When Carters parents reached out to me, their little boy had never slept through the night. He was taking short naps, struggling to settle at bedtime, and waking up frequently. Both parents had demanding work schedules—Dad worked nights and Mum had long days—so sleep was crucial for everyone’s well-being and Carter’s growth.
The Situation:After I analyzed the intake form and did our one-hour consultation call, we discovered that Carter’s nap and bedtime routine were causing several issues. His nap schedule didn’t fit his age, causing him to miss those crucial “sleepy windows” that are key for restful sleep. This led to short and inconsistent naps, often taken in different places like the buggy or cot. His bedtime was also quite late, and given his short naps and frequent night wakings, he needed an earlier bedtime to help him catch up on rest. Carter had also become reliant on the bottle, especially in the early morning hours, creating a negative sleep association where feeding was essential for getting back to sleep. Additionally, he depended on rocking, patting, and the soother to fall asleep.
The Plan: To tackle these issues, we made the following changes:
The Outcome: After just two weeks, Carter was settling himself to sleep at both naptime and bedtime, taking long, restful naps, and getting 11-12 hours of sleep each night. The consistency and full nights’ sleep we achieved made a huge difference. Carter is happier, and his parents are finally getting the rest they need.
