“I've created bad habits”
Who hasn't been told that they're “creating bad sleep associations”? But honestly – a baby who wants to sleep on you or nurse to sleep is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing.
“I don't feel like myself anymore”
The exhaustion, the constant stress, the dread of every single bedtime, brought you to your limit. You're depleted and out of patience. But it doesn't have to stay this way.
“He never sleeps more than 30 minutes”
Short naps and frequent wake-ups (day & night) are incredibly frustrating. Getting the routine dialled in can make a world of difference.
“My partner and I can't agree”
One of you is desperate and ready to cry-it-out. The other is just can't do it. That tension between you is exhausting on its own. What if there was another way?
“We've tried everything!”
When parents say this to me, I know they're beyond exhausted. But often, what they've tried just wasn't the right fit for their baby.
If you read this and thought “that's me” at least once – I want you to know there is another way.
