Attachement Focused Sleep Consulting

As a new parent, the biggest challenge that you may be facing is getting adequate rest. As you search the internet for sleep tips, some of the information and techniques that you come across might not feel like the right fit.

In 2018, after years of feeling pressured to "sleep train" Sheri began to look for solutions that felt more aligned with her values. This led her to join Lauren Heffernan who created an attachment focused approach to sleep consulting, and since then, Sheri has helped hundreds of family's around the world achieve more sleep without the use of behaviour based techniques (cry it out).

What is Attachment-Focused Sleep Consulting?

Attachment-Focused Sleep Consulting is a proven method that helps babies develop healthy sleep patterns through science and natural development. It is a gentle approach that focuses on creating a secure attachment between the baby and the parent. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing relationships, which results in better sleep for the baby and the parent.

Sheri's approach is attachment-focused and encourages a gentle and mindful way of nurturing your baby. Instead of sleep training, the focus is on a more holistic and adaptive approach that accommodates the baby's needs. Consultations prioritize attachment and respond to the baby's communication signals through a personalized program.

How Does Attachment-Focused Sleep Consulting Work?

Attachment-focused sleep consulting follows a three-step process that begins with an initial assessment. This involves an in-depth analysis of the baby's sleeping patterns, habits, and behaviours. Sheri then provides customized advice based on the assessment.

The second step involves developing a personalized plan based on the baby's needs and the parent's preferences. The plan is a collaboration between Sheri and the parents to ensure that the approach is tailored to the baby's unique needs.

The third step is the implementation phase, where the parents put the plan into action. Throughout the implementation phase, the consultant maintains regular contact with the parents to monitor progress, provide ongoing support and make adjustments where needed.

What Are The Benefits of Attachment-Focused Sleep Consulting?

Attachment-focused sleep consulting has several benefits. It provides a gentle approach that prioritizes the baby's needs, while at the same time providing an opportunity for parents to get the rest that they need.

By prioritizing attachment and nurturing relationships, the baby develops a sense of safety and trust, which helps them establish a healthy sleep pattern. The secure attachment also results in better emotional regulation, improved cognitive development, and an enhanced bond between parent and child.

Sustainable results are one of the biggest advantages of attachment-focused sleep consulting. The focus on the baby's needs results in better sleep patterns over a more extended period.

Attachment-focused sleep consulting is a gentle, adaptive, and holistic approach to help your baby develop healthy sleep patterns. This method prioritizes attachment and nurturing relationships to create secure attachments between the baby and the parent. It is a personalized program that accommodates the baby's needs and provides opportunities for parents learn more about sleep throughout their baby’s ages and stages.
