Any advice for breastfed babies who need to contact sleep (naps and night time sleep)? Is there a way for them to sleep independently without momma being right next to them?

Watching this with 4 weeks untill labor and realizing that I need to train myself the same way I will train my baby. Great video, thank you!

One thing I sort of intuitively did with my son when he was ~6 months+ was as soon as we woke up we'd look at the morning sun 🌞 (not *directly* of course) but to set our circadian rhythm and he has always been such a champion sleeper! ✨ It might be worth a try for other mamas

[elizabethshaklee]

Just wanted to say the very first tip 1000% works!!! New momma of a 5 week old baby girl here - for her first full day of life right after the birth, I woke her up at 7:30a.m., then continued to do so every morning and she now consistently sleeps in until 7:25 - 7:35a.m. every single morning, and she has a very predictable nap schedule. ❤

My observation for good sleep is to have a transition routine not only for night sleep but also for naps. I started putting my baby in the crib with a quiet music toy above her before she has started showing signs for being tired. She would continue to play with it for a while and than fall asleep with no additional help or sucking anything. My baby is exclusively breastfed but I never use that as a way to calm her for a nap.

We did this with our now 15 month old & seeing a video from you is so validating!! I had PPD & PPA and was the only mom in our circles who didn’t sleep train - I had many awful moments of intense self doubt and anxiety so it’s so nice to watch this video and feel the extra peace of mind that I still did right by my baby! (First time mom).

[Zcharmalou]

Wooaah. I've been doing all of these since my baby turned 6 months and I must say, it's very effective and helpful to us new parents.

Currently in the beginning stages of very light sleep training because I couldn't commit to letting her cry for a long time, this video couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you!!!

[ashleym]

My son just doesn't want to sleep because there's too much to see and explore, lol. I remind myself that this too shall pass 😆

[chandilove]

This seems much more realistic and less draining then sleep training. I am a second time mom, my son is 4 weeks and my daughter is 6. With my first I sleep trained her, letting her cry it out... it worked but it was hard to do mentally and emotionally and everytime she got sick it would ruin the whole training we did. And she got sick a lot (mostly after vaccinations) so we would have to sleep train again and again. This time I'm doing it different. I'm not to worried about sleep training, I know my son will get on a schedule eventually and besides they grow SO fast, I'm embracing it all much more this time around.

[PujaPaulDash]

I cannot thank you enough for all the videos! My husband and I constantly keep checking your videos to ensure we are well informed and doing the best we can for our first baby! Love from Canada. ❤️

Amazing advice! I feel validation that waking up my daughter at 7 am is OK and necessary after watching this with her approaching 6 months in 5 days. Everyone would always say LET HER SLEEP, But I knew as she gets older it would effect her wake windows and nap schedule.

[lineasdessertdiary]

I've probably watched all your sleep videos and been taking your advice. For the first time today, my 5 month old fell asleep on his own.
You're brilliant. Thank you for all your help.

I keep having family pout at the fact that I've trained my baby to sleep in a dark room with a noise machine during the day for every nap. It's been key to extending those naps and avoiding an overtired baby. It obviously means we always have to leave early and stick to a schedule. They say that I should train my baby to sleep in noisy and lit up environment but it never seemed right to me.

[RandomPerson]

Getting my baby up at the same time every morning was probably the biggest game-changer

[lindsaywait]

Thanks for sharing! I haven't used sleep training with my kids but we do all 4 of these things. Of course each kid is unique, some sleeping better than others, and there are phases like teething or travel that mess us schedules. We just don't stress and the kids seem to do the same!

[eileengerardino]

Great video, Emma! Do you have any recommendations regarding sleep regressions? My daughter was sleeping well and is now having difficulty even with a routine. Any tips would be wonderful.

[melissahowe]

Ive been doing a schedule since month 4 and he sleeps great. He is like mama, likes consistency lol and once our routines became really consistent then he felt comfortable in the space and that mom would respond, then i was able to set him down and give him a kiss and then leave the room. But if he cries at all then i stay with him and i think that creates a sense of trust. He is 5 months. And naps 3 hours total. I can be more flexible with the two morning naps 3-45 min naps, 1 -1.5 hr nap then 1 -45min nap in either order. But I noticed that the last nap is key for a good bedtime (in the case that i have to have him in bed by a certain time so i can work) he goes to sleep easy if he is awake 2.5 hours before bed. Any shorter than that he will be nursing for like an hour.
Also if he sleeps in for somereason, like til 7am instead if 6:30 then i count it out from one of his naps of the day. I try to continue the other naps as similar as usual. It seems to work. I know the wake windows work for him. It was a weird transition at first but after a week maybe his body was used to it and suddenly he was taking 1 less nap

This upload was more than timely as last night was a very rough night for baby and me. Seeing this as today’s upload made me chuckle a little bit because I literally thought “does Emma live near me and heard us get up hourly??” 😂

[queeniebelletagulob]

Thank you so much, I really need this because lately it's hard for my baby to fall asleep
