Does your baby need to be rocked to sleep or wake up in the middle of the night demanding a breast, bottle or cuddle before drifting back to sleep? If your little one is at least 4 months old, it may be time to start sleep training.
By that age, babies can - and should - be able to fall asleep or fall back to sleep on their own by self-soothing.
If you're dreading sleep training (also called sleep teaching), know that it's often accomplished faster than many parents imagine, and it doesn't necessarily even have to involve lots of tears.
Sleep training is teaching your baby to fall asleep without help from you. The baby is put down for bed fully awake, and he drifts off without being rocked, swayed, cuddled, nursed or shushed.
You'll be able to adjust the crying amount of your baby to your comfort level before you offer a soothing song or a comforting rub on the back.
