FAQ

  • When should I start sleep coaching?

    There’s no wrong time to begin; it’s never too late to work on changes around sleep. I only recommend working on changes around sleep and sleep training from 4 months plus. I specialise in helping babies and toddlers from 4 months to 4 years old.

  • What sleep training methods do you use?

    Each plan is tailored to meet your child's unique 24 hour sleep needs and your family's lifestyle. My evidence-based, scientific approach on sleep focuses the biology of sleep and your baby’s unique sleep needs. For babies under 14 months, I take a more structured approach, I promise you will always be responding to your baby—in short, consistent, responsive pop ins. For toddlers, it’s more gradual. Always tailored. Always realistic.

    I don’t believe in wake windows, generic schedules, or letting your baby ‘cry it out’. 

    My approach is rooted in science and research. I will also review real sleep data from your baby before we start.

    I will be honest with you—sleep training does involve change, and yes, that means some crying. Even gentle approaches involve crying.  But I’ll guide you with honest, supportive, evidence-based strategies that allow you to still be responsive to their needs, not damage attachment and they still feel supported while learning how to sleep independently. 

  • Can I continue to room share?

    Yes! If you wish to continue room sharing with your baby during sleep training, it’s still possible to teach them to self-soothe independently. However, I do recommend that after your child turns 1, they tend to sleep better in their own safe sleep space in their own room.

  • Can I continue bed-sharing?

    My plans are designed to help your child learn to sleep independently in their own sleep space.

  • How long does it take?

    It depends on your child’s age, the method you choose, your consistency in following the plan, and your baby's unique needs. Positive changes can typically be observed within 1-2 weeks, and often you see improvements sooner. Depending which method you choose - often, under a week if you are able to follow the plan to a T.

  • Do I have to stop breastfeeding or night feeds?

    Sleep training doesn’t have to mean night weaning if you're not ready for that yet. Whenever you feel ready, we can approach gradual night weaning while considering your baby’s developmental stage.

    I won’t ask you to stop breastfeeding, drop all night feeds, stay home all day, or follow a rigid plan. Good sleep doesn’t mean you have to night wean if your baby isn’t ready, these are two very seperate things. You can still get good sleep and place night feeds.
