+ How much crying typically happens during sleep training?

Every child is different. Typically the first few nights are the most difficult and then we start to see rapid improvement, first with overnights and then with naps. However, the rate of progress is 100% dependent on the child’s temperament, the parent’s consistency in implementing the sleep plan, and the sleep training method chosen. During the consultation, we’ll talk at length about the various methods that are appropriate for your child so that you can choose one with which you feel comfortable and that suits your baby’s temperament. It’s not CIO or bust, but there will be some tears. Initially your child won’t like the changes and will protest–and usually babies protest change by crying.

+ My baby isn’t ready to drop all overnight feeds. Can we still sleep train?

We totally get that some babies, especially those who are 4-6 months, aren’t quite ready to drop all feeds. That’s okay! With your pediatrician’s input, we will determine how many overnight feeds are needed and how to customize your sleep training approach if you want to keep a feed or two. That being said, if your older baby is waking multiple times overnight to eat, we’ll likely need to eliminate some of those so they can get the consolidated nighttime sleep that she needs.

+ I don’t live in NYC, Denver, or DC. Can we still work together?

Absolutely! We work with clients throughout the US and around the world. We’re quite comfortable working virtually with families and juggling multiple time zones. We regularly work with clients in France, the UK, Switzerland Ireland, the UAE, and parts of Africa and Asia.

+ I’m a DIY parent and don’t need any follow-up support. Can we still work together?

Absolutely! We offer one-hour virtual consultations. Contact us to set one up.

+ Do you work with more than one child? What about twins?

Yes and yes! If you have multiple children who need some sleep TLC, we can do that! Some families prefer to work with one child at a time, while others prefer to work with both children at the same time. Email us for pricing for working with children of different ages at the same time. And we LOVE twins! In fact, we love them so much that there’s no additional charge for twins versus singletons.
