The Ferber method is a sleep training technique that involves:
- Gradual Sleep Training: It teaches babies to self-soothe and fall asleep independently by allowing them to cry for predetermined intervals before comforting them.
- Increasing Time Intervals: Each night, you gradually increase the time you wait before going in to check on your baby, encouraging them to learn to fall asleep on their own.
- Focus on Consistency: It requires consistency and patience from parents while helping the child learn self-soothing techniques.
