Ever found yourself trapped in the relentless cycle of your toddler’s nightly awakenings, feeling bombarded by advice pushing you towards sleep training methods? You know the ones—where you’re encouraged to let your little one ‘cry it out’ or adhere to strict timed intervals before you can comfort them (controlled crying)?
It seems like everywhere you turn, this approach is touted as the only way to achieve that elusive full night’s sleep.
I totally understand the appeal. When you’re worn out and craving just a few hours of uninterrupted rest, sleep training can seem like the ultimate solution. It promises quick fixes, with some claiming that in just 3-4 days, your child will magically sleep through the night—sounds like a dream, right?
But here’s the kicker:
So, let’s shift our perspective. What if instead of viewing sleep as a behaviour to be trained, we approached it as a skill to be nurtured at your child’s pace?
What if we prioritised understanding how sleep functions, allowing us to pinpoint the root causes of those night wakings—whether it’s teething, growth spurts, or simply a need for comfort?
Maybe by embracing our child’s unique temperament, we could tailor our approach to support them in resting for longer stretches and drifting off more easily.
If you’re fed up with the endless “cry it out” advice, leaving you bewildered and your family still exhausted, remember this: Sleep doesn’t have to be a battleground!
