Part 1: The Prep

Module 1: Understanding Your Baby's Sleep

Foundational knowledge • Sleep cues

Wondering when your baby is ready for sleep training, or struggling to tell tired signs from overtired? This module covers how baby sleep cycles actually work, how to read your baby's unique cues, and how to prepare yourself emotionally for the journey ahead. It's the foundation that makes everything else click into place.

Module 2: Optimizing the Sleep Environment

Safe sleep • Sleep associations

Not sure if your baby's room is too hot, too cold, or set up in a way that's actually working against you? Here you'll learn exactly how to create a safe sleep setup, from ideal room temperature for baby to managing sleep associations that support (rather than sabotage) independent sleep. Small changes here often make a surprisingly big difference.

Module 3: Routines, Schedules & Feeding

Daily structure • Feeding guides

If you're googling "5 month old schedule" or battling early rising that's throwing off your whole day, this module is for you. You'll learn how to structure feeding schedules and daily routines that set up better nights, because what happens during the day shapes what happens after dark.

Part 2: The Plan

Module 4: The Night Sleep Plan

Sleep training methods • Night weaning

Ready to actually make changes but unsure which sleep training methods suit your family? This module walks you through the techniques step-by-step, including the soothe and support method and guidance on night weaning. You'll have a clear plan you can adapt to your baby and your comfort level.

Module 5: The Nap Training Plan

Nap extension • Nap transitions

Naps can feel like a completely different beast, short naps, fighting sleep, or wondering how to handle the 3 to 2 nap transition. This module shows you how to train baby to nap independently, extend those frustrating short naps, and navigate nap transitions without losing the progress you've made at night.

Module 6: Troubleshooting & Success

Regressions • Illness • Travel

What happens when sleep training setbacks pop up, teething, illness, travel, or sudden baby sleep problems you didn't expect? This module helps you troubleshoot the bumps, understand what's normal, and maintain your progress long-term. Because real life doesn't pause, and your plan shouldn't fall apart when it gets messy.
