New parents may be some of the most sleep deprived people on the planet. When your baby is around four to six months old, however, it’s time to start sleep training, so your child can learn how to fall asleep on their own – and you can finally get some rest too. In this video, board-certified pediatrician Dr. Arunima Agarwal breaks down the Ferber method for sleep training. This popular technique teaches babies to self-soothe over time by setting a schedule for how often parents should intervene if they cry while trying to fall asleep. Dr. Agarwal shares the suggested sleep schedule for the first three days as well as how to comfort your child at the recommended times, without picking them up.
