Why Sleep Training Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

When it comes to sleep training, one of the most common misconceptions is that there’s a universal approach that works for every baby. If that were true, we’d have one sleep book or one sleep plan and all kids would be amazing sleepers. But if you’ve searched “baby sleep books” on Amazon lately you’ll see that there are more than 20 different books on the first page of results alone.

What works for one baby might not work for another, which is why it’s essential to find a sleep training solution that is personalized, flexible, and tailored to your specific situation.
