mines almost all night

Hi @Abby – Thanks for writing, and I am sorry that you have been struggling with your baby’s sleep and schedule! it does sound like he may not be the right amount of tired! he may need a little more time to “unwind” for bed, and a solid routine may help that! Keep trying! Have you checked out our free sample schedules? here is a link to access all of them, and you can use them as a guide:

Please contact us if you’d like more help and good luck!

Yeah, I also have the same experience with this guide. My child after 7 days slept ALONE in his crib and I and my husband have the whole bed and night for us. The problem with colic is also solved! In principle, I have all guides from Susan Urban so I can honestly recommend them, I know them almost by heart;)

Indeed! The HWL method fulfills the two most important functions: brings up babies and gives the right amount of love, which is really important in the infant and child period. Im a pediatrician, I know what Im talking about 😉 I read a book from Susan Urban about how to put children to sleep and problems related to this “How to teach a baby to fall asleep alone” and I must say that it is a translation of the language of science into one, that goes to a tired and overworked parent 😉

thanks for sharing! This guide saved my sanity and it made it so quickly! love the hwl!

Sleep training is the best thing what parents can do for a baby and for themselves! I also used Susan Urban’s guide ‘how to teach a baby to fall asleep alone’ and after 5 days we got rid of rocking to sleep and night feedings. This method is without CIO so I can recommend it to anyone who wants to start baby sleep training. Life is much better when your baby sleeps trough the night! You can use the HWL method from the guide also to solve problems like short naps, early morning or night awakenings and transitioning to a crib.. Your welcome 😉

Could you tell a little bit more, about this? I’m interested 😀 i’m in 7th month in pregnant with first baby, so now I searching for tips and advice for near future <3

Sasha, you have absolutelly right! I have read different theories on how to put babies to sleep, some advise not to rock, just put on cot, some said can rock… but like you say, the best thig is experience when we learn to read the sleep cues from our baby, but…

Few months ago I was trying to put my girl (12 Month) to sleep by going thru bedtime ritual which include bath, milk, book…then I was putting her in her cot awake and sit by the cot. She was getting up and stand in the cot, then I was putting her down and we were “wrestle” like that for 45 mins, 30 mins, 20 mins etc.. (wow, it was tiring!). And I was questioning myself am I doing the right thing? Will I make my baby detest sleeping?

But, my friend told me about HWL method. It is easy, fast, and not harmful to my baby girl. I recomend also a book How to teach a baby to fall asleep alone by Susan Urban. If someone of you dear moms try, share with your experience for help another moms <3 we should be more helpfull for each others :))

Kisses,

Diana M.
