- After having 6 babies 8 years, I have basically become a baby sleep expert, ha! Here are all my best tips and tricks for getting your baby to sleep through the night WITHOUT crying it out!
Try these simple tricks and your baby will be sleeping better in no time. Some of my favorite baby sleep items are linked below!
Note: I will say, I do believe in more aggressive sleep training methods if your baby or toddler needs the help, and Baby Wise (amzn.to/2GFWeIz) is the book I used to do more full-blown sleep training when nothing else works. So if you need help beyond this, check that out!

The way you're sitting in the recliner with your baby is super empowering. You're carrying yourself like you're the queen of all the moms (which you are).
Omg I want that rocking chair now next time I have baby it looks so perfect
Sleep when baby sleeps, fold laundry when baby folds laundry!

Wash dishes when baby washes dishes.
Holly Long 😂
This reminds me of a meme I saw, “Sleep when baby sleeps... i dont know about you but sleeping while driving or pushing a stroller sounds pretty dangerous.”
I didn't do a dang thing the first week after my baby was born so I did sleep when he slept and it was AMAZING! 🎉🎉🎉 Of course it won't work if you and baby literally the only ones home. But I was very lucky that my hubby got paternity leave so he could bring me food or whatever I needed that first week 💜
As a postpartum doula, I think these are great tips! The only thing that concerns me is being strict about feeding every 3 hours while establishing milk supply. It is very normal for babies to cluster feed at times. At the same time, I agree it's important to try to get full feeds in instead of grazing all day long, so learn your baby's cues so you can tell if they're actually hungry or not. And sometimes, babies just want to nurse for comfort and that's ok too.
As a mother of 4 (soon to be 5), including one set of twins, this is just not my parenting style. I exclusively breastfeed, nurse to sleep during the day and night, and bedshare until baby(ies) is about 6 months old. At that point, we start with naps in the crib and work up to full nights in the crib. My oldest STTN at 11.5 months, my twins about 9 months, my youngest about 7 or 8 months. We have not really had any trouble or felt overly sleep deprived doing things this way. Our babies all figured out pretty quickly that night time is for sleeping and day time is for being awake. I would always change diapers right before nursing, instead of in the middle of the feed, during the night. If I could tell they didn't eat enough, I would try to wake them up with a cold wipe, undressing, etc. We would always keep the lights off during night feeds as well. And I never really swaddled, as it didn't seem to help with my own kids. It is definitely worth a try though and I have done it with all of my doula babies! My own babies must be weird. 😆
There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Every baby and family is unique. Like I said, these are great tips! But if you try them and your baby still isn't a good sleeper, it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. And on the flip side, this isn't the *only* way to get your baby to sleep well.
Thanks for the video, Jordan!
Thank you! You are exactly right, all babies are different. And like I mentioned at the end of the video, always talk to your doctor before trying any new tips that you are unsure of.
Holding a bottle and feeding a four-month-old as I watch this! I’m not a mom, but I am a nanny and your videos are awesome
*This is the exact routine I followed with my son. I found it in a book somewhere lol. After my son got over his colic (actually turned out to be acid reflux), he was sleeping like a dream!!* 💕
Good to know. Baby #4 has reflux and can't do a long feed. He eats every 1.75-2 hrs, most nights too, because his little tiny belly can't handle being full.
@@MorganMcRory Poor guy. I remember those nights. I hope he feels better soon! 💕
how long did Colic last? My daughter has this😢
Congratulations, you made it through colic mostly alive 🥲 colic is very very hard..
@@sarab8618 our son’s lasted three months. Hang in there, it’s not easy..
i’m a new dad I was looking on TH-cam to figure out how to put my baby to sleep Because he wakes up every hour and only eats half the bottle. I’m going to try your tips starting today thank you
Did these tips work?
Third baby and still looking for tips
We did cry it out. They were fine. Lol. Unless something was legitimately wrong.
