Train your baby to sleep the night so you can get some well needed rest. Uses a proven sleep training method which teaches your baby to self-soothe and go back to sleep. Going to sleep independently is a learned behavior, and everyone needs a good night's sleep - Mom, Dad, siblings, and your infant. Once your infant's doctor tells you they no longer need to eat in the middle of the night (usually around 4-5 months old), they can learn how to put themselves to sleep and to sleep through the night. Unfortunately, while babies obviously know how to sleep, they don't necessarily know how to soothe themselves to sleep at bedtime, and back to sleep when they naturally wake up during the night. A typical sleep cycle is 90 minutes, after which our bodies naturally wake up a bit, and then can either stay awake, or go back to sleep. The goal of sleep training is to help children to develop good sleep associations, strategies, and behaviors that help them to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Testimonial from a Beta Tester: "The first night my daughter cried for 45 minutes, with me checking on her 6 times and also cried several minutes twice in the middle of the night, the second night 20 minutes and twice in the middle of the night, the third night 5 minutes and once during the night, and the fourth night she didn't cry at all, and then slept 7 hours straight!" App Features: * Full documentation explaining the training method and how to use the app. * Easy to use trainer which even runs in the background when your device is in sleep mode. * Training log which you can share and print, and even add your own notes to. * Advanced sleep wait time editor so you can customize the app to your baby's needs. * Optional social sharing which lets you tell your friends of your baby's sleep success. * Apple Watch App letting you control the Sleep Training process from your wrist. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tweet Us: http://twitter.com/PepperDogSoft =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- If you are experiencing problems, please use the Support forum on our website (www.pepperdogsoft.com) as we can better help you there. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Best $1 I’ve ever spent!
We are on our fourth night using the app. The first night it took two hours and 8 checks. Tonight it took us 45 minutes and three checks. Everyone has more energy because baby is finally able to get a full nights rest.
Works!
Day 5 and our 9 month old slept 12 hours straight. He used to be a good sleeper, but totally regressed when he started teething and never went back. In 5 days of using this app he slept through the night. What I love most about this app is the simplicity and accountability. I tap when he goes to sleep, and tap when he cries. Then, the app notifies me when it’s time to check on him. I used to say “ok, I’ll check him in 5 minutes” but only wait for two minutes because it’s so hard to hear baby cry. Now, I have a concrete timer that lets me know when it’s time. I also love that it progresses through the days on its own, so the wait windows on day 2 is longer than the wait windows on day 1. Like the Ferber method. I downloaded a different app that had better graphics but I liked this one way better.
Only thing that worked for us
This app was amazing and the only thing that worked for my family in sleep training. I would definitely recommend it to any parents out there dreaming of sleep.
Working wonders on our 5 month old
This app is awesome and started working for us ON NIGHT 1! And she keeps sleeping longer and crying less every night since then (now on day 5). Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the log layout is a bit overwhelming to look at and could use some design work. It would also be awesome for cloud sync where my wife and I could use the app simultaneously
Nice timer, could be improved
I'm currently sleep training my 6-month-old son and this is a nice timer app. The log is confusing and could benefit from some simplification (way too many numbers). Also would be nice if the app credited Dr. Ferber for his "progressive waiting" method of sleep training. Would be nice if you could insert a photo of your own child into the app (crying face or sleeping face maybe?).
Good but needs improvement
It's pretty good. The timer is really helpful. My main complaint is that if you're following the official Ferber Method and the baby wakes up after having been asleep you're supposed to re-start your check in schedule/timing from the beginning. This app doesn't re-start the timing schedule if she wakes up in the night. So I have to click "unsuccessful" each time in order to re-start which is kind of disheartening when you're in the trenches of sleep training. More positive feedback after each check in would be useful too since leaving your baby crying in her crib is so difficult.
Worked like a charm
I know it will not work for everyone but had our little guy set after about 4 nights. The app walks through the method and makes it easy to track the time before check ins.
