What is Sleep Training for children?
Getting your baby to sleep through the night is one of the biggest challenges a new parent will face. Sleep Training is teaching your baby to fall asleep on their own and stay sleeping through the night. This allows your child to learn many skills that promote healthy habits both during sleep as well as during basic activities of daily living. It is important to remember that sleep training is not for everyone, and is a highly personal choice that depends on every individual family's structure, needs, and preferences as it relates to child-rearing.
