Sleep
Gentle Pediatric Sleep Consulting
Your baby is exhausted. You are exhausted. And every sleep strategy you have tried has lasted about three days.
You are not doing it wrong.
Every parent in the new baby phase encounters some version of the sleep problem. Your baby will only sleep on you. Or in the car seat. Or while nursing. Or in forty-five minute cycles that leave you both chronically under-rested. You have read the books. You have joined the Facebook groups. You have tried the methods and watched them work for other people's babies while yours stares at the ceiling at 2am.
What gentle actually means.
Gentle sleep consulting does not mean letting things stay as they are indefinitely because any change is unkind. It means making changes in a way that is informed by your baby's developmental stage and temperament, and aligned with your values as a parent. It means not implementing a method that feels wrong in your gut. But it also means getting honest about what sustainable actually looks like, for your baby and for you.
When you are not sleeping, nobody is thriving.
I say this as a therapist and as a mom: chronically sleep-deprived parents are less patient, more anxious, more reactive, and less able to enjoy the experience they worked so hard for. Supporting your baby's sleep is not selfish. It is one of the most important things you can do for your family's wellbeing. A rested baby is more regulated, more curious, and more ready to connect with you.
How we work together.
We start with a thorough intake that looks at your baby's current sleep patterns, feeding, temperament, and your family's goals and limits. From there, we build a customized plan that takes all of that into account. Not a generic method off a website, but a strategy designed for your specific baby and your specific situation. I stay closely involved during the implementation phase because that is where things either stick or fall apart.
What you can realistically expect.
Most families see meaningful improvement within one to three weeks. Not perfection, because real life with babies is never perfect. But a structure that works, a baby who knows how to fall asleep independently, and a family that is getting consistent rest. We will troubleshoot as we go and adjust the plan if we need to. You are not alone in this process.
Imagine a new normal.
You put your baby down drowsy but awake, walk out of the room, and they settle. You have two, three, maybe four hours before the next feed. You sleep deeply during those hours. You wake up feeling like a different person, a person who can fully show up for their baby because they are no longer running on empty. That is what we are building toward.
