Why teaching independent sleep matters for your baby's wellbeing
The Core Principle
There's no single right way to help a baby sleep. Some families explore more independent settling; others continue with feeding, cuddling or rocking. Both are valid — what matters is safe sleep, responding to your baby's needs, and an approach that works for your family.
The Gentle Rule
"Do what works for your family." Feeding, rocking and closeness are comforting, not bad habits. If you'd like to try something different, make one small, manageable change and keep responding to your baby's needs.
