The Cry It Out Approach

Those who advocate for these sleep training methods are of the view that it is okay for the baby to cry when you take them to bed, and then you get out of the room. But they do not propose that you let the baby cry indefinitely. Usually, the suggestion is that you put the baby to bed while they are still awake. You then allow short durations of crying interrupted by comforting the toddler. However, you should not pick the baby.
A leading proponent and developer of one of the Cry it out methods is pediatrician Richard Feber. He believes that for the baby to fall asleep on their own and remain asleep all night, they must learn soothing themselves. That may mean letting them cry for some specified duration.

The Fading approach

The parents slowly reduce their bedtime roles by sitting by the baby until they fall asleep. Each of the night, the parent or caretaker gradually shifts the chair farther away from the crib. The parent may also use another fading approach of checking on the baby after some duration, say five minutes, and reassuring the toddler without picking them. The reason for this is to give the baby time to learn how to soothe themselves.

The Hybrid Approaches

The methods are somewhere in between the ‘cry-it-out ‘methods and the ‘no-tears ‘or ‘fading’ methods. The parent uses the best plan that works for them and their infants.

Parents need to be prepared that one way of nighttime parenting will work in one phase of the toddler’s life, but there may be a need for change as the baby gets to another stage. As such, the parents must be flexible and not strictly follow some recommended approaches. With time, the parent and the baby come up with the right nighttime parenting approach that works perfectly for them.…
