Baby Sleep Training: A Step-by-Step Guide for Babies 4–24 Months


Listen Later

Sleep training can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to start. In this episode of Well Rested Mama Unswaddled, I’m walking you through baby sleep training step by step for babies 4–24 months, so you know exactly what to do before night one, how to handle bedtime, and how to stay consistent through night wakings and early mornings.

This episode is for parents who are ready to start sleep training and want clear, practical guidance without confusing advice or unrealistic expectations. As a baby sleep coach, this is the exact approach I use most often with families.

In this episode, I cover:
- What to do before you start baby sleep training
- How to identify & remove sleep crutches
- Why daytime sleep & bedtime timing matter
- The sleep training method I use most often & why it works
- Exactly how to implement the method at bedtime
- What to do during middle-of-the-night & early morning wakings
- What progress usually looks like in the first few nights
- Common bumps during baby sleep training & how to handle them

If you haven’t listened to my How to Prepare for Sleep Training episode yet, I recommend starting there first for the best results.

Every baby is different, and sleep training is not one-size-fits-all. Some babies make progress quickly, while others need more time. My goal with this episode is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported as you get started.
