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?
From Sleepless Nights to Peaceful Rest
Sleepless nights, constant wake-ups, and the stress of managing it all—Sara and her 14-month-old daughter, Adele, were stuck in an exhausting cycle that felt impossible to break. Determined to find a gentle, no-tears solution, Sara turned to Dreamland Coaching. Through a personalised sleep plan designed to honor Adele’s emotional needs, their family experienced an incredible transformation. Adele now sleeps soundly, Sara and her husband share bedtime responsibilities, and their days are brighter and more balanced.
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.
Understanding Gradual Withdrawal
If you’re here, you’ve probably tried multiple approaches to bedtime already, but you’re looking for something that feels gentler and actually works. That’s where the Gradual Withdrawal method comes in—a way to support your child’s sleep while also supporting you.
When it comes to baby and toddler sleep, timing is everything. One of the most important — yet often misunderstood — factors that can make or break your little one’s sleep is their awake window.
