The article discusses the challenges of sleep for new parents and introduces the concept of teaching babies to self-settle. Initially skeptical, the author recounts their own journey discovering self-settling is achievable with patience and consistency. They argue that self-settling not only benefits parents by reducing sleep deprivation, but also promotes healthy sleep habits in children, fostering their independence and emotional resilience. This process requires dedication, but it ultimately leads to a well-rounded, confident child.
