I would certainly not suggest sleep training unsolicited, as that can be in direct opposition with many people’s parenting values.

An open-ended approach would be best. You can mention that you see them struggling with sleep and ask if it’s anything they would like help with. Many of us struggle with challenging sleepers but are perfectly content with our decision to respond to our children overnight.

When I was in the trenches with multiple overnight wakes and my son would only nurse back to sleep so it was all on me, my in laws drove 8 hours at the request of my husband, to play with my son and make dinner and take care of whatever they could while I was at work all week, so I could take some naps. Think about how YOU can help them rather than telling them something they should be doing.
