We believe that healthy, independent sleep is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children and family.
As certified Paediatric Sleep Consultants under the Sleep Sense™ Program (established in the early 2000s and benefited over 100,000 young children worldwide), we guide parents in sleep training their babies and toddlers to sleep well and independently.
At Our Little Chicks Sleep Solutions, we believe that sleep is not a luxury — it’s essential to a child’s learning, mood, and development.
We believe that babies and toddlers are capable of learning how to fall asleep independently with the right support, timing, and consistency.
And we believe that parents deserve rest too — not just to get through the day, but to show up with presence, patience, and joy.
We get it — crying is hard to hear. One of the biggest reasons parents delay sleep training, or don’t ever do it, is the fear of tears.
It is important to remember this. Human beings are creatures of habit, and we are pretty protective over our sleep environment. We don’t like things changed. We all have our own ways that we like to get ourselves into sleep (eg a shower, pajamas, maybe socks, blanket etc). If one of the important elements in that is changed, we are likely to complain or protest against that.
Babies and toddlers are the same. When you implement a change in their sleep habits, even though it is for their own good and is important for them, they are likely to protest against it to some extent. And their only way to do so is to cry. So the crying is a protest against a change.
Let’s face it. In our parenthood journey, we will often face protest (crying) when we try to impose good habits eg brushing teeth, washing hands before a meal (sometimes even going to school is met with some protest). Often our little ones cry or protest against things which are good for them. That doesn’t mean that we let them go to bed with unbrushed teeth, eat with dirty hands, or stay home from school without a valid reason. Instead, we face the protest, and instill those good habits anyway. Because we’re parents and we gotta do what’s best for our kids.
Instilling good sleep habits is no different. We will probably have to encounter some protest, but the result is that our children get the sleep they need, which is important for their health and development.
So we cannot promise that there will be no protests during the sleep training process. But we can promise you that we will never ask you to leave your child alone to protest on their own.
