It works! It works even better with the free White Noise Baby ap
Even though I truly believe that the Sleepeasy Solution is the best thing for my baby, hearing him cry breaks my heart. The free White Noise Baby ap has really helped. When my baby is fussing/crying, I turn the White Noise Baby ap on and put 5, 10, or 15 minutes on the ap’s timer. The white noise drowns out the crying so I don’t melt into a crying mess and rush in to hold him. I can even go back to sleep sometimes. When the timer is up, the white noise sound goes off and I wake up if my baby is still crying. If he’s asleep, I don’t wake up.I got the Sleepeasy Solution DVD when my baby was 4 months old. I was hoping for a way to get him to sleep through the night – he was getting up 4 times a night to eat and my husband and I were tired and desperate. The author recommends waiting until a baby is 5 months old to start working on sleeping through the night because at that age their stomachs are larger. I was really bummed, but decided to follow their advice. I was still able to implement several of their techniques right away to help with putting him down for bedtime because we had trouble with that, too. According to the DVD, he cried when I put him down to sleep because he was too tired due to lack of naps during the day and too late of a bedtime. So I asked the babysitter to make sure he got 3 hours of sleep during the day (2-3 naps) and his bedtime was moved up to 8:00 pm since we want him to get up at 7:00 a.m. He cried for 52 minutes the first night when I put him to bed, it broke my heart, but I stayed strong. Every night after that, all I had to do was lay him down and walk away and he goes to sleep. He was instantly a happier baby and I was a less frazzled mommy, so that alone made the DVD worth it. It also laid the groundwork for the sleeping through the night techniques.I then began counting down the days until he was finally 5 months old. I’m glad I waited until he was 5 months because the week before he turned 5 months old he began drinking a lot more milk at each feeding during the day, although he was still waking up 4 times a night to eat. So I guess his stomach did get a lot bigger at that age. At night, he would eat 1-2 oz at 12:00, 6 oz at 1:30, then 1-2 oz around 3 and 4:30. I am currently four days into the plan to get him to sleep through the night and its working even better than I thought it would. Not only am I functioning a lot better during the day, he’s an even happier baby, I think it’s due to him sleeping for longer stretches of time.There are several minor finesse type steps that are important that the DVD goes into, so don’t please don’t try to follow what I describe without watching the DVD! Basically, once he was 5 months old, I ignored all feedings that were 2 oz or less. I wake him up and feed him 30 minutes before any feeding that was greater than 2 oz (I wake him up at 1:00) so that he no longer associates crying in the middle of the night with getting fed. I also reduce the feeding by 1 oz per day until he is down to less than 2 oz, at which point I won’t wake him up at all and I do a happy dance. Except I won’t really do a happy dance because I will be sleeping! Whoohoo!1st night – he cried once for around 40 minutes, I checked on him at the 5 min, 15 min, and 30 min mark like the DVD says to do and he drank 6 oz at 1:00.2nd night – He didn’t cry at all and got 5 oz at 1:00.3rd night – He cried twice for about 20 minutes each time, I checked on him at the 5 min and 15 min mark each time, he drank 4 oz at 1:00, he was awake but not crying when I went to feed him (I think the crying was because he didn’t get his naps that day and got to bed late so he was over tired).4th night – no fussing/crying and he drank 3 oz when I woke him up at 1:00.5th night – I woke him up and fed him 2 oz at 1:00. He woke up fussing at 4:30, I was worried he hadn’t eaten much that evening before bed and was still hungry so I breast fed him, he nursed quite a while so I think that was the right thing to do.6th night – He woke up fussing at 4:30, I was again worried he didn’t eat much during the day so I fed him, but he only ate 1 oz, and wanted to play! Guess I should have ignored that one.7th night – He work up 3 times between 3 and 5 a.m., fussed/cried for less than 5 minutes each time and went back to sleep. Ate his customary 1-2 oz for breakfast, so I don’t think he woke up from hunger, I think I made the right call by not getting up when he fussed/cried.Update – My son is now 9 months old. He is easy to put down to bed (I lay him down, he goes to sleep, no cry, no fuss, easy as that). It is rare that he gets up in the middle of the night, when he does wake up it is because he’s not feeling well etc. I recommend the Sleep Easy Solution to all the moms I know, along with Freemie Cups, and the Fischer Price Rock n’ Play Sleeper.

