There is no magic formula when it comes to teaching sleep. At The Mama Coach, we prefer to call it “sleep learning”, because it is a skill that your child will learn and carry with them into adulthood. Research shows that children with poor sleep skills turn into adults with poor sleep skills. Thankfully the opposite is also true!
Our newborn packages help you build a developmentally appropriate routine and schedule for your child (it’s variable with a newborn), as well as take a good look at feeding — often feeding issues are the reason behind newborn sleep struggles. Between three and four months of age, your newborn will start to cycle through sleep differently — this is a great time to start working on building healthy sleep habits.
Our programs do not use an all or nothing approach. We encourage teaching your child how to listen to their body — feed when they’re hungry and sleep when they’re tired. Often this means keeping feeds overnight and following your child’s lead.
