@gebphoenix Yup, sleep training is distinct from night weaning. If 4 month old baby can fall asleep independently and is waking crying, got to figure out if baby is hungry first. Offer food, establish pattern of feeding at night time then when baby's sleep and baby is old enough, plan for night...

@galatians220lyric Read Precious Little Sleep. So many tools for helping baby sleep.
