FAQ

NEWBORN FOUNDATIONS

  • No, I do not recommend traditional sleep training methods until the baby is over four months old. This is more focused on building your connecting with baby, establishing the sleep foundations - nutrition, routine, environment, and wake windows, and learning how to care and adjust life with a newborn. No crying involved. Plenty of cuddles though.

  • No, In fact, we will discuss ways how you can keep up with your baby’s nutritional needs throughout the first four months of life. I’m also a big promoter of making sure there are plenty of cuddles, bonding opportunities for both parents, and using babywearing as a tool to give parent/parents some freedom.

INFANT SLEEP SERVICES

  • The answer is no. I do not use a traditional cry it out approach but there will be some crying involved. Why, you may ask? Well, the simple answer is because babies cry. That is their way of communicating with us. They cry when they are hungry, cry when they spoiled their diaper, cry when they are sleepy, and cry when they just want the extra snuggles. Crying is inevitable, but being tired in motherhood doesn’t have to be.

  • Yes, I follow the AAP recommendations of having baby sleep in the parents room (not bed) for at least the first 6 months. Some decide to move their little one into their own room sooner and that is fine as well. It just depends on the family circumstances and baby’s sleep sensitivity levels.

  • Yes! Sleep training is not about decreasing breastfeeding times. It’s more about allowing your little one to get rested enough for them to have better days and happier moments. However, if mom chooses to drop feedings because she is up every 2-3 hours at night, then we will work towards dropping that habit based on the mothers request.

TODDLER SLEEP SERVICES

  • The answer is no. I do not use a traditional cry it out approach but there will be some crying involved. Why, you may ask? Well, the simple answer is because babies cry. That is their way of communicating with us. They cry when they are hungry, cry when they spoiled their diaper, cry when they are sleepy, and cry when they just want the extra snuggles. Crying is inevitable, but being tired in motherhood doesn’t have to be.

  • This is actually one of the most common issues parents mention when it comes to toddler bedtimes. They are prone to ask for anything and everything just to delay bedtime. If you need help with this then we can discuss methods that you can implement that can help. 

  • Toddlers are bound to have different sleep habits at daycare and at home as they get older. Some just do not require much day sleep while others sleep better when they see that their peers are also sleeping. Establishing some consistency is something we can work on for sure. 

PRESCHOOLER SLEEP SERVICES

  • When your child is ready to drop their nap, it may be wise to transition to implementing quiet time. Quiet time can be for 30 minutes to an hour in a safe space such as their bedroom or a designated corner in your home where they can sit. Examples of quiet time activities include: coloring, sitting with a book, sticker book, puzzles, or anything else that does not require your assistance and can be done independently. 

  • I recommend parents to keep their child in the crib till at least 2 or 2.5 if possible. If child starts escaping the crib then that becomes a safety concern and we can discuss ways to prevent this, and if needed, help with the transition to a big kid bed. 

  • If they share a room, I would invest in a good white noise machine such as the hatch. If they are in separate rooms then you can place a door knob child lock on it to prevent toddlers/kids to open the door and wake up your baby. Let’s chat to discuss other ways to stop these behaviors and get everyone in the house rested.
