Baby sleep earplugs?

Baby sleep earplugs? Everyone around me says something different.

Night waking and sleep duration are really confusing—when everyone has different advice, people get worried. Here's a short, clear answer: For healthy babies, night waking is normal and expected. Most babies under six months wake at night for feeding; this is a physiological need. Even for older babies, uninterrupted sleep is rare. Some methods promoted as "sleep training" (cry-it-out, not intervening) can conflict with your baby's safety and attachment needs. Responding to your baby's crying, comforting them, and meeting their needs supports secure attachment and emotional health long-term. Depending on age, night feeding needs gradually decrease, but this happens at different rates for each baby. If your baby's sleep routine really exhausts you, I'd recommend being kind to yourself—this phase is temporary.
