What does a pediatric sleep consultant do?
A pediatric sleep consultant builds a custom sleep plan for your child and coaches you through executing it. You get a plan built for your specific child — age, temperament, environment — and someone in your corner while you run it. No forums. No 3 a.m. Google searches. You follow the plan. Your kid sleeps.
Is a sleep consultant worth it?
Yes, if you've been trying to fix sleep on your own for more than a few weeks and it's not working. The cost of a consultant is a fraction of the cost of another six months of broken sleep — on your work, your marriage, and your health. Most families see real change in the first week.
Do sleep consultants work virtually?
Yes. Little You Consulting is 100% virtual across the United States and Canada. Strategy sessions happen over video call, daily support runs through messaging, and follow-ups are scheduled on the calendar. Nobody comes to your house. The results are the same.
What's the difference between a sleep consultant and sleep training?
Sleep training is the method — the actual technique used at bedtime. A sleep consultant builds the whole plan around that method and supports you through it. Training is one tool. Consulting is the strategy, the schedule, the environment, the feeding plan, and the coaching that makes training actually work.
What age can I start sleep training my baby?
Structured sleep training works from 4 to 6 months once your baby can consolidate sleep. Younger than that, we build the foundation — full feeds, right wake windows, solid environment — so training later takes a fraction of the time. Ages 0 to 6 are all fair game.
Do you use cry-it-out methods?
No. Cry-it-out is one tool in a giant toolbox, and it's not the tool we lead with. You tell us how gentle you want to go, and we build the plan around your comfort level and your kid's temperament. You stay in control the entire time.
How long does it take to see results?
Most families see real change in 3 to 7 nights and are fully locked in inside 2 to 3 weeks. Speed depends on your kid and your consistency, which is exactly why daily support exists during week one and two. You don't drift. You don't quit on night four.
Do you work with toddlers and older kids, or just babies?
Newborn to age 6. Newborn foundations, infant training, toddler bedtime wars, early rising, crib-to-bed transitions, preschool night wakings — if a kid under 6 isn't sleeping, we work on it.
Can you help if my child shares a room with a sibling?
Yes. Room-sharing is common and completely workable. We stagger bedtimes, adjust the environment, and use techniques that don't wake the other kid. Plenty of families have both kids sleeping through in the same room within a couple of weeks.
Do you support breastfeeding and bottle-feeding families?
Both. Sleep and feeding are connected, so the plan is built around whatever your feeding setup is — breast, bottle, combo, night weaning, or keeping night feeds. Nothing about the plan requires you to stop nursing or switch feeding methods.
Do you offer virtual sleep consultations in the United States?
Yes. 100% virtual across the U.S. and Canada, priced in USD. Video call for the strategy session, messaging for daily support, follow-ups on the calendar. Same result as in-home consulting, without anyone in your house.
How much does a baby sleep consultant cost?
Sleep consulting runs from around $200 for a plan-only package to $600+ for full support with daily messaging and follow-ups. Little You Consulting offers three tiers in USD so you pick your level of hand-holding. Every one of them starts with a free 15-minute call.
What if the plan isn't working?
We adjust it. That's the whole point of daily messaging support — we watch the data from your nights and change the plan in real time. Plans don't fail because kids are broken. They fail because nobody adjusts them mid-week. We adjust.
Do you work with families across Canada?
Yes. Little You Consulting supports families across every Canadian province and every U.S. state. All services are virtual and all pricing is in USD. Time zones are handled at booking.
Do your methods follow the AAP safe sleep guidelines?
Yes. Every plan follows the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) safe sleep guidelines — back to sleep, firm flat surface, no loose bedding, room-sharing without bed-sharing for the first 6 months. Nothing in a Little You Consulting plan conflicts with AAP guidance.
