Achieving YOUR Goals! Maintaining Nursing Relationship During Sleep Coaching
Does your pediatrician keep telling you that your " baby should be sleeping through the night" or maybe they say your "baby doesn't need to be feeding in the middle of the night"? When a pediatrician says these things it brings up loads of self doubt and more worries such as:
You are not sure what steps to take to get a baby to "sleep thru the night"
You are are worried about maintaining your nursing relationship while you try to night wean.
You love co-sleeping and/or room-sharing and you fear sleep coaching doesn't align with that
You are not alone!
Fear not, Sleep Coaching is possible while maintaining the nursing relationship and honoring YOUR family goals and values. Gentle Sleep Coaching is an alternative to cry it out method.
As my client Kamilla says: "not for a split second felt judged for anything" when sleep coaching with Joanna. "Joanna was very supportive of whatever it is we wanted to do."
Co-sleeping started off as a wonderful experience for my clients, Kamilla and Max, but by the time their son was 11 months it escalated into multiple wake-ups, nursing all night,and mom being tied to baby's schedule with no alone time. The pediatrician kept telling them he "should be sleeping" and that he did not need to feed throughout the night, but this couple wanted to maintain the nursing relationship and room-sharing when they reached out to Joanna.
This couple experienced a Total Family Sleep Transformation and are all reaping the benefits of lifelong healthy sleep habits!
Mom went from fearing the impact of sleep coaching to praising all the benefits: "It was just so eye-opening, I guess, to see my son figuring these things out and helping himself go to sleep. It was a really, really interesting and exciting journey. It's so worth it for your whole family. We didn't really realize or fully comprehend just how much sleep impacts everything."

Kamilla wants everyone to know
"Be open to sleep coaching. It's not this big, bad, scary thing. It's super important for people to understand that sleep coaching is not just someone telling you to go do this. You have a lot of input and the most important thing is that it's all customized. It's all about your child and what works best for them. You will start seeing all these things that Joanna tells you to look out for and when you see it and it's just like WHOA!"
