Frequently Asked Questions

Definitely not. I do not believe in, nor support, the "crying it out" method. I will never ask you to leave your child to cry alone for long periods of time, nor will I ask you to ignore their cries. The reason that my strategies are so effective is because you are able to develop a plan that you feel comfortable with, based on what you know about your child. However, please note that crying is your child’s way of protesting change, and you can expect that making changes to their sleep habits will result in some protest. That’s why I’m always sure to tell parents that my program will most likely involve at least some amount of protest on the child’s part.

Every child is different. While some children will have acquired new sleep skills in just a couple of days, others will take longer, depending on their age, character and environment etc. In most cases however, your child will have learnt sleeping independently and have acquired healthy sleep skills by the end of the 2 to 3 weeks of support.

We will of course take into account your child's sleep routine during the day. Naps are crucial.

A newborn baby’s needs are very specific in the sense that they need to feel you close to them, they need to be comforted and nurtured as much as possible. I will not teach your newborn to sleep through the night – this would not be natural. What I will be able to help you with is finding the right rhythm, installing the correct sleep environment and laying the fundaments for balanced sleep. In addition, as an alternative psychotherapist, I will help you as a parent navigate the new challenges you might be facing. Find out everything about my package for newborns here.

Yes! Definitely! Do not hesitate to contact me at christine@cdelune.com or via this website's contact form and we can talk about the details of sleep coaching siblings.

No. Your child needs to learn to sleep on his/her own. Staying in your bed would be too confusing for your child and would not encourage independent sleep.
