Meaghan and her husband were struggling with their 9-month-old daughter's sleep. Bedtime had become a lengthy process, often taking up to an hour of rocking before she finally drifted off. Their nights were filled with frequent wake-ups, and despite their best efforts, they found themselves resorting to bed-sharing just to get some much-needed rest.
Recognizing that this situation wasn’t sustainable, they realized that their daughter was waking up cranky and exhausted during the day. Naps were a challenge too; she would only sleep for 30 minutes at a time, leaving everyone feeling drained and on edge.
At their wit's end, Meaghan and her husband wanted to make a change but felt overwhelmed whenever their little one cried. To complicate matters, even while bed-sharing, they experienced constant crying, and their daughter had started pulling herself up, leading to fragmented sleep for all.
Determined to find a solution, Meaghan reached out for help. Together, they began the Your Dream Plan program, focusing on specific strategies to improve their daughter's sleep.
Implementing the Plan
During their initial consultation, they explored the various factors affecting their daughter’s sleep. They established an age-appropriate schedule, removed environmental disruptions, and chose a sleep training technique that felt right for both parents. They also developed a gradual weaning plan, leaving behind the guesswork.
Results from the First Nights
Night 1: Armed with their new plan, the family adjusted their schedule to accommodate daycare pickup and practiced napping on the go. That night, their daughter fell asleep by herself in just 20 minutes. She woke once during the night but settled herself in just three minutes, ultimately sleeping for 12 hours. The parents were astonished at how simple it seemed!
Night 2: Their daughter took only 10 minutes to fall asleep at bedtime, waking up at 5 AM. Thanks to their plan, she was able to fall back asleep and woke up happy at 7 AM. Naps became a breeze, and she stopped fighting them.
Night 3: After a calming bedtime routine, their daughter happily settled into her crib, rolling over and drifting off with no fuss. She slept for 12 hours, and they had to wake her up in the morning!
From that point on, the nights continued to improve. Several key factors contributed to their success:
Consistent Schedule: They prioritized sleep pressure and timing, ensuring their daughter was ready for rest.
Relaxing Wind Down: They created a soothing bedtime routine without encouraging sleep associations, putting her down wide awake.
Responsive Approach: They learned when and how to respond to her cries, sticking to their plan with consistency.
Personal Adjustments: They tweaked their routine and techniques to suit their daughter’s temperament and needs.
Open Communication: By asking questions, they felt confident adapting their approach as necessary.
While every family’s journey is unique, Meaghan and her husband discovered that with a little guidance, achieving restful nights was within reach.
