The technique is targeted at infants as young as four months of age. A few babies are capable of sleeping through the night at three months, and some are capable of sleeping through the night at six months. Before six months of age, the baby may still need to feed during the night and all babies will require a night feeding before three months.
The sleep position is also important to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Their bedding should be firm and crib should be free from toys or blankets that could cause injury or suffocation to the child.
