Newborn sleep consultants are knowledgeable in the cognitive and physical stages of infant development. A Newborn Sleep Consultant will work one on one with parents to teach and guide them into learning safe sleep practices, habits, and the importance of routines and scheduling. A Newborn Sleep Consultant can form a step by step customized feeding and sleep training plan for your baby to ensure the proper amount of daily sleep is achieved for your infant.
Newborn Sleep Consultants can be as hands-on as families want or need, from forming a DIY sleep plan for parents to implement on their own or to providing overnight care for your infant while implementing the sleep plan for you. Newborn Sleep Consulting can benefit a lot of families, but appeals to most families that have multiple children and lead a busy lifestyle, so parent sleep is of the utmost importance to ensure that the daily care of all children’s needs is being met. It also appeals to the dual working parent family – when a parent has to return to work after a 6,10,12 week maternity leave is over, it’s important for the parent to get as much sleep as possible. The best way to achieve this is by putting into place sleep routines and practices that will gently guide your newborn/infant into a healthy sleep pattern as early as possible. For the full term, healthy infants 10 -12 hours of continuous sleep per night, by 16 weeks can be achieved when a sleep plan is implemented early.
