FAQ

Does sleep training mean ‘Cry it out’?

I’m not going to sugar coat this: babies and toddlers cry to protest change. While there will likely be some crying, sleep training does not have to mean crying it out. Together we find a method that feels right for you and your child.

Will sleep training hurt my child or ruin the child-parent attachment?

There have been no scientific studies to prove that sleep training will hurt your child or ruin the child-parent attachment. Actually, some studies show an improvement in the security between child and parent following sleep training.

What age can I start sleep training?

For babies younger than 4 months, the focus is on a solid foundation of healthy sleep habits. Setting the stage, so to speak. For children 4 months to 4 years, we focus on implementing sleep training methods to achieve your family’s sleep goals.

What does your process look like?

1. Complimentary fifteen-minute phone consultation where we discuss your needs, the process, and what package is best for you.
2. You snag your preferred package option - YAY!
3. You complete a detailed questionnaire and sleep log, which gives me greater insight into the sleep habits of your child, your child’s temperament, and your family’s lifestyle.
4. I find a solution and come up with a personalized plan.
5. One-hour phone consultation so you have all the resources and confidence to implement the plan.
6. We schedule a start date and we put the plan into action. But don't worry! I'll be there every step of the way to ensure success.

When will I begin to see improvement?

I get it. Frustration, doubt, and exhaustion have set in and you want results immediately. The reality is, each child is unique and results will vary, but with consistency you should begin to see great improvement within a week or two.
