[quote=Anonymous] I think important to the possibly terrified pregnant person who posted this: in general, if you are a person who NEEDS sleep or is starting to have (mental) health issues, you can sleep train at 3-4 months. I have found it’s mostly friends who are simultaneously able to survive on little sleep and philosophically unwilling to sleep train or put baby in their own room that don’t sleep after the first 5 months or so. Of course there are exceptions, particularly with kids with medical issues etc, but sleep training generally works and does not take especially long if you commit. My niece was crying until she threw up at age 1 and after 2 nights of going in, cleaning up, and putting her back to bed without also including a bunch of rocking and sleepig on the floor next to her, she was back to sleeping normally for 12 hour stretches, which seems like a healthier situation for both parents and child.
