Is sleep training right for my child?
Parents often worry that sleep training may harm their child or the parent-child relationship, with social media sometimes shaming those who choose it.
At Time to Sleep, we are trained sleep practitioners with healthcare backgrounds, and the latest research shows no evidence that sleep training harms babies. In fact, studies show no negative effects on children or the parent-child bond, even years later. Sleep training offers numerous benefits, including better rest for the whole family, improved health and wellbeing and school performance.
A common misconception is that sleep training involves leaving a child to cry for long periods. However, our gentle approach ensures a method that suits both you and your child.
If you’re unsure whether sleep training is right for your family, contact us for a free 15-minute consultation. We're here to help.

Will I need to leave my child to cry?
While we do not usually recommend the ‘cry-it-out’ method, sleep training involves making changes to your child’s routine at bedtime, which can involve some crying and protests. However, all our recommended methods are tailored to your child’s individual needs and are based on evidence-based interventions. Our assessment includes questions about your child’s temperament which will help us to determine the right sleep training programme to meet your child’s needs
