I have no idea if you wrap or swaddled James fit sleep. It was a foreign concept for me when I had my first child as I was from the UK living in Australia and that is what the Aussies do so I gave it a go. I was also taught to teach him to sleep by swaddling and just sitting next to the crib with my hand on him when needing soothed, gradually moving further away from the crib. Eventually he learned to go back to sleep by himself. I never did controlled crying I just couldn’t do it. But the swaddling was great, I used it for all three of my kids. Good luck.

Great post Daniel! Athough my days of having a baby have been gone for years (mine are 12, 10, and 8), I remember like yesterday the trouble we had getting them to sleep. Thankfully at 12 weeks we read the book Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. I highly recommend it. It gives real life examples of parents and their baby’s sleep struggles and I felt so relieved we weren’t the only ones hanging on by a thread. It also talks about the importance of naps. If I hadn’t read this book with my first born, I don’t know how I would have made it. It was hard but worth it! Within a week she was sleeping through the night. now all go to bed at 8pm and sleep till 7!

Ask Jamie’s dr about the possibility of acid reflux. It was our grandson”s problem and once the dr prescribed meds for that he started sleeping better. Good luck. He is adorable!

We had preemie twins and a 21 month old. The twins would be up all night and just when we’d get them down for a longer chunk of time, our toddler would be up ready to play. We used the method from the book Sleeping Through The Night by Jodi Mindell. The author was even kind enough to respond when I posted a question on her website regarding sleep training for preemies. Her method worked great for us. The other thing that helped was white noise. We ran a humidifier without water in it in their rooms since the time they were babies, seemed to always help them fall asleep and stay asleep.
Good luck!

Co-sleeping. If that feels right. On a very primal level it did for us!

He’s so beautiful!! Congrats. Now I’m no expert on sleep training but both my babies slept through the night by 3 months and it was thanks to my dads advice. Which I thought was appropriate :) I don’t believe in the crying thing.. my goodness they’re babies and they just want to be loved. Several things helped a lot. 1) let them get enough sleep during the day. The more uninterrupted naps they got.. the sweeter and easier they are to console at night. 2) put them down when they’re tired, but clearly okay with just looking around and cooing. I know it’s super cute when they do this. But if you always rock them to sleep they’ll never learn to just let themselves go to sleep. If they get stressed or upset pick them up. 3) don’t make so much eye contact at night (my dad says this is super important)

Enjoy him! He’s so perfect .

It’s really lovely to come to this site–charming, full of real people and real life (to say nothing of awesome food). Happy Holidays to all of you!!! Paula

We sleep trained our first at 12 weeks on the recommendation of our pediatrician. It took three nights and he has been a great sleeper ever since. With our second, the situation was different. I was riddled with postpartum depression and anxiety, our life had mostly come to a standstill as a results, and my husband was doing everything he could to keep the lights on. She didn’t sleep through the night until she was a year old. I wasted a lot of energy feeling like a failure and worrying about the repercussions, instead of celebrating that we all were surviving as best we could a very difficult time. She is turning seven next week and is a great sleeper too.
