FAQ

This is different with each child and depends on several factors. In general parents see improvement (with night sleep first) in a few days. Naps take longer and this is where most parents need support (Night and Day Solution or VIP). Crying is an inevitable part of childhood and life. The response I teach deepens the bond and strengthens relationship.

YES, there is an easier softer way. The more gentle and incremental approach can take longer and depending on many other factors,  it can actually prolong crying. Much depends on the age of your child. Babies cry to create consistency. In my experience there are two ways to stop the crying. 1. Consistently fix the child’s sleep (rock nurse, walk, drive, etc.) 2. Consistently stop fixing the child’s sleep.  I teach parents how to stop fixing it AND how to calm the crying.

If we look at sleep associations and sleep crutches as habits, then growing out of it is not likely. A simple definition of habit is; something we get better at. Based on this definition it makes sense that we tend to grow into habit rather than out of it. Good news! In human years your child’s habit is not that ingrained. With your help and mine, your child will improve and learn quickly.

IF you have tried another sleep consultant, tried Cry It Out or any other method and ended up going back to fixing your child’s sleep – I STRONGLY recommend any of my top three solutions. I wish you had found Compassionate Sleep Solutions first AND I want this to be your last consultant hire.

Twins and multiples  – For twins, multiples, and siblings who are close to the same developmental, I do not charge extra. However, you will more than likely need to add a support call if one is an infant and the other is a toddler.

Yes. This is quite often a family affair. And the results are incredible when we involve the entire family in the solution, including the cat and dog. We are in a sense, pack animals. Children respond incredibly well when the whole family is involved. For a family solution I recommend any of  my top three packages or additional support.

If you had sleep success before and got off track – this can be enough.

If your child can do the “falling of falling asleep” successfully and you are in a transition that is throwing sleep off – the One Hour Consultation can be enough.

A One Hour Consultation can be enough.  But naps quite often need additional support.