I'm on baby number 4 and always looking for tips.
@@ihavenoideawhatimdoinghere6285 For sleep? Or just in general? How old are they now?
No matter how many kids we still need help
@@caity9244 9, 4 and a half, 14 months, and I'm due in 2 weeks. Mainly general tips, but also choosing skills for what to prepare for.. Lol all my babies were drastically different than each other.
I love seeing someone talking about sleep without CIO 😍. A routine is definitely a must but a lot of these tips wouldn’t work for breastfed babies. Feeding to sleep is a biological norm and feeding on demand is completely necessary for a boobie baby x
Loved what you said about the noise during the day (even through the evening), we did the same thing with our babies; during the day we didn't stop "life" from happening. I would keep the music going in the background during the day nothing crazy but a "dull roar", the baby would nap and not be startled by doorbells or other noises. I did a lot of your tips and people hated me because I had babies at 4 months sleeping through the night, not every night is perfect but when you can get 4 nights in a 7 day week really good your not sleep deprived and it just gets better as baby gets bigger!
All the best to your family!

Yes! Having babies get used to the noise is better. They can sleep through alot 😊
Any tips on how to get baby used to the noise? I’ve been trying to go on with life as usual and not making my 2 year old be quiet while my newborn sleeps but she just doesn’t sleep through it and then she gets in this crazy overtired rut 😩
You literally just gave the cliff notes for “Baby Wise” it’s a super old school awesome baby book I have used to get all my babies sleeping through the night by 12 weeks (usually they sleep through the night a lot sooner). If you haven’t read it I will be shocked, bc it legit is every thing you just said, except for the sweet baby hold I’m going to try to night w my 5 week old.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing! Babywise is the best!
I have a 1 month old- my 5th-and I am living this right now! All of these tips really work...and they are the babywise method 😃. The halfway through feeding diaper change at night is spot on.
For the night feeds, Ikea has this amazing battery candle that light up just enough for you to see but not enough to wake baby up!! I love it!!
Ines Padron do you know the name of it or what it looks like ?
nicol lopez yes! Mognad (led block candle) costs $1.99 product code (603.617.77) I love it!
I did the eat-wake-sleep cycle as well and had great success with it! Also, did some of the other tips you suggested! I have a great sleeper! I am pregnant now and will incorporate some of the other tips you shared! Learned some new things 😄
I'm glad this was helpful for you!
I always Warmed the wet wipes in my hands. I agree on the Jordan hold. I did that too, in the 80’s. I’m watching this as a Gramma.
I nurse mine to sleep, she sleeps 12 hours just fine lol.
Girl you bless
I tried the eat, play, sleep- never worked. Once I switched my baby to eat, sleep, play he slept through the night (or woke up once) and took good, long naps! I've never made him cry it out either. He also puts himself to sleep in his crib after he eats. I just think every baby is different! :)
I think everything you mentioned comes straight from "Baby Wise" :) Great book!
amswagstaff I was going to say the same thing. We did all of these for our kids based on Baby Wise!
Yup. I have 2/2 great sleepers and I followed all of these guidelines with them.
Mama if 5 boys here. All tips are true! My now 11 month old got into a routine of falling asleep while nursing. He still 90% nursing for his diet (even though we try to feed him more). Habit started at 8 months when I took him in a 14 hour flight and stayed in that time zone for one week. Had to do what I could to survive that week which involved sleeping with him I my bed and bouncing him to sleep in the day. How do I get back to putting him down awake?! He was doing so great before. I could put him down happy and smiling and walk away. Alseep a few minutes later. It really is all about routine and timing it right.
I guess all of mines were just very good sleepers. Never had to put much effort to put them to sleep unless they weren't feeling well or they had an itch.. Plus one thing to note, don't change your daily routine because of the baby or don't change it too much, that creates some a lot of problems esp when it's time for us to come off maternity leave or waking them up and prepping them for school.
