Few parenting questions stir up as much debate as whether it is okay to let your baby cry it out. 😴 The honest answer is that there is no single "right" approach. What matters most is consistency and a method that feels sustainable and right for your family (not a specific technique).

Some families do best with a gradual approach, checking in on the baby at intervals. Others prefer to respond right away every time the baby fusses. Both can work. What tends to matter most for a baby's sense of security is that your responses are predictable over time and that your responses align with your beliefs.
