With data everywhere to seemingly support both sides of the “sleep training” dilemma but no real gold-standard research to transition opinion into fact, the real question is not whether a cry-it-out philosophy is empirically right or wrong but rather whether it is right or wrong for your family.  In this episode, Ashley and Mark unpack this and discuss the origins of sleep training (hint: it had nothing to do with science) as well share their personal perspective on what has worked for them.
