How to Create a Custom Baby Sleep Training Program in 5 Easy Steps

Is Your Baby’s Sleep Disrupting Your Life?

Night after night of interrupted sleep can leave parents exhausted and overwhelmed. The solution isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about creating a custom baby sleep training program that aligns with your baby’s needs and your family’s rhythm. With Slenov, personalization is at the core of our approach. Here’s how you can build a tailored sleep plan in just five steps.

Step 1: Assess Your Baby’s Current Sleep Patterns

Start by tracking your baby’s sleep for three days. Note nap times, bedtime, night wakings, and total sleep duration. Are naps too long or too short? Is bedtime too late? This data helps identify patterns and problem areas. Slenov’s app includes an easy-to-use sleep diary that automatically generates insights.

Step 2: Define Your Sleep Goals

What does success look like? Maybe it’s your baby sleeping 8 hours straight or taking two consistent naps a day. Be specific and realistic. For example: 'I want my 6-month-old to fall asleep independently by 7:30 PM and wake no more than once at night.'

Step 3: Choose the Right Sleep Training Method

There are several approaches—gentle fading, chair method, or pick-up/put-down. Slenov helps you select the best fit based on your parenting style and baby’s temperament. For sensitive babies, we recommend a gradual method. For more resilient infants, a structured approach may work faster.

Step 4: Design a Personalized Routine

Build a daily schedule that includes wake times, feeding windows, naps, and bedtime. Slenov’s algorithm creates a custom timetable based on your baby’s age and sleep needs. For instance, a 4-month-old typically needs 14–15 hours of sleep with 3–4 naps during the day.

Step 5: Implement and Adjust with Support

Begin the program and monitor progress. Use Slenov’s 24/7 parent coaching to troubleshoot issues like early morning wakings or nap resistance. Our system adapts as your baby grows, ensuring long-term success. Most parents see improvements within the first week.

  • Custom programs account for time zones and family schedules
  • Slenov integrates feeding and diaper changes into the sleep plan
  • Parents receive weekly progress reports and tips
  • Adjustments made for developmental leaps and teething
