Susie will teach you several ways to support your little one during this process, so you maintain emotional connection. This is not about letting your little one cry-it-out, meaning closing the door, and seeing them in the morning.

One of the hardest parts of this process is crying. Your little one might even be crying now as you try and help them because they are overtired and just having a really hard time. The cries naturally pull on your heart strings, I know - mine too. 

When teaching your little one to sleep, the only way they know right now is with some kind of helping way, which they need again every single time they wake up because it’s how they fell asleep. So, yes, your little one is likely to be upset while you are supporting them. The frustration you hear is because your little one is not getting that same helping way that helped them to fall asleep in the first place. Change is hard.

Susie will not only guide you through several ways you can support your little one but she’ll also set you up with expectations for what this looks like, how long this will take, and encouraging signs to look out for.

Once your little one learns to fall asleep independently, returning to sleep (should they wake up again) will become much easier.

Susie will also talk about crying and development, so you can customize your plan that best fits your personal parenting style.

Every family is different - some like to jump all in and some like to go at a slower pace and just work on nighttime or even just the first 5 essentials of sleep to start. No matter what you choose to do, you will have the answers you're looking for in this program.

Yes. I have families that room share and use floor beds. That being said, for the best results, it's ideal if you commit to two weeks in different rooms. It can be much easier on your little one and you. Then once sleep is together, it’s a-ok to move back if you’d like to.

But that’s not everyone’s jam and that might not even be an option for some families. Susie will cover this in the program, and you will have all the updated information and clarification based on the American Academy of Pediatric recommendations.

And if you're in a one bedroom place, I recommend parents moving to the living room for the training period. Again, it will be so much easier on your babe and you if you do.

Yep. Sure can! … Especially if your pediatrician recommends it. Susie will guide you when the night feeding is best taken place and why...

You do want to think about transferring nighttime milk to daytime too if you’re feeding more than once in the night. Overall sleep can come together better when the night feeding is weaned out, when it’s not a need. But Susie will help you with this balance and remember it’s a-ok to keep a night feed too if that’s what you personally want to do.

If and when you are ready to reduce those night feeds, Susie will help you figure this out and have a plan for you to help overall sleep come together.

If your little one is older than 24 months, you can sign up for the Healthy Toddler Sleep and Bedtime Battles workshop and be the first to know when Susie hosts the next one.

You can also set up a one-one-consult with one of our certified pediatric sleep consultants that specialize in toddlers. 

The 2s+ may need a little more one-on-one support, as they transition into the “me” and “no” phase, push boundaries, skip naps, and manage many other bedtime battles. We take a positive parenting approach to help your little ones feel successful with their choices around bedtime.

Psst… Did you know that Susie is also a Certified Child Behavior Specialist? We've got your back!

I do not subscribe to a one size fits all approach. I take into account your little one’s age (hence the age-specific courses), what’s going on with sleep in relation to naps, pacifiers, night feeding/waking, etc., and make recommendations to help overall sleep come together.

It’s important to find the best way to support each baby's/toddler's sleep progress, while maintaining a strong and loving connection. I offer parents various options for helping their little one learn to sleep while providing plenty of love and support along the way.

Before any behavioral method is discussed, we always cover the importance of sleep hygiene. This is covered in the 5 Essentials to Sleep provided in your program.

If the HLS Online Blueprint doesn’t work for you, reach out to at [email protected], and let us know.

If you email us within 14 days of your purchase, we’ll refund your order in full. (Yes, we believe in this program and support THAT much.)

No!

While there can be some upset and frustration (this is about protesting a change), we don't require or recommend CIO for your baby to sleep through the night or develop healthy sleep habits. 

It's important for parents to understand their options and feel good about the choices and decisions they are making for their little one's sleep.

We want families to be able to choose something so both they and their baby can be successful - We will give recommendations as needed and will always give expectations for whichever behavioral method is chosen.

We often recommend families to age up. For example, if your little one is 6 months old, select the 7 to 11 month program.

And when you join the private community, you can let us know. You will still have all the relevant information you need for your little one's age - and then some.

We pride ourselves on getting you the support and advice you need before, during, and after sleep training.

This is not just about another online program.

We believe that support from Susie, her team of certified pediatric sleep consultants, and other like-minded parents is so so important.

That’s why you not only have the online program, but you get personalized guidance based on your family’s unique situation in our private Facebook group where Susie goes live and answers your questions (the best part in our opinion).

Yes! We've worked with hundreds of families who are trying to navigate daycare and sleep.

Whether it's starting daycare after sleep is together, already being in daycare and naps are short and your little is falling asleep in the car and is hard to wake up, or regardless of good/bad naps your little is still waking multiple times a night... We can help!

You will get access to each age-specific course for 6 months - by the time you reach 6 months, your baby will have moved on to the next age.

As long as you continue as a member in the private community, you will get access to the next age group. And you might not even need it because we're answering your questions along the way.

If you are no longer part of the private community, you can always purchase the next age group to help you along with the changes.

We want you to learn and watch at your own pace and revisit as needed. (That said, sharing your account with other families is a no-go, and will result in losing access to your account.)

There are a couple ways… 

Once you join the program, you will be taken to a page that automatically directs you to join our private Facebook group community.

Once you join, we will let you in after verifying your purchase of the program.

You will also receive an email following your purchase with a link to join the private Facebook group community.

** Make sure you check your junk mail and spam folders! You don’t want to miss our email.

You don’t have to, but we highly encourage it because that’s the bread and butter of supporting you and tweaking things here and there as you start your journey. 

This is where you can ask Susie questions, post your introduction, and get support from other moms and dads about their experience too.

Even if you’re just listening to the lives or hearing what others have to say that are in a similar situation, it can be so so helpful.

And you can even post anonymously.

Not to try and persuade you to be a part of the community, lol… You absolutely don’t have to join. But, we do love seeing you all in there! 💜

You will get immediate access to your age-specific program.

Once you join, you will be taken to a page where you can access your program (and also join the Facebook group community).

You will also receive an email with your login information.

**Make sure you check your junk mail and spam folders.

After completing the Healthy Little Sleeper's Online Blueprint, we know you'll have a baby that will be sleeping SO much better.

When you join the HLS Online Blueprint, we are there for you 100% of the way… And that’s why we can guarantee we can help you. 💜

While we try to get the most common questions cleared away, sometimes we miss things. Email us at [email protected], and we will answer your question and add it here :) I’m sure other parents will be wondering too.

Thanks! 💜
