Sleep Coaching
We offer a personalized sleep coaching service with our certified sleep consultant Louise. Louise has worked with hundreds of New Mummy Co parents to provide the tools and solutions to a wide variety of sleep issues.
To ensure the sleep coaching service is correct for you, we offer a free 15-minute zoom consultation with Louise. This allows you to discuss the sleep issues and ensure you are comfortable with our approach and working with Louise.
Tailored Sleep Plans To Match Your Schedule & Lifestyle
Our Sleep Coaching Program at The New Mummy Co is completely customized to your individual situation as there is no book or off-the-shelf sleep plan that will match your baby’s needs, your schedule, and your lifestyle exactly. We get to the root cause of a sleeping issue by discussing your specific situation and providing you with a plan which you are comfortable implementing.
Encouraging better sleep for your child does not need to be harsh. There are many techniques and options available depending on the age and temperament of your child. We do not offer formal sleep coaching for babies less than 4 months of age, but that doesn’t mean we can’t help to improve sleep. During the first months the New Mummy Co can assist with ensuring the sleep environment is right and help encourage positive sleep habits and sleep associations. If your baby is younger than 4 months a Night Nanny may be another option for respite to sleepless nights

What is Gentle Sleep Coaching?
- Are you woken multiple times per night by one or more children?
- Are you exhausted after spending hours rocking, wearing, or cuddling your baby to sleep?
- Has bedtime become a battle of wills that takes hours?
- Are naps nonexistent?
- Is your child taking up more space in your bed than you are?
- Are you aware that your child is sleep deprived but are unsure as to how to fix the problem?
Did you know that there are many options other than “Cry it Out” and “Wait it Out” that can drastically improve your baby’s sleep? It is true that the more direct methods can work well and faster than gentler methods, but only if you as the parent can follow through consistently and for long enough.
Our goal is to have as little crying as possible and to encourage parents to be loving and responsive, but also allow the child the room to learn this vital life skill of putting themselves to sleep. The parent responds and stays with their child and offers physical and verbal reassurance without putting the child to sleep. This method supports the development of a secure attachment between parent and child.
We will work with you to create an individualized, step-by-step sleep plan that will factor in your own parenting philosophy; your child’s age, health, and temperament; your well-being; and your family dynamics. Most importantly, we will support and coach you through the process from beginning to end for night sleep and the oh so important daytime naps!
Louise was lovely and very supportive as we worked on my son’s sleep issues. She met me where we were in terms of what we wanted to focus on and what I wanted to keep the same (focus on nights but keep naps as feeding to sleep/contact). Nights were so hard for us with wake ups every 1-2 hours all night long. Through starting with a more gentle and approach and them moving on to letting him have space allowed us to have what I think is as as little crying as possible, while being there to support our son through this big change.
