# Sleep Consultant Onboards Parents for 3-Day Infant Sleep Training Program

**April 08, 2026 at 04:00 PM** · 16m 19s

### 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.

### Action Items
- [ ] Text Speaker A tomorrow morning at the baby's first feed (anytime from 4:30 AM their time) to begin the day's coaching. — @Speaker B `high` (due 2024-12-12)
- [ ] Follow the detailed nap/bedtime routine: check diaper, put on sleep suit, turn on sound machine, turn off lights, sway at crib for 15-30 seconds, and place baby down awake. — @Speaker B & C `high`
- [ ] 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 `high`
- [ ] 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 `high`
- [ ] Let Speaker A know the end time of the baby's last nap tonight if they want to get started with a consultant-timed bedtime and overnight plan. — @Speaker B `medium`
