There’s no such thing as a “bad sleeper”, just babies who haven’t figured it out yet.

Can’t remember what a full eight hours feels like? I’ve been there. Now that I’m on the other (more rested) side, I’m here to tell you there are no lost causes. Some of them are better at sleeping than others, for sure. But even the ones who have partied all night for 3 or 4 years can still figure it out.

Babies and toddlers know how to sleep and they want to sleep. They’re likely as sleep-deprived as you are. They’re also running on adrenaline and having a hard time regulating. There are always a lot of factors at play when we address a sleep issue. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. There’s the baby’s physiology, the environment, the routines…the list goes on. I don’t subscribe to any one method of “sleep training”. In fact, my goal is often to avoid sleep training if we can prevent poor sleep from the beginning.

I define sleep training as “helping parents learn how to stop helping their babies sleep”. This can be done at any age and with a wide variety of methods. Grab a 15-minute slot my calendar if you have questions or if you need help deciding which appointment or package is best for your family.
