how I got my newborn to sleep through the night | sleep + eat schedule

'The cry it out method is also not for older babies...! It is not good for any baby/child

Your milk supply doesn't suffer at all? I notice a change in mine when I pump every 4 hours instead of every 2-3. I exclusively pump. Im told to pump whenever baby eats, which is 2-3 hours currently. Shes 1 month old on Monday

[@kaleighstuart9898]

That's a perfectly normal pumping amount for how old your baby is! Your supply won't regulate for atleast another month keep it up Mama! Look up pumping schedules for each month!

[@jessrene2350]

So pump after feeding my baby ? But nothing comes out? I’m trying to increase my milk I make enough to feed him but I need to build a stash of frozen milk

[@BusterJiggs11]

Love this video! How long does it typically take you to get him down for a nap with the 5S's? I'm trying to practice putting my baby down when she's still awake but it's really hard and she cries right away. Any tips??

[@emilypenate4516]

i have a 3 week old who hated his bassinet and i was not a good at swaddling. i bought the Halo swaddle and it’s amazing! 100% recommend. also, i was hesitant to use pacifiers but i decided to implement them bc baby was overeating by self soothing on my breast. i recommend the Evenflo Feeding Balance paci. 😊

Hi, are you exclusively breastfeed the baby? I always get mastitis in the morning just because trying to let him sleep longer

[@KileanRodriguez]

I am!! I have never had mastitis thank GOODNESS. But my only advice would be to slowly push out your feedings so your body can get use to the amount of time you go without feeding. So like one night try to feed every 4 hours, then the next every 5, and so on. Hope this helps 🤎

You’re doing fab mama!! I’m insanely jealous you were gifted with a good sleeper. I tried everything and more with my son. Spent a lot of money on experts and he still wouldn’t sleep. Took til 15 months old to sleep through and he’s still never been amazing. I think some kids just are good sleepers and some are not. You’re doing amazing!

My daughter will be 7 months next week and she does not sleep. She naps 2-3 times during the day but not after 4pm. Bedtime is around 9pm but wakes up 2-3 times at night and is up for the day by 4:30. I need serious help

[@savannahsummerlin2338]

This was so so so helpful. My baby will be 7 weeks tomorrow and my longest stretch I have ever gotten of sleep is 6 hours. I am going too try the 5 S's and the night routine consistently. I am using the owlet every night and other momma's that are reading this and considering getting one it's life changing. I can sleep without having to reach over and touch my baby and maybe wake them up. Thank you Kilean for being a rock star mom I recently found you when you were about 35 weeks pregnant and so happy I did because our babies are so close in age. Last thing is a question about Brest feeding, Has Rocky ever just not wanted to feed or not interested when feeding but it's been about 4 hours? That is one of my problems right now and I kinda get stressed because I don't know if she isn't hungry or what. Just want other mommas help because doctors scare the hell out of me when they say some things. XOXO

[@KileanRodriguez]

Hi!! So glad it helped you 💛 and yes he started doing that like right after I made this video 😭 it was 5 days of it taking him 30 min to feed because he got distracted + then frustrated! Hang in there and keep trying 💛

[@carsonwoolley7258]

i took takingcarababies course! my 6 week old is sleeping so well. When did you move him to an earlier bed time, or when did you move the last nap. She’s sleeping so good i’m afraid to mess up what we’ve got going on!!😫

[@KileanRodriguez]

I honestly never fed him later than 8pm because we’d always go to bed then too 😂

[@Ashleyohmy11]

Hey just wondering what you do if he will just not go down for a nap, like how do you adjust it? My baby usually shows sleepy cues at about an hour so if he skips a nap it could be hours before putting him down again. My baby mostly doesn't want to take a nap/ go to bed from 6-9.

[@farhanrazlan1428]

Now it made sense to me. I do realized that if he sleeps good during the day, he sleeps good during the day aswell

[@Aaasfcre]

Is he currently in his own room? If so when did you start for nights

[@alpinehost]

Hi! First really helpful video. I am a bit scared of using a pacifier. With my first we didn’t use it but putting her for a nap was nightmare. On the other hand she started her full night sleep at 4 months and these were solid long nights without any assistance from us. I love ur video cause it really seems to work well and i czn imaging following similar scheme. Could you just tell how the night with the pacifier looks like? How many times do u need to put it back? Would he wake because it fell out ? A video around pacifier use would be great! Also because u have a bigger perspective right now. How is it going at age 4 months?

Can you explain giving him vitamin D because he’s breast fed? Do breast fed babies need it more? And is it a liquid vitamin D? Thank you 🥰

[@smiller1263]

Hi!!! So if your baby is breastfed the vitamin they do not get from breast milk is vitamin D so you do have to supplement with liquid vitamin D drops. They sell them everywhere and they do have them specifically for babies.

We have a 5 week old that has been resisting sleep since coming home. We’ve tried everything (taking cara babies course as well. Pointless and just enraged our baby more). We bought the “Miracle Swaddle” on amazon two days ago. 👀🙀 Our baby for the first time in 5 weeks has allowed us to put her in her crib and bassinet to sleep, and instead of crying every 1-2 min SLEEPS for up to 4 hours. It’s $30 and returnable.

Love this! Pregnant with my first. My question: if they’re not doing well in the bassinet can they just sleep in their crib at night? I don’t understand the need for a bassinet if they sleep in the crib during the day. Thanks!

[@kelseycourtney4761]

Room sharing is recommended by the APA, for the first 6 months to a year I think. If you have a crib and bassinet in your room I don't think it matters which you use, but if your crib is in a different room that could be a reason why not too. But do what's best for you! I think the theory is the some babies will prefer the bassinet because it is smaller and more confined.

[@katelynn6300]

Sleeping in the same room as your baby the first six months dramatically reduces the risk of SIDs. Plus, infants tend to sleep better at that age when they can hear a parent nearby. Especially the first month you probably will get up so often it’s not worth it to go to another room. My son gets up at least 4 times a night at a month old, and that’s very common. Hope that’s helpful!

[@KileanRodriguez]

Love the responses to this!! Safety aside(since I think they covered that) I always say to each their own but I personally like having him close so I can hear him and respond quickly! I think it saves us from him fully waking up as well! Plus the amount of times I put his binky in his mouth sounds horrible running to his room 😂

Shouldn't your newborn be eating every 3 to 4 hrs? Newborns shouldn't be sleeping thought the night. 🤔

as long as they are not struggling gaining weight our pediatrician told us not to wake baby for feedings.

[@NicoleDayrit]

After they get back to birth weight and gain normally, they can sleep as long as they can

[@georgie.rebecca]

It really depends on the baby, but at two months he should be okay sleeping through the night. As long as his weight gain is where it needs to be that’s all that matters. ❤️

[@bethanythaha9037]

Perfectly fine for newborns to sleep through as long as they have a consistent healthy weight gain. My little girl is a little over 3 weeks old and has been sleeping from midnight to 6am since she was 1 week old! Our midwife gave us the go ahead because she didn't ever go under her birth weight, she just kept putting it on 😂 Went from 4.7kg to 5.3kg by her 1 week check up.
