No. First and foremost, I like to look at sleep holistically. There are so many areas that can dramatically improve sleep before we even touch on the actual settling method. I take into consideration your bub’s biological needs based on their age, their individual temperament, and your core parenting values, making any tweaks or changes to sleep hygiene as needed.

Only then do we implement further sleep training methods, if they’re required. And all of these are in-room strategies, specifically tailored to your unique circumstances.

Bed-sharing comes with a lot to unpack. There’s often an assumption that Sleep Consultants won’t support it. But if you’re making an educated decision to bed-share, and everyone sleeps better that way, I will absolutely support you.

There’s also reactive bed-sharing, where it’s not the goal or it’s not really working (no one is sleeping well) but it’s happening as a survival strategy when sleep is just plain impossible.

In these cases, it’s often not following safe bed-sharing practices or considering the known risks. My role is to make sure you know how to do it as safely as possible, and then let you make the educated decision, Mama Bear style.

When you’re ready!

I like to think of it more as Sleep Learning… it’s an ongoing process, not a one-and-done. Sleep learning is like self-care. It’s something that needs to be nurtured, and there isn’t really a “perfect” time, age, or stage.

The real power comes when you need to make changes and you’re ready for them. That’s when you invest in me, Tam, at Snuggle Bunny Sleep School. I’ll tailor a plan just for you, give you a good dose of confidence, and be your biggest cheerleader along the way. After all, I care about your sleep and your little buns’ sleep just as much as you do.

Firstly, it’s important to understand whether your sleep training goals are realistic and age-appropriate. I won’t sugar-coat things.. I’m always upfront about what you can realistically set out to achieve.

But if you follow your plan, take on board all my suggestions, and stay consistent throughout the support period, fully using the guidance and support from me… your bub’s sleep will improve, and your goals will be met.

Yes! I know things can feel a little challenging at the moment, so I’m 1000% happy to work out a payment plan or option that suits you.

I offer PayPal with the Pay in 4 option, but if you need another arrangement, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can email me at Tam@snugglebunnysleepschool@gmail.com and we’ll figure it out together.

You can head to my 1:1 Sleep Consults page and choose any consultation to be guided through the whole process for that specific service. I offer a range of consultations designed to suit the needs and preferences of all families.

If you’re unsure which one is right for you, book a free 15-minute chat and we’ll figure it out together.

No, Mama! You still need to live life, and your bub’s sleep has to fit around all the real-life stuff too. Yes, it helps if you can be a little flexible and move appointments around to favour naps where possible, but it’s 100% encouraged to keep doing the things you normally do.

I do recommend avoiding any sleepovers during this time, if you can, to help maintain consistency.

Support is usually through WhatsApp, where we can chat via messages or voice notes. I check in with you regularly throughout the support period, and you’ll be asked to fill out detailed logs every so often. These logs are a great way for me to really hone in on tailored suggestions and guidance.

I always remind mamas that the rest is in their hands… the support works best when you follow through with the check-ins and ask questions along the way.

Yes, but the amount depends on a few things and is different for each family and each bub. We all have unique temperaments and personalities to consider.

I also spend a lot of time talking about our mindset around sleep, because when we aren’t feeling confident or comfortable, it can make everything feel more intense.

That said, it’s completely normal for your bub to cry a little when they’re learning to sleep… it’s their main way of communicating.

Will I help you minimise crying where possible? Heck yes!

These things happen, and I’m 100% flexible if we need to pause support while your little one recovers. Just let me know, we’ll put things on hold and get back on track when your bub is feeling better.
