Absolutely not! The best thing about having predictability with your child’s day is that you’re able to more confidently plan outings for when you know your little one will be awake and happy, rather than not knowing what your day will bring.

We do however recommend that while you’re starting off with the program that you try to do the majority of naps in the same sleep environment just while you get your little one onto the new schedule and in a good routine. It is best for your baby that you prioritize sleep while trying to establish a consistent sleep schedule. Once you have established the routine, you can be more flexible with getting out and about.

The morning and afternoon naps are really easy to do out and about. We recommend that you aim for the long lunchtime nap to happen in your baby’s bed, or a conducive sleep environment (as opposed to in the car, stroller or front pack, etc) as this helps teach them that this is where they sleep (which has a positive impact on their night time settling and sleep in their bed) and it also ensures they have the best chance for a long nap and achieve deep, restorative sleep. It will also help them immensely in having a more settled afternoon and not getting overtired before bedtime.

Yes. We encourage you to go about your usual routine but we do ask that you remain commitment free around naptimes during the day and bedtime in the evening as sleep needs to be prioritized during the program. It is also best to temporarily avoid long car/stroller rides in the lead up to nap time or bedtime as this increases the risk of your baby catnapping and not settling well at scheduled nap times. 

Quick and long-lasting positive changes are achieved when parents prioritize the program completely for the entire 14 days. If your child is attending daycare or being looked after during the program by a caregiver then you can give them clear and easy-to-follow instructions in regards to your child’s new sleep plan.

• We have multiple settling techniques ranging from gentle to intermediate so you can choose which option you think will work best for your family.
• Temperament plays a huge role in choosing the right settling technique and we guide you through how to choose the best option for your little one (there is no one size fits all!)
• Each settling technique is shown in a 1-2 minute video with step-by-step written instructions so that there is no guesswork and you are equipped to know how to carry through the technique.
• We have troubleshooting sections included so that if your little one is having an off day, or they are adjusting to the new schedule, you know how to adjust the rest of your day.
• We have sleep schedules for each age between 5-18 months so avoiding any ambiguity and vague awake windows. It helps to not only ensure that your little one is getting the sleep that they need, but it is helping them to get the RIGHT amount of sleep to positively impact their night sleep. 
• You will have lifetime access to the program so you can easily and regularly refer back to the program if you need any refreshers. 
• We have a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee so there is no risk when trying our program.

Teaching your little one how to sleep is very much a “1 step forward, 2 step back” process. Unfortunately for parents, sleep is not linear! 

That’s just not how infant development works. They make progress and then come back. This is human development! This is all normal!

Sleep learning comes with certain regressions as the days go on so keep this in mind. It’s not always the case, however most commonly we find that the cycle goes as follows: 

1. Baby/child learns to self-settle and resettle through sleep cycles 
2. Day sleep falls into place 
3. Then night sleep falls into place 
4. Day sleep temporarily can regress again as baby adjusts to increased overall sleep overnight (which is a good thing!)
5. Day time sleep falls back into place

Keep this cycle of sleep learning in mind as you go through the program. If you’ve had one of those random, off nights, or it still feels hard just know that this is completely normal and we are 100% with you! 

Also, all babies are different! We have had some babies sleep through the night within the first 3 days, while others can take longer over a few weeks. This all depends on how you decide to approach your little one’s sleep plan that will work best for your family. Results do not happen overnight (excuse the pun!) so you will have a few tough days and nights. Go into the program with this expectation and that way your stamina in the moment (even at 1 or 2 or 3am!) will be great as you will be mentally prepared as opposed to going into it expecting your baby to magically start sleeping perfectly with little to no effort on your behalf.

Yes absolutely! Our founder breastfed her second baby (her first baby was mix fed :) ) while successfully implementing the program. You are also able to breastfeed your baby on demand if that’s your preference, or you can choose to follow the suggested feeding times in the Guides, which are designed to ensure that your little one won’t wake early from naps because they are hungry. The schedules with feeding times change as your baby gets older and you are guided for each age from 5-18 months.

This is one of the most common questions that we receive in regards to improving your little one’s sleep. No one enjoys listening to their baby cry, and we can’t guarantee that tears won’t happen. Our goal is for babies to learn to sleep through the night, but shed the least amount of tears in the process! 

Self-settling will be one of our main goals for your child. If your child is currently assisted to sleep even some of the time with the use of props such as pacifiers, rocking, patting, shushing, co-sleeping, laying together, bottle/breastfeeding etc then of course we can expect some frustrated protests from your child as we begin to remove the sleep association that they previously relied on. Babies thrive on routine--change is not something they like-- and they will often respond by communicating with the only thing they know...crying!

There are fast working techniques (what we would classify as intermediate) that involve small periods of crying (with you going in and out of the room to offer reassurance in between) and there are gentler techniques that can take longer which will involve your complete presence during the entire falling asleep process. The length of time that it takes your child to grasp the new skill of self-settling is dependent on which technique you choose and how consistently you implement this technique. 

Overall the techniques involving small periods of crying produce faster changes and leave you free to be out of the room during the settles and during overnight wakes. They also result in less crying overall ie 3-4 days of crying during settles as opposed to 10 days-2 weeks (or longer, depending on your child) for “in room” techniques. It is incredibly important that you are 100% comfortable with whatever settling technique you decide is a good fit for you and your child! 

Our methods for teaching self-settling allow you to comfort your baby throughout the process, meaning you can go at your own pace and provide hands-on comfort if that is your preference. As we aim to cater to many different parenting styles, we also provide a more hands-off method for parents who choose that approach, but this is not traditional "extinction" sleep training. 

We are parents too and have been in your exact position, and would never recommend anything that we wouldn’t do with our own children. Truthfully, that’s the reason why we created this program in the first place so that parents were given the option on which settling technique suits them as there is no one size that fits all! 

Although the first few nights are most commonly the toughest, within a week (or even sooner!), families will begin to see great positive progress! If your child is still experiencing major upset—there may be something missing in your sleep plan, and you can easily reach out for additional support :) 

Some babies would happily sleep all day and some will wake naturally from naps and regulate their own sleep. If your baby is at risk of having too much day sleep which will impact their night time settling and sleep, then we do recommend you wake your baby some of the time. 

Helping your baby regulate their daytime naps is the best way to help them consolidate their night time sleep quicker. We have also designed our program to work with your little one’s circadian rhythm to help them maintain a balanced, consistent and predictable day.

Of course! Our approach is to empower parents with knowledge, and not to force anything on you. Our program is designed to help parents achieve the changes they need for the healthy sleep of the whole family, without compromising their parenting style. That is also why we have included multiple settling techniques so that you can choose which one feels right for your family.

Our program is broken down into 6 modules of short videos (mostly around 2 minutes).

We break down the program into two halves to make it as easy to consume as possible with action steps along the way. The combination of short videos with supporting pdf documents make the program super easy to follow along including being able to have each age-appropriate sleep schedule available on your phone for easy access to reference throughout the day. 

The program comprises of short videos approximately 100 minutes long. 

We recommend to break down the program over 2 weeks to reduce the overwhelm and ensure long-lasting positive changes for weeks, months and years to come! This gives you the best chance to establish new healthy sleep habits so you can get yourself a good little sleeper!
