Katie's Thoughts on Sleep Training
Teaching your baby to sleep well can be challenging.
Your baby is (quite literally) constantly growing and developing during the first year.
As your baby develops, your strategies for helping your baby learn to sleep will also grow and develop alongside your little one.
Adapting how your help your baby at bedtime, overnight wakings, and naps is an important part of learning to sleep well.
Sleep during the first year can go sideways for a variety of reasons... developmental changes and leaps, an illness, vacation, maybe your child has always had a hard time falling or staying asleep, or perhaps you are just ready for your child to sleep differently than in the past.
How we improve your child's sleep partially depends on your child's specific challenges.
However, there are some basic principles that guide everything I teach.
My Guiding Principles for Sleep Training
Evidence Based, I'm a nurse, everything I recommend is based off science
Practical, I'm a mom, I know that parents need to know exactly what to do, and then exactly what to do if/when the first plan doesn't work
Gradual, small challenges each week, to gradually transfer the responsibility from you putting your babe to sleep to your babe putting him or herself to sleep/back to sleep
Available, the more involved you are with your babe falling asleep at bedtime and overnight, the more sleep challenges your baby will have, however as we teach your babe to sleep better, you will be available and present at predictable times to offer assistance and support
Crying, will occur as your baby protests the change from a familiar routine, but I will show you how to gradually teach your babe to accept less and less help, and we will gradually wean your assistance away, I do not use the cry-it-out method
Positive, my mommy heart guides all recommendations I make, positive and supportive interactions are always the way
