Sharing buttons:
now to a problem all of us parents have
faced at some point how do you get your
baby to sleep and gender you've got
little baby miles at home and this is
something that you struggle with so you
went to the expert you got advice from
the baby sleep boss it's a real thing
because I needed it yes my first son
Adrian he slept through the night no
problem then baby miles came along and
he did not so we were up two to three
times a night and I know a lot of you
new parents have been there but here
this my kid is now sleeping 11 hours
straight and it was actually pretty easy
I love playing with my son Adrian and
Miles during the day but at night my
home was becoming a nightmare baby miles
wasn't sleeping through the night so
neither was I welcome to a typical night
at my house it's 2:40 a.m. I have to be
up and about an hour and missing any
sleep is difficult and we're missing it
I shared my struggles online hoping
somebody had an answer reaching out the
help sleep coach Dana Obama's there are
steps you can take to fix the situation
I believe that once you teach a child to
sleep well it is the benefit to the
entire family she's known as the baby
sleep boss I'm just at a loss right now
as to what to do next and I feel like I
am not alone that's right save us I will
I will save you cuz we're about to fall
asleep
mid interview we're so tired Dana
outlines her three-step plan number one
closely monitor what he eats we should
be able to get everything he needs in
that 12 hours of day next make sure he's
getting enough daytime sleep well it's
great to have a little nap routine and
finally get rid of the props that baby's
off the news to help go to sleep most
commonly it's breast feeding to sleep or
bottle feeding to sleep for miles
it's his bottle and then he's going to
have a wake up in the night and
wondering how do I do this without that
help and need somebody to come in baby
sleep boss telling us for night one give
him half of what he usually gets for his
2:30 a.m. wake up then take the bottle
away completely on night 2
gonna be tough what here you move it I
do all this stuff
her advice for miles is cries for the
bottle so I would just go in every ten
minutes
you know you can touch him and you can
just repeat that process every 10
minutes until he's asleep night one of
sleep training after miles is bedtime
bottle I follow Dana's advice and read
him a book to try to break up his
association with the bottle and sleep
but later no I have to sit here in my
room and check on him every 10 minutes I
feel guilty but I know this has to
happen again I followed Dana's advice
waiting to go in to give miles his
bottle
he actually soothes himself and falls
back asleep without it and when I
checked him with Dana the next morning
sometimes we get off easy on night one
and night two ends up being the harder
night night to 343 a.m. I had to go in
to soothe him that just seems to make
him angrier Ben tries to he's been up
for almost 45 minutes and about a half
hour of pretty intense screaming time to
check in again with the baby sleep boss
but he's made it two nights in a row now
with no bottle so that should be the
worst of it night 3 miles stirs a little
at the usual time but he falls back
asleep
a total of 11 hours Dana warns there can
be a regression on night 5 but miles
keep sleeping 11 hours a night
soothing himself back even if he wakes
up this is pretty exciting hmm I slept
through the night thank you
[Applause]
Peter report miles is still sleeping
that 11 hours a night a study though was
recently released about kids saying that
