I watched this video yesterday I’m not kidding when I say my son has not fought his sleep when I implemented some of the tips you gave. I took note of his wake window, stuck to a simple nap time routine and made sure his sleeping environment is set up perfectly and without distractions. He falls asleep within minutes!! I am amazed. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
You are my hero! My little guy just hit his sleep regression and it’s been hard, but this video is super informative and I like how calm you are. This makes me feel like I’m not doing it wrong as a parent.
My baby is not settling well in the Snoo once she hit 4 months, and she wants night feedings to get back to sleep every 2 hours. She was a great sleeper before the regression! Plus she has been rolling to her belly since 3 months and hates how it restrains her. I appreciate that you shared your experience and I think I’m going to try and transition her to her crib in the nursery (which already has blackout blinds). I just think she will be happier, and so will we. She already has had 1.5-2hr wake windows but only 30 minute naps usually. And most of them she is sleeping on me. I’m struggling with household chores because I literally have no time apart from her except 1.5 hour stretches of sleep at night.
Baby boy is hitting that sleep regression right now! When he was younger, he would wake up, nappy change, play a bit if not hungry, feed, play again and sleep. It has been like that from 1m old to until sleep regression. I tried routines and a lot of things in there and obviously he was fighting sleep times and particularly crying a lot. Later on, I realised that it was not crying from fighting the sleep but rather he was hungry! That sleep regression also comes with increased appetite/need to feed (or a growth spurt or extra calories for the changes happening?), which I didn't realise straight away, as this crying before sleep was different from crying for food. So now I feed him before (sometimes I forget feeding!) and he is easier to put him down to sleep - still crying though but less! Maybe that would help too 😊
I am taking care of my first grandchild at 64, so I am relearning so much. He was eating every 2 hours. He was born premature at 30 weeks but exhausting. Lol During the day if he goes to sleep while taking a bottle but I don't want him to sleep I change his diaper or his clothes. That wakes him. He didn't like tummy time, but that really helps to exhaust him for later on so that he sleeps better. Babies need tummy time from the very beginning in different ways. He also needs to work on arm strength. I have to figure out how much he could drink without spitting up so that he would sleep well. He went from 3 lbs 12 oz to 16 lbs in 5 months and realized he doesn't need a lot of clothes on at night or he gets hot and fussy. I had purchased some very soft burp cloths, and he likes those when you dab his lips and let him hold onto it. Otherwise, the other ones, rougher, wake him. But also, if I just take that very soft cloth and put under his neck anyone that place him in his pack and play and he doesn't wake due to a sudden cold spot behind his neck. I purchased a nice pack and play mattress because the original one is just a board with barely a pad. I believe he is teething, so i tried it, and he likes his formula cold now. I also think he is lactose intolerant, like the rest of our family, so I put lactose drops in his formula. It helps with the gassyness. If he starts suddenly crying, I know to do the bicycle thing to relieve gas or rock his hips with his knees up. Because our daughter has a rare bone marrow disease (PNH), and there was a problem when he was born because they had to suddenly take him due to bleeding. He was diagnosed with a PVL grade 1, which means he could have cerebral palsy or some other type of problem. So every day that I have him, I know his parents do it too, we do different exercises tell his brain how his arms and legs should move.... just in case their is a signal problem. Read, sing, explain, talk, allow them to talk back and make faces at each other. I make up silly songs about Rex changing his clothes like this arm in or this arm out, etc. That way he knows what I'm doing to him. He is very happy. Sing songs to them because they learn quickly through songs. I remember teaching this same 😅daughter, when she was 4 or 5, our address to the song from 1-800-95-Jenny. Lol. I realized that she was singing the commercial, so I changed the words to our address and phone number. ❤ from Grandma
We ended up co-sleeping to get through the 4 month regression. It helped us get through the 8 month one with barely a bump! White noise has been so useful too ☺️
This was a very thoughtfully made video! Thank you! We are in the midst of my son’s sleep regression and I’m feeling more encouraged than ever to help him learn how to sleep. Pray for us 😁🙏🏼💤
I really need this video. I'm watching this with my 21 weeks old baby who's refusing to sit stable right now😂 and busy making the same sounds as your cute girl❤
Thank you! My son had a rougher than normal week but it wasn't horrible until Saturday night when he woke up every 1.5 hours 😭 We worked hard to increase his wake windows Sunday during the day and turned his white noise machine up a notch or 2 Sunday night.... he slept the whole night again 🤯 No idea if he'll keep it up but I'm hoping so
Oh that is wonderful! I really hope he keeps up the good sleep from here on out! I know how hard that is when it feels like nothing is working and they’re waking all hours of the night 😩
We are right in the thick of sleep regression. We moved our daughter to her own room when she was 2 and a half months old only because both me and my wife caught covid and we didn't want her near us when we had our masks off. Thank goodness my daughter is a very good night sleeper but, her napping is the problem. I am going to try to do a combo of widening wake windows but, also she is about to start day care which I think will help her nap better.
My baby has no problem falling asleep is staying asleep... she only naps 30 min I put her down by 7pm give her a dream feed at 11:00pm and around 4am a bottle. But she will stirr and wake up every hour or 2 hours so I'm using the paci for now. When does this end? My baby is 4.5 month
I had read somewhere that what we start during the regression will stick. After the midnight feed my bub would wake at 3am, then every hour after. I let her resettle after the 3am, when I know she wasn't hungry. The next night got abit better.. And now we're back to only 2 dream fed and no other real stirring. Good luck
Not sure if you can help, my problem is actually getting my 4 month old to sleep, she screams uncontrollably for around 3 hours non stop every night, it started around 2 weeks ago, she wakes up once in the night for a bottle and goes straight back to sleep no issues. Not sure what to do but struggling a lot right now
Mine has started cat napping since 2m. We ended up try resettle her each nap. Is yours cat napping during the day? If she does do you rescure her naps or let her wake up after 45min? I find if i let my little one wake up she wont be awake for 1.5hrs, i need to settle her for another nap within an hour. And she is cranky.

