I help parents get their babies sleeping well and set up a great schedule that works for their baby and their family. I stick with you throughout parenthood and help you with those babies as they grow to toddlers, to school-aged children, to tweens, and to teens. I also love doing hair---my girls' and my own.

How To Start Babywise Late
Hi there. You are new to On Becoming Baby Wise. For whatever reason, you haven’t used any of the principles yet and you want to now. You are ready for great night sleep, daytime naps, and a predictable daily schedule. But you don’t know where to start. I was there once. Despite the fact that a friend told me all about Babywise when I was pregnant with Brayden, my oldest child, and it sounded like a good idea to me, we hadn’t even read the book when he was born. We figured our natural instincts of parenting would kick in and everything would be peachy. But they weren’t! And so after a month of Brayden’s life (which seemed like an eternity to me), we decided to go buy the book.
The steps you need to take to get started with the Babywise method and get baby on a great schedule. You can start late and still have great success!

Why You Need To Wake Baby Up At the Same Time Every Single Morning
Just have partial robotic hysterectomy only left my ovaries, after few hours from my surgery ask me to walk and then send me home with the catheter It’s that supposed to be?
I am not sure with that type of surgery
What to do when the baby cries consistently when others hold her besides Mom & Dad
Is this during awake time? Like a separation anxiety situation?
This was so helpful!! I’ve read lots of articles on the early wake up but you’re left wondering what to do!
My baby is in bed around 7:00 and up at 5:30 and I think it’s extending of night sleep. He’ll feed but then wants to party/babble for half an hour before deciding he’s still tired. I’ll usually leave him be until 6 or 7:00. Doyou go by the get up time or the wake up time for calculating wake window? For ex if baby wakes at 6:00 but stays in crib in the dark, babbling until 6:30 would you start counting from 6:30 for their 2h wake window until the next nap?
@@ClaudetteDuPont7 This ends up depending on the baby--some babies will need that wake time in the crib counted as exact wake time. I typically counted it more as "half" time, so if they were awake for 30 minutes in the crib, it was more like 15 minutes of wake time. It can change with age, too. Here are a couple of posts that talk about that more: www.babywisemom.com/how-to-calculate-waketime-length/ and www.babywisemom.com/waketime-when-baby-wakes-early/
Yes!!! Thanks for this!!! So many misconceptions
You are very welcome!
Help! My baby is 5 weeks old and she always cries before each nap I don’t understand wake times and now she’s waking up half way through each naps and I have to put her back to sleep. Nothing is working and I’m really trying to
The first thing I would recommend is to see if she is hungry. She might be having a growth spurt, which happens often with babies! So rule out hunger first thing.

