Sleep Training Science

When people ask me what I do, I tell them I am a sleep consultant (among other things), I help parents with their baby’s sleep. I sometimes get the response, “Oh so you use Cry It Out?”. And it really surprises them when I respond, “Not often!”

There is so much more to “sleep training”, (and I don’t even like that terminology) than just letting your baby cry in order to sleep. I educate my clients on the science of sleep; when babies get tired, how they get tired, how that changes as they age, and any other curveballs that we may encounter along the way.

So this article really spoke to me. Sleep training does not have to be all or nothing. It doesn’t have to be Cry it out or Co-sleeping Til They Are 20. Every family is different, every baby is different and so parents need help that is tailored to their experience and comfort level. Take a read through it!

And reach out if you need help! Each of my packages are specific to your child and your family.
