Do you think sleep training is acceptable or unacceptable?

Question

Answer

There are many definitions of “sleep training.” If you’re talking “cry-it-out” then I think that’s totally inappropriate at any age. We need to respond to our children’s needs so they know we are here for them and can securely attach. But there are other, gentler methods to help build good sleep habits for our children that are great.

Answer

“Sleep training” encompasses a wide variety of tactics. I agree with and have used some forms of gentle sleep training and I condemn others like “cry it out.”

Answer

No one here should be making this “acceptable or unacceptable” judgement. 
Sleep training is a phrase used for a wide variety of methods. 
Whatever works for the baby and family is what works. It’s not the same for everyone. 
We didn’t sleep train because we didn’t need to. But I can put myself in other people’s shoes that I can imagine sleep training would be necessary. 
We don’t all agree on the methods but one thing is for sure that no one should be making a judgement whether it’s acceptable or not.
