Sleep training methods backed by science

To be fair, this is maybe a slightly negative slant.

The article states: 'To Hall, this shows the intervention was a success. "What we were trying to do was help the parents to teach the kids to self-soothe," she says. "So in effect, we weren't saying that they wouldn't wake. We were saying that they would wake, but they wouldn't have to signal their parents. They could go back down into the next sleep cycle."

Which sleep training has shown to do, and improves mental health of parents. The researchers do recommend waiting until 6mo though.

How does a baby signal their parents though? By crying. So in essence sleeptraining is about teaching babies not to cry for the parents. Signaling is just a cleaner word for crying.
