The baby sleep training process begins with setting a bedtime routine. You'll want to start by ensuring that your little one is getting enough sleep during the day. Then, you'll want to establish a regular bedtime. Once you have a bedtime routine in place, it's time to start sleep training.


There are several different ways to sleep train your child. The most popular methods are letting your child cry it out, gradual extinction, and the Ferber method. Letting your child cry it out is the most common method of sleep training.


With this method, you'll put your baby to bed awake and let them fall asleep on their own. If they wake up in the middle of the night, you'll ignore their cries. They may cry for several nights before they finally fall asleep on their own.


The gradual extinction method is similar to the cry it out method, but you'll respond to your child's cries initially. You'll soothe them back to sleep and then leave the room. Each night, you'll wait a little longer before responding to their cries. Eventually, they'll learn to fall back asleep on their own.


The Ferber method is a form of graduated extinction. With this method, you'll allow your child to cry for a set period of time beforeresponding. The length of time will gradually increase each night. This method can be difficult for parents because it requires letting your child cry for prolonged periods of time.


Once you've decided on a sleep training method, stick with it for at least a week or two. It can take up to four weeks for some babies to learn to sleep through the night.
