Nights Guide: 4–6 Months – Get Night Sleep On Track

I was so afraid of sleep training. Everything I’d heard made it sound harsh—like I had to choose between letting my baby cry alone or never sleeping again. As a sensitive parent, I couldn’t bear the thought of causing distress just to get more rest. But I was exhausted. My baby was waking every 90 minutes at night, and I was running on fumes.

This guide was a revelation.

What I found wasn’t a “one-size-fits-all” method, but a compassionate, evidence-based approach that respected both my baby’s needs and my own. The emphasis on timing, environment, and bedtime routines gave us the foundation we were missing. And when it came to sleep training, I was relieved—there were gentle options, including one where I could comfort my baby as much as needed.

We started with the bedtime-only method, and within a few nights, my baby was falling asleep peacefully—without tears, without fear, and without needing me every time they stirred. I never thought it could be this smooth or this kind.

This guide showed me that sleep training doesn’t have to be traumatic. It can be nurturing, responsive, and deeply bonding. I only wish I’d found it sooner.

There were nights I cried right alongside my baby. I felt like I was failing, and I was just so tired. This guide didn’t just give us tips—it gave us reassurance and a way forward. We followed the gradual approach and stuck to it. It wasn’t always easy, but it worked. Our baby now falls asleep independently and only wakes once to feed. It’s changed everything. We’re sleeping, we’re functioning, and we even have time to relax together in the evenings. I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I had it. If you’re exhausted and unsure, please read this guide—you deserve rest too.

Before discovering the Primrose Sleep guide, I was at a breaking point. My baby was waking up nearly every hour, and I hadn’t slept more than two hours at a stretch in weeks. I felt like I was failing as a mom, constantly overwhelmed and barely holding it together. This guide didn’t just help my baby sleep—it gave me back my sanity.

What stood out was how gentle and respectful the approach was. I didn’t feel like I had to choose between comforting my baby and helping them learn to sleep. The step-by-step guidance, especially the sleep training options and emphasis on routine and environment, helped us feel empowered rather than pressured. Within a week, our nights went from chaos to calm. I cried tears of relief the first time my baby slept a solid stretch.

If you're desperate, exhausted, and unsure where to turn—this guide will change your life. It did for me.

Before finding this guide, we were at our breaking point. Our baby was waking 6–8 times a night, and my partner and I were completely drained—physically and emotionally. I was anxious all day just thinking about bedtime. This guide gave us a plan we could actually follow, and more importantly, it gave us hope. We started with the bedtime routine and sleep environment changes, and within days, things began to shift. Now, our baby sleeps in longer stretches, and we’ve even had full nights. I can’t express how much this has helped my mental health and brought peace back into our home. I finally feel like myself again.

This guide gave me something I desperately needed: clarity. I was overwhelmed with advice from everywhere, but this broke it down into simple, flexible steps. Even just understanding wake windows and when to cap naps helped us avoid overtired meltdowns.
