Sleep training? Ha! I swear my 6-month-old is sleep training ME. Just when I think I've got it, boom, new regression. Honestly, try what works for your baby, but don't beat yourself up if it's not a perfect routine. Survival mode for parents is real!
My sister used the 'Ferber method' for her baby, jo rona thoda allowed hota hai. It was tough for a few nights, but then the baby actually started sleeping through. Might be worth checking out if you're desperate, but every kid is different.
Yaar, sleep training is such a headache, na? Actually, my friend just did this for her baby and she said a consistent bedtime routine is key. Like, bath, massage, story, then bed. Even if they cry, stick to the routine. Takes time but works.
Oh, I totally understand the struggle! We tried everything with our little one. What helped us was a dark room, white noise, and making sure they were well-fed before bedtime. And sometimes, you just have to ride it out, they eventually get there.
A gentle routine helps settle the baby's energy. Maybe a warm oil massage before bath time, with soft music. For you, pranayama can help manage the stress that comes with sleep deprivation. A calm parent often means a calmer baby, even if it's for a little while.

When my grandkids were small, my daughter used to make sure they had a light but filling dinner well before bed, like a little dal khichdi. Nothing too heavy or sugary. A comfortable tummy helps a lot with good sleep. But always check with your pediatrician for specific diet advice for babies.
Sleep training a 6-month-old? Good luck, my friend, you're embarking on a noble quest! My only advice is patience, earplugs for yourself, and remember that someday they will sleep through the night. Probably when they're 18. Kidding! Mostly. You'll get there!
