Sleep Coaching Rooted in Connection
Rhythm-Based, Nervous System–Informed Guidance
Sleep in early infancy is developmental, not behavioral.
Feeding patterns, nervous system regulation, maternal recovery, and environmental rhythm all influence sleep.
Sleep support at MotherPoppins addresses these interconnected systems not just night wakings.
This is structured, evidence-informed guidance designed to create steadiness for both baby and mother.
A Different Kind of Sleep Support
Sleep is not isolated from:
• Feeding efficiency
• Caloric intake
• Growth patterns
• Nervous system regulation
• Maternal depletion
• Daytime stimulation
Rather than applying rigid schedules or behavioral extinction methods, I assess the full postpartum picture and guide families toward developmentally appropriate rhythms.
This is not cry-it-out training.
It is regulated, responsive, structured support.
What You Won’t Find Here:
Cry-it-out or "sleep training" that involves prolonged crying
Rigid nap schedules that ignore your baby’s cues
Pressure to night-wean before you or your baby are ready
Disrupting breastfeeding or bottle-feeding relationships for the sake of “independent sleep”
What You Will Find:
Gentle support that protects your baby’s nervous system
Approaches that align with your values, intuition, and attachment goals
Sleep education rooted in science and real-life parenting
A compassionate partner in your parenting journey
Frequent night waking

When to Seek Sleep Guidance
You may benefit from structured sleep support if:
• Night wakings feel excessive or escalating
• Feeding and sleep feel misaligned
• Daytime fussiness is increasing
• You feel depleted and unsure how to adjust rhythms
• Transitions (swaddles, bassinets, daycare) are approaching
Early adjustments prevent long-term disruption.

We don’t rely on a single approach. We use our years of baby care experience to evaluate your child’s needs, taking into account your parenting style and goals to find the best way to support you. Together, we’ll navigate this journey, and you can feel confident knowing you’ve chosen a skilled, qualified resource to help your family achieve better sleep in a way that feels right for you.

There are various interpretations of “cry it out,” often described as putting a baby to sleep and leaving them in their sleep space until morning. However, this approach is not recommended. Supporting a child through this transition is important, as is considering the parents' comfort level.
Sleep goals and strategies differ for each family, and the consultant is committed to helping little ones learn healthy sleep habits through tailored methods. It's essential to remember that when implementing any change, a baby may cry as they adjust and learn. Parents can feel reassured that they will receive guidance and support throughout the process, and together, they can choose a method that feels right for their family as they work towards achieving better sleep.

There’s no minimum age!
I work with families from the newborn stage through toddlerhood. Sleep is a developmental process that changes over time, and support can look different depending on your baby’s age and needs.For newborns (0–4 months), we focus on setting up a calming rhythm, understanding biological sleep patterns, and supporting feeding and bonding.
From 4–18 months, we gently address challenges like frequent waking, short naps, or bedtime resistance—without using cry-it-out.
For toddlers (18+ months), we explore transitions, boundaries, and emotional regulation in age-appropriate ways.
No matter your baby’s age, we’ll create a plan that aligns with your values, protects your feeding relationship, and supports your whole family’s well-being.

Not quite—and that’s okay.
Newborns (0–3 months) aren’t developmentally ready for sleep training. Their sleep cycles are still maturing, and their need for frequent feeding, comfort, and closeness is biologically normal and protective.
But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck or powerless.
What we can do is support:
Soothing sleep environments
Feeding rhythms that protect supply and support rest
Nervous system regulation for both baby and parent
Gentle ways to encourage more consistent sleep—without ignoring your baby’s needs
I work with newborn families to build sustainable habits and realistic expectations—no cry-it-out, no rigid schedules, and no pressure. Just grounded, nurturing support that grows with your baby.
