Would you like to let your breastfeeding child grow up in a needs-oriented manner and are you wondering where your needs are?
Are you wondering if you’re still doing everything right? Or whether those who think you should have let your child cry a long time ago will be right.
Yet…
- your child just doesn’t want to fall asleep without breastfeeding
- you don’t want to train your child to behave in ways that reflect their needs
- you would rather you find a common path
- you’re even unsure how to tell a good baby sleep program from a bad one
In the checklist, we review the various aspects covered by traditional baby sleep programs and coaching.
You will also check which challenges you are currently facing when it comes to baby sleep.
Allow yourself to be encouraged to be the one holding the hand over your breastfeeding relationship. You can take care of both of you and take care of yourself as well as your little darling.
NOW YOU’VE BEEN BREASTFEEDING FOR A WHILE
But the nights are – always or now – a catastrophe.
You had no idea how challenging it is to get a baby to sleep?
You assumed babies sleep peacefully and quietly?
You want your baby to be well – but you can’t afford it much longer?
For quite a while you thought or hoped that everything was “just a phase” and held yourself back with this mantra to change anything.
The problem: It’s serious.
Headaches and other physical pains, nausea and lack of concentration are just some of the symptoms…
With an increasing lack of sleep, there are more and more situations in which you can no longer react as lovingly as you originally intended. Where you moan at your baby or breastfeeding child.
Or does your partner get it?
That definitely needs to change! You are considering booking a baby sleep program, coaching or consultation. But how can you be sure that something isn’t going to happen there that you don’t like?
Is it really need-based?
NOTICE SOMETHING?
Your baby / breastfeeding child is not “functioning” properly
If we take a closer look at baby sleep programs (courses, consultations), many start with a change in the child’s behavior.
Did you know that by definition, baby sleep problems are linked to whether you, as a parent, have a problem with your baby’s behavior?
If we take a leap of thought, it’s very similar on the couple level.
Even if only one of us has a problem in the relationship, we both have a problem.
So: send partners to therapy? After that everything is perfect again!?
No! When it comes to partnership problems, it is also a challenge to see what our own share is.
Only – we’re talking about 2 adults. Proportion: 50-50.
It’s different when a baby sleeps. We are the big ones. We bear the responsibility. The adults. To 100%.
