WHY SHOULD I HIRE A SLEEP CONSULTANT?

With all of the information that’s readily available online, and the resources you have at your disposal in the form of friends and family who have managed to get their kids to seep, why would you want to invite a stranger into your home to get your child sleeping through the night?

I don’t often hear the question phrased exactly that way but I now it’s a concern that a lot of parents have when they’re thinking about getting some professional help with their little ones’ sleep habits.  It’s a valid question! After all, your mother managed to get you to sleep at some point. Your friend might have four kids who are all champion sleepers, so she should have some answers for you, right? Well, yes! At least they might. But then again, they might not. 

And let me be the first to say, if you’ve got someone who can help you in this situation, I’m not the least bit offended if you want to ask them for help instead of call a consultant. After all, we’re all trying to save our money where we can, so if you can remedy the problem without paying for it, I’m all for that option!  Most of the time though, my clients are parents who have already tried that route and found it wasn’t successful, and there are dozens of reasons why that might happen.

The biggest reason why the solutions that work for one parent don’t work for another is simple. They’re not dealing with the same baby.  Some babies are heavily reliant on sleep props. Others can’t sleep in a room that’s too warm. Some may not be getting enough daytime sleep, and others might be overtired. This baby might have developed an association between feeding and falling asleep, whereas that one might be ready to drop their second daytime nap. And of course, it could be any combination of all of the above, or the many other sleep challenges that babies might experience.

Adding to the challenge is the fact that most solutions don’t work overnight, so parents might try a solution that could potentially help baby start sleeping through the night, but abandon it before it takes effect due to some heavy protesting on baby’s part.  In short, sleep is a complicated issue and there’s very rarely one single thing that can remedy the situation overnight.

A professional sleep consultant has the experience and training to recognize which problems result in specific symptoms, and can work with you to develop a personalized plan for your child that addresses those individual issues. They can also provide some much needed support when things don’t seem to be working, and give you the encouragement you need to follow through on that plan until it starts to work. 

Consider the example of a personal trainer. You could just get some dumbbells and watch some YouTube videos in order to get in shape, so why pay someone to guide you along? Well, because they’re able to give you solid advice based on education and experience, they can help to keep you motivated, and they know how to respond to the problems that might arise when it comes to your specific situation.  

So when it comes to baby’s sleep, I hope for everyone to find success on their own, and with as few problems as possible. But if that doesn’t happen for you, a professional consultant has the answers and support you need to succeed once and for all.

A Little About Me

I not only spent years dealing with my own children, but I was also a professional nanny for over 12 years prior to becoming a child sleep consultant. Getting babies to sleep well in my care was a great passion of mine, even earning me the name “Baby Whisperer” by more than one of my nanny families! I saw first hand what a profound difference good sleep made in the temperament and happiness of a child, but I didn’t know how to teach parents how to replicate what I was able to achieve with their baby’s sleep.
