Sounds like keeping them awake during the day is the ticket to sleeping at night. Wife and I are doing shift work at night trying to let the other person sleep at night. This damn kid cries 5 minuets after putting her in the crib like clock work

Have you ever used the cry it out method? I just feel like we come running the second she makes a cry and it’s not good for anyone. Baby will never learn to sleep by herself and we’re running on fumes to stay awake.There’s a few ways of sleep training them but honestly she’s a newborn, it’s just how it is. After a few months she’ll start getting in to a routine easier as long as you keep on it.
With our current baby (he’s now 7m) we did the pick up put down method. Our doctor told us to try the one where you let them cry for 5 then pick them up then next day 10 etc etc. that didn’t work. We still gave/give him a few minutes to settle himself which he usually figures out but sometimes need to just pick him up to settle him.Have you ever used the cry it out method?

I think it is recommended to wait until 3 months until the cry it out deal is used. I felt the same way and it was said to me to wait until 3 months minimum.Have you ever used the cry it out method?

Nope. Wife was looking into that but I don’t think she bought one yet.smug do you guys have a sound machine/white noise thing? My wife was saying it has to be at a certain db to soothe them. It is evidently a similar static noise to the womb. It has helped us a fair bit. I will find out what db

Our 3yo is currently getting out of bed in the middle of the night and coming into our room...every night. It's become so routine, we put a sleeping pad with blankets on the floor so he can just lay down and go to sleep. I'm sure that's partly enabling the behavior, but we're getting tired of trying to put him back in his own bed at 2am.
Maybe 4 days a week now she will go down for 4-5hrs at once overnight. Hoping we can get down to that being almost every night by the time I’m done with paternity leave in February
I’m glad we were able to do it, it’s been a huge relief for us both.It’s nice that you could stagger your leaves like that.
Shit dude... it never ends. My 7 year old does it, my 3 year old does it, hell my 2 year old is the only one who sleeps through the night.Our 3yo is currently getting out of bed in the middle of the night and coming into our room...every night.

Technology provides constant source of entertainment. We didn’t have that shit growing up. You had some toys or get your ass outside. Learning to be bored is a good skillSpeaking of kids, does anyone else feel like kids dont appreciate anything anymore? I feel like my 7 year old daughter just expects fun things, for example i joined lifetime over the weekend as a place to work out and bring the kids for the pool... I took her and her sister swimming last night and she said she didn't have any fun in the pool and was bored...
I am like WTF, why are you acting like this..
