In addition, young parents who are interested in how to teach their child to sleep through the night can benefit from the method of Esteville, which is as follows:
First, the baby is shaken and put in bed at a time when he begins to dive into sleep, but still does not sleep soundly. If a baby crieps, Mom or Dad takes it in their arms and again repeats this action. This continues until the baby himself falls asleep in the crib. After it was possible to achieve the desired one time, go to the second stage - when the baby begins to cry, it is not taken in their hands, but simply stroking the head and the calf.
In case of failure, they return to the first stage. So, gradually, the little one must learn to fall asleep in his crib alone. After this, they refuse stroking and achieve what they want only by persuasion and affectionate words. The last stage is to become independent falling asleep if the mother is at a distance from the child.
