Sleep training is be made up of long stages, and you really need to put your time and effort in it, regardless of how erratic your schedule is. Your baby may be totally different from others, so aside from knowing the expected scenario during training, you should also ensure that you satisfy your baby’s growing needs.
Day One
The first night may be one of the most difficult stages of the training. You need to do the preparations, such as the bedtime routines before putting the child to sleep. You should be prepared to lose some more sleep because the child will manifest separation anxiety during this time. You can let the child nap in the daylight and turn the lights off during night time.
Day Two
The second day involves continuing what you have already started. You can do night time feeding but also make sure that you do not overstimulate your child. You may then try to determine what bedtime routine soothes your child.
Day Three
This is when a lot of crying will start to take place. When you start changing the rules, children especially those who are 5 to 6 months, can get really upset. Infants who are below 5 months will also cry too, but when they do, it will only last for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Day Four
During this time, the baby will start learning that he can’t get his demands out of crying. You should never give in and you should always be consistent. Just continue with the routine because when you stop, you will end up doing things all over again.
Day Five
In the fifth day, your baby may display some improvements. He will get the idea that he can tolerate being away, and he will be less likely to cry a lot. Try to not overfeed your child to avoid wet diapers that can wake him up again.
According to experts, babies start to tell the difference between night and day when they reach 6 to 8 weeks. This is the ideal period that the child can establish a good sleep routine and start having healthy sleeping habits. During this stage, you can start by having a regular bedtime routine for your child. You can also accompany the routine with a warm bath or feeding before bedtime. Sleep training a few weeks old baby can be made especially if the child is an easy sleeper.
First 3 Months
During the first three months, your baby will start learning to sleep more during night time and less during the day. The child typically wakes up once during the night for food. This is the best time to adjust the sleeping routine of your baby as he starts to develop and mature.
4 to 6 Months
Within four to six months, a baby typically starts developing a regular pattern for sleeping and waking. Night feedings also decrease and babies are already capable of sleeping from 8 to 12 hours during the night. You can always satisfy the needs of your child by knowing the developmental and sleep training stages. In this way, you will be more confident to start and continue with the training without any problem at all.
