Why is sleep training important?

Sleep is necessary for growth and development. Just like your baby will learn to crawl, she also needs to learn healthy sleep habits. Sleep is an essential time for brain growth, brain development, and the retention of memories and learned skills. Research has shown that sleep plays a direct role in mood, attention, resiliency, memory, learning, executive functioning, and so much more.

How long is the sleep training process?

Like with any new skill being learned, sleep training takes time. I recommend at least two weeks of uninterrupted time to devote to sleep training. Uninterrupted meaning no overnight guests, no late night events, no travel, etc. Some babies and children may take longer than this, depending on the temperament of the baby and the sleep method.

I don’t want to let my child cry it out. Are there other methods?

Absolutely! Your child is unique and deserves a sleep plan tailored just for him, to meet him where he is. That being said, I cannot guarantee there won’t be any tears. This is likely to be a big transition for him and that can be scary, or he may simply not like the change in routine. This is totally normal! Even as adults, we don’t love change; the difference is we have the ability to vocalize our thoughts and feelings. Think of it this way: your toddler asks for cake for breakfast. You know that cake is not going to hold him over for all the fun things you have planned for the day. You know it’s not a healthy food for him to start off the day with. You show him the delicious, healthy meal you have prepared for him, but he drops to the floor and the tantrum begins. While we hate to see our children cry, we can’t always protect them from it. What I can assure you of though, is this too will pass. While he may fight the sleep plan initially, he will settle in and you will all begin sleeping again.

What if the plan doesn’t work?

Sleep training is not for every family, and that’s okay! Not only is it a big change for baby, it’s a big change for the caregivers. If you’re not sure, schedule a free “What is Sleep Training?” consultation and we can discuss!
For those who are ready, with consistency, love, and patience, it will work!

What if my baby gets sick during the process?

As a mom, I know sickness happens and it can disrupt sleep like nothing else! If this happens, we can review and pause if necessary.

How old does my child have to be?

While healthy sleep habits can begin right after birth, we should not expect a child to sleep through the night until around 6 months of age (adjusted). While it can happen for some babies, many babies are not ready to drop those midnight feedings until then. That being said, we can certainly get baby on a schedule with more consolidated sleep so she isn’t feeding all night long.
It’s also never too late to start sleep training!

I just started potty training my toddler. Can we start sleep training?

The simple answer, no. Potty training and sleep training are big transitions. You and your toddler will have much better results with both if you focus on one at a time, though order doesn’t matter!

My children share a room. Can we still sleep train?

Yes! While it may take a little longer, it can absolutely be done!

Should I sleep train my twins/multiples one at a time or at the same time?

At the same time! Getting twins on the same schedule can be a game changer for you as a caregiver!

Do you offer in person services?

At this time, all services are via phone and email. Video chat can be arranged if that is preferred. Through our time together, you will gain all the tools necessary to get baby sleep independently.
