Our Happy Clients!
Hello Erica,
We want to thank you so much for your advice and assistance with the sleep training program.You customised a sleep training program that was best suited for our baby, it was a godsend.Within four days, we had our first night of full sleep in 10 months, and it just got better as the days went on.
It now only takes 2-3 minutes for our 10-month-old to fall asleep without needing to feed during the night and sleep right through.
Highly recommended.
Thank you!
Thanks Erica. The good news is that we had such a huge improvement with Isla’s sleep. She mostly sleeps through now or wakes and sooths herself back to sleep. If she can’t soothe herself, I at worst have gotten up once. I wasn’t ready to remove the dummy altogether so we put more rigor into the sleep associations. Sleeping bag, story time, finish bottle, dummy in, put her down awake. Place comforter monkey by her face and others that are bigger around her that she can access, and boof she goes down. Honesly I feel like I have had a vacation. I just wanted to thank you for being factual, for saying what we needed to hear and actually for giving us (me) the courage to do it.
Erica completely transformed our nights.
We went from waking up every single hour, exhausted and desperate, to a structured, peaceful routine where our baby now sleeps through.
Her gentle 3-minute method gave us so much confidence, and knowing she was there to support us made all the difference. We have our sanity back!

Frequently Asked Questions
Should we feed baby until she is drowsy, and should we feed before a nap or after?
When you feed a baby is not a problem. As long as you do not feed a baby until they are asleep, because this will become your baby’s sleep association.
When is a good time to introduce a bedtime routine?
By approximately 8 weeks of age (for a full-term baby) infants have the capacity to learn from repetition. This means they can learn that a bedtime routine ultimately leads to falling asleep.
What might a good bedtime routine entail?
Generally speaking, a bedtime routine should last about 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish. Dinner is not part of a bedtime routine and should be at least an hour before last bottle. Most babies it is effective to kick off a bedtime routine with closing the curtains and getting the night feed ready (if not breastfeeding) and then run the bath as babies love getting naked and taking a warm bath and find it enjoyable and relaxing. It is also a great way to transition from the daytime to the night-time. This routine may include a massage, getting the baby in his or her pajamas, reading or singing a song and feeding. The real key at this point is ensuring that your baby are not fully asleep by the time you put her down in her sleep environment to sleep. It is important that she put herself to sleep the last little bit.
When should a baby sleep through the night?
As you cannot prevent a human being from waking up at night, the problem is not waking up, but what needs to happen when baby is ready to go back to sleep. From around 16 weeks, babies have the ability to have uninterrupted sleep and link sleep cycles if all needs are met. Remember, for parents of preemies, they should calculate weeks old from their baby’s due date. A small percentage of babies at 4 months continue to need one-night feeding, but generally speaking, they should be able to consolidate their sleep into two long stretches with a feeding in the middle of the night.
Does it matter where a baby sleeps?
Yes, it does. To the extent possible it is best to have your baby sleeping flat on their backs in their beds. The more consistent you are about keeping your child’s sleeping environment the same, the more likely they are to take sleep easily in that place. Going down in a consistent, motion-free spot for sleep as much as possible sends cue to a baby’s brain sleep is to come.
Why is good quality sleep so important for a baby?
A baby’s brain is developing when they sleep. This is when growth hormones are releases and skills and abilities becomes memories. Also during this time the body and mind are restoring. If baby get too little sleep, they get very fussy and become easily over stimulated. There are many longterm negative effects associated with poor sleep habits during childhood.
What is an optimal sleep environment for a baby?
As melatonin, the sleep hormone, release in your body when your body comes into contact with darkness, it is helpful to ensure the sleep environment for baby is as dark as possible. The ideal room temp is between 19 and 22 degrees. A room that has been ventilated to ensure enough fresh air for the night has many benefits. White noise can assist with eliminating any sudden noises. Remove any mobiles or toys from the baby’s cot. This will over stimulate or confuse baby that it’s playtime as opposed to bedtime.
Does sleep training mean cry it out?
There are sleep training programmes and then is there Momslifeline Sleep Training programme. We believe in creating an environment that is positive to acquire the skill to learn how to fall asleep with emotional attachment to the parent. As it is difficult to change the current with the new, without some resistance in the form of crying from your baby, we never allow a baby to cry for longer than 3 minutes max without seeing, feeling or hearing their parents. Crying is normal for a baby as it is their communication with parents. It is what we do when they cry, that become the problem.
