Sleep Coaching

Sleep coaching sets your baby up for positive sleep habits through adjustments to daily intake, sleep/wake routines, and the application of tools and methods that support your baby’s natural ability to fall back asleep independently.

No matter how old your baby is, there is always something we can help with. However, determining the right time to start sleep shaping not only depends on your baby’s age, but when you are ready. Sleep shaping oftentimes requires trial-and-error, change to your current routine, and patience. Not sure? Reach out to us!

For newborns under 10 weeks of age, we recommend continuing to follow your baby’s lead with sleep and feedings, and holding off on any “stricter” schedules and methods. We can help with setting up good sleep habits and constructing a flexible schedule following wake windows, naps, and intake.

For babies over 10 weeks, who fit weight and intake criteria, we can help create a custom sleep plan and provide all the tools to start achieving those longer stretches of sleep at night. For families who are seeking support with a modified Ferber method or limited crying method, we recommend waiting until your baby is over 15 weeks.

Over years of helping families achieve better sleep, we have learned that there are many paths to one destination (with that destination being your baby sleeping through the night). The path you choose to follow will depend on what feels right for you. For families who are unsure which approach is best for them, we always start with a very gentle approach that naturally follows your baby’s development. For families seeking support that involves a limited cry or modified extinction method, we recommend that your baby is over 15 weeks of age.

Yes, it actually works! After working with our sleep coaches, our clients report their babies sleeping longer, deeper stretches of sleep (up to 12 hours overnight!), achieving sounder naps during the day, and showing more predictability. Check out our Client Love to see for yourself! However, sleep shaping is still a commitment that involves dedication, patience, and trial-and-error. For this reason, it is important to start when you are ready.

Many families see results within the first three days! This will depend on your baby’s age, weight and intake, and the sleep shaping approach. And, we remind our clients to celebrate all the little victories!

ABSOLUTELY! It is a myth that sleep training is not achievable with multiples. In fact, sleep coaching can be life-changing for families with multiples.