🌹Thank you very much this will help easy into being a 1st time mommie i will be using All of these tips on my newborn thank you again 🌹❤
Where’d you purchase your swaddles from? Love the material!
I am 27. I am not a mother and being a mom makes me nervous to think about but I am opening up more to the idea of becoming a mother. I'm watching this video to get ahead just in case that journey ever comes for me.😁
Awesome tips!! What brand is the swaddle you have? Looks nice and stretchy... I'm looking for a good swaddle. Thanks!
svg in description box
@@MM-yh2mi thank you! I didn't even think of checking. 🤦
Good job Jordan. Good to have an experienced Mom is so many areas. And there are 5 cries to listen to. Google Dunstan...ahhh is tired, nhe is hunger plus 3 more. Legs shouldn't be swaddled.
Ugh you’re making me want another baby! Lol my youngest is 16 months and seeing this, remembering the newborn days is giving me baby fever again. My other kids prob wouldn’t be too excited about a new baby but I’m considering it 😂
Everything you said is TRUTH. So much wisdom here. And you spoke it all with love, kindness, and a spirit of encouragement. Preach it sister!
I'm very pregnant with my fourth and it's crazy like you've been here for the last 3, these are all my tips except for the changing diaper I always do it first at night that way they get back to sleep asap. We also keep our babies in our room in a pack n play or mini crib until 1 years old and then they go into the crib in the kids room, all 3 of my kids currently share a room and sleep through the night 💗
I agree with all u just said. My daughter is a great sleeper, she sleeps whole night, and when she was a baby, she always went to sleep during the noisy days time.. we never been "quite or so.." we act like normal and it works....
My daughter haaattess swaddling. Like she refuses! She also was never able to sleep on her back...aslo great tip, soak the wipes in a bowl of warm water before using
The jordy hold worked like magic for my 3rd baby.
I'm dealing with a little girl with sensory processing disorder and I usually do make it quiet because she absolutely hates the vacuum and TV and I usually do let her fall asleep in my arms
That production quality though!!!! This video looks beautiful.
Omg I’m still stuck in a rut nursing my baby to sleep! I need to start this routine! Funny thing is, I knew this with my daughter yet I still did it with my son. He literally can’t fall asleep without nursing or being in the stroller, he’s 10 months! I don’t think he needs a night feeding anymore so I’m going to start putting him in his crib awake. He slept better as a 3 month old than he does now.
I read the same book Jordan!!! And I tell every mom and every dad all of these tips. I have three and we’ve kept the eat play sleep. And routine routine routine!!
I have a baby boy such a similar age to yours who is my 2nd child and some of your tips will help me for when he's being tricky to get to sleep. Thanks for your tips and look how adorable your baby boy is :)
You're so sweet! Thank you!
😄
I tried swaddling my boy as I had done this when he was a newborn and now with teething, he needs a little extra something to help him get down in his cot and it worked! Thank you!
Sleep when baby sleeps. It's hard. Sounds crazy to new moms. Mom of 3 here. And, I always tried to atleast rest!!!
Ciara & Stephen Cassady I actually got both my kids to sleep at the same time the other day and I took a nap! Don’t regret it
Feeling like a champion when everything Jordan says in a video is what I do with my own babies. "My baby doesn't like to be swaddled" doesn't fly in this house, cause this mama needs sleep! Now to get all the freezer meals, etc down.
Can you make a video of how you make every child feel included and not left out. I just found out I'm having another baby and I just had a baby a year ago. I don't know how I can make my son understand that he has to share the time with Mommy and Daddy with the new baby.
Thank the lord for Mums like you!!!!! I have a friend that has the whole house on silence now she has a new baby ( it’s her second!) her husband had to turn his fone off and have on silent constantly and he must sleep in a different room coz she says he’s a noisy. Sleeper! She has a sign on the door and even has baby wearing earphones in the day so it’s quiet all the time for him- we have tried to tell her that this is not conducive for a healthy life and very unrealistic but she is like a crazy woman!!she has a four year old too and his life is now ssshhhh and play quietly , don’t talk, no music in the car or tv!!its crazy!!! I’m very concerned- she’s like a loony!!
