I really like your videos. You set the right and healthy age appropriate expectations. Seeing on social media and being asked about if my 2 month old is sleeping through the night does not make sense.
Thanks so much for all the information. I couldn’t get my baby to sleep at night until I had him sleep right next to me on the bed, but I’m scared of SIDS so I want to transition him to sleep in play pen in our room. He’s 7 weeks old and I don’t know if its too early or too late for this change. He cries so much when we put him down anywhere and in the day time he sleeps 2-3 hr stretches but only in our arms or in his swing. Any more tips?
Getting your newborn to sleep well (on their own) can be challenging. It's definitely not too early OR too late. We can always get babies sleeping well, no matter the age or situation. Here's my 2 month old sleep guide: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-help-2-month-old-baby-sleep-well Swaddling baby can help him settle easier and sleep better. I love the SwaddleMe blanket. You can get him to sleep by holding, rocking or feeding- then gently place him in the Pack n Play. It's ok to help young babies fall asleep. Also, play white noise all night long and darken the bedroom. My sleep guide above has lots more tips. I hope they help! Jilly
I have a month old and I’m finding that a heartbeat song noise is helping out. Her naps are a full 15 minutes in the crib without waking up. I’m hoping to continue this week and get to the 30 minute naps. The heartbeat song is from Apple music
How do you teach a baby this age (between 1 and 2 months) to connect sleep cycles so that they will take longer naps? He is able to at night but not during naps for some reason. My 6 week old will nap for 1.5 to 3 hours on me, but will only top out at 45 minutes sleeping alone in his crib/bassinet..
Hello Danielle, Thanks so much for your message. With our little babies that are still in that "fourth trimester", we really can't do very much to help them connect sleep cycles since it is more of a developmental change that happens later on. We often see babies connect sleep cycles closer to 5 months after the 4 month regression occurs. I am attaching our 2 month old sleep guide though! It has many helpful tips that can improve your little one's sleep and help to form healthy sleep habits early on. Let me know if you have any questions!

That's great! However, you might want to move that longer sleep stretch towards night time? This article will tell you everything on how to avoid day/night confusion: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-help-2-month-old-baby-sleep-well/ Artemis, BSMS Support Team
So do I wake up my 2 months old at night for feeding? I don't even know how long she would sleep, because I am scared and always wake her up after 8 hours...
Hello! I would talk to your LO's pediatrician to see how your LO is doing with weight gain. It is normal for a 2 month old to still need 2-3 night feeds :) Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
Hi l, love the video. For nap times during the day would you also say darken the room and play white noise? Also, what would you say is a good routine for bedtime? Does it always have to include bath time every night? Thanks!
Hello! Thank you so much for watching. Once your LO is no longer dealing with day/night confusion, it can definitely be helpful to have your LO nap in a darkened room for naps. I would also recommend playing white noise (especially on the go). Your LO is also at a great age to start a consistent and peaceful nightly routine. I would recommend checking out of starter kit. It is perfect for babies at this age and getting them started on an amazing sleep foundation!

My daughter is 2.5 months. She was doing really good going to sleep about 830pm would sleep till around 3-4 am eat and go back to sleep. I was able to put her in her bassinet no problem. We need to switch her to the pack and play which we are struggling with. But within the last week she refuses to be put down while sleeping. She will be sound asleep and I put her down and she is wide awake. Its like this for sleep and Naps. She hates being swaddled hates it. I just don't know what to do we have tried everything she won't even sleep in the bassinet anymore.
Our LOs become more aware and can start to resist being put down. Here is our guide for 2 month olds: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-help-2-month-old-baby-sleep-well But also I really would recommend swaddling as it can really help. You could also try a swaddle sleepsack. Clare, BSMS Support Team

