Partner with Sleep Joy to get your child and home back to sleep.
With all of the information that’s readily available online, and the resources you have at your disposal in the form of friends and family who have managed to get their kids to sleep, why would you want to invite a virtual stranger into your home to get your child sleeping through the night?
I don’t often hear this question phrased exactly that way, but I know it’s a concern that a lot of parents have when they’re thinking about getting some professional help with their little ones’ sleep habits.
And it’s a valid question! After all, your mother managed to get you to sleep at some point. Your friend might have four kids who are all champion sleepers, so she should have some answers for you, right?
Well, yes! At least they might. But then again, they might not.
My clients are sleep-deprived parents who have already read several sleep books, tried an online sleeping program, bought all the sleep gadgets, heeded their friend’s advice… and found it wasn’t successful for their baby or toddler and they are even more frustrated and can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel.
The biggest reason why the solutions that work for one parent don’t work for another is simple: they’re not dealing with the same child and sleep training is not a “one size fits all” approach.
Some babies are heavily reliant on sleep props, such as pacifiers or being rocked to sleep. Others can’t sleep in a room that’s too warm or too cold. Some may not be getting enough daytime sleep, and others may be getting too much. Some may be getting too many feedings in a day that cause irregular sleep patterns. A baby might have developed an association between feeding and falling asleep and has become a “snack and snoozer” where they eat a little and sleep a little all day and night. One might be ready to drop a daytime nap. A young toddler may have multiple caretakers during the week so expectations around sleep and eating are different each day and the inconsistency can’t get him on a regular and predictable schedule.
Sleep training also entails many other factors beyond sleep itself.
Some believe in “crying it out” and some don’t. Some have a spouse who is heavily involved in sleep training and some don’t. Some want their baby sleeping in their room until 6 months of age and some want your baby in their crib in their own room from day one. Some have their young kids sharing a room and some have kids in separate rooms. The list goes on and on.
And, of course, it could be any combination of all of the above, or the many other sleep challenges that babies and young children might experience.
Adding to the challenge is the fact that most solutions don’t work overnight, so parents might try a solution that could potentially help baby start sleeping through the night but abandon it before it takes effect due to some heavy protesting on baby’s part.
In short, sleep is a complicated issue and there’s very rarely one single thing that can remedy the situation overnight.
So let’s stop comparing with others and focus on your sleep needs within your own environment that compliments your parenting style.
So now that you’re not going to compare anymore (hooray and what a load off!), how do you identify your parenting style, understand your baby’s ideal sleep environment and figure out your child’s sleep needs?
SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT IS IN SIGHT. SLEEP JOY IS YOUR EXPERT PEDIATRIC SLEEP CONSULTANT.
North Carolina Sleep Joy mom graduate, Whitney, exclaimed, “I didn’t know that alongside an amazing sleep training coaching, I would get a ‘baby life’ coach! Best money we’ve ever spent!”
Missouri Sleep Joy mom graduate, Hilary, expressed, "Adrienne is SO genuine! She is so passionate about what she does and extremely knowledgeable. She cared a lot about Reed and his sleep, but she also cared a lot about everyone in our house. She asked a lot of questions about how the lack of sleep affected Reed, but just as many questions were about how the lack of sleep affected me, our family, our marriage, and everything in-between. Her care and concern for everyone was the reason I hired her. In our first meeting together, she referred to herself as being a "third parent" during our two weeks together, and it really felt like that! It was worth every darn penny!"
American military dad (stationed in Moldova- Eastern Europe) shared, “The results speak for themselves... but Sleep Joy didn’t just provide results, we learned a great deal about our dear little one and how to better provide for her needs. That’s pretty valuable. Furthermore, Adrienne did all of that without judgement, condescension, and all the support of a fun long-time friend. What helped to push me over the initial edge of hesitation was the first call to assess whether the partnership was right. It proved to me that Sleep Joy isn’t selling you a product, Sleep Joy provides a solution, your solution. If you’re like I was and hesitating, all you are doing is losing time.”
At Sleep Joy, we take a holistic view of your child, parenting style and environment to give you a customized sleep plan that will be effective for your child and give you peace of mind in the process. Our mission is help parents teach their newborns, babies and toddlers independent sleep skills with a gentle approach that yields long-lasting results.
As a nationally certified Sleep Sense™ pediatric sleep consultant, Sleep Joy has the experience and training to recognize which problems result in specific symptoms and can work with you to develop a personalized plan for your child that addresses those individual issues. We can also provide some much-needed support in real time when things don’t seem to be working and give you the encouragement you need to follow through on that plan until it starts to work. And along the way, you’re learning your child and how to respond to their needs versus react to their cries. Sleep Joy takes the guessing game out of sleep training and provides an intentional strategy with continuous support as we teach your baby to sleep through the night and take great naps too!
Consider the example of a personal trainer. You could just get some dumbbells and watch some YouTube videos in order to get in shape, so why pay someone to guide you along?
Well, because they’re able to give you solid advice based on education and experience, they can help to keep you motivated, and they know how to respond to the problems that might arise when it comes to your specific situation.
So when it comes to child’s sleep, I hope for everyone to find success with as few problems as possible. But if that doesn’t happen for you, Sleep Joy has the experience and support you need. Sleeping through the night is in sight with Sleep Joy.
