Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching provides tired parents with gentle sleep solutions and individualized guidance on sleep coaching for children nearing 6 months to 5 years. Peaceful nights are possible!
~ As a certified Gentle Sleep Coach, we partner with you to transform your sleepless nights into a household with healthy sleep habits.~
One out of every four families have babies or young children that struggle with a variety of sleep issues and disruptions. It is a known fact that babies and children need the proper quality and quantity of sleep to pursue their full cognitive, emotional and physical development. Parents assume sleeping is a developmental milestone that comes naturally, just like walking, but, in reality, healthy sleep habits are actually a learned skill. In parenthood, we coach our children in many ways throughout their lives. So, just like reading and riding a bike, it is important for a parent to acknowledge and feel empowered to coach their children on how to independently and peacefully go to sleep and stay asleep. Seeking the assistance of a professional sleep coach may be the right solution if you are experiencing any of the following sleep scenarios and you desire a change.
- Your child needs lots of “assistance” in order to fall asleep. You are rocking, swinging, or nursing/bottle-feeding your child to sleep;
- Your child has trouble going to sleep and staying asleep and wakes several times throughout the night;
- Your child ends up in your bed at some point during the night, and yet nobody is sleeping well in this arrangement;
- Your child wakes up before 6 a.m. but is still exhausted and irritable;
- Your child takes short naps or no naps, but clearly needs more daytime sleep;
- Your child’s sleep habits are changing and what used to work, no longer works at bedtime or naptime;
- Your child’s bedtime routine seems unusually long and arduous and requires too many “special requests”;
- You and your spouse are having disagreements on how to handle your child’s demanding sleep routine;
- You are simply exhausted from your child’s inconsistent sleep patterns, and thus, you are feeling overwhelmed and no longer know what to do.
