Sleep Baby Consulting FAQs

  • Teaching your baby to sleep well (or baby sleep training as you’ve probably heard it called) is like a puzzle; there is a particular key that will make all the pieces fall into place, but it can be hard to figure out just what the key is. Books and articles can be very helpful sleep tools, but having an professional baby sleep consultant to talk with about your child who will help you make a custom plan that works for your family can be the difference between getting better sleep after a few nights and it taking months to see any changes. Our baby sleep coaches have worked with 1000s of babies and toddlers and are excited to help!

  • Babies cry when they aren’t happy about something, and that often includes changes to their routines! Crying is how babies communicate and isn’t always a signal that you’re doing something wrong. However, there is no evidence that the Extinction Method (leaving your child alone and letting them cry for hours on end) is more effective or necessary. We can’t tell parents that teaching your child to self soothe won’t include any crying, but we will never tell you to ignore your babies cries and are not a proponent of the Extinction Method.

  • Yes! Our infant sleep consultants love to talk with parents about these things and how to manage them while developing strong, positive sleep habits. Short naps and the 4 month sleep regression are both very common in infants and we can work through sleep problems in a way that feels comfortable to your family and gets you and your baby sleeping better.

  • We love working with newborn sleep! If you are looking for a true no-cry approach to sleep training, starting at the beginning is the way to go! For newborns, we don't focus on traditional infant sleep training, instead we use sleep shaping strategies to help your baby build good habits around sleep, even in those first few weeks, and help parents grow in confidence and skill. Our Virtual New Baby Bootcamp is a complete newborn sleep school where you will learn everything you need to know about setting up good sleep habits with your newborn at your own pace. If you're looking for more, upgrade and add on a call with one of our incredible infant sleep consultants!

  • Like with everything else, every baby is a little different in how they respond to sleep training. Our sleep consultations typically last for 2 weeks while you get support from your baby sleep coach. During those two weeks, we will troubleshoot what's happening, encourage you, and make changes to your baby sleep plan as needed. We provide baby sleep help PLUS an expert baby or toddler sleep coach in your corner who has worked with many babies to teach them how to become amazing sleepers!

  • Our team is made up of the BEST baby and toddler sleep consultants out there. We're passionate about parents and helping them enjoy their babies! Getting good rest goes a long way to accomplishing that. Our goal isn’t to give you a a few sleep training tips and send you on your way, we want to be a friend who comes along side you with helpful advice and encouragement as you and your little one learn just what they need to sleep better! That’s why many of our baby and toddler sleep consulting packages come with unlimited texting and email after the initial consult. Your baby sleep coach is available to answer questions as they arise, encourage you, and to celebrate with you when you succeed!

  • Not at all! We have consultants based in Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA; Loveland, CO; and Jacksonville, FL so this is where we offer in home consultations. However, we have worked with clients all over the US and world including places like New York City, San Francisco, Dallas, Nashville, London, and more! Most of our baby sleep consults are completely virtually via phone or FaceTime.

  • When you decide to work with a baby sleep consultant or baby sleep coach, you are bringing an expert into your village. Adding a new person to your family is a huge change and you shouldn't expect yourself to know how to handle everything new that is coming your way! If your baby needed help with feeding you'd go to feeding specialist and sleep is the same way! Whether you're looking for a baby sleep consultant or toddler sleep consultant, our team is ready to support you through your baby sleep training journey as you help your child establish independent sleep habits that will allow them to sleep through the night (in their own bed!) and take beautiful long naps. Whether you're starting from the beginning or have been struggling with sleep for several months, our experienced sleep consultants are here for you!

  • Yes! The toddler years are a really special time and their sleep needs are beginning to look very different than they did as a newborn. Toddler sleep consulting looks different too! We focus on the whole child and their needs around healthy sleep schedules and boundaries for their age. Toddler sleep coaching means we will be in your corner with tools, toddler sleep tips, and cheering you on as your toddler or preschooler gets the rest their body needs for development and growth.

  • So many babies have a hard time settling into the sleep that their body desperately needs! This is very common and our team of baby sleep consultants have worked with thousands of families coaching them through this exact issue. Every baby is a little bit different and we will work with you to determine the root cause of your baby's sleep struggles and create a plan that will get them on the path to great sleep!