My baby is 7.5 weeks and for about a week he is only napping for about 30-45 minutes at a time which I,do understand is normal. Sometimes I try to get him back down for another short nap if he isn't do for a feed and still seems tired but I am not sure if that is counter productive or not. He also has been falling asleep at about 5:30-6:30pm and starting his long night stretches from then, getting 3-4 hour stretches and only waking up for about a half hour or so to feed. So he is essentially "night sleeping" from about 5:30pm until 7 or 8 am. Is this too much night sleep? Is that a thing? 😅
Hi Haley! What you're describing is very normal for a newborn :) Their night sleep organizes first, then naps develop. At this point, I would just try to make sure he is eating throughout the day and try to get him rest but know that in a few months, you will begin to see naps develop and lengthen. So great that he's doing so well at night, yay!! Ingrid, BSMS Support Team

interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover 4 month old baby sleep try Calmer fixer blueprint (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.
My boy of 2 months naps like 20-30 minutes ever since 7pm and wakes up again after we lay him down in bed. He's been doing this for almost 13 hours, although he looks really sleepy, he doesn't fall into a deep sleep, so basically, he's been awake for that long. I don't know if this is normal but, as a new Dad, it's troubling me.
Hi! Congratulations on your little one! I completely understand your struggles, this can be concerning for parents. However, most often it's just day vs night confusion, or a schedule issue. Having a bedtime routine can also help A LOT!

My 10 week old baby refuses to nap during the day on his crib. At night he sleeps perfectly on his crib and does long stretches but at day he only wants to be held. I am taking care of the brightness of his room but not sure what else I can do to help him sleep at his room during the day. Do you have any tips?

Thank you so much for the information. I'm little concerned about my daughter she is 2 and half months old and she is sleeping all the night without waking up for feed. Even if I wake her up to feed she just refuse or having a feed about 5 min and falling asleep. Should I worry about this.. mornings she is fine and active. And she always turns to her side to sleep. Not on her back.
Hello Sadhana, I would definitely chat with your LO's pediatrician. Every baby has different feeding needs and your pediatrician knows your daughter's health history best and can let you know if she can go without feeds at night! Best, Alyssa, BSMS Support Team
My 2 month old baby is very late to sleep during night, she sleeps by 3 am in morging and gets up by 11 am. Being a working mother it's very hard for me this schedule. Kindly advice a solution to make her sleep earlier.
Oh man this sounds super tough! Yes, we have a guide just for this, about gradually shifting your LOs schedule earlier. www.babysleepmadesimple.com/bedtime-for-3-month-old Good luck! Clare, BSMS Support Team
Thanks for this, very helpful. Quick question, my little one needs to be held for 20 to 30 minutes before being put back to bed, otherwise he becomes very fussy in bed. He doesn't cry, but he has a poor sleep (i.e. wakes up every 5 minutes) unless I do that. This means however that I get very little sleep. Not sure what to do.... (I tried the pick up/put down method but it doesn't seem to work either).
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful! How old is your little one? We don't recommend formal sleep training at 2 months old (if that's how old your baby is), but you can gently try getting them to sleep independently by following the advice in this article: www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-help-2-month-old-baby-sleep-well/ Let me know if your baby is older so I can send you the appropriate article. BTW, we've got incredible Black Friday deals running on our website right now. If you plan on sleep training your baby, you could get the program now and use it when they're old enough!

@@Babysleepmadesimple thank you for replying ! Also was looking at your nap schedule. My baby sleeps for more than an hour during her naps(when she does nap). Do I wake her after 40 mins ?
Hi! How can i best let my baby (2,5 month) sleep in her bed? I swaddle her, normally she only falls a sleep in my arms then. If i put her in her bed then while sleeping she wakes up almost immediately always. I would like to put her in her bed awake. But im not sure how i should go about it.
Congratulations on your newest addition! The first few weeks can be so challenging and exhausting with sleep all over the place. It does get better; I promise! Babies aren’t developmentally ready to learn how to fall asleep independently until they turn 5 months old. However, there are plenty of tips and tricks that can be implemented during the infant stage to help improve sleep! I would highly recommend reading about these strategies in our 2 month old sleep guide attached here. www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-help-2-month-old-baby-sleep-well It can also be really helpful to chat with a sleep consultant!

