For parents struggling to get their babies to sleep who are really in need of the services of a baby sleep consultant, it can be very hard to know what to expect. I mean anyone who is sleep-deprived will relate that ultimately if the person can help their baby to sleep and therefore the get the parents more sleep, it does not really matter “what” they specifically do – right?

Don’t see this as a one size fit all approach however, every consultant might have slight differences in their approach. That said this should provide a realistic set of expectations to the process you might go through in selecting your consultant. This guide also will give parents some questions to ask the consultant before hiring them to make sure they know exactly what they should expect from each package. Best of luck!
