Bottom Line

Speaker A (sleep consultant) is onboarding Speaker B and C (parents) for a 3-day intensive sleep training program starting tomorrow. The consultant will provide real-time, text-based coaching to help the parents establish a consistent sleep routine for their 5-month-old daughter.

Key Takeaways

Program Structure:: The consultant will provide continuous, nap-by-nap text support for 3 days, adjusting wake windows and timing based on the baby's cues.

Sleep Foundation:: The core goal is teaching the baby to place herself to sleep awake in the crib, without parental intervention, to build a foundation for connecting sleep cycles.

Parental Role:: Parents must be consistent, avoid rescuing naps, and trust the process, even through extended crying, as intervention can confuse the baby at this age.

Normalizing Struggle:: It's normal for babies to fight naps, cry for a full nap window (up to 1.5 hours), and have short sleep cycles (20-45 minutes) during the initial learning phase.

Text Speaker A 5 minutes before each scheduled nap and immediately after laying the baby down, and send video from the monitor if requested. — Speaker B
Avoid intervening during naps for at least 45 minutes unless specifically directed by Speaker A, to allow the baby time to self-soothe. — Speaker B & C
