Crib training is a method used to help infants learn to sleep independently in their crib. This process often involves placing the baby in the crib while they are drowsy but still awake, allowing them to fall asleep on their own. Parents may establish a consistent bedtime routine to signal that it is time for sleep. The goal of crib training is to encourage self-soothing, which can lead to longer sleep periods for both the baby and the parents. Various techniques, such as the Ferber method or no tears method, can be employed to support this training, depending on the family's preferences.
