Why the stigma?

Many people shudder at the thought of having to implement sleep training. Why?

Does the thought of their baby crying make them feel like bad parents?
Do they already feel like bad parents because their baby isn't sleeping?
Would their family/friends criticize them if they knew they were considering it?

There are various sleep training methods available to parents, but what you need to know is that they all involve some degree of crying. Why? Because your baby will object to the new routine you are implementing and the only way he'll be able to communicate his objection is through crying.

Baby Love takes a holistic approach towards parenting. We need to assess every piece of the puzzle and rectify where necessary, before sleep training can be implemented. Remember, sleep training is just one piece of the puzzle.


If sleep training is implemented on a healthy baby, in a loving, caring environment, overseen by the parents who are following a structured program where they have cross referenced the crying check list, they will not harm their baby. It is better to have your baby cry on a program in a loving environment, than to not address the sleepless nights which could eventually result in baby bashing and/or divorce!
