How do I decide whether I should hire a sleep coach or sleep train my baby myself? [+]

Many parents contact me when the approach they’ve been taking towards their child’s sleep no longer works. Everyone in the household is tired & confused and no one is happy.

You would benefit from expert guidance from a tenured Sleep Consultant if you are experiencing any of the following:

• Anxiety and distress over “cry-it-out”—and desire for an alternate method

• Difficult and long bedtime routine that leaves everybody drained

• Broken, non-restorative sleep from multiple night wakings

• Disagreement between parents in managing child’s sleep challenges

• Desire to eliminate night feeding—needing guidance to do it gently and compassionately

• Exhausted from waking too early in the morning

• Fear over transition from co-sleeping to a crib, or from a crib to a toddler bed

• Short or non-existent naps or nap transitions—resulting in crabby, overtired child

• Difficulty in re-establishing healthy sleep habits after new sibling, travel, holidays, or lifestyle changes

• Relentless self-doubt and guilt about current sleep routines

It’s important that you choose the right methodology & the right sleep coach based on family values, logistics and how much support you will need to reach goals.

We have tried everything with no success, how is your process any different? Will Sleep Coaching work for me? [+]

Yes, many families have tried and failed on their own or with other coaches and they come to me for help. I’ve personally worked with over 1,000 families, just like yours, to help everyone get a great night’s sleep. I’m one of the top 200 Sleep Consultants in the USA and #1 international bestselling author of 3 books. As your personal sleep coaching expert, I provide my tenured, industry-leading insight using the science-based, Guilt-free, Gentle Sleep Coaching® method.

Additionally, I have a 100% Sleep Success Guarantee!

What is your Sleep Success Guarantee? [+]

The Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching Sleep Success Guarantee exclusively applies to participants of our Sleep Coaching Packages. I am so confident in my expertise and the gentle sleep coaching process that I offer an amazing guarantee. If within the first 5 days of beginning your sleep plan and you’re actively participating in our daily live coaching calls, consistently following the sleep plan, and submitting all daily logs, yet decide that Gentle Sleep Coaching is not working for your family, I will reimburse you for the remaining support time left of your sleep package. There is nothing to lose. Most families see immediate improvement in first 5 days!
Do you use a 'cry-it-out' approach? [+]

We firmly reject any ‘cry-it-out’ method. The ‘cry-it-out’ method does not help your child learn sleep skills. They just ‘crash out’ instead of learning how to self-settle and self-soothe to sleep. Our approach to Guilt-Free, Gentle Sleep Coaching® is to create the right environment and offer the right support for your child to easily and successfully learn how to sleep well. I’m a firm believer in letting sleep science, behavioral science, and attachment theory guide your child’s learning process.

What is the Gentle Sleep Coaching Method? [+]

The Gentle Sleep Coaching is a gentle, gradual approach offering physical and verbal reassurance. This method is also known as the Sleep Lady Shuffle. Our approach to Guilt-Free, Gentle Sleep Coaching® is to create the right environment and offer the right support for your child to easily and successfully learn how to sleep well.

Is sleep coaching safe? [+]

I follow American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for safe sleep practices, so you’re always in good hands. I believe in protecting the physical, mental, and emotional health of every parent-child bond when it comes to creating lifelong healthy sleep habits. Thousands of families, just like you, have trusted my gentle, science-backed process to achieve drama-free bedtimes, peaceful nights, reliable naps, confident parenting, and a well-rested, harmonious home.

What is the best age to consider sleep coaching? [+]

The research suggests that after a baby is over 6 months of age and/or rolling both directions are at a more optimal developmental time to learn their sleep skills. When they are rolling and closer to 6 months, babies have more mobility and demonstrate more sleep cues and have the hormone balancing to sleep longer cycles. For babies ages 0-5 months (newborn phase), it is typically recommended to wait on sleep training until the child is over 6 months of age. Newborn Education and gentle sleep shaping is more appropriate during the newborn phase.

How long does it take to get my child to sleep through the night? [+]

Most nighttime sleep problems can be resolved in 2-4 weeks. However, most families see immediate improvement in the first 5 nights of implementing the sleep plan. It is always recommended to night train first and then move onto nap training.

Is it too late to sleep train my child? [+]

NO! Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching works with families children 0-6 years old. It is never “too late” because sleep is a learned skill, it's never too late to teach your child healthy habits.

Sleep is natural. Isn’t this something babies should just know how to do?

One of the biggest misconceptions about raising children is that babies are born already knowing how to sleep well. The reality is sleep is a learned skill. Our approach to guilt-free, Gentle Sleep Coaching® is to create the right environment and offer the right support for your child to easily and successfully learn how to sleep well.

