When to start training baby to sleep
When can I start sleep training my baby?
hey there in this episode I am answering
the question from what age can I sleep
train my baby well the simple answer to
that is sleep training is most effective
when babies are receptive to it from
approximately 18 weeks which is about
four and a half months so I would say
that usually from about 18 weeks to six
months so four and a half to six months
it's gonna be roughly when your baby is
ready I'm going to be receptive to sleep
training strategies and approaches now
if you're not at that stage yet and
you're thinking oh I want to do
something now in my baby was only three
months or two months or five weeks then
don't worry you can still do what I call
sleep prep sleep prayer is all about
practice
it's just practicing little things
setting up cues and rhythms to help your
baby recognize when it's sleep time and
help your baby adjust to sleep
environments and it's all about as I say
practice we're not expecting them to
perfect anything just yet so that's when
you do forceps the sleep prep window of
time once you're ready and your baby is
ready for sleep training the thing to do
is to work out what's going to be the
most suitable sleep training approach
for your child because they're all
different circumstances are different
and actually what would work best for
them now may not be the same as what
would work best for them in another 3 6
12 months times say they change their
loads of factors and when we help
families we assess this very thoroughly
with a full history assessment form plus
a consultation and it takes lots and
lots of time in delving too
really fine-tune and bespoke the perfect
approach for each tiles it's an
individual thing well there are things
you can do to try to work out the best
way and one of the key things is the
temperament how alert is your child what
stimulates them how acceptive are they
how accepting are they of certain
routines and changes are they okay with
change do they resist change how much do
they need from you there's so many
different things to factor in but
finding the right approach is key and
then forming an ideal plan the plan that
you can then stick to so you're not left
you know day by day evening by evening
night by night going what would I do oh
I'm not sure what to do or maybe I'll do
this or maybe I'll try that and then
you're an inconsistent mess giving your
child a bunch of mixed messages but if
you have a plan it takes away all that
second-guessing and thinking and you
just get an ID and this is what I'm
doing this is just what we're gonna do
and a good plan will give you if this
happens then do this so if they do that
then do this and so you will always know
you are equipped and ready to respond in
the right way every single time so if
