I echo all of the sentiments from folks suggesting that you come at it from a place of offering support, rather than solutions. Some parents feel strongly about NOT sleep training their children. There is no right or wrong way, but if someone has done research and made their own decision, I think it’s best to respect that decision. It could be helpful for you to look into some information about why parents choose not to sleep train. @heysleepybaby is a good resource. It can be totally normal for some babies to need to be held to sleep. Instead of offering sleep training advice, you could ask them what would help them feel supported so they can get through this tough time. Perhaps a gift card for food delivery, or if you’re close by, an offer to hold the baby for a nap so they can get some rest too.
