You can start laying healthy sleep foundations for your baby from day 1! I have a newborn recorded call which is a 45 minute call with me, you can watch or listen (since most newborn parents don’t have time to watch something for 45 minutes straight!) The call goes over how to get better sleep from the moment your baby is born, it also includes my newborn sleep guide and 2 complimentary calls with me!

I recommend sleep training to families once your baby is 16 weeks and 12 pounds. This is a great age to work on independent sleep as your baby’s sleep cycles are changing and a more predictable schedule is emerging. Throughout the process of sleep training, we work together to achieve consolidated, consistent sleep and more restful nights.

There are a variety of sleep training methods and approaches to help achieve independent sleep. Some methods that are more gradual, where the parent is more involved can help to minimize crying but sometimes, having more parental presence increases your baby’s crying.There are various methods of sleep training and the methods I recommend that are based on the child’s sleep history and your preference as their parents!

Crying is your baby’s natural form of communication. Your baby will be learning a new skill during this process and with any new skill, there will be a learning curve during the process. Crying is your baby’s way of saying “this is new, I don’t know what to do, help me learn!” Some degree of crying is expected.

Listening to your child cry is SO hard, trust me I have been there. To be fully transparent with you, there will likely be some crying during the learning process. There is no way to work on sleep without crying, if you’ve heard that somewhere it’s not true! Crying is a way that babies protest any change to their routine. They are a completely normal part of infant development and they can be a byproduct of habit change.

Many families tell me that the amount of tears they experience on a daily basis after sleep training is far fewer than what they were experiencing before when sleep was a struggle.

YES! Breastfeeding and sleep can absolutely co-exist. Sleep training can actually improve the breastfeeding relationship when both mom and baby are well rested. Better sleep leads to better feeds!

There is a lot of information and misinformation out there! There are multiple studies that have shown that sleep training has positive effects on both the baby and the family. There is no evidence or qualified study to support that sleep training is harmful or affects parental attachment. Sleep training is a short-term process that has multiple long-term benefits.

Unfortunately I can not bill insurance directly. You should be able to use your HSA or FSA funds for my sleep support services. I can provide you with a detailed invoice and instructions to submit to your insurance company and/or FSA/HSA administrator if needed. I cannot guarantee that they will be eligible for reimbursement since every insurance plan is different.

Yes! If that’s something you would be interested in, please reach out to me to discuss!
