Gentle Sleep Training is a method designed to help infants and young children learn to fall asleep independently without distress. This approach often involves creating a consistent bedtime routine, ensuring a comfortable sleep environment, and gradually reducing parental involvement in the child's sleep process. Techniques may include soothing methods like patting, shushing, or rocking to help the child relax before sleep. Unlike more traditional sleep training methods, Gentle Sleep Training emphasizes a compassionate and responsive approach. Parents are encouraged to respond to their child's needs while gradually encouraging self-soothing skills. This method aims to foster a positive sleep experience for both the child and the parents.
