Can you guarantee “no crying” you might ask? No, no one really can. For example, if you as the parent have taught your child that the way to fall asleep is to be held to sleep for naps, bedtime and night waking’s and you decide that you want to change this, your child will naturally protest or resist this change. After all, they don’t know why you have changed your approach. If your child is preverbal, then they will cry, but you will be there with them while they are learning. Our goal is to have as little crying as possible. We encourage parents to be responsive but to also allow the child to learn this vital life skill of putting themselves to sleep.

After 6 weeks of age, families can begin to start gentle sleep shaping approaches to help their babies begin to sleep better. However, it is important to note that at this delicate age the importance should be placed on bonding with baby. At 4.5 months, after most babies have gone through the 4-month leap, they may be ready for additional sleep coaching methods. And, at 6-months most babies are developmentally ready to begin gentle sleep coaching methods that build their independence with sleep. It is important to note that you can be successful with sleep coaching whether you are room sharing, co-sleeping or sleeping in separate rooms. We can develop a sleep plan that makes you confident that you can achieve your family’s sleep goals.