desperately watching this while my four month old won’t sleep for more than 40 mins throughout the night

Same here 😢

Wow that is awesome to hear the 8 month went so smoothly! Thanks for sharing about that! 💛
Please tell me more about co sleeping to beat the regression! How did it help?
Same!!
We started cosleeping too however I can’t say it helped much 🫣
I’d appreciate a video on how you fully blacked out the nursery
This was a very thoughtfully made video! Thank you! We are in the midst of my son’s sleep regression and I’m feeling more encouraged than ever to help him learn how to sleep. Pray for us 😁🙏🏼💤

I.am a father helping my wife through this regression period. This video has tremendously helped us. Thank you indeed.
I am so glad this helped! I remember how desperate those regression times feel.
@@SimpleMomming May God bless your family.. and thank you again.
This. This is so helpful, been looking at so many sleep resources and tips but these are the most helpful that I’ve come across.
Oh yay! This makes my day! Knowing it has helped you 💕 Thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know!
Thank you! My son had a rougher than normal week but it wasn't horrible until Saturday night when he woke up every 1.5 hours 😭 We worked hard to increase his wake windows Sunday during the day and turned his white noise machine up a notch or 2 Sunday night.... he slept the whole night again 🤯 No idea if he'll keep it up but I'm hoping so

@simplemomming do you rock/ sush your baby to sleep or lay them down awake? Does that make a difference? How asleep are they when you put them down?
When does it start exactly? How many weeks old ?
Between 3 -4 months
Not sure if you can help, my problem is actually getting my 4 month old to sleep, she screams uncontrollably for around 3 hours non stop every night, it started around 2 weeks ago, she wakes up once in the night for a bottle and goes straight back to sleep no issues. Not sure what to do but struggling a lot right now
Forgot to mention she naps fine throughout the day, the minute we go into her room for bedtime to routine to start she kicks off
Mine has started cat napping since 2m. We ended up try resettle her each nap. Is yours cat napping during the day? If she does do you rescure her naps or let her wake up after 45min? I find if i let my little one wake up she wont be awake for 1.5hrs, i need to settle her for another nap within an hour. And she is cranky.
Did you find anything that helped you through this? My little one has been doing this with naps since 2mths too.
Super great tips thanks mama
