There's never a perfect time to start sleep training. But if you're using the Sleep Lady Shuffle method, it's best to start when you know you'll have at least three weeks without any changes in time zone, cribs, or bedrooms—especially if your baby is alert and sensitive. The most popular night to begin is Friday because of the upcoming weekend. Some parents use vacation days so they won't have to worry about being at work in the morning. And remember that you'll always be more successful if your baby has been napping well.
• DIY methods work. Don't love the rigidity of a particular method? Modify it to suit your own family's circumstances. Sometimes, a sleep coach can be helpful to come up with modifications that won't affect the goal of getting baby to sleep through the night, but it's fine to mix and match until you find a strategy you're comfortable with. "I don't think I've ever loved and loathed anything as much as I do sleep training. We did it with my son because he was still waking up every three hours at 3.5 months old, and I felt it was more out of habit," says Margaret, a mom of one. "My husband and I decided that we valued teaching him self-soothing and that in the long run it was worth some short-term effort. I did a ton of research and came up with our own plan—similar to Ferber, but our time limits of letting him fuss weren't as rigid. It worked, and he's been a solid sleeper since."
• No tears method. Created by sleep expert Elizabeth Pantley, this technique, also known as the no-cry method, involves subtly shifting your child's sleep habits. For example, one trick, known as "fading," suggests gradually easing out of baby's go-to sleep strategy. For instance, if she always needs to be rocked, you would rock less and less until you can put her down to sleep without any rocking. Another technique, called substitution, switches out the routine—so if baby always nurses before bedtime, read a book instead.

Hi @Farzana – Thanks for writing, and I'm sorry to hear that getting your little one to fall asleep has been so tough! We definitely understand how tough this can be!

Since you've been doing your reading and research, and you're still struggling, I'd recommend one on one help from one of our consultants. This way, she can look at your daughter's full sleep history, and create a Plan with you to get her on a good schedule and falling asleep on her own again!
"My 3-month-old doesn't sleep through the night, and it's fine with me. I keep her in her crib or a bassinet until her 3 a.m. feeding, and then she joins my husband and me until we get up for work. She won't go in her crib unless she's already asleep, usually from nursing and rocking, but she'll fall asleep in her bassinet beside our bed. She's happy and we're happy, and even if it goes against the wisdom of the experts, it's working for us."
Some of these experts think cry it out methods are not good for babies. Pediatrician and "attachment parenting" advocate William Sears devotes an entire chapter of The Baby Sleep Book to a critique of cry it out approaches. Sears, along with no tears advocates such as Elizabeth Pantley (author of The No-Cry Sleep Solution), believes that cry it out techniques can give your child negative associations with bedtime and sleep that could last a lifetime.
It might be strange to think of sleeping as a skill that does not come naturally. As a new parent, you're probably so exhausted that you pass out as soon as your head hits the pillow. Your baby, however, doesn't have this same ability yet. Although they spend a lot of time sleeping, they need to learn when to sleep (day vs. night) and how to sleep. Until they do, they need your assistance, which is why you (as you should) help soothe them to sleep at bedtime and comfort them when they wake in the middle of the night. Sleep training is teaching your baby how to sleep without any help from you - just like you're able to fall asleep without anyone there to help you do it.
• Have a solid bedtime routine. Experts say that regardless of which sleep-training method you use, having a stable bedtime—between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. for infants, Vance suggests—and a steady routine are key. Whether it's bath, book, lullaby, bed or a different sequence, doing the same thing every evening is part of the bedrock of good sleep hygiene. Blackout curtains and a white noise app may also help.
"I have a 3-month-old who I rock at night. He falls asleep very quickly (much quicker than if I leave him in his crib). If he wakes in the middle of the night, we go to him and comfort him. We don't take him out – we just help soothe him. Why make him feel lonely and abandoned? I have no problem losing a little sleep if it means that he feels like we will be there for him."
The age of your baby might determine what kind of sleep-training method you choose, though. You could try a gentle shush-pat technique with a five-month-old, but you'll likely have to leave a one-year-old in the crib as they protest (cry or scream) about the new bedtime arrangement. Don't attempt a formal sleep-training method before four months, until your baby is able to go longer in between feeds and their circadian rhythm starts to develop. (Many babies this age still feed in the night—contrary to popular thinking, sleep training isn't synonymous with night weaning.) Dickinson says that many four-month-old babies are biologically able to go through the night without a feed, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't respond and feed them if other methods of calming them aren't working. Since every situation is different, we recommend checking with your doctor before withholding your baby's night-time feeds.

