CERTIFIED BABY SLEEP COACHES ONLINE
Online sleep coaching
for infants
Your baby isn't 'bad at sleeping.' You've just been given advice that wasn't built for your baby, your household, or where you're at right now. A certified sleep coach builds a plan that actually fits — gentle, structured, or somewhere in between.

THE REALITY
Newborn sleep schedule support that actually works
Cry it out. Don't cry it out. Responsive settling. Dream feeding. Co-sleeping. Never co-sleep. The SNOO. The 5 S's. Your mother-in-law's opinion from 1987.
The Ferber method. The Fading method. The Shush-Pat. Pick a method — any method — and you'll find someone online telling you it's wrong
A 2019 randomized controlled trial in Pediatrics compared graduated extinction, bedtime fading, and no intervention. At 12-month follow-up: no differences in stress hormones, attachment, or child outcomes. What DID differ? Consistency. Timing. Individual fit.
The AAP's updated safe sleep guidelines (based on 159 studies): approximately 3,500 sleep-related infant deaths annually in the US, risk 5–10x higher when bed-sharing with infants under four months. Room-sharing for 6+ months reduces SIDS risk by up to 50%.
What a sleep coach does that an app can't?
Apps track patterns. They can tell you how long your baby slept. They can't tell you why your baby woke up at 3:47am for the fourth night in a row, or that the issue is a sleep association caused by the way you're settling them at bedtime.
A certified sleep coach:
- Asks about your baby's temperament, feeding type, and reflux history
- Builds a plan around your family's actual capacity right now — not a template
- Adjusts in real time as your baby responds, not just generates a new report
- Is available when things aren't working at 11pm, not just when you remember to log a wake window
If you've already tried the apps and the sleep guides and the Facebook group advice — this is the next step.'
Going through a sleep regression right now?
The 4-month, 8-month, and 18-month regressions are the most common reasons parents find us. Each one is a real developmental shift — not a phase you can push through by waiting it out.
Our coaches work with:
- The 4-month regression (the big one — sleep architecture is permanently changing)
- The 8–10 month regression (developmental leaps, pulling to stand, separation anxiety)
- The 18-month and 2-year regressions (language explosion, boundaries, big feelings)
- Any point in between where things suddenly stopped working

Sleep coaching questions parents ask most
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is sleep training safe for babies?
1
A 2019 RCT in Pediatrics found no significant differences in stress hormones, attachment, or behavioral outcomes across methods at 12-month follow-up. The AAP recommends choosing the approach that works for your family.
How much does a baby sleep consultant cost?
2
Sessions range from $75 to $200. Multi-week packages cost $350 to $1,000+. Most coaches offer a free 15-minute discovery call.
Why my 4 month old won't sleep in bassinet?
3
The 4-month sleep regression is real: your baby's sleep architecture is maturing. A sleep coach helps you navigate this transition with a plan matched to your baby's temperament.
Sleep coach vs sleep app: which is better?
4
Apps like Huckleberry track data well. But only 7% of parents complete self-directed programs. A human coach assesses your full picture and builds a plan around it.
An app doesn't know your baby has reflux, or that you've had postpartum anxiety, or that your toddler is in the next room and certain methods aren't an option. A coach does.
Does gentle sleep training actually work?
5
Usually one of three things was off: timing (some methods don't work before 16–20 weeks), fit (the method wasn't right for that baby's temperament), or inconsistency (the plan fell apart after two hard nights). A coach identifies which one and adjusts.
Most families see meaningful change within 7–14 days. Some see it faster. The first 3 nights are usually the hardest regardless of method — what makes the difference is having someone to check in with during those nights.
I've already tried sleep training and it didn't work. What's different about using a coach?
6
How long does sleep training actually take?
7
Yes — consistently, according to a 2019 randomized controlled trial published in Pediatrics. What 'gentle' means varies by family. Our coaches work across the full spectrum from fully responsive approaches to more structured graduated methods. The key variable isn't the method — it's the consistency and fit for your specific baby.
My baby has reflux. Can you still help?
8
Yes — reflux complicates sleep, but it doesn't make a personalised plan impossible. Our coaches are experienced with medical sleep challenges and will always flag if something needs clinical input first.

You deserve to sleep, too.
The Surgeon General declared parental stress is a public health crisis. Sleep deprivation is at the center of it.