Hi! don’t know if i’m late and if you’ll answer me. I am a full time college student with a 2 month old. he doesn’t sleep at all at night, i feel like i never got to establish a schedule when he came home since college had literally just started. my little one consistently wakes up at 7am. i feed him and when i go to lay him down on his crib, he starts to cry, then he latches on and falls asleep, I think he may be using me as a pacifer since i only breastfeed and rarely use a bottle with expressed milk. he does this a lot, not to mention he has a hard time burping after feeds. i also have a hard time reading his cues. but he seems to nap okay in the day, sometimes i have to feed him multiple times for him to sleep and we find ourselves with an overtired baby all the time. i don’t know how to introduce a sleep schedule, he just cries everytime i lay him down, but he falls asleep fine in my arms after sucking on me.

My baby is 2 months old and he only sleeps for 3 to 4 hours in day time and for rest of the day he plays happily and demand feeding frequently.. and for night time he sleeps around 12 or 1 and woke up at 6 or 7 daily.. Is it fine to not give him feeling in night because this is the only time he sleeps well.. and as he is having sufficient milk till 12 Am at night he can sleep without night feeding he may already consumed sufficient calories.. is it like this..?? Please suggest.. even if my baby is happy baby I worried about his night sleep as it's longer..but I really don't want to disturb his sleep as this is the only time he sleeps well..
Hi Bena, It's great that your little one is sleeping so well at night at this age. Please talk to your baby's doctor about his nutrition needs, if the doctor thinks he's eating enough then there is no need to wake him in the night!

My 2 months old weights ~9kg, she can sleep unswaddled quite alright so we have stopped swaddling her. Her naps on daytime ranges from 40mins-2+hrs. Recently i start to wait when she start to fuss a little and she managed to go back on her nap. The issue is that she needs to be nursed to sleep/nap. How do i adjust her into the cycle of eat-wake-sleep?
Hello! Check out our 2 month old sleep guide for helpful tips! Try to feed your LO after she wakes up from a nap. You could try some gentle rocking to sleep instead of nursing her to sleep for naps. Alyssa, BSMS Support Team www.babysleepmadesimple.com/how-to-help-2-month-old-baby-sleep-well
My 6 weeks old he takes a nap for 30 minutes and then wakes up crying looking for milk but he drink good before he goes to nap so that’s mine he’s really hungry or just he wants to hold?
At this age, we really want to feed on demand. Whenever your baby asks for it, just go for it. Naps as short as 30 minutes is very common at 6 weeks old!

@Anna Y I wish but he works 12hr on average and his job is very stressful and tiring , he helps in his days off and with house chores and where he can . Now she is almost 4 months old and she is the same she wakes up every 1:30/2hr at night and her naps are no longer than 40 min 🤷 I am waiting until she is 6 months so I can sleep train her 😣
@@nisha13139 oh thank you ❤️❤️❤️ now she is doing much better on her naps but her nights are crazy . She would wake up every 2-3 hrs in the middle of the night and refuses to go to sleep , I think it has to do with her Rolling over ... I am waiting for her to start solids and I get an OK from her doctor not to feed during the night so that I could sleep train her even though it is heartbreaking to hear her cry 😅😅🤷
We have a 2 month old baby boy. He's been struggling with colics since he was born. We think he got better from that but now he has reflux. We bought him reflux bottles and we got him reflux formula. What are we doing wrong??? He had some good days but most of the time it's bad days. He wakes up from his naps in minutes
So sorry to hear that. I would go to your baby's doctor and ask for advice on what is best to do to make your little comfortable. Clare, BSMS Support Team
Same :( We invested in a few items that helps a lot. But here I am watching this video because he still wakes up quickly and only sleeps long if he's on me. The items we got that helps: Humidifier Exercise ball (I bounce on it with him. It tends to put him in a deeper sleep) A good pacifier (which I remove before putting him down) And definitely swaddle, black out curtains and white noise
I'm so sorry to hear this. It's really hard in those first few months. This article has amazing newborn sleep tips that will hopefully help you more! Reach out if you need more help. www.babysleepmadesimple.com/newborn-1-2-3-month-old-baby-sleep-tips/ /Artemis, BSMS Support Team
