Is your baby showing at least four of these signs? If so, they may be ready to sleep train.

  1. Putting their fingers and hands to their mouth

  2. Bringing hands to their midline like they were inside the womb

  3. Rubbing their face into you; your stomach, the crook of your armpit, your shoulder, trying to “get to” a dark place

  4. Rolling to their side or tummy

  5. Grunting and fussing

  6. Rubbing a lovey around their face or head or pulling on their hair or ears

  7. Yawning, eyes and the area around the eyes turning red.
