Sleep Support For Babies

4-24 months

You Are Not Alone

"Should I let my baby cry it out, so she learns to sleep through the night?"

"Should I comfort him immediately when he fusses at 4am so we ALL get back to sleep ASAP?"

"If I put her to bed later, will she stop waking up at the crack of dawn?"

These are the questions that haunt you at 3am. And here's the truth: there's no single right answer that works for every baby and every family. This is why finding an answer that you feel good about online is so impossible.

If your baby seemed to be sleeping okay a few weeks ago and suddenly isn't—you're not doing anything wrong. If your baby has never been a consistent sleeper—you haven't ruined them. Truly.

Sleep in the first two years is constantly shifting. Just when you think you've figured it out, your baby hits a new developmental leap, drops a nap, or enters a sleep regression. It's exhausting and confusing—and it's also completely normal.

What you actually need to know about baby sleep

What you actually need to know about baby sleep 〰️

Here's what I want you to hear: sleep is not something we can force. It's a natural biological process that happens when babies are tired and feel safe and relaxed.

Baby sleep is always evolving. Around 4 months, your baby's sleep architecture matures—transitioning from newborn sleep patterns to something closer to adult sleep, cycling through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM. This is a developmental milestone, actually a good thing, but it can mean more brief wakings between sleep cycles.

Then around 7-10 months, just when things might be settling, another wave hits. Your baby is working on major motor skills (crawling, pulling up, cruising), experiencing separation anxiety, possibly teething, and maybe transitioning naps. Moving around is suddenly way more exciting than sleeping.

Honestly, you may see another rocky patch anytime your baby is working on a new skill or cognitive leap. These are all healthy, important parts of development—but they can temporarily disrupt sleep.

This is exactly why having consistent, healthy sleep foundations matters. When schedules are on point, routines are consistent, and parents are steady, you have something to anchor to even when everything else feels chaotic.

How I Work with Families in the Baby Stage

I meet you where you are—zero judgment, zero pressure to follow rigid schedules that don't match newborn biology.

The goal in these early months isn't to "fix" your baby's sleep (nothing is broken). The goal instead is to:

  • Build Realistic Expectations

    Understanding what's developmentally normal takes so much pressure off. When you know your baby isn't "supposed" to sleep through the night yet, you can stop blaming yourself.

  • Establish Gentle Rhythms

    We can't force a schedule, but we can create a flow to your days that supports your family and your baby’s development.

  • Create a foundation for healthy sleep habits.

    The choices you make now set the stage for smoother sleep as your baby develops. We focus on what matters: safe sleep, establishing a daily rhythm, connection, and protecting your own rest.

  • Support You

    Newborn sleep coaching is as much about the parents as it is about the baby. We address your stress, your recovery, your nervous system regulation, and how to get the support you need to survive this phase.
