Find answers to the most common questions about baby sleep and my consultation service.
Baby sleep coaching, often compared to „Schlaftraining” (sleep training), is the process of teaching your baby to sleep independently, helping them develop healthy sleep habits. It involves supportive methods to gently guide your baby to sleep through the night without needing constant assistance.
Yes, sleep training – when done with evidence-based methods – is safe for your baby and can actually promote healthier sleep patterns that benefit their overall well-being.
From a developmental perspective, I recommend starting earliest at about 5 months. Around 4-6 months, babies' circadian rhythms and sleep cycles become more established, and they are biologically ready for structured sleep routines. Most babies would also have reached a developmental milestone where they can begin to self-soothe and manage longer periods of sleep. However, every baby is different, so it's essential to evaluate their unique needs. Book a FREE intro call and we can have chat to see if your baby is ready.
No! Many parents worry that sleep training means leaving their baby to cry. I take a holistic approach that is gentle and responsive to the emotional needs of your baby. I work with you to find a solution that aligns with your parenting style, family dynamics, temperament of your child, and what is appropriate based on the health and development of your child.
While every baby is unique, most parents see significant improvements within 7 days of starting a personalised sleep plan. Consistency is key to making these changes effective and sustainable.
