How did you get your baby to sleep through the night?

Might be worth posting this in the Facebook group The Beyond Sleep Training Project. They will look to troubleshoot based on daytime sleep, existing or undiagnosed issues your baby might have etc. Also important to note that ‘sleeping through the night’ is an unreasonable expectation of a baby for a long time. Some sleep through and some don’t but most don’t. They will look to maximise sleep and aim for longer stretches but multiple wakes in the night is reasonable for a baby x

Getting my daughter up at the same time every morning was the turning point for us with her sleep. Started sleeping through straight away. Shame it took us 16 months to realise! X

Stocking up on milk during the day ( every 2 hours) and doing 2 big bottles before bed. Along with a really consistent bedtime routine.

Just want to say not all babies will sleep through the night. My kid didn’t till 2ish and still has the odd night where he’ll wake. Even big kids will wake if they need something. All you can do is keep giving LO what they need. Try white/brown noise. Make sure nappy is fresh once put down and that they are nice and full x

Once I moved my baby to a crib in the nursery (in her own room). She started sleeping through the night immediately. The first few nights she woke up for one night feeding but after that… it was 12 hours of straight sleep. Not sure if your baby is sleeping in the room with you or in the bed with you but I think being so easy access makes them take full advantage of your proximity.

@Deeana this isn’t always true. My boy would sleep worse the further away he was. It’s really tricky. But it is worth a go if child is older than 6months

I also do many of the things above… consistent routine and waking up at 7 am daily.

Sleep trained - Ferber method. She was 12 months old and took two nights. Better for me and her.
