"How Long Can We Go On Like This?"

You should be seeing meaningful progress within 7 days and well on your way by 10 days. 

Please note all babies, children and toddlers are individuals and no method or course can guarantee exact timelines or results. 

I feel “fixed schedules” where 9 am is always nap time can set a parent up to fail, because they are based on the idea that you can control how long a child naps for. You can’t always do that.  I teach a flexible schedule.  This will teach you parenting skills to handle any sleep situation.  My clients have said that it is not super strict, and surprisingly easy to implement. These parenting skills that I will teach you will enable you to handle any sleep blip down the road.

This is a completely natural feeling, no parent wants to hear their child cry.  I sure didn't.  While the drive to sleep is biological, the way we sleep is a learned habit.  Currently your baby has a set way of what sleep looks like.  Commonly this looks like falling asleep with help from being rocked, a pacifier or feeding.  Whenever you try and change that your baby will protest that they way she falls asleep is changing and doesn’t know what to do.  This will manifest with tears.  The amount of tears is related to your ability to be consistent in delivering the same message and your baby's temperament.  There are two methods in the class - one in the room and one outside of the room.  I'll walk you through the pros and cons to each. I have experience to know what is too much crying.  

A randomized controlled study by Gradisar et al, 2016, showed that short term sleep training including tears is safe and effective and had no long term affects on bond and attachment.
