The Truth About Cry It Out 😬
As a baby sleep coach, my goal is to support YOU through your parenting journey without judgement—whether you’re exploring gentle sleep methods or more traditional approaches like Cry It Out. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to sleep, and it’s important to consider what feels right for your family. I’m here to support and guide you through whatever decision that is.
Cry It Out (CIO) is a common sleep training method where babies are given the chance to self-soothe through crying, with the idea that they will eventually learn to fall asleep independently. While some parents find success with CIO, others may feel uneasy about it and prefer more gradual, gentle approaches. Both options have their pros and cons, and what matters most is finding a strategy that aligns with your values and your baby’s temperament. CIO does tend to be the quickest method to sleep train, while also being the most emotionally challenging for everyone involved. A lot of people have super strong opinions about using CIO and there’s a lot of shaming of those who opt for this method, which will never be me BTW. Everyone has their reasons for their parenting choices and I’m here to support those choices.
Remember, you are not alone in this journey! 🌙
Whether you need help with sleep schedules, or strategies to help your little one sleep soundly, I’m here to help guide you every step of the way. You deserve sleep, and your baby deserves a calm, nurturing environment to rest in. Let’s find what works best for you. 🤍
