Newborn Sleep Shaping

Lack of sleep is one of the things parents talk about most after welcoming a newborn. While interrupted sleep is common during the early weeks, ongoing exhaustion does not have to be something you simply accept or suffer through. You do not have to navigate the challenges of newborn sleep alone, nor do you have to wait until you are completely depleted to seek support!

We provide healthy and sustainable sleep shaping support for babies from 6 to 20 weeks old. Our work is not about quick fixes or rigid schedules.This is not sleep training; it is the gentle process of establishing healthy sleep habits that create a strong foundation for your infant’s sleep routines in the months and years ahead.

This guided, structured process will help your baby develop consistent, age-appropriate sleep patterns while supporting their nervous system, emotional security, and overall development.

Our Approach:

We take a whole-child view of sleep. This means we assess and support:

  • Nervous system regulation
  • Feeding patterns
  • Developmental stage
  • Temperament and sensory needs
  • Attachment and family dynamics

Every plan is individualized and designed to be both effective and realistic for your home.

Our Process:

We have a proven 4-step process to determine the level of support, the needs of the infant and scheduling support. Once you choose your package:

  1. Sleep Reset Intake form: A log form to be completed by the parent to document the current sleep patterns
  2. Assessment & Consultation/In person Meeting: Review child’s sleep history, Identify root causes, evaluate routines and environment
  3. Your Personalized Plan: You will receive a customized sleep plan outlining step-by-step guidances, clear routines, and adjustments and practical tools.
  4. Scheduling support (in-person or virtual): Depending on what package you choose, support will be scheduled.

**Ongoing support is available to ensure progress continues and include:

  • Zoom consultations: $75 / 30 minutes
  • In-home day support: $350 (5 hours)
  • Unlimited text support: $350 / week

Bottom line:
We support your baby’s sleep which in turn also supports your well-being, helping you feel more rested, confident, connected, and able to enjoy this important season with your family.
