Regularity: Common…very common…PAINFULLY common.
Our advice:
- Stick to the schedule, whatever method you choose.
- Crying is involved in sleep training (for both you and your baby) but the Ferber method is a fave amongst parents.
- When training, try not to pick them up– it’s part of the method.
- Sleep schedules and early bedtime are your friends.
- Create a routine—everyone loves a little self-care time.
