Can Infant Sleep Coaching Help My Family? Yes! Here’s How

Learn how a newborn sleep consultant will help you and your family sleep easier.
Trust in Years of Experience
Infant sleep coaches have years of experience helping babies sleep better through the night. We work with babies every day and continuously learn new and effective ways to help families get more sleep. Instead of going through trial and error to see how to help your infant sleep better, a sleep training specialist will be able to do it much faster and more effectively.
This is true whether it’s your first or third child. Every single baby, even siblings who are twins, has different needs when it comes to sleeping. A sleep coach can assess the infant's needs and create a plan that you can easily follow.
Peace of Mind
A sleep coach doesn’t just train your baby; they also teach you. Depending on the method your sleep coach recommends, you may not be allowed to go in and check on them every time they make a noise.
For example, the cry it out (CIO) method requires you to let your child be alone, even if they’re crying. As long as you know they’re in a safe environment and see everything is okay on your baby monitor, CIO only works if you follow the instructions given by your sleep coach exactly how they gave them to you.
That’s why having a coach can give you peace of mind by giving you the encouragement and resources you need to sleep-train your child effectively.
Facts Over Opinions
There are a lot of opinions revolving around sleep training. Instead of letting your head spin with information overload, trust your sleep coach to give you the necessary information. Our sleep coaches at Baby Bloom Newborn Care always provide recommendations based on facts and experience.
Any time you have a question or need clarification, your sleep coach will happily answer and guide you in the right direction. Your sleep coach can also provide recommendations on products you’re thinking of buying for your infant. We know what works and what’s a gimmick, so feel free to ask us about anything related to your infant.
Timeline for Starting
It’s usually recommended to start sleep training no sooner than three months of age, but that doesn’t mean you can’t begin creating a plan and timeline. From the first night you have with your newborn, you should start a nighttime routine to prepare them for sleep.
A sleep coach at this point can help you determine the best nighttime routine for you and your family. They’ll give you guidelines such as when to start preparing them for bed and what steps you should take each night.
Then, when they’re three months old, it will be that much easier to start sleep training since you already have a routine established.
Tips For Finding Infant Sleep Coaching Help
It’s a daunting task to find the right person to bring into your home and help sleep-train your baby. If you already work with a newborn care specialist or night nanny, ask them for recommendations for sleep training. They’re a great starting point for finding someone to trust with your infant.
If you’re brand new to finding help for your infant, ask your friends and family for recommendations. Search online in any local Facebook groups you’re in for recommendations and read their reviews on Google.
There’s plenty of help available, so narrow down your choices to your top three providers. See if you can do a free consultation with any of them to see what it’s like to work with them, and what working with them looks like. Once you find someone you’re comfortable with, it’s time to let them help you!
What to Expect With Infant Sleep Coaching?
When you find the perfect sleep coach, expect them to ask many questions. They’ll want to get to know you and your family’s needs better before starting any type of training. They may even ask to watch what you do in the night before recommending a strategy.
Expect there to be tears. It’s okay for your baby to cry, even if it doesn’t feel right at first. Your sleep coach will be there to help encourage you in the chosen sleep training method, and we promise there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Working with a coach doesn’t mean you won’t have any control, either. If you’re unhappy with the methods at any point, you can stop, and we can make a new plan. Nothing is more important than ensuring you and your baby are happy and healthy.
