This is such a natural question with your first baby, don't worry at all. What we call sleep training is really about supporting your baby's ability to fall asleep on their own. General pediatric guidance says the earliest time for this is around 4-6 months. Before these months, babies need night feeding physiologically and their sleep patterns haven't matured yet.
Starting around 4-6 months, you can try:
- Creating a consistent sleep routine (bath, book, dim light in a calm sequence)
- Putting your baby down drowsy but awake
- Observing for a short time before intervening when they wake
The important thing is that no method works miracles overnight. Progressing at your baby's pace and your own comfort level is healthiest. How old is your baby right now?
