Parents of more than one kiddo can attest that sleep (and temperaments) are rarely the same child to child. Of course you're having a tough time figuring out exactly what to do! Especially, when anything you google results in some form of “cry it out” and sleep training methods while your pediatrician and family tells you your baby isn’t sleeping because you have to leave them to cry

We know parenting is hard–and that you can sometimes feel anything but joyful. You’ll never hear us say things like, “your baby is waking because you nurse them to sleep” or “you are teaching them bad habits” or whatever other toxic parenting BS that’s out there–because that’s just false. And yet–on the other side of the baby sleep spectrum are people wanting you to remove the connection and love you feel for your little one in order for them to comply with sleep wants. Uh-huh! That’s not what we’re about here at Talkin’ Sleep!
This is a guilt-free parenting area–and one of the reasons our approach is about providing you with information, tools, and strategies to maximize babies' sleep without compromising those parts that you and your baby enjoy.
Let’s check them out!
Sometimes you aren’t sure if it’s time to night wean so this part of the class helps you identify whether you are ready and to define your goal for night weaning. Some families are looking to reduce night time feeds while others would like to cut them out all together. I help you to decide what your individual goal is. We include a night weaning toll worksheet to help you decide.
I promised that we care for your baby’s needs as well as your well-being and personal breastfeeding goals. So in this part of the class I help you understand the connection between daytime and nighttime feeds. I also provide information designed for you to consider and protect your personal breastfeeding goals. And of course – we make sure your baby is getting what they need, too.
In this part of the class I tell you my proven process for cutting out some or all night time feeds. I offer you choices of strategies so that you can choose what resonates with you and what feels most practical in your life, so we can ensure your personal success. We cover two approaches including one with a partner and another one your own. Parents can choose one or a combination of both.

Making changes isn't easy and there are probably a million and one questions running through your head--Where do you even start? What if I get less sleep if I cut feeds? What if the process will be harder than to just keep going?
You might even find yourself reacting with anger and resentment towards nursing to sleep or nursing at night--because honestly you have been really patient and baby led but at this point you are tired of getting up at night to nurse.
At the end of the day--you're starting to realize this struggle with night nursing is not allowing you to be the mom you want to be during the day because you are just so exhausted.
The problem really just comes to--you aren't sure how to make that happen and need help. Because although you might not be ready to cut night time feeds just yet but you want to be prepared for when you are
Are we the right fit?
Being a data driven person myself–I want you to have all the details to help you make the best decision for you. So we looked at all the families we’ve helped over the years and found that Baby Sleep Essentials will be perfect for you if….
Your parenting style would be considered respectful, natural or gentle and you don't want to fall into the routines of your parents because well...that sucked!

You’re willing to accept what is biologically normal infant sleep while doing what you can to maximize your baby’s sleep.
Doing what’s best for your baby is THE priority and you want to confirm that what you've done so far is on the right track–and if not how to adjust to make that happen.
For the record I think you’re doing great because you’re here! By researching and taking the time to make sure this is the right place for you means you’re already on the right track. 👏

It’s true! When you find solutions to your family's struggles that align with your personal values and philosophies, your whole family will feel it. So yes! Your mental and physical health are important when it comes to your baby’s sleep.
When I became a parent myself and started researching baby sleep more and more I realized a terrible truth–the baby sleep world is unregulated and anyone can claim to be an expert and spread blame and misinformation around. 😱 So those people telling you to walk away from your baby when they are upset, to stop cuddling and loving on them because you’ll “spoil” them–they are misinforming you!
This class is a total of 47 minutes and you can return to it as often as needed, on demand.
I am confident that my course will work for your baby, because parents like you took the class and got the results they wanted.
Absolutely not! I am personally against cry-it-out and sleep training of any kind. It is not inline with current scientific evidence and the thought of leaving children to cry breaks my heart.
However this is not a no cry solution – I help you minimize crying as much as possible as well as understand and respond to cries with empathy and compassion.
This course is packed with the information and strategies that you need to insure that you do not lose more sleep on your way. We do this by arming you with a process that is designed to prevent losing sleep while you night wean.
Bottom line: Yes!
Many families do report that sleep dramatically improves after night weaning. However we mentioned above there are no magic solutions so if it doesn’t, reach out to us for additional help. We look at the root cause of wakes to help resolve them.
Every little one and their family is different so how long it takes varies and depends on your starting point, goal and pace. Most families reach their goal within 1 to 6 weeks of implementing these gentle strategies.
Our normal sleep guides are here to help you identify some realistic expecations regarding your toddler or baby's sleep.
