First of all… WAKE UP! I know you’re nodding off as you read this, running on three hours of sleep.

But if you pay attention, this might be one of your LAST sleepless nights — if you decide that a baby sleep consultant is the missing link in your family.

I’m here to guide you through what to expect from a baby sleep consultant, the essential skills to look for, and why the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting is crème de la crème of baby sleep consultancy.

 

What to Expect from a Baby Sleep Consultant #1: Educational Excellence

It can sometimes feel like the sleep of your baby is an unsolvable riddle that slowly deteriorates your sanity.

An experienced and properly educated consultant — one with credentials from acclaimed programs — can be the difference between ongoing sleep struggles and peaceful nights.

Baby sleep consultants are well-versed in the science of sleep and keep themselves updated on the latest research and practices.

A good consultant should be able to assist you with understanding the complexities of your baby’s sleep and be able to explain what sleep has to do with development.

Institutions like the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting offer a rigorous curriculum that covers a range of subjects, from sleep biology to creating personalized sleep plans. Check it out here!

 

What to Expect #2: Experience Beyond the Classroom

Unlike in the textbooks, no two babies are alike — which means that practical, hands-on experience is ESSENTIAL. The best baby sleep consultants have worked with a diverse range of families and children and have the testimonials and success stories to prove it.

Joining a supportive community can offer both a network of clients and seasoned consultants to learn from.

We have HUNDREDS of incredible students who have graduated from our programs and are out in the world changing lives.

What to Expect #3: Communication, Patience, and Empathy

A baby sleep consultant is more than just an expert.

They are a confidant, a cheerleader, and a support system.

They guide parents through one of the most challenging and vulnerable periods of raising children. Effective communication, never-ending patience, and genuine empathy are essential traits that set the best apart from the rest.

In a field where exhaustion often leads to “big emotions”, a great consultant remains calm and collected, ready to adapt and cater to the individual needs and parenting styles that walk through their door (or, these days, their virtual door).
