Is Sleepy Little Bubs Sleep Training?
Our approach to infant and toddler sleep, clearly explained
One of the most common questions families ask before working with us is whether Sleepy Little Bubs is “sleep training”.
It’s a fair question, especially given how much confusion and misinformation exists around the term.
The short answer is yes, The Sleepy Little Bubs supports families with sleep training.
The longer and more important answer is that what sleep training looks like matters, and not all approaches are the same.
This page explains what sleep training means within The Sleepy Little Bubs, how our approach works, and what kind of support families can expect.
What does sleep training mean at Sleepy Little Bubs?
At The Sleepy Little Bubs, sleep training means supporting sleep in a structured, age-appropriate, and realistic way, based on how sleep actually develops.
Sleep training within our approach may involve:
Creating routines that support healthy sleep pressure
Adjusting nap timing and bedtime
Supporting longer, more settled stretches of sleep
Changing how sleep support is offered when current patterns are no longer sustainable
Responding to sleep disruptions with clarity rather than guesswork
Sleep training is not a single method or rigid formula. It is an ongoing process that evolves as your child grows.
This is explored more deeply in what is sleep training, which breaks down what sleep training does and does not involve.
What The Sleepy Little Bubs sleep training is not
The Sleepy Little Bubs does not take a one-size-fits-all approach to sleep.
Our support is not about:
Ignoring your child’s needs
Expecting perfect sleep every night
Applying the same strategy to every family
Treating sleep as something that should never change
Sleep is dynamic. It shifts with development, regressions, illness, nap transitions, and emotional growth. Our role is to help families understand those changes and respond with confidence.
How our approach supports different ages
Sleep support looks very different depending on your child’s age and stage.
For younger babies, support often focuses on:
Education around normal sleep development
Establishing predictable routines
Supporting appropriate awake windows
Navigating stages like the 4 month sleep regression
For older babies, sleep training may involve:
Consistent routines such as the 6 month sleep routine or 8–10 month sleep routine
Adjusting how settling support is offered
Navigating regressions like the 8–10 month sleep regression or 12 month sleep regression
For toddlers, sleep support expands to include:
Emotional development and separation anxiety
Managing bedtime battles
Supporting fears, regressions, and boundary testing
This is why age-specific guidance is essential.

Is Sleepy Little Bubs right if I’m unsure about sleep training?
Many families who work with Sleepy Little Bubs feel unsure or overwhelmed when they first reach out. That hesitation is completely normal.
Sleep training within our approach is never about forcing change before you’re ready. It is about:
Understanding what is happening with your child’s sleep
Knowing what is normal and what may need adjustment
Having clear options rather than conflicting advice
If you are unsure when sleep training should begin, when to start sleep training walks through readiness signs and what support looks like at different stages.
How families work with Sleepy Little Bubs
Sleepy Little Bubs offers both education-based support and personalised guidance, depending on what families need.
Some families prefer structured learning through:
5–24 Month Infant Course for ongoing infant sleep support
Infant and Toddler Bundle for long-term guidance across multiple stages
2–4 Year Toddler Course for toddler sleep, including routines, fears, regressions, and behaviour
Others prefer individual support through:
Sleep consultations, where families receive personalised guidance tailored to their child, routine, and sleep challenges
Both options are designed to give families clarity, confidence, and practical steps forward.
There is no single "right" way to support sleep
Sleepy Little Bubs does not believe there is only one correct way to approach sleep.
What matters most is that:
Sleep feels manageable for your family
Support matches your child’s development
You feel confident in what you’re doing and why
Sleep training is not about perfection. It is about creating sleep that works for your family now, and adapting as your child grows.
Looking ahead
Sleep will continue to change through infancy, toddlerhood, and beyond. Having support that grows with your child removes much of the pressure to “get it right” the first time.
Whether you choose a course or a consultation, Sleepy Little Bubs is here to support you through every stage of sleep development.
The Smarter Way to Invest in Better Sleep
Supporting sleep doesn’t have to mean starting over every time something changes.
Our sleep courses are built to support you long term, with age specific guidance that adapts as your child grows. From early routines and regressions to nap transitions and toddler sleep challenges, you’ll have a clear plan and ongoing support so you can respond with confidence at every stage.
