The Top Answers to DAD’s Questions!

It's essential for both parents to be on board when it comes to addressing sleep difficulties.

While I receive excellent questions from both parents, moms are typically more eager to address sleep concerns than dads. However, once I speak with dads and address their concerns and questions, both parents are typically able to develop a plan that addresses their family's unique circumstances.

It's worth noting that when I say "dad," I'm referring to a partner, support person, or spouse. I've worked with many wonderful dads over the years, and some even take the lead in solving sleep challenges. In fact, I've found that having a partner assist with settling can lead to quicker results.

Here are the top three hesitations that dads often express:

  1. "If we wait, this will resolve on its own." Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Without making changes, lasting sleep issues often persist for years.


  2. "Do we need to hire someone for help with sleep? Shouldn't we be able to handle this on our own?" In reality, sleep is a complex and nuanced issue. Infants and young children have different sleep needs than adults, and consulting with a sleep professional can help you develop a plan that meets your family's needs. While you can try to address sleep issues on your own, without a solid plan and support, you may struggle to know what to do at the moment and in the future.


  3. "Let's try one more thing first," or "Let's just let baby cry it out." Unfortunately, trying things haphazardly or ignoring the root cause of sleep issues often leads to a long, tearful night. It's best to approach addressing sleep issues thoughtfully and comprehensively with a plan that sets your child up for success.

To all the dads out there, I want to reiterate that you are vital to resolving your family's sleep difficulties. While changing habits and routines can be challenging, it is worth the effort to invest in a solid plan and support to help all family members rest and recover. If you're struggling with sleep issues, I encourage you to talk to your partner about how sleep deprivation is affecting you both. And remember, there's no need to struggle alone - parenting is tough, and getting help can ease the burden and improve the quality of life for the whole family.

Lastly, I'd like to share some feedback from real-life dads who now have well-rested families thanks to a comprehensive sleep plan:

  • "Lily was the guide and support that my wife and I needed. We are all sleeping now, and that wouldn't have been possible without her." - Mark N.

  • "We can't express how thankful we are for Lily's sleep program. Our son was waking up 2-3 times a night and not napping through the day. But now he naps during the day and gets a full night sleep. Lily was so helpful and supportive throughout the process. Our family is so happy to be getting a full night sleep now." - Darren King.

  • "Having said, I was aggressively against letting my baby cry out to sleep, even though we were suffering. My wife found Lily a few weeks ago. She was charming, confident, and very competent. We told her our concerns, and she made us a plan. It worked so quickly that we still cannot believe and wondering around as what happened and how… :) He now sleeps 12 hours straight, no bottle dependency, better mood and finally, we are so in good physical and mental shape. My advice to parents that have similar issues: Trust Lily and let her make your parenthood more enjoyable. Thank you, Lily." - Hamid Reza Zebardast

  • "Lil Baby Sleep Consulting has been the best investment we have made in our babies and for the quality of life of our family. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lily! We will be forever grateful to you!" - Isaac Eydlin

  • "I was hesitant at first, but Lily really came through for us. She helped our family sleep better, and I am happy we decided to work with her. It was a good investment for us." - Mike E.

“We will never be able to fully express our gratitude to Lily for giving us our quality of life back! We sleep now more than ever and most importantly our babies sleep 12 hour nights and nap 2 hours during the day.
Lily is the fairy godmother in our fairytale. I say fairytale, because we would never have imaged we would have such great little sleepers with having twins in the same room. But that was no problem for Lily: she knew exactly what to do! Lily’s support was invaluable in our journey to sleep.
Lily is compassionate, understanding, encouraging, knowledgable, friendly and extremely supportive! When she says she is a call away she really is - she was always right there with us whenever we needed her.
Lil Baby Sleep Consulting has been the best investment we have made in our babies and for the quality of life of our family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lily! We will be forever grateful to you!”
