4moms Goodnight Sleep TrainerOne of the biggest challenges you have to face as a new parent is getting your baby to sleep through the night. The process of sleep training involves maintaining a balance between letting the child cry - so they learn how to soothe themselves to sleep, and providing comfort so the child gets parental support.Train your four-month old to sleep through the night. Sleep experts have written dozens of books that detail proven methods to help your child sleep through theBaby Products Reviews of 4moms Goodnight Sleep Trainer - Gray
Customer Review: Has parenting come to this?
Summary: 1 Stars
Somebody gave this to my daughter after the birth of her son. Fortunately her Dad is a pediatrician and her mom teaches parenting classes so she grew up knowing better. First off you should never try to get a 4 month old to sleep through the night. Even Dr. Richard Ferber, the most well know advocate of sleep training doesn't recommend starting it till the child is at least six months old. If it comes naturally to them, fine, but at that point in their development most children need to wake and nurse both for physiological and emotional reasons. If you really want to know more about this I suggest reading What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life. But as my husband tells his new patients and I tell my classes: worry less about reading books than about reading babies.
Secondly while the "progressive waiting" method is one of the accepted methods for sleep training, you should not just automatically increase the spacings. To quote the person most incorrectly associated with blindly advocating this method (Dr Ferber again): "Simply leaving a child in a crib to cry for long periods alone until he falls sleep, no matter how long it takes, is not an approach I approve of. On the contrary, many of the approaches I recommend are designed specifically to avoid unnecessary crying." If you read Ferber's book it is far more about setting up a routine (during the day and night) than the dreaded, leave-the-baby-in-the-crib-crying step. Ferber doesn't recommend "cry it out" because it's not healthy. To over simplify: a frightened, crying baby produces excess cortisol. Too much of this impacts neurological development. A four month old isn't crying to tick you off. They're crying because they need you. If they're hungry, feed them. If they're lonely, nurture them. You can't spoil them, the circuitry isn't even there for that. It's not called spoiling, it's called parenting.
We've become a people addicted to connivence, but raising happy healthy babies will never be convenient. No $20 device is going to help you be a better parent. Trust your instinct, trust your baby, and use the brain God gave you to find the balance between healthy amount of sleep for parents and baby, and a healthy amount of nurturing too. I've had six kids. One slept through the night after three months. One after 18 months (he woke up to nurse constantly - now he's 6' 4" and still snacks late at night!). Most of the rest fell somewhere in-between. In the end I managed to pack them all off to college. Relax, trust yourself, and you and the baby will figure out this sleep thing eventually.
