16: Why do infants cry during sleep training?


Listen Later

It's the big question: Is sleep training bad for my baby? And if it's not, then why are they crying?

I get down into the WHY behind the tears. In no way am I saying sleep training is the only way. But if it is for your family, it's not bad. Or wrong. I mention two studies in this episode, and you can find those here:
