Ferber Friend vs Tiny Footprints

The simplest way to follow the Ferber Method for sleep training. Use the mode that works best for your family: Standard, Mild, or Custom. Ferber Friend is a dedicated sleep training timer built for the Ferber Method, also known as progressive waiting, graduated extinction, or check-and-console. Instead of guessing intervals at 2am, follow a structured plan with built-in timers, automatic check-ins, and progress tracking. Choose the pace that fits your family and sleep train your baby with clarity and confidence. CHOOSE YOUR SLEEP TRAINING PACE Every family is different. Pick the mode that fits yours: - Standard: the classic Ferber intervals (3 → 5 → 10 → repeat 10) - Mild: shorter, more gradual check-in intervals for a gentler start - Custom: set your own check-in intervals, saved for each night you configure DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FERBER METHOD Unlike generic baby sleep apps, Ferber Friend is built entirely around the progressive waiting approach: - Structured night-by-night sessions - Automatic interval progression in every mode - Clear guidance on what to do at each check-in - Educational support for when and how to start If you're committed to the Ferber Method, in any form, this gives you everything in one place. GUIDED NIGHT MODE Start a Night session and follow the plan step by step: - Dynamic interval timer with real-time countdown - Automatic progression between intervals - Background notifications when it's time to check in - "Baby Fell Asleep" quick end button - Session summary with total time No math.
