If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperately searching for answers about baby sleep, you’re in the right place!
In this episode of Get Your Baby Sleeping with Restful Rhythms, I’m answering the question I get asked every single day as a certified pediatric sleep consultant:
“What age can I start sleep training my baby?”
You’ve probably been told to wait until 4 months… 5 months… or even 6 months, as if sleep magically improves once your baby hits a certain age or starts solids.
But today, I’m breaking down the real truth behind when sleep training actually works best, and why waiting too long can sometimes make baby sleep harder, not easier.
We’re diving deep into:
- When babies are developmentally ready to start building independent sleep skills
- Why sleep doesn’t improve just because time passes
- The biggest myths around infant sleep training
- How sleep is a learned skill, just like rolling, crawling, or walking
- Why the 12–16 week window is what I call the golden window for sleep skill building
- How to support your baby’s sleep without leaving them to cry endlessly or ignoring any their needs
This episode is for the mama who wants:
- Peaceful, predictable bedtimes
- Longer naps in the crib
- 11–12 hour nights
- A baby who can fall asleep independently
- And to finally feel like herself again, rested, calm, patient, and present♥
If you’re stuck pacing the hallway at 3am, bouncing, rocking, feeding, and wondering why sleep feels so hard, I want you to know there is another way.
I’ve been exactly where you are, and I’m sharing what actually works.
