• RHYTHM - Your baby’s circadian
rhythms are not established until 4
months so the notion of making them
sleep through the night in the early
weeks and months is just not possible
or logical.
• INTERVALS – Newborn babies wake
every 2-3 hours to feed because their
stomach’s can only hold a small amount
of milk so they need to feed little and
often.
• KNOWLEDGE - The most powerful
starting point in sleep coaching (rather
than sleep training) is the
understanding of normal infant sleep
patterns and how you can work with
them to make sure you all get what you
need.
