3202 moms shared how they navigated this decisionRight on time for 👦 3-6-months

3 approaches by moms

Ferber method45% moms chose this path
Checking on your baby at gradually increasing intervals until they fall asleep.
Suits working parents who need a structured plan but cannot stomach leaving baby completely alone. Expect three to four nights of intense crying before seeing a drastic improvement.

Audrey T.. · Working mom · Baby at 5 months
We did Ferber at five months. The first night he cried for forty minutes, but by day four he slept through till 6am.
Gentle fading30% moms chose this path
Staying in the room and slowly reducing your physical presence over time.
Suits anxious moms or those living with extended family who intervene when baby cries. It takes much longer to see results but feels less emotionally draining for parents.

Lydia N.. · First-time mom · Baby at 6 months
My mother-in-law complained about the crying, so we did the chair method. Took three weeks of sitting there, but he finally self-settles now.
Full extinction15% moms chose this path
Putting baby down awake and not returning until the next scheduled feed.
Suits exhausted parents who have tried everything else and need a fast, definitive solution. The first two nights are brutal, but babies usually adapt by the third day.

With my second kid, I just did full CIO. Two nights of horrible screaming, but now she sleeps twelve hours straight without waking.

Expert guidance

Frequent night waking can strain parental functioning, but infant sleep often remains variable at 4 to 6 months. KKH and Thomson Medical emphasise safe sleep, consistent bedtime routines, and checking hunger, illness, or discomfort before using behavioural sleep strategies. What matters most is choosing a consistent approach while keeping to the ABCs of safe sleep.
