Sleep training is a step-by-step process that helps your baby learn how to fall asleep without needing to be rocked, fed, or held each time.
Just like walking or talking, independent sleep is a skill — and with the right guidance, it can be taught.
Is sleep training safe?
Yes! When done in an age-appropriate way, sleep training is scientifically proven to be safe and healthy for your baby.
Before suggesting any method, the Smart Sleep Coach app helps ensure your baby’s:
Sleep timing is age-appropriate
Day/night balance is established
Environment and routine support better rest
Sometimes, just fixing the basics — like wake windows or room setup — is enough to improve sleep without a formal method.
When can I start sleep training?
You can start building healthy sleep habits from day one, by focusing on:
A consistent bedtime routine
An ideal sleep environment
Responsive, predictable patterns
By around 3-4 months old, babies are usually developmentally ready to begin learning independent sleep with the support of a method.
Note: Always check with your pediatrician before beginning formal sleep training.
Is it ever too late to start?
Not at all! It’s never too late to improve your baby’s sleep.
Smart Sleep Coach supports babies from 0–24 months, and even older babies can learn to sleep better with the right routine and guidance.
