We're going to lock arms and do this together!

I suspect you've got some questions...

Q:  Does our method rely on crying-it-out? I'm glad you asked. 

The term cry-it-out is used to describe an approach that involves leaving your baby in her room alone for increasing lengths of time until she falls asleep.

You won't be asked to leave your baby to cry-it-out. You'll sit in your baby's room until she learns to fall asleep on her own. You'll be right there to help her feel protected, supported, and cherished.

I want to be very clear, however... chances are there will be some fussing and even crying as your baby adjusts to new sleep routines. While crying can break your heart, you'll never be asked to ignore your baby's tears. You'll support your baby when she protests, but you'll be guided not to step in and take-over.

With your support, your little tiger will push through her frustration and master new falling asleep skills. 

Frustration is an instant motivator and a natural part of learning. Your baby is tired and he wants to fall asleep but just he doesn't know how to make this happen. Feeling frustrated, however, stimulates him to think creatively and discover ways to doze off. 

You're there to help... but the challenge is to help without over-helping.

You're there to support and guide your baby, but you stay on the sidelines and give your baby the room needed to learn and grow. 

The good news is that babies are brilliant and master new skills quickly.

Q: Will my baby sleep through the night? 

Younger babies will sleep for longer stretches, but some little ones may still need to feed at night.

By six months of age and older, most healthy babies will be sleeping through the night within 10 - 14 days, and often sooner. Please chat with your healthcare provider about whether your baby still needs night feeds before dropping them. 

Q: Will my baby be psychologically damaged by sleep-training?

There are several studies that clearly demonstrate there are no emotional consequences of sleep-training. I also rely on my own clinical experience. I've been practicing for 30 years now and I've watched babies grow from newborns to new mommies. Based on firsthand experience, I haven't seen any emotional problems either short or long term when well-loved babies cry during sleep training.  

Q: Won't my baby just become a better sleeper as she gets older?

Unfortunately, the vast majorities of babies need a nudge to become more independent sleepers. I've found that it's easier to encourage good sleep habits early on. So, the longer you wait, the harder it seems to get. 

Q: How long will this take?

Every baby and parent is different. In general, most babies are sleeping better within 7 - 14 days--some take less. I've found that when dads are involved, it's often MUCH quicker... not exactly sure why that's so...but I can imagine a few reasons.

The most important ingredients for success is consistency and confidence. You need to project confidence in the plan to help your baby feel secure. And consistency allows your little one to understand the new routine and not waste energy trying to figure out what to expect. 

When energy isn't wasted on trying to understand the plan, your baby can move forward and discover her natural self-soothing abilities. 

Q: I've tried everything and nothing's worked...why will this work?

Please don't buy this course unless you're 100 % committed to changing your baby's sleep habits.

The most common reason for sleep training to fail is that parents are lacking either support, solid information, or a clear plan.

We're in this together, and you'll receive very specific instructions, information, support, and guidance every day for 10 days. 

Finally, consistency is the key to success. When your baby knows exactly what to expect from you, and you let her know you believe in her...she'll adapt. 

Q: Will my baby's protests get worse before they get better?

The extinction burst is a behavioral term for an increase in protests when a child isn't getting the response she wants and expects. She thinks, "Ummm... if I cried, Mom and Dad used to pick me and feed me until I fell asleep...so maybe if I cry louder and longer they'll do what I want." 

When you expect the extinction burst and recognize that positive change is just around the corner, it's easier to hang in. 

Q: Do I have to sleep-train my baby? I don't mind getting up at night. 

There's no reason to sleep-train your baby if you're happy with night wakenings. However, in my experience, most parents eventually hit their limit and decide to encourage good habits at some point. But here's the problem...the later you begin sleep-training, the harder it is for your baby or toddler. 

Q: Is this course right for me?

The Healthiest (Older) Baby Sleep Secrets!: Help Your Baby Fall In Love With Bedtime is right for any parent who's tired of being tired!

It's designed for babies and toddlers from 4 - 18 months of age. 

The method is based on providing soothing support using a technique called fading i.e...you'll stay in the room with your baby the entire time but you'll hand over the reins bit by bit.

This course is right for you if you genuinely care about using the most gentle approach and you can accept it might take a bit longer. 

You're willing to put in the work needed to gently guide your baby to develop healthy sleep habits, knowing you'll feel more energetic, optimistic, and happier when everyone is sleeping longer and better.
