Have you ever hired a personal trainer, or even thought about hiring a personal trainer? Well, hiring a sleep consultant is very similar to that. I mean, at the root of weight loss, we all get it, right? We all know we need to eat less calories, we need to exercise more. But for whatever reason, it’s very hard to hold ourselves to these commitments. It’s very hard to figure out a plan where there’s all this information, and a lot of the information conflicts. Some says eat carbs, some say don’t eat carbs, some say fat, some say no fat. I mean, it’s a minefield of conflicting advice, when you go into the weight loss world.

And so to smooth this out, a lot of people hire a professional. You just tell me what to do, you tell me how to do it, you customize a plan specifically for me, and then you hold me accountable to the plan. You check in on me, you answer my questions, you support me through this process. And for a lot of people, that’s what it takes to get to success.

I’ve done it, for sure, in my life. I see the value in hiring a professional.

So when it comes to sleep, we’ve got a similar problem. There is a ton of advice. Your best friend’s got advice, the doctor’s got advice, the stranger in the grocery store has advice. Everyone has advice about how to get a baby to sleep. You go online, oof, you’re bombarded with advice. Bookstores, same thing. All kinds of books about baby sleep, and a lot of it says very contradicting info, right? Let your child cry, never let your child cry, she should be napping, she shouldn’t be napping.

All of these things can just leave moms and parents feeling like, what should I do, what the heck should I do? And a lot of times you just get super-overwhelmed by it all, and you end up doing nothing.

So let me tell you something. If you hire a professional, and you can hire a sleep consultant. We have hundreds of Sleep Sense consultants all around the globe that are just ready to see if they’re a good fit for you. So it follows the same premise. They’ll help you customize a plan that’s specifically for your child and your child’s age. They’re gonna listen to all of your concerns, the things you’ve tried, the things you haven’t tried, what are you worried, about, what are you excited about, all the of the things that you need to have in place to really commit to a plan and stick to a plan and make a plan work.

So not only are they gonna help you figure out that piece, but they’re gonna hold you accountable, which is a huge part of this, because you’re making change, right? And we all know that change is hard. Doesn’t matter if it’s for the better. It’s still hard.

So they’re going to be with you every step of the way, checking in with you via phone calls and emails, and answering questions along the way, tweaking the plan if necessary, because this isn’t cookie cutter. You can use the Sleep Sense Program. Absolutely, this is gonna work for a lot of parents. But your specific child might have something that’s just not fitting in with the norm of the Sleep Sense Program, or you have questions in there that you can’t find answers to, or it’s just not working the way that you thought it would. Hiring somebody, hiring a professional to help you through and navigate all this information is gonna be really worth your while, so I hope you will consider it.

Thanks so much for watching today. Sleep well!
