Newborn babies between the ages of 0-3 months old. The guidance is gentle, so it could be used on older babies if you know you are not interested in formal sleep training, but want gentle guidance to make progress with sleep. Though, there is no guarantee for sleeping through the night like my 4-18 month sleep training program since this advice is not considered sleep training.

Sleep training is a behavioral intervention technique

What does this mean? Most sleep issues for babies are behavioral or learned, meaning that a habit or sleep association was created at some point that the child feels they need in order to sleep (common examples here are feeding to sleep, rocking to sleep, using a pacifier to fall asleep, holding to sleep, etc.). There are various methods for sleep training, but they all result in the behavior being changed by giving the child the opportunity and time to learn to fall asleep with their own techniques, rather than being helped to sleep each time by the caregiver.

Yes. This guide offers two responsive sleep training techniques that walk you step-by-step through how to handle bedtime, night wakings, naps, mornings, and the overall sleep schedule to help your child sleep 9-12 hours overnight and lengthen naps as soon as they're developmentally ready. 

10 Nights or Less. 

This guide includes a 10-day program that will have your child sleeping through the night in 10 days, when followed exactly and with 100% consistency. Parents who follow the plan exactly to a T typically see vast improvements in sleep within just 2-3 nights, though babies learn at different speeds and therefore, it can also take up to the full 10 days.

Probably. Crying is how babies communicate before they can speak. 

My sleep training methods are not "cry it out." Though, crying can often occur during this process as your child is learning something new and different. "Cry it out" refers to the Extinction Method, where a child is left to cry in their room alone until morning.

My guide offers two sleep training methods and both are responsive and walk you through options for comforting and responding to your child. One method is a "leave and check" method (similar to the Ferber Method, but not exact), and the other method allows you to stay in the room with your child the entire time.

Remember, crying is not inherently bad, crying itself will not harm your child, and sleep training will not harm your attachment with your child. To learn more about crying, attachment theory, and sleep training, you can visit my blog. 

Due to the nature of this guide being solely intended for education and in the form of a PDF, I do not offer refunds on my newborn guide.

Possibly!

If your child is on the cusp (around 3 months old) and you know you want to sleep train at 4 months, the bundle would be a great place to start practicing sleep habits before sleep training at 4 months.

Or, If your child is over 4 months old but you’re not ready to sleep train quite yet and looking for more flexible, gentle techniques, the bundle would also be a great choice.

If your child is over 4 months old and you are sure you want to sleep train, I recommend simply buying the 4-18 months course called “Mastering Baby Sleep 101.”