I was flipping through the pages of the newest issue of This Old House magazine last night, and I came across an article discussing the latest and greatest in green products. Listed here were three brands/types of wood, none of which I had ever heard of. They are Accoya, Kebony, and Lumboo. The first two are new versions of tropical hardwoods, and the last is bamboo that is formed into dimensional lumber (LUMber bamBOO....LUMBOO).
So, this morning I googled them, and while I'm not sure that they are going to revolutionize wooden boat building, I thought that I'd at least make a post about them in case any of you (like me) have never heard of them before.
Accoya....it looks to be fast growing, sustainable, and rot resistant. Very eco friendly. The FAQ section on the site says that it would be ideal for boat decks and trimmings. It then goes on to say that this wood would not be good for underwater use in a saltwater environment. For me at least, this is a show stopper.
Kebony...another tropical hardwood that is fast growing and sustainable. Rot resistance looks to be pretty good as well. Another eco friendly wood.
On the projects page, they show this wood being used as decking material on two motor boats, one a pretty massive center console yacht, and the other some kind of tub-like, odd-shaped, comfort cruiser (that oddly fascinates me). This wood would be a good replacement for teak, and is called Marine Planking. It says that it is more durable than teak, and up to 50% harder than the best teak available.
Lumboo is basically bamboo strips that are oriented to provide maximum strength, and come in uniform dimensional lumber sizes. They use a low VOC resin to adhere the strips together, and then tons of pressure to form the boards. Very fast growing, very sustainable.
This "wood" also appears to be very cheap. A 1"x4"x8' is $5.00, and a 2"x4"x8' is $8.00. This "wood" is very rot resistance. Their websites touts that it will last 50 years above ground, and 25 years in the ground. I'm not sure how they tested this, but that's what they claim.
I couldn't find any information (not that I looked very hard) about the workability of these woods. They may be easy to use, or they may be a bear on your tools. I'm not sure. However, I thought that I'd at least mention them on here, so that those that are much smarter than I in the ways of wooden boats (and that's pretty much all of you) can have a look for yourselves.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American brothers and sisters.

Ragnarok has become somewhat of a surprise hit on Netflix among English-speaking audiences, with the Norwegian-language drama from Borgen writer Adam Price at time of writing being the fifth most-watched show on Netflix U.K. and Ireland.

The first Skam alum on the show is its lead star David Stakston. He plays Magne, a teenager who discovers that he has Thor-like powers when he moves to the town of Edda, which is fighting the blights of climate change.
LauritsJonas Strand Gravli
Magne's younger brother is Laurits, who has been skipped ahead in school to his brother's grade and is intent on causing trouble for his brother…in fact, some would call him a God of Mischief…
Portraying the character in Ragnarok is Jonas Strand Gravli, who has some experience in Netflix's Norwegian content. In 2018, he appeared in 22 July, Bourne movie director Paul Greengrass's movie about the massacre committed by Anders Behring Breivik in Norway in 2011.
FjorHerman Tømmeraas
One of the school's most popular students is Fjor, who finds himself in a love triangle with Magne after they both develop feelings for the same girl. Herman Tømmeraas previously starred alongside Stakston in Skam and also starred in another Norwegian teen drama Semester.
SaxaTheresa Frostad Eggesbø
Also popular in the school is Saxa, the typical high school mean girl, brought to life by another Skam alum, Theresa Frostad Eggesbø.
GryEmma Bones
The woman Magne and Fjor find themselves fighting over is Gry, leading to the former developing a Peter Parker-and-Mary Jane-style flirtation with her as he comes to terms with his powers. Emma Bones plays Gry following a role in the sports drama Home Ground.
IsoldeYlva Bjørkaas Thedin
After he moves to Edda, Magne meets Isolde, a climate campaigner and YouTuber with a surprising infatuation with Saxa. Ylva Bjørkaas Thedin, who starred in HBO's first drama from Norway Beforeigners, stars as the character.
TuridHenriette Steenstrup
The mother of Magne and Laurits is Turid, played by Henriette Steenstrup of Netflix series Lilyhammer, who brings her kids to Edda after she gets a job at Jutul Industries, a shady power plant
Among the adult roles, Gísli Örn Garðarsson of Prince of Persia has been cast as the head of the Jutul plant Vidar, while Synnøve Macody Lund of The Girl in the Spider's Web plays high school principal Ran.
Ragnarok is streaming now on Netflix.
