Question 1

What is the goal of the course?

Accepted Answer

This course will give you a fundamental understanding of your baby's sleep patterns and show you how to create a sleep-promoting environment – completely without pressure. You'll learn how to structure your daily routine, gently develop a rhythm, and lovingly support your baby as they fall asleep independently. This will lay a stable, flexible, and needs-based foundation for restful sleep in the first few months.

Question 2

What are the contents of the course?

Accepted Answer

This course offers a solid introduction to the topic of baby sleep and guides you through your child's first months. You'll learn how your baby's sleep changes in the different developmental phases – from the first weeks to the third year of life.

You will learn:

• The basics of baby sleep: How much sleep does your baby need? What changes occur between the third and fifth months? What does age-appropriate sleeping through the night mean?
 • The path to a good night's sleep for your baby: How do you recognize signs of tiredness? What role do periods of wakefulness play? How do you create an optimal sleep environment and a calming bedtime ritual?
 • Falling asleep and staying asleep independently: What gentle methods help your baby fall asleep on their own? How can sleep be stabilized throughout the night?
 • Drinking and sleep: How do breastfeeding or bottle-feeding affect sleep quality? What role does nutrition play in sleep patterns?
 • Special situations: How do you deal with illness, teething, or sleep regressions? What happens during transitional phases?
 • Practical aids: What purchases can support your baby's sleep? What methods can help you to sustainably improve sleep?

In addition, the course includes helpful tables and overviews that offer quick guidance in everyday life. This will help you better understand your baby's sleep, develop a healthy rhythm, and promote restful nights for the whole family.

Question 3

Who is the course for?

Accepted Answer

This course is aimed at:

1. Expecting parents,
2. Parents who are expecting another child and have not had good experiences with baby sleep so far or want to refresh their knowledge,
3. Parents of newborns aged 0–3 months

Question 4

When is the best time to attend the course?

Accepted Answer

In my opinion, the best time to attend the course is when the expectant mother is on maternity leave, so about three to six weeks before the due date . Perhaps even towards the end or after the childbirth preparation course. During this phase, your mind is clear to focus on the topic, and the content will still be fresh in your mind when your baby arrives.

Question 5

What age group does the course cover?

Accepted Answer

The course focuses on the first 5 months of life, during which you lay a valuable foundation for good sleep. In addition, the course contains important information that will help you throughout your child's first 3 years.

Question 6

When does the course take place?

Accepted Answer

In-person courses take place at selected midwifery practices, family centers, and birthing centers. Dates and booking options can be found on the respective local partner websites.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

The course will take place live online. Once I have confirmed your spot and received your payment, you will receive a link to the course via Google Meet . You don't need to install anything or register – simply click on the link at the scheduled time and join.

Question 8

I've heard of "sleep training" and I don't want to let my child cry. Is that part of the course?

Accepted Answer

A resounding no!
I consciously distance myself from outdated methods such as "letting them cry it out" and instead rely on bonding, understanding, tenderness and patience, combined with clear structures and a feasible plan.

Question 9

I attended the course and we still experience challenging nights...

Accepted Answer

Sleep problems in babies can have many causes. My goal is for all course participants to establish a solid foundation for good baby sleep and, ideally, not need any further help from me. Of course, I can't cover all aspects of baby sleep and address every individual situation in a two-hour course. Keep referring back to the written guide from the course. Should you still have questions or problems, I'm always available. Just contact me directly – I offer discounted individual coaching sessions for course participants, as a full consultation package is usually no longer necessary.

Question 10

I don't have the financial means to afford the course...

Accepted Answer

Your baby's good sleep and healthy development shouldn't depend on your financial situation. Please contact me, describe your situation, and together we'll find a solution!
