When to Consider Sleep Coaching: Is It Suitable for Every Family?

Sleep is the cornerstone of health and well-being for both children and parents. When families face constant sleep challenges, sleep coaching can offer a gentle, customized solution to help everyone get the rest they need. 

When can you consider sleep coaching, and is it a suitable fit for every household?

When to Start Sleep Coaching

Parents often wonder when it's the right time to begin addressing their child’s sleep concerns. While newborns cannot undergo structured sleep coaching before the 4-month sleep regression, you can still create healthy sleep foundations during those early months. 

For babies starting 5 months+ , sleep coaching becomes a more structured process, and attainable. 

Some signs that sleep coaching might be your answer to your sleepless nights include:

  • Frequent night wakings: 

    • Your child is waking up multiple times at night and struggles to settle back to sleep. 

    • It is still normal for babies to wake up for some feeds (number depends on age).

    • If this happens regularly and very frequently, then your child might need support to provide a better quality of sleep.

  • Difficulty falling asleep: Long bedtime routines 

  • Inconsistent naps: Daytime sleep is irregular, leading to an overtired and cranky little one.

  • Parental exhaustion: When parents feel overwhelmed by sleep struggles, it’s a sign that expert guidance could help, because this could impact their functionality, mental health, and the quality of their relationship with their child.



Is Sleep Coaching for Every Family?

Sleep coaching is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every child is unique, and so is every family’s situation. For some, small adjustments to their current routine may be enough to make a big difference. For others, more comprehensive support is needed. Sleep coaching works best when it is tailored to fit your child’s personality, developmental stage, and your household’s needs and values.

It’s also important to remember that sleep coaching is a collaborative process. Families who are ready to make changes, stay consistent, and communicate openly tend to see the best results.

However, families, who prefer to continue to bed share or who don't have a specific struggle that they want to change, sleep coaching might not be a suitable fit for them.
