How can a Sleep Consultant help?

• Assess & Plan: Evaluate sleep environments, patterns, & family needs to design custom plans.

• Teach Skills: Guide parents on sleep science, circadian rhythms, & how to help kids fall asleep independently.

• Provide Support: Offer accountability, reassurance, & strategies for common challenges (e.g., 4-month regression, room-leaving). 

When to Start? Around 4-6 months when babies are developmentally ready, but foundations can start from birth.

Is Sleep Training Safe? Yes, when age-appropriate and tailored to the child and family, it's safe and doesn't harm attachment or development.

Cry-It-Out (CIO) Methods? Many consultants offer various methods (gentle, CIO, no-tears) and tailor to parental comfort, though bed-sharing is generally discouraged for safety.

How Long Does it Take? Significant improvements often seen in 2-6 weeks, depending on the plan.
