not enough- so he feeds at least 2 -3 times during the night. Recommendation? I would like to start this so we don t rock him to sleep/ and also to help him connect day naps -longer.

How do you do the Ferber method if babies crib is in the same room with your or it is in a shared sibling room?

I have a 15 month old is it too late to sleep train him?

Studies have showed that Cortisol levels in these poor babies are still high even when they stop crying - they just have given up

How would a dream feed work with the Ferber method?

But when my baby wakes up he looks totally awake and i put him back to sleep. I am scared if I don’t do it he will never go back to sleep

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!!!

I was planning on using this method but my health care provider told me not to do this. That it’s not recommended. And now I don’t know what to do 😭

We’ve tried the crying it out and our baby will go forever… what can help with this? She will cry about 30mins and get really distressed

Hi! Thank you for the info! Can you please name the studies you are referring to? Or a link? Thanks!

So it takes 3-4 nights so they cry that whole time and don't sleep??

Cruel and trauma inducing

I have a 9 month old and never got to have her in a crib because we lived in a small studio before until we moved into out bigger studio/ apartment and got a crib now. I don’t know what to do because my baby kept crying for a while and I broke and picked her up. I tried getting to sleep again in there but she started screaming like she is scared. What should I do ?

Is this method something you can do if you're room sharing?

Thank you for this video, my granddaughter is 7 1/2 months, I wish we had found this sooner, she seems to go the bed ok in the evening but its the naps that are so hard, do you recommend doing the same method for nap time? or Any recommendation would be greatly helpful. Thank you

My baby beat the system… she cried for 2 straight hours until the point she started literally choking. I had to pick her up. It was like that for 3 straight nights. We tried everything we can’t get her to fall asleep on her own

What about babies with GER?

What if your baby is 9 months old? What method is best for them?

Is it too late to do this at 10 months?

My child screams worse when I walk in! She doesn't like the idea of no pick up no rocking... She'll cry for hours

is it possible for my 9 month old?

I give you permission to love your baby. Pick up and hold your baby. It’s instinctual and natural. Love them, sing to them, comfort them, be with them.♥️

If you're going back and forth and there's no stop in crying over multiple checks over and over at what point do we pick him up and soothe him?

What about naps? Currently sleep training do you do the Ferber method with naps too? First time trying this he’s been crying for an hour 😢

plis don't do it, It can bring many consequences on a psychic level, babies need support, this will only cause the baby to get tired of crying, and consequently think that he will not have the support of his mother

This is child abuse. You expose an infant to what the child is most afraid of, being left alone.
The child is powerless and needs protection, a small child needs to be comforted when he/she is frightened.

They adapt because they have to. They capitulate to the horror of being abandoned.

What if you and baby sleeps in the same room and there’s no other room available? We do have a separate bed for baby.

When do you transition the baby into their own room? Does keeping them in your room (in their cot) make it harder for them to sleep and resettle by themselves ?

My husband and I we’re desperate so we started this method 3 weeks ago with our 8 month old baby

The first 2 nights were very hard, but the third night she cried just a little bit. 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.

My husband and I were skeptical about this method but in our experience it worked out.

Would the baby go back to sleep in the middle of the night if he is hungry?
