Settling & Sleeping For Babies & Toddlers

Babybliss offers many different types of services to address sleeping and settling in young babies and children.

Jo has developed a gentle technique of assisting children to learn how to sleep on their own without needing any props or assistance from their parents.

Babybliss does not use Controlled Crying as a method of sleep training because we believe it is important for children to feel supported and safe when learning to put themselves to sleep, a skill they will have for their whole life.

Sleep Programs

Babybliss Three Night In-Home Sleep Management Program

We have a pretty perfect success rate with this sleep management program.

Jo prefers babies to be at least 6 months of age and eating solids three times a day before starting on this program.

What’s involved?

We will come to your home for three consecutive nights to teach your child to sleep through the night. Jo comes to your home before your child goes to bed at night so she can meet the child and interact with them. Then once the child goes to bed, Jo attends to the child during the night using the Babybliss Sleep Coaching technique. Parents are encouraged to get a good night’s sleep.

Each morning Jo reports back to the parents on what occurred during the night and her observations and expectations. Jo will also talk parents through what to expect during the day and how to deal with the daytime naps. Jo then leaves and returns again that night.

Once children learn to sleep well on their own they often sleep much better during the day, eat better and are generally happier when awake.

Time allocated for this program:

The time Jo spends at the family home is usually around 12 hours per night.

Customised Written Babybliss Sleep Management Program

Jo also has a very high success rate with this program but success very much depends on parent’s commitment and consistency.

What’s involved?

An initial long phone consultation to get the current 24 routine and full history.

Jo then writes a customised program for you and your child. This is sent to the parents via email.

All phone calls during implementation of the program to answer any questions or queries and for Jo to make any changes to the program.

Time allocated for this program:

Timing really depends on the age of the child and the ability to commit. Older children obviously take more time and previous history also must be taken into account, e.g. has the child been sleeping in their own bed etc.

However previous programs have taken anywhere from three days to 3 weeks to implement fully.
