Frequently Asked Questions

Newborns, infants, toddlers and children up to age 5 years old.

Information will need to be provided to Sarah, via an intake form, related to your baby/toddler/child on feeding, napping, night time sleep, settling and other questions to gain an understanding of your current sleep situation and to understand your goals in regard to your child’s sleep. Sarah will then create a detailed personalized sleep assessment that you will be sent within two business days.  A scheduled phone call will happen prior to commencing sleep training to understand and feel comfortable with the plan before sleep training begins.
Once sleep training starts, you will provide sleep logs every 12/24 hours over 2 weeks. Sarah will provide feedback and adjust the schedule as needed.

A variety of sleep training methods will be offered to you in your personalized sleep plan, from gentle to the more traditional methods. It is your decision which method will work best with your family while keeping in mind your parenting style/comfort level alongside the temperament of your baby.
Keep in mind that while sleep training a baby with a deep rooted sleep association, even with no cry solutions, he or she may cry out of frustration during this transition/adjustment.  This does not mean that you leave your baby alone to cry, you are there to support and reassure along the way in developing healthy sleep patterns.

If your baby was to fall sick during sleep training, all training will be put on hold and completed once your little one was 100% healthy.  This does not mean you will lose your support, we will simply restart where you left off once your baby was feeling better.

An extra week of support is available as an upgrade to any package.

All feeding styles are supported, including breast, formula or combination feeding. I will not tell you to stop breastfeeding.  Overnight feeds are also supported through the sleep training process.

A sleep consultant has done research and has the experience and knowledge to give practical advice in facilitating a better night’s sleep. As many mothers are often so sleep deprived, it is much easier to receive interactive and personalized help with practical tools than to try to evaluate and comprehend the numerous books on this matter.

Many sleeping scenarios are supported, including room sharing families, attachment parents and babies sleeping in their own room.  Unfortunately, I am unable to support a family that would like to continue bedsharing due to safety reasons.
