Do your methods include traditional sleep training or cry it out methods?

No. We take a holistic approach to sleep & do not focus on "training" a baby or toddler to sleep. We focus on ensuring the foundations are in place (helping you to figure out your child's unique sleep needs for optimal sleep), helping you understand normal infant sleep & development & make changes to things that are no longer working for your family or child. However, we do NOT offer a no cry sleep solution if you are hoping to making bigger changes, emotions are a healthy & normal part of attachment as long as they are supported. There is a huge difference between supporting your child through change & closing a door on tears. We focus on building a secure attachment & helping families understand how supporting our children's emotions plays into that.

Can you make any guarantees around how my child will be sleeping after working together?

No. I wish I could, but when we are taking a holistic approach to sleep & working with human beings with different temperaments & needs there are no guarantees. Often sleep trainers will make promises around having your child sleeping X amount of hours straight after X amount of time because they are using separation & a behaviorist approach to achieve certain results which is something I will not focus on while taking an attachment & developmentalist based approach. Taking a gentle approach is not a quick fix & I do not make promises around infants or toddlers sleeping 12 hours straight in 2 weeks. The information you gain from these courses & webinar will set you on the path to get 10-12 hours straight when your child is actually capable of doing so.

Do you offer payment plans for your 1:1 services?

Yes! We like to ensure that families can get the help they need without feeling the need to sleep train. To learn more about payment plan options, please reach out via email at Alicia@dyshonfamilysleep.com
