Frequently Asked Questions

Some crying is likely — not because the method is harsh, but because your baby is experiencing change. When we shift away from sleep habits like rocking or feeding to sleep, it’s normal for a baby to protest. Crying is how they express confusion or frustration when something familiar changes — not necessarily distress.

That said, I never ask parents to ignore their child’s needs or cry endlessly without support. My approach is grounded in emotional responsiveness, realistic expectations, and developmentally appropriate strategies. You’ll have a clear plan and real-time support to help you stay calm and consistent, so your baby can adjust confidently.

Crying may be part of the process — but trauma, confusion, and disconnection are not.

No. When done with consistency and emotional responsiveness, sleep training does not harm your baby or your attachment. Some crying is normal as babies adjust to new routines, but it doesn’t mean they’re distressed — it means they’re learning. I’ll help you support your baby through that change in a way that feels loving, respectful, and secure.