Is it a bad idea to have any screen time while doing blanket time? I have a 4 year old 3 year old and 1 year old. My four year old is VERY behaviorally challenged and always has been. Is he too old to do this with? He struggles the most with obedience out of all of them… out of all children I know actually… so I thought maybe he could benefit a bit from this. Would I do all 3 at the same time on separate blankets or make it a more individual thing so they can observe each other and learn from one another? Sorry for all the questions! Always been a babywise mama but never tried blanket time.
Screen time...you could do it sometimes. The point of this is to work on listening to mom, respecting boundaries, and self-entertaining. So you could do it at times, but I would also try it without screen time. Your 4 year old definitely can do this! I probably wouldn't do all three at the same time (but when you do, I probably would do three different blankets). I would start one on one so you can establish rules and focus on one child at a time. You don't want to be too distracted and you don't want younger kids watching older kids disobey and following that example. But once kids have it down, it would be great to do at the same time! Good luck!
Thanks for making this. Gave me an idea of what to expect while taking care of my girlfriend who will be going through with this procedure in two weeks.
You are welcome! I hope it goes well for her. Encourage her to take it easy and not jump back into life too fast.
So glad I stumbled across this video. I’m having my surgery on the 28th of this month. I’m super scared and nervous. This is hands down the best video I’ve come across. ❤
I hope it goes well for you! Expect time to recover. It does get better over time!
Babywise is the most evil program you could ever consider using to raise your children. It destroyed our daughter's life. Shame on Gary Ezzo - he is an evil psychopath who had ruined countless lives. We followed his 20-minute rule that requires you to allow your baby to cry for up to 20 minutes and it turned her against us. She hates us. We raised our second daughter without using this evil program on her and she loves us. Just Google "Gary Ezzo evil" and view the results. Gary Ezzo should be in prison.
Your wrong, your daughter doesn’t hate you because of baby wise, she hates you because you’re a bad parent
Thank you for this video! Very helpful for me.
You are most welcome!
"Those things can wait" best advice ever ❤
Absolutely!
Hi, so glad to find your channel! Im coming here from reading babywise and we are following this with miss 4 week old. Im struggling to navigate the mornings as im a farmer and i need to be at shed or tractor for about an hour from 7am to about 8ish sometimes only 45mins approx. I had set 6am morning wake up so that we are going down for nap at 7pm in carseat but she doesnt always sleep well or stay asleep once we are back home or i have to get her out for some reason and we end up being awake and then when home i feed her to get her to settle and everything goes out the window. Then next nap is normally ok . How could i make this work?
When you said you have her going down for a nap at 7 pm in carseat, did you mean 7 am?
@@BabywiseMom yes all am there ! Sorry
@@michaelastockwell3252 I would get her up as late as you can in the morning so her awake time can be while you are out on the farm. That wake window will still be longer than ideal for her age. If you have the option, another idea is to get someone to come sit in the house while she sleeps and you are out on the farm.
@@BabywiseMom thanks so much
I still have a hard time finding out how long you should let them cry. My poor little guy seems to never be able to fall asleep. Although he is 3.5 months
It really varies from baby to baby. You have to do some trial and error to see what works best for your baby. Take good notes so you can see patterns.
@@BabywiseMomOnce he starts crying, he does not stop. I once let him go for 45 minutes but I couldn't take it anymore because it just got more and more desperate :( I do know his pattern of only sleeping 20 minutes on the dot. Most people I've asked said this is normal but I feel like it's not
@@kaiahoates1614 No that is not normal. Have you looked into the 4 S's for sleep training? www.babywisemom.com/gentle-sleep-training-the-four-ss/
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hello! Just started babywise with my 5 month old! I'm a little nervous about how to handle wake ups in the middle of the night. He is a really gassy baby and also had reflux as an infant so I'm jaded as far as wanting to pick up and soothe. He has dropped his middle of the night feed but still seems to wake up and scream multiple times of the night. How would you handle those wake ups? Just allow him to scream for 15 minutes? Do you pick him?
Thank you!
Hello! This is always a hard situation. My second child had reflux, so I do have experience with this. I would work to get medication under control, use gas drops, and use gripe water. For more thoughts with reflux, see this: www.babywisemom.com/bw-and-reflux/

So grateful the Lord has placed you in my path dear sister! My husband & I are expecting our first baby early July and I've been dreading the idea of sleep training because I didn't do any kind of training with my first son. This just soothes my anxious heart so much, thank you! So excited to learn more. The Lord bless you and your precious family 💌
I am glad you found it! This is such a simple way to sleep train!
Normally my baby is active baby ,but from 2 days he is not as active as he used to be , he is not taking much interest in toys etc and little lazy . I was super worried, is it also due to growth spurt plz tell me i am very worried
If his behavior is super different, it might be wise to just go see his doctor to get checked out. I wouldn't say a lack of interest in toys is a sign of a growth spurt.
Can I travel in 4 weeks time after my procedure
You should be able to, but you will definitely want to talk with your doctor and also wait and see how you are feeling. I wouldn't be committed to it in case you end up not feeling well enough to go. So I would have everything able to be canceled.
Also! What happens when they get older?! How does the feeding schedule change?
As they get older, they can go longer between feedings at night. So they extend night sleep until they are 10-12 hours between feedings. In the daytime, they eventually move to every 4 hours for daytime feeds.
In the baby wise book it says every 2-3 hours? Has it changed? Will they stay asleep for that long?
It says what is every 2-3 hours? Night feeds? It hasn't said that. It says up to 5 hours until 5 weeks. Your baby might eat more often than 5 hour, but don't let them go more than 5 hours between feeds at night. For daytime, it is 2.5-3 hours.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been reading the book and sometimes I get so confused !
You are so welcome!
Please tell me how you started a schedule with your 9 week old. 🙏 I am trying to start babywise late and I have no idea what type of schedule to start with for my 9 week old. 🙏🙏

