Take 5 Minutes to learn about the chair method

Dear ,

Yep, there really is a sleep training method that involves a chair. It’s a simple strategy where you gradually move the chair farther away from your baby’s crib each night. Eventually, they’ll be snoozing without your presence 😴

Here are the key takeaways:
1. It works well for babies who need to be held or rocked to sleep
2. It usually requires about 2-3 weeks to take effect
3. Your baby will align with their own biological sleep rhythm, which is good for emotional balance
