Frequently Asked Questions

Our Baby Sleep Programs

We are wanting to improve sleep, what methods do you use?

While I understand firsthand that as parents you have your own parenting ethos and preferences when it comes to settling, I am a prime example of how sometimes my own wishes don’t necessarily suit that of my baby. When she was younger, I would be rocking her and providing her hands on settling hour upon hour, relentlessly trying to implement a method that suited me. Little did I know Millie needed a hands-off approach, and for this reason we offer the entire spectrum of settling techniques. From gradual hands-on approaches, through to out of room, modern options. The techniques are not only personalised to you, but also taking into consideration your little one’s temperament.

What is the Sleepy Little Bubs approach?

I take a very holistic approach to your sleep situation and have embedded this philosophy into The Sleepy Little Bubs. All our clients are required to complete a comprehensive intake form detailing their current situation including topics such as sleep environment, naps, feeding, current settling techniques, expectations, parental preferences and lifestyle. After thoroughly reading through the information, we create a personalised sleep plan with our recommendations. The initial 1hr chat is designed to answer any questions you may have, make any adjustments as needed and ensure that as your sleep consultant we are on the same page as what you wish to implement and achieve. When everything has been signed off by you, we are there to guide you every step of the way as you implement the recommended changes.

When will my baby sleep through the night?

The important thing is to understand is that the scientific definition of “sleeping through the night” refers to 6-8hrs without needing a feed, from a physiological perspective many full-term babies with a healthy weight can achieve this by 6 months. However, it is not until 9-10 months that many babies can achieve 11-12hrs overnight without needing a feed and in most cases breastfed babies are known to feed once overnight until 12 months of age.

Once we start, how quickly can I anticipate seeing results?

This answer can be so variable as it does depend on the settling technique, your baby’s development, age, and temperament. In most cases, parents will see results within 1-2 weeks of working with us and implementing the recommendations.

How do I know which of your support packages are right for me?

If you have read our support options but are still unsure on which option is right for you, our discovery call is a great place to start. After filling out the comprehensive intake form we will go through the details with you and make recommendations that suit what you are wishing to achieve, time frame and any variables that we may need to take into consideration with the approach we take.

Will you provide us with information that is different to your social media account?

Absolutely, the information that we provide our clients is tailored to their individual needs and situation ensuring they align to the goals they wish to achieve. There is no one size fits all method.

How do I know if you are right for me?

I was sitting exactly where you are now, filtering from one sleep page to the next. Baby MUST sleep two hours for lunch nap. They MUST feed every 3-4hrs. Eat, play, sleep!! Reflecting on these expectations now, I understand where my anxiety stemmed from as a new parent being consistently exposed to these unrealistic expectations and feeling like a failing parent because we were not achieving them.
