0–3 months
Newborns typically sleep 16 to 18 hours a day, but in short bursts of just 2 to 4 hours at a time. That means a lot of middle-of-the-night wake-ups for feeding, changing, and soothing. While this is completely normal, it leaves many new parents feel tired or exhausted.
Fun Fact: Newborns can’t produce a circadian rhythm until around 6-8 weeks, so round-the-clock wake-ups in the first few months are to be expected.
A certified sleep coach helps you make sense of newborn sleep patterns, including what’s normal, what to expect, and how to gently support healthy sleep habits from the very beginning.
From understanding wake windows to spotting early sleep cues, your sleep coach will help you make informed decisions about your newborn so you can stress less and rest more.
When newborn sleep feels unpredictable and exhaustion sets in, your certified sleep coach will offer calm, flexible guidance to help you and your baby get the rest you both deserve.
4–12 months
By the end of infancy, many babies start sleeping longer stretches, but night wakings are still common. Even at 12 months, 27% of babies wake during the night needing comfort or feeding. Most don’t consistently ‘sleep through the night’ until the end of this stage (or later) and occasional regressions are normal.
Fun Fact: Babies start to recognize bedtime routines by around 6 months, meaning the same lullaby, book, or nightly routine helps signal that it’s time for sleep.
Certified sleep coaches help your baby sleep longer and more peacefully with a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs and parenting style.
Whether you prefer a gentle sleep method like Fading or something more structured like the Ferber Method, your coach will guide you with approaches that align with your comfort level.
Get flexible, on-your-schedule help for everything from sleep regressions to nap transitions—because figuring it all out alone shouldn’t be the default.
1–2 years
Toddlers need 11–14 hours of sleep in 24 hours (plus a nap), but getting them to sleep at night can be tough. 25%regularly resist sleep with stalling, tantrums, or calling out after lights-out. As they assert independence and face separation anxiety, bedtime battles are normal at this stage.
Fun Fact: Fun Fact: Bedtime resistance is real! Toddlers commonly delay bedtime by 20+ minutes with clever stalling tactics like asking for water, hugs, or “just one more” story.
Turn tantrums, stalling, and power struggles into calmer nights with tools that work with—not against—your toddler’s developmental stage.
Whether you’re dropping a nap, handling a sleep regression, or dealing with early wake ups, your sleep coach is ready with expert strategies when things change.
Toddlers can have big feelings at bedtime. Your coach gives you strategies to soothe fears, ease separation anxiety, and end the night on a calm note.
3–6 years
Preschool-aged kids need 10–13 hours of sleep, but many stop napping by age 5, putting more pressure on night time rest. Without enough sleep, kids this age are more likely to struggle with focus, emotions, and behavior. Nightmares also peak at this time, affecting nearly half of preschoolers.
Fun Fact: Sleep fuels creativity—preschoolers who get enough sleep have been shown to score higher on problem-solving and language tests.
Preschoolers want control, but still need guidance. Your certified sleep coach helps you set age-appropriate boundaries while empowering your child to sleep on their own.
Big imaginations can lead to big bedtime fears. A sleep coach offers strategies to ease anxiety around monsters, darkness, and the unknown.
Preschoolers focus, learn, and manage emotions more easily when they’re well-rested. A sleep coach helps make sure sleep supports their growth, inside and outside of the classroom.
