Baby Then What

5.8: Sleep Training Methods — Cry It Out vs Gentle Sleep (and Why You’re Not Failing)


Listen Later

We get asked about sleep training methods constantly—what worked, what didn’t, and whether we still believe in any of it. So here we go: a full episode dedicated to the most controversial nap of all time.

From cry-it-out sleep training to contact naps, gentle sleep training to white noise machines duct-taped to the crib (yep, we’ve been there), we’re breaking down what sleep training actually is, the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, and why the pressure to “get it right” can feel so intense.

Whether you’re team “schedule everything” or just trying to survive, this is for every mom who’s ever googled “is my baby broken at 2am?” You’re not alone. And yes—you will sleep again.

🎧 Listen for:

  • What sleep training methods worked (and totally flopped) for us

  • The biggest sleep training myths we believed

  • The guilt, the judgment, the desperation, and mom guilt sleep training brings

  • Real talk on pressure, comparison, and learning to evolve with your baby

If you’re rocking a baby in the dark wondering if you’re doing it all wrong—this one’s for you. You’re not failing. You’re just f*cking exhausted.
