As a Child Sleep Consultant and a mum of three, I understand the challenges of sleepless nights. The idea of putting your baby in their crib and leaving the room might seem unimaginable. Up until now, your baby only knows to cry for attention. When they cry, you feed them or help them sleep. They don't yet know that they can soothe themselves, or that they don't need you to fall asleep. This is a skill we need to teach them, much like we teach other skills as they grow.
Teaching your baby to self-soothe is an important step, and with patience and practice, your baby will learn to settle themselves to sleep.
As a Child Sleep Consultant, I want to remind you that teaching your baby to self-soothe involves setting a consistent sleep routine, creating a conducive sleep environment, and using methods like gradual extinction. The goal is for your baby to fall asleep independently and develop healthy sleep habits, leading to better rest for everyone. With patience and practice, your baby will learn to settle themselves to sleep.
Remember, self-soothing is a valuable skill that benefits your baby as they grow. It’s okay to give them the space to learn this skill, just like other milestones. With your guidance and consistency, your baby will learn to sleep independently, helping everyone get the rest they need.
