What is Sleep Training?
“Everybody with a baby has been sleep training since the minute the baby arrived on the scene.
Learning to sleep is a skill that we teach with swaddles, pacifiers, swings, nursing, white noise, consistency, and bedtime routines. All of these, collectively, constitute sleep training.”
So before we go any further, let’s establish what sleep training is NOT:
Sleep training is NOT "Cry It Out" if you don't want it to be.
Sleep training is NOT neglecting your baby.
Sleep training is NOT denying your baby food when they are hungry at night.
Alternatively, look at the term sleep training like this:
Sleep Training is giving my baby the tools and skills they need to help them sleep better on their own in a way that me and my family are comfortable with.
