I completely understand your nervousness about your child crying. Honestly (now and always!), I can relate to how hard it is to hear your child cry. I've been in that situation myself! But to be truthful, there is no way to change sleep habits without tears. Anyone who says otherwise is not being sincere. Babies cry for many reasons. It's their only way of communicating and their only way to protest changes. Some tears are inevitable, but they are also manageable, as you will be able to contain your baby in other ways! Part of what makes the individual support I offer so valuable for parents, especially for those who are nervous, is that I am always here for you to answer questions and provide the advice and encouragement you need when you are in doubt!

Yes, exactly! Sleep works symbiotically, and what happens during the day can affect nighttime sleep (and vice versa). I look at the overall picture when creating a sleep plan, and you can expect improvements in all sleep situations.

No, you definitely don't have to stop breastfeeding (if you don't want to) and healthy sleep can definitely coexist harmoniously with breastfeeding! In fact, good sleep promotes the breastfeeding relationship when both mother and baby are well-rested. But no matter how you choose to feed your baby, I am here to support you.

Your baby does not need to have their own room. You can continue to share a room with your baby. However, for safety reasons, we recommend that your baby has their own crib (if they are younger than 3 years) or bed (if they are older than 3 years).

Feeding issues generally do not prevent babies from becoming great sleepers, and a large percentage of babies experience a feeding issue or another gastrointestinal issue, whether it's reflux, feeding, or bottle aversion. Usually, feeding improves as sleep improves. If you have concerns about your child's medical conditions, please be sure to speak with your pediatrician before beginning this process.

Yes, absolutely! Even with strong-willed children, there are many ways to support them in their sleep. The methods may need to be tailored slightly to their personality and needs, but with patience, consistency, and an individualized approach, we can definitely make progress. Strong-willed children often benefit from clear structures and loving yet firm guidance.

Imagine I'm like your personal nutrition coach. If your coach gives you the perfect training and nutrition plan, but you go home every evening and eat a bunch of donuts... the scale won't budge, right? The same goes for sleep. I invest a lot of time getting to know each child and family and creating a plan that I know will work for them. However, ultimately, it's up to you to put in the hard work (with me as your support!).