Hi! Thank you so much for all this information. It is helping me with my 4th newborn, who is now 10 weeks. I do have a question: I’m not sure what to do because since I have 3 other children, and I have to take them to school in the morning, the baby ends up having a short nap in the car seat driving around in the van. How can I avoid this? Wake time is 7 AM, but we have to leave the house at 8 AM to drive to school and I’m not home until 9:15 AM because I take my 6yo to kindergarten and my 4yo to preschool.
You are so welcome! At this age, I wonder if your newborn would start the nap in the car with the car ride being that long and then just finish the nap once you got home. If not, I would see if you can get that morning wake up time as late as you can so that playtime is in the carseat essentially while you are driving. I have a couple of posts for you to read: www.babywisemom.com/how-to-maintain-sleep-schedule-amid-disruptions/ www.babywisemom.com/managing-baby-plus-older-kids-activities/
I have my mother in law coming from Texas to help me out with my kids.. I’m soo Thankful for her..
That will be great!
Today is my day 1 after my Total Hysterectomy
I hope your recovery goes well!
What does the schedule look like when cluster feeding, how do you do EWS in the 2 hours? My 15 week old still wakes 1-2x in the night, with no difference with a dream feed. Recently she always wants another feed just when I am putting her down after bath/ bedtime routine at 830, but how do I avoid feeding her to sleep?
Cluster feeding can turn into a series of dreamfeeds, so your baby might be basically asleep when feeding. So you would feed at 6, 8, and 10 (as an example). A baby who does cluster feeding is young enough that awake time is not more than an hour (including feedings), so you still have EWS cycle. The naps are just short. So feed at 6, bed at 7, then if you feed at 8, you want to feed and go right back down, and at 10 feed and go right back down.
Curious how does the “ self shoot “ looks like ?
What do you mean by "self shoot"?
How long do you let them throw a tantrum? Mine cries and cries for a very long time without stopping and refuses to listen to me calmly asking her to sign or use her words.
So long as everything is okay, I would just let them go. Make yourself busy cleaning up or doing something and just wait for the tantrum to end. You want to show a tantrum doesn't get results. You have to really channel a calm happy place and put on a good acting face :)
CREEPY MOTHERS.
Lazy mothers do baby wise. Disgusting.
Just because we do things smart doesn’t make us lazy, it just shows you lack intelligence
We also had a sudden change at 3 months (baby suddenly took 50% less time to eat and would suddenly drop off the breast when done). Our lactation consultant advised that around 3 months is when babies suddenly feel "fullness" in a way they hadn't before. At least for us, that seems to be true...when she's done, she's done!
That is a great additional thought! Thanks for sharing it.
Great tips, as always!
Thank you!

Thank you for this, it was very helpful in answering some questions I've had. Do you recommend waking baby to feed, if baby is sleeping well? How and when does the routine become more consistent?
You are very welcome! Yes I do recommend to wake a sleeping baby when it is time to eat. All three of my girls had to be woken up to eat almost all of the time. With that, if you are on a 2.5 hour feeding schedule and the baby is still asleep, I would be willing to do 3 hour for that cycle so long as it didn't interfere with the total number of feedings in that day. In other words, you want to make sure your baby would still get enough feedings in the day. Also, sometimes you try to wake your baby up for a feeding and that just doesn' work out. In that case, try for about 10 minutes to wake baby up, then let baby sleep for another 30 ish minutes and try again.
Hi, what if your baby’s nap is short, like 30-1 hr? Do you still feed right after the nap and start the cycle again?
If your baby is hungry, yes. Feed right away. If not, you can wait up to 30 minutes before feeding baby to try to stay closer to a 2.5 hour feeding cycle.
This is great! 30 years ago, I used Ezzo curriculum and it worked beautifully for my daughter, and my five nieces and nephews, who followed her! Now is a grandma, I’m getting ready to take on watching my newborn grandson 1 to 2 days a week, and I need to brush up

Thank you for the information! My baby is currently 5 months old. She used to have a great morning nap but it gradually became less time and now it’s probably around 45-50 minutes after a 1 1/2 hour wake window. I find that baby will take a longer nap in the afternoon but it’s pretty unpredictable. What should I do to extend the morning nap?
Have you tried adding a bit of wake time before the first nap? Also, see this post for ideas for this age range: www.babywisemom.com/10-reasons-your-5-8-month-old-has/
My baby is currently 7 months and I am hoping and praying this piece of information helps us because this mama needs sleep thus needs a baby who sleeps.

I think this has been the best and most informative video I’ve come across. Hope your surgery went well. I feel better and more prepared after watching this!
Couldn't click on this video fast enough! My 12 week old is on a 3 hour schedule (wake windows 60-90 mins) with 4 naps a day but wakes up 45 minutes (1 wake cycle) into her naps, particularly as the day progresses. Sometimes she's quietly sucking on her hands and whinging a bit but often all out wailing. When she's wailing I'll wake a few minutes then quickly resettle her but that doesn't help. Since she's woken up 45 mins (at least) early, then her wake window before the next nap is messed up. She usually sleeps the entire length of the 1st nap, 2nd nap is 50/50, but the 3rd and 4th naps it's a guarantee she wakes up 45 mins in. The 2nd nap of the day she can sometimes re-settle herself back to sleep or doze on and off. The only suggestions my experienced Babywise mamas have is to put her to sleep on her tummy (not willing to do that though) and make sure she's getting good feeds. I'm desperate for answers!
