When can I start sleep training?

When considering if a baby is ready to sleep longer than 3 hours at night, several factors come into play:

  1. Clearance from the Pediatrician: It's essential that the pediatrician has given approval for the baby to sleep longer stretches, ensuring there are no underlying medical conditions that could be impacted by longer periods without feeding.
  2. Absence of Serious Medical Conditions: The baby should be free from serious medical conditions that could affect their ability to sleep longer stretches.
  3. Sufficient Caloric Intake During the Day: Ensuring the baby consumes enough calories during the day is crucial for their growth and development, which can support longer stretches of sleep at night.
  4. Signs of Readiness for Longer Sleep: Observing signs that the baby is naturally starting to sleep longer at night, such as longer periods of uninterrupted sleep or reduced nighttime feeding frequency, can indicate readiness for longer stretches of sleep.


It's important to note that a baby's nighttime sleep will not mirror that of an adult, and their sleep patterns will vary. For example, a sample night sleep schedule may include periods like 9pm-2am or 8pm-2am. While newborns typically can start sleep training as early as 4 months, with our trained professionals at Ask A Doula Newborn Services, we start as early as 6 weeks. We do not advise starting this young unless you are working with our trained nurses, who can provide expert guidance and support tailored to your baby's needs.
