I used the 5s with my son. He is now 6 months old and I need help teaching him to sleep unswaddled.
You can help the weaning go faster if you are using the right kind of white noise throughout the night. Dr. Karp recommends our ‘Super-Soothing’ Sleep Sounds CD of white noise which has 5 tracks of specially engineered white noise. He suggest playing Tracks 4 or 5 (Hair Dryer or Rain on the Roof) softly for about an hour before having your son swaddled and put down for sleep. Continue to play the CD of white noise at the sound intensity of a shower for a few days & see if that helps.
It will be quite easy to wean your son from using white noise after his 1st birthday, but many parents find it useful for years to come. To wean from the white noise, just gradually reduce the volume over 1-2 weeks.