It works
If you want to sleep train your baby, no method avoids crying all together. So us parents have to face reality and just grit an bear it. Even the most humane method results in some crying from the baby. Unless you want to co-sleep and rock until the baby is ready to move on (which can be years) then sleep training is a must and some crying is unavoidable.I like the step by step instructions given in the DVD. It’s easy to watch and saves time (over reading tons of books). I did read one other one. The no cry sleep solution…. which teaches you to tailor your sleep training methods to your own style. This is great also, but can take longer to work. For us, I was seriously hitting a wall and I wanted results fast with minimal crying…. Sleep easy worked for us.It was a process though depending on how old your child is when you start. Mine was 4 months old so we just worked on the part about getting him sleep. It only took 4 days for him learn to put himself to sleep. Granted the first day was excruciating but we didn’t have a choice. We had rocked him to sleep 4 times in a row that night and he just wouldn’t allow us to put him down, screaming every time. We tried 3 hours and were besides ourselves. Good thing I had already watched the DVD and we started sleep training that same night.I had my doubts at first because my son had very serious eczema, scratches his face at night, was used to being rocked to sleep and then being placed in a swing to sleep in…..and he was still being swaddled. We cut it all out at once. I figure if it’s going to be work for him it’s only fair to work on it all at once instead of one at a time which would be unfair to him by making him adjust to new things again and again and again. The first night was excrutiating. He cried for 45 min (I almost clawed my eyes out, thank goodness for my husband) He woke 2 times during the night to feed (as we weren’t night weaning yet). The next night was 20 min. The third night was 10 min to put himself to sleep. The 4th night also took 10 min but without the crying! It was great. In the end he didn’t end up scratching himself bloody because we were able to get the eczema under control at about the same time. You must get the eczema under control or the babies will scratch, bleed and get infected. Cut the nails extremely short and blunted, put a layer of vaseline everywhere and never let them be without a layer of grease, hydrocrotisone is also a must.Anyway, back to sleep training, I still had to get up at least 2x/night to nurse because he wasn’t old enough or heavy enough to night wean yet. We didn’t night wean until he was well over the limit because I still didn’t want to give up those sweet moments. Anyway, in the end Night-Weaning took another week. He is now 6 1/2 months old and doesn’t fuss at bedtime. Our routine is so ingrained in him that no matter where we are at 6:30pm he gets fussy and wants his bath. At 7-7:30pm he’s tired and wants to sleep. He wakes up at night but puts himself back to sleep within 15 min.Nap time took longer to figure out, I’d say 1 month to get it all ironed out, but it’s pretty good now.My advice: This is a very effective method but only if you’re ready for it. You have to want it bad enough to sit through the crying (and there will be crying) You have to be tough enough on yourself not to deviate from the advice given in this DVD. Otherwise you may not be ready for sleep training at all (no matter what method you choose)

This IS a Cry It Out Method! Be aware!
I bought this DVD for my one year old son after I read somewhere that it was an “in between” method, meaning it wasn’t 100% CIO (Cry It Out). I am not sure what they meant by “in between” because this basically tells you to let your child cry for however long it takes. I tried this one night and it was TERRIBLE. They tell you not to touch the child as it will basically tease them, making them think you are going to pick them up and then you don’t….My question is, if you don’t touch your baby, how do you know if they aren’t burning from a fever? Freezing cold? What if they spit up/threw up in their crib? Have a dirty diaper? Are you just supposed to rely on the smell of feces or vomit to tell you???I’m sorry, but I will just stick to getting my child sleepy and laying him down in his crib, and sitting beside it, still letting him learn how to go to sleep on his own. But when he has a nightmare or is sick and needs his Mommy, I’m going to choose to be there for him. I can sleep when he goes to college, but for now, I’m 100% Mom.

I have battled with my 16 month old to sleep. i spent hours looking at books and websites all offering the solution but didnt really agree with their approach. Im not against crying it out but found many of them too rigid. finally after 16 months of waking every 2-4 hours i was near breaking point and a friend in new zealand recommended this dvd. I spent a considerable amount of time reading reviews and finally decided to go for it.We didnt follow it to the T initially however as things didnt progress we decided to give it a proper go. It was traumatic (my toddler certainly has both lungs and grim determination) however after 3 nights she slept through the night. That was 3 weeks ago and we havent looked back.What i liked about this was it was practical, thorough but also allowed for you to deviate if your little one was unwell or teething. By having it on dvd it meant it was easier than having to read a book and it came with a guidebook with key actions that were easy to follow.I tried so many sleep methods and for my little one this is the only one that works. It does use controlled crying which can be tough but as it says in the dvd ;what you have been doing so far hasnt worked so its time to try something new,Give it a week and follow it to the t including the feeding/weaning and hopefully it will work as well for you as it did for us
