Frequent Asked Questions

At Nurtured Rest, we use a strategy called "Association Fading." This is a much gentler, more supportive and responsive method to sleep training than Ferber or Cry-It-Out. You will be responding to your child and giving them the comfort and support they need while learning this new skill of independent sleeping! With new skills comes frustration and protesting. Babies only know how to communicate this by crying. So you likely will see tears through this process, but rest assured knowing that your baby is simply learning a new skill and routine - and you will be there to help them!
