FAQS

I’ve heard that sleep training is just leaving a baby to cry hysterically on their own all night without returning, is that true?

Absolutely not. 

The Sleep Nurse will assess your babies individual needs and you will then decide on a settling technique together that you as a parent are comfortable with based on your parenting style. 

Like any new learnt skill i.e. rolling/ crawling/ starting solids, babies will show frustration and at times cry. Learning the new wonderful skill of sleeping well is no different.

The Sleep Nurse provides a range of settling and resettling methods that range from hands on (being in the room with your child, using touch/voice and sometimes cuddles) to leaving the room for small intervals at a time.

Will I be able to leave the house and go about my usual schedule while i’m making the routine changes recommended?

Ofcourse. In fact The Sleep Nurse actually encourages some sleeps to be done out and about on the go (if age appropriate). 

For the first few days at least, you are encouraged to prioritise the routine and sleep changes with full commitment and make arrangements around sleep times i.e. scheduling outings and activities outside of sleep times and being home well in advance to get ready for bed etc.

Things like daycare and work should go ahead as usual.

Is THE SLEEP NURSE RESET suitable for twins and siblings?

Twins are included in one reset program - Twice the fun we say!

For siblings, you will need to purchase 2 separate reset programs 

I am not living in Australia, can I still purchase a SLEEP NURSE RESET?

Yes! The Sleep Nurse works successfully with international clients.

There are various ways we can do the reset calls and check ins during a support period i.e whatsapp etc.

My baby is teething, can we still do the reset?

Yes. Babies teeth for about the first 2-3 years of their lives. This is unavoidable. With good sleep practices, teething pain can actually be reduced. 

Will my baby sleep better straight away? 

Results don’t happen overnight (excuse the pun!) but improvements (even small ones) should be seen within a few days and certainly within a week or two

Once I purchase a reset program can we start straight away?

Reset calls and 2 week support periods are able to begin within 1-3 weeks of purchase. Once you purchase your reset program, The Sleep Nurse will be in touch by the following business day to schedule a call/start and to provide you with intake forms in order to get an understanding of what is going on sleep wise for your child. 

I have more questions, can I speak to The Sleep Nurse prior to purchasing a reset?

Sure. Send a message through the contact page with your phone number and The Sleep Nurse will be in touch with you.