Hey Jordon, Whitney here from Dufur. Just stumbled across your video and it was great to see you. This was super helpful and will try with my new 6 week old. Hope all is well with you, Mama!
It's the startle reflex, Moro is when they turn their heads toward the side their cheek is touched
I have my first baby who is 6 weeks old so this is great!!! Thank you!!!! 💗
This was excellent!! Thanks!
I love baby tips! You can never know too much when it comes to babies 😃
I love the black swaddle on your baby, I just didn't see it on the amazon link.
Jordan, you gave a first time mom her sanity back. Thank you. I'm very grateful.
Thank you for sharing your secrets. First time momma hear excited but a bit overwhelmed.
About to have my first child, as many baby videos as you can will help so much! Love this one!
my son would SCREAM when trying to swaddle. and never figured out how to put to sleep while "drowsy not asleep"
Same!
Agree!! 💯 I read Baby Wise and the Dream Sleeper. We still have a white noise machine at 4 & 2
Question- do you play the white noise throughout the night, or switch off when baby is asleep? If crib is close to your bed, does it bother you?
Minus the Jordy hold, we do these same things and it works like a charm. 6 kids here too. The only thing I would modifiy is the 10lb baby being able to sleep longer. My newest baby started out at 10lbs so for him it was more 13lbs to sleep longer at night. 😆
You look amazing 🙌🙌. Amazing tips. Thank you!
Thanks for the video! any suggestion for when baby wakes up after falling asleep and realizes theyre swaddled? Mine will cry and squirm in a swaddle and will not go back to sleep but will also startles himself when his arms are free.
I agree. I did most of that for my second baby it worked. Also don’t expect to babies to sleep through the night right after birth.
Hi Jordan !! I love all your videos and I'm literally only 17 but your life is my actual goal! I love your frugal living and family values and everything, but I was wondering how you would recommend saving as a teenager, like still follow the 70% rule or save more or less ? I know this doesn't apply to most of your audience I just wanted to know what you thought and what you will recommend to your own kids when they get jobs
This has worked!!
Thank you!
I do these things and my little guy is sleeping 11 hours at night :)
Perfect explanation..thank you so.much..
I laughed when ylu said put them down drowsy but awake as you had just rocked your baby to sleep. It is a great thing to do, but you completely undermined yourself.
She did it once bc she was filming. Chill out.
Mother of 2
My advice is strict routine! Swaddling and start at about 8 weeks! I bath and put my babies to sleep at same time every night. I have to say best thing I’ve done. Good luck to the new mums
super tips thank you kindly!
When I had my first baby, I started a nightly routine: food, play, bath, baby massage w/ lavender lotion while talking or singing to him quietly. His body language would indicate he was ready for bed. When he was tiny-tiny I did wrap him up before bed, and he'd sleep sooooo long. When I finally gave in and let him spend a night at Grammy's, she called me, two hours after what should have been his bed time, with him crying and fussing and she was so upset. I had packed the baby lotion, and had discussed in passing our night time routine in the past, but hadn't spelled everything out for her when I left him. I told her if she wanted to get any rest at all, she was going to have to redo bath time, and then walked her through the order I did his baby massage. He didn't stop fussing until he smelled the lotion, and his eyes didn't get heavy until she was finished w/ the massage. :) With my 2nd, I did the same routine for a while, but he eventually stopped responding to it. He wanted to do whatever his brother was doing, at the moment. And he slept so well, too. I think because play time was a little more active with big brother around. Both of my sons were pretty easy, now that I think about it. You just had to know their routines, or it would get difficult. I wrote all this, to express how much I absolutely agree with the idea of routines, based on my own personal experience. Congrats on your new edition!!!
