Getting Started | Infant

Toronto Infant Sleep Consultant

Hi there!
I’m excited to start and helping your family find rest.
Please use the following guide to get ready for our consultation.

Night 1 Preparation

Here are some essential things you’ll need to do on the day we start together to ensure success for our night 1!

Naps are a priority so your child isn’t overtired (any way you can get them–all sleep props allowed)
Increase feedings during the day
Bedtime will be between 7/730–make sure that your child isn’t sleeping too close to bedtime.
- 4-5MO–wake 2 hours before bed
- 7-12MO–wake 3 hours before bed
- 12-24 months 3-4 hours before bed
Try not to skip naps, especially before bed, may make bedtime more challenging
Try to get rest yourself!
Think about easy/ takeout dinner/ delivery if possible (who knows if you’ll have time to cook). Make it easy on yourself!
You should prepare to go to bed early as sleep don’t know how many times baby will wake up and a rested mama and papa can deal with wake ups better 🙂

Things to do/obtain before our consultation

White noise machine–continuous play | Homedics is inexpensive and good, but I highly recommend the Hatch Baby Rest – it’s incredible!
Blackout curtains/garbage bags for the window | This trim at home shade is excellent. Gro blinds (or the Amazon knock off) are good too and garbage bags if baby can’t reach and touch them.
Remove mobile/crib toys
Buy sleep sacks | Gro Bags are my favourites
Make sure everyone’s cell phones are charged (for communication during the process)
