Cry It Out is what gives sleep training. a bad reputation. It is essentially putting your baby to bed and then leaving it, no matter long it takes it to go to sleep and stop crying. We do not do this and if this is a route you would like to go down with your baby there is very little we can do to help you, other than support you. It’s not a technique we personally recommend but we appreciate it has its place in the sleep training industry.

We have lots of great testimonials but if you want to get to know Jess before committing, I can offer a free 15 minute consultation call to go through what issues you are experiencing and answer any questions about us that you may have and from there you can decide if you want to proceed with any of our packages.

This is a bit of an unanswerable question, it’s so dependent on the baby, how old the baby is, what sleep training technique you opt for and then the consistency your end. Sometimes just a few small tweaks to a routine can make a huge difference to sleep at night.

We can help you from birth. Although sleep training isn’t recommended until 6 months of age (gentle techniques can be implemented from 4 months), before that we can work on getting some good habits in place and helping you figure out when to implement a routine etc.

Absolutely. One of the reasons I set up The Sleepy Avocado was that I didn’t feel that there was enough information on sleep during pregnancy. The preparation courses really only covered birth which we felt was pretty out of our control anyway, whereas the education on sleep could have really helped once bub came along.

Sleep hygiene is essentially everything you can be doing around your little one to help improve their sleep. This would include their bedroom set up, using low lighting, nothing too stimulating etc.
