Why Sleep Training Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

When it comes to sleep training, one of the most common misconceptions is that there’s a universal approach that works for every baby. If that were true, we’d have one sleep book or one sleep plan and all kids would be amazing sleepers. But if you’ve searched “baby sleep books” on Amazon lately you’ll see that there are more than 20 different books on the first page of results alone.

The beautiful reality is that every child is unique, which means that their sleep needs, habits, and temperament vary. What works for one baby might not work for another, which is why it’s essential to find a sleep training solution that is personalized, flexible, and tailored to your specific situation.

For parents in Metro Detroit seeking to improve their baby’s sleep, a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t cut it. This is where our live-in sleep coaching comes in—a highly effective solution that offers personalized, hands-on support for families who need expert guidance and individualized care.
