YOUR sleep QUESTIONS, answered
What is sleep training and do I need to do it?
Sleep training is the process in which we support our little ones to fall asleep and stay asleep with increasing independence (not perfection and certainly with appropriate expectations for the age and stage – we aren’t raising robots).
This is not about self-soothing (we cover this in our guides!)
These guides don’t just cover sleep training strategies, you get in-depth holistic knowledge which means you can improve sleep even without “sleep training”.
Always do what feels most aligned for your family, remember, if it’s not a problem for you, it’s not a problem!
What improvements can I expect to see?
The majority of our customers will see amazing progress within 1 week. Some see results within days and some may take a little longer depending on the approach taken and where you are starting from.
You can expect positive changes to:
- Overall mood, as well as increased curiosity, exploration and energy. A happier, more contented little one
- Better appetites, feeding and eating with far less fussing
- Predictability to the day, knowing when sleep is needed so far easier to organise life
- Happy and easier settles to sleep
- Longer lengths of sleep, both day and night sleep
- Less sleep disruptions due to teething, sickness, growth spurts and developmental leaps
Happy sleeping babes = happy sleeping parents which means parenting can actually be a good time because everything is much easier with sleep behind you!
Do I have to leave my baby to cry-it-out?
Absolutely not, none of our strategies encourage the use of leaving your baby to cry themselves to sleep. You can tweak any strategy to suit your baby and your parenting intuition. Always do what feels-good while creating change.
What if your sleep guides don't work for us?
As a Certified Sleep Consultant I’ve worked with hundreds of families. I know there is no one-size-fits-all-approach or a magic wand to fix sleep issues, some families need a truly personalised approach to change and some support through this.
So, if these guides don’t get your the outcomes you need, please get in touch! It’s likely you will need more pieces to your puzzle and we are more than happy to provide guidance, referrals or 1:1 consultations to make that happen!
Don’t stay stuck, there are always answers!
Do I need stop life entirely to make this work?
Short answer, no! Of course, keeping things slower and more low key while creating these positive changes is going to lead to faster outcomes, flexibility is mad skill to have as a parent (and child).
You can alter routines around your commitments, just remember to keep your expectations realistic as your babe practices these new skills!
