Questions families ask
Most consultants work with babies from about 4 months. Before then, sleep is mostly about feeding and settling.
It depends on the consultant. Many offer gentler methods. Ask about their approach before you book.
Most work by video and messages, so location doesn’t matter. Some offer in-home or overnight visits locally.
Most families see a change in one to two weeks if they follow the plan consistently.
