New Post: Camping Out Sleep Training
Camping out sleep training (also known as the Chair Method or the Sleep Lady Shuffle) is a gentler method of sleep training than cry it out (or CIO).
I like this method a LOT for
- Parents who want to minimize crying
- Toddlers and preschoolers
I just updated my article on how to perform this technique with A LOT of details. If you have any questions let me know.
If you find this useful, please share it with your friends!
