No! I always support a mother who wants to continue to breastfeed. GSCs even take a class taught by lactation experts on how to support breastfeeding while sleep training.

Just like with any milestone, it takes time to develop a new skill. Most families who are consistent and committed to the process begin to see success within 7-10 nights and successful, consistent naps within 2-3 weeks.

Yes! I am very supportive of breastfeeding and co-sleeping if they are the parents’ choice.

Absolutely! If you are doing nap coaching on the weekends only, this process may take a bit longer. To make sure your child is ready for night sleep training, I will ask you to work with your daycare provider to support your child’s daytime sleep needs. I am a creative problem solver and we will make a plan that works for your family!

I am trained to work with children from birth to 6 years of age.

There is no research to support that babies are ready for sleep training before 4 months of age. For 0-5 month old babies, we will discuss realistic sleep expectations for a newborn, how to set up a good sleep foundation and most of all how to offer soothing strategies for this age group. For babies 4 and 5 months old I will assess when a baby is ready for gentle sleep training and where to start.
