Why Do Babies Cry in Their Sleep?
If you’re a parent of a newborn, chances are you’ve experienced the heart-stopping moment when your baby cries out in their sleep. Your first instinct is likely to rush to their side, wondering what’s wrong or how you can help. But what if that cry isn’t a call for assistance but just a normal part of your baby’s sleep cycle?
A Look into Controlled Crying (Spaced Soothing)
Controlled Crying, also called Spaced Soothing, is a gentle, structured approach that helps babies learn to settle themselves. Unlike harsher methods such as Cry It Out, Controlled Crying doesn’t involve leaving your baby alone to cry for long periods. Instead, it combines brief moments of soothing with opportunities for your baby to develop their ability to self-settle.
