Hey fellow dads - son is 4 months old and has a solid sleeping schedule of sleeping for 4 hours straight and then waking up every hour. At least once or twice when he wakes up he’ll be up for 30 mins - 1 hour at like 3 am. We’ve been considering the Ferber method but wanted to hear if you guys had any other suggestions. Thanks!

When do you put him down for bed? When and how long does he nap during day?

I ask because what is likely happening is he is transitioning sleep cycles and can’t fall back asleep while in transition. Something wakes him up mid transition, a noise, a pee etc and the can’t get back down. Also 4 months is right around the time they go through a sleep regression as well so this could also be temporary.

Hope this helps.

He’s doing 1000x better now. Thanks guys!

Hey - son is 7 months old now and sleeps 10-12 hrs through at night

Takes 3 naps of 30-60 mins each and averages around 13.5 hrs daily total sleep

We started tracking and managing to wake windows from a few months back , tried to get him to goto sleep independently (without a lot of rocking etc) during the day for naps and that helped us

Use an app - huckleberry to track the details.

Used Something like the Ferber method 1/2/3/5/10/15 but rarely went up to 15 and took about 3-5 days to get to a point where he could start going to sleep on his own for his daytime naps if we put him down at the right time with some degree of drowsiness/sleep pressure

Now we rarely let him cry even up to 10 mins as we’ve realized he usually cries for a specific reason (poopie diaper, a burp, teething, managed to wet his clothes even with a diaper, hunger pangs, occasionally just wants to be held, new surroundings)

10-12, I wish lol funny enough he can knock out 3 30-60 mins naps a day. It’s just overnight he’ll get fussy out of nowhere.

We rock to sleep every night. Wanted to do Ferber so that isn’t a reliance of his. Happy to hear it worked for you, and we can track with huckleberry.

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Am I overthinking? contd.