This is the BabyWise method. Works amazingly!!!! Best wipe warmer is....the girls...take the cold for your baby stick them in there and it only takes a few seconds...free and warm!
I discovered a useful collection of videos that may help on Calmer fixer blueprint
Thank you for the advice !
I love that chair. Where did you get it plz?
I love your videos!!!! I just wish u uploaded more than once a week! But all in all I love watching you :)
I feel like I feed the baby constantly. He seems to be a slow/lazy feeder. One night, I nursed him over 2 hours. So now, my solution is I always give him a bottle at night instead of nursing him. This helped a lot. He goes back down way more quickly this way and I’m not exhausted.
My question is you said to make sure to give him a full feeding before he goes down... is this the feeding before bedtime? Or the middle of the night feeding? I don’t want to give him a bottle twice since he’s a newborn and I don’t want him to confuse or become disinterested in breastfeeding
I will be trying this tonight!!
Just in case anyone watching this doesn't know about the car seat sleeping. It's okay for baby to sleep in the car seat in the car because the base keeps the correct angle for baby's airway to be clear. DO NOT let baby sleep in a car seat that is not attached to the base it can cause asphyxiation!
This is gold! Thanks!
Thank you for such a positive video! How long do you recommend using a white noise machine with your babies? Up to what age? Do you keep it on the whole time they are sleeping? My son is now 13 weeks old, sometimes sleeps great, this last week ~~not so much!
This is great for so many moms! For anyone out there who needs more high touch one-on-one sleep coaching we're here to help!
How did you wean your baby off feeding during the night. My baby doesn't always finish a full bottle with every feed.
Any advice or tips on how to get a baby to sleep in bassinet rather than arm?
Please tell me where you got the Rocking chair from. I need one.
Mom of 5...me and my 4 month old are watching this together lol and he is just smiling
wow , great advice, l loved it and your baby is getting so big and so so cute! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just loved your video
Hi Jordan, Which white noise machine do you recommend getting? The link you put to amazon shows a ton of different options. Which is the one shown in your video? Thanks!
Loved this video!! I also really like your green sweater! Where’d you get it?
Fantastic mum, bless you
In order to completely empty your breasts you must start feeding on the last breast offered. Use a marker clip to help you remember. Most babies will fill a diaper once sucking begins. So there is no point in changing before hand. I usually changed before offering the second breast. It wakes them up, they feed better on the second breast and will then sleep better. Being full also leaves no room for gas.
Thank you, I learned a lot.
Nice ,great tips 👍🏻and cutest baby ever God bless 💚
Those are super informative tips! thanks for sharing
Do what works for you and your baby. Noise machines weren’t around when I was a baby and I clearly slept, but if it helps your baby use it. We are all better parents when we sleep as well.
Ugh omg I love you, you have such a nice way of delivering your messages and knowledge. Thank you!
awww Thanks for the LOVE! 🥰
@@jordanpagecompany refer
Thank God my baby at two months without sleep training he sleeps well through the night.
Really useful. Thank you.
So glad you liked it!
I will send you my baby to train her lol , you are amazing
Aww! I love baby snuggles!
Jordan Page, FunCheapOrFree you are awesome , I love your channel, tips and humour . God bless your home
You have a beautiful baby
Great tips, Confused it looks like you’re feeding him to sleep in the beginning?
Also wondering this
Clearly bc she's filming this vid she's altered it a bit.
Amazing!!!
Thought the Jordy hold was going to be how the heck you hold a baby and a bottle with one hand arm. We need that video! I think that’s the true secret to your productivity. ;)
🤣
This was spot of! Thanks!! Would you do a video on how to cope with being sick yourself and taking care of a sick toddler while also taking care of other children?!?!
Awesome!!!!
Someone read Tracy Hogg’s The Baby Whisperer LOL
Omg thank you so much!!!
Where is your chair from? ❤️
so useful thank you!!!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
