How can sleep consulting help you
So you’ve got an infant or toddler and are trying to support them in their sleep- is sleep consulting right for you? Here are some ways that our sleep consultation can help!
Sleep Consulting empowers parents to trust their instincts- rather than following blanket advice that works best for someone else.
While online searches can certainly help give you some ideas to try- sleep routines and strategies are not a one-size-fits-all approach. With our infant + toddler sleep consultation, you will complete a thorough online assessment and sleep log so that our certified sleep consultant knows the ins and outs of your little one’s experience as well as how things are going with the whole family system. From there, you will get tailored recommendations and resources that support you in trusting your own instincts when it comes to supporting your little one’s sleep. This will teach you how to understand the needs of your child as they change over time, rather than having to stick to rigid rules that won’t apply to all situations or families.
Sleep consulting helps you in strengthening your bond with your child as you support their sleep.
Some recommendations that we see online focus on your child learning to sleep in isolation without support. If your baby happens to be an easy sleeper- this approach might work fine. But, as you are reading this blog post, we can guess that your little one needs a little extra support to get into their sleep routine (as most of us do!). Our recommendations are based off of what it appears your babies needs are as well as what your comfort with things is as well. This means that supporting your baby to sleep will be relational- so not only will sleep get to improve, but so will connection and trust in your bond together!
Sleep consulting helps you support your child in learning lifelong sleep skills rooted in healthy attachment.
When you approach sleep support through a relational perspective, your child can learn that sleep and their routines around sleep are a safe and comfortable experience. As these skills develop, your child will learn to identify their own sleep and routine needs and be able to practice supporting those over their lifetime!
Sleep consulting improves sleep confidence for both parents and their little ones.
With an individualized approach, you will get to learn so much more about yourself, your child, and the relationships in your family system. This will help parents to feel more confident in their parenting instincts and approach to sleep, as well as help kiddos trust in the process and feel confident with sleep over the long term.
