FAQs
What type of sleep training do you offer?
I am certified as a Gentle Sleep Coach, which specializes in The Sleep Lady Shuffle, but sleep coaching is not “one size fits all.” I believe in tailoring a sleep plan to the child’s specific needs and sometimes that means blending various methods together. If you have a specific sleep training approach in mind, I am all ears and would love to help you find success!
Does “Gentle Sleep Coaching” mean no tears?
Unfortunately tear-free sleep training does not exist. We are doing something different than what the child is used to, which will naturally bring out tearful emotions, but just because it’s not tear-free, doesn’t mean you have to leave your child in their crib or bed to cry it out. We can help the child navigate through their frustrations with love and consistency.
Do I have to stop breastfeeding?
Absolutely not! Just because you breastfeed doesn’t mean you cannot successfully sleep train. We will work as a team to make sure your sleep goals are met without affecting your breastfeeding journey, and we will always refer out to a medical professional or a certified lactation consultant should any breastfeeding concerns arise.
Is my child’s sibling included in the package?
Packages are designed for one child, but can be expanded for siblings for an additional fee.
What is expected out of me?
Consistency, consistency, consistency. The biggest struggles in sleep training arise when children receive mixed messages. Inconsistent actions by the parents only brings out frustration and confusion within the child. It is incredibly important to commit to the sleep plan, which is also why we make sure you feel 100% comfortable with the sleep plan before you begin.