Are all of your programs the same? Do they all use the Gentle Sleep Method? [+]

The different Sleep Support packages offer different amounts of live support via video calls, but all programs and packages are customized to your child’s temperament and your unique family situation. I always use the Guilt-Free & Gentle Sleep Coaching methodology.

Can I breastfeed while implementing this sleep program? [+]

Absolutely! All Gentle Sleep Coaching Plans include information on how to protect and maintain the nursing relationship and breast milk supply. Whether breast or bottle, we can wean middle-of-night feeds gently and compassionately based on the goals of the family.

What does a sleep coach do? [+]

Sleep coaches work together with families to develop and implement a customized sleep plan to help your child to independently fall asleep and stay asleep. We teach you how to provide reassuring, parentally supported, gradual change that results in improved sleep habits and a well-rested family.

Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching’s customized approach includes a comprehensive consultation, a detailed sleep plan and personalized guidance with live phone support to implement and adjust your sleep plan, step-by-step and day-by day. I “hold your hand” by telling you exactly what to expect and how to attend to your child at bedtime and during night wakings, as well as how to handle naps. I guide you through a proven system to increase confidence, consistency, collaboration with your partner, and—ultimately—sleep success.

How much help will I need to achieve my sleep goals.

If you are a new client to Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching, the first step is to book a Sleep Strategy Session which is a 60 minute Zoom video session where we review your child’s sleep challenges. I will evaluate and assess the right next steps for you to achieve beautiful, blissful sleep. A Sleep Strategy Session is the first step to take if you are interested in one-on-one coaching.

Absolutely, Blissful Baby Sleep Coaching has been offering Virtual Sleep Coaching packages for 10 years and now all are done done via Zoom Video Conferencing, phone and text. I have helped thousands of families using my remote services and clients feel fully supported and get results!

Are you able to work with older children? [+]

I work with children ages 0 to 6 years old. Under certain circumstances, I do work with older children from 6-10 years of age. It is best to book a Sleep Strategy Session first so I can do a proper evaluation and assessment of the sleep behavior and determine if Gentle Sleep Coaching at your child’s age and stage is the right first step. Have hope. Because sleep is a learned skill, it's never too late to teach your child healthy habits.

My baby is a month old, can I start sleep coaching? [+]

Your newborn doesn’t need sleep training. All the way up until 3-4 months old, the best thing for your baby is to eat, sleep whenever they want, or enjoy all the snuggles. We recommend starting with sleep shaping, which is not sleep coaching. I offer Newborn Education with suggestions for sleep shaping at each stage through the newborn phase (0-6 months).

My child sleeps well at night, but naps are a nightmare. Could sleep coaching help me? [+]

Yes, usually if a child has 100% learned sleep skills for bedtime and middle of the night, it is possible to help them use those same skills for naps. The first step is for me to do a proper assessment to guide you further. Booking a Sleep Strategy Session is your next step.

My child sleeps fine, we just have trouble falling asleep without me. Do I still need sleep coaching? [+]

This is a tricky question. In order for me to tell you how to improve bedtime, I would need to do a proper assessment. The first step is a Sleep Strategy Session. Although, sleep is a biological need, while learning to fall asleep without parental assistance is practiced.

My child wakes up too early. Is sleep coaching for me? [+]

Yes! Waking up between 4-6am is considered early rising and can absolutely be corrected through sleep coaching.

My child attends daycare, so scheduling isn't completely in my control. Can I still sleep train? [+]

Daycare and sleep training can absolutely go together. With our sleep coaching packages, we review and analyze every child’s unique sleep case history and customize the sleep report and recommendations based on each case.

I have more than one child, can I sleep coach both of them at the same time? [+]

Absolutely. Our sleep coaching process is completely customized to meet the goals for each child and the whole family system.

Can I continue to room share while sleep coaching? [+]

Our sleep coaching process is completely customized to meet the goals of the family, if room sharing is a goal of the family it can be continued.

Is sleep coaching covered by insurance/HSA or flex? [+]

Yes, sometimes. Call our flexible spending company and see what they say if you have interest.

Who should be involved in sleep coaching? [+]

Both parents must be committed to the sleep coaching plan. It’s suggested that you and your child’s other primary caregiver participate in our Sleep Strategy Session.

There are so many options, what should I look for in a sleep coach? [+]

When hiring a sleep coach it is important that you choose the right methodology based on family values, logistics and how much support you will need to reach goals.

You should consider these questions.

    • Is the sleep consultant certified and what methodology do they use?
    • How many years experience and experience with your child’s age.
    • Do they offer a customized plan based on age, stage, temperament and family logistics?
    • Do they offer follow up zoom/phone and email support?
    • Do they have references, testimonials and success stories?
    • Will you they coach you live and how many calls do you get while you are working your sleep plan.
    • Do they seem caring and compassionate?
