Ferber: Baby Sleep Training

Bedtime shouldn't mean watching the clock through tears. Ferber gives you a clear 7-night plan and does the timing, so you can focus on your baby.

Inspired by the Ferber method (also called check and console or graduated extinction), Ferber tells you how long to wait before each check-in, alerts you when it's time to go in, and keeps the waits growing a little each night.

HOW IT WORKS • Answer a few questions about your child's age and what's hardest right now. • Get a 7-night plan. Night 1 starts with short waits of 3, 5, then 10 minutes. • Tap when your baby is down, crying, or asleep. Ferber runs the countdown and alerts you at each check-in. • Night wakings restart at that night's first interval, so you never have to work it out at 2 am. • See each night in your sleep history: time to settle, check-ins, and time asleep.

BUILT FOR TIRED PARENTS • Calm, dark screens made for a dim nursery. • Check-in alerts with sound, even when your phone is locked. • Short guide chapters: what to expect each night, common mistakes, getting your partner on board, and when to pause. • Your child's name never appears on your lock screen. • No account needed.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS A five-year study found children's emotional health and their bond with parents were no different whether or not families sleep trained (Price et al., Pediatrics, 2012).

PRICING Night 1 is free. One purchase unlocks all 7 nights and is yours to keep. No subscription. Family Sharing is supported.

GOOD TO KNOW Ferber works best from around six months. It isn't meant for babies under four months. Talk to your pediatrician if your child is unwell or you have concerns about their sleep. Ferber is a guide, not medical advice, and is not affiliated with Dr. Richard Ferber.
