Expecting a brand new little one?

As you look forward to the arrival of your new baby, you're likely experiencing a whirlwind of emotions, and it's completely natural to have a few worries, especially about sleep.

  • Have you had people warn you about the restless nights ahead?
  • Or maybe you’ve searched for baby sleep guidance only to end up more confused than when you started?
  • Or perhaps the advice you’ve been given just doesn’t feel right in your heart?

Has that left you feeling stressed out, insecure, and anxious about how you’ll ever be able to navigate baby sleep?

Common Questions

If your little one is younger than 12 weeks—even if they’re 10-12 weeks old—then yes!

If your baby is 5 months or older, consider The 5–24 Month Collection to get help establishing 10-12 hours of independent sleep.

The First Five Months Bundle comes with on-demand access that never expires so that you have it to watch now and for every question, concern, and hiccup along the way.

When parents ask this question, they’re typically wondering when their baby might sleep through the night. My honest answer is, “Every baby is different.”

So, while I can’t promise your baby will be sleeping 10 hours at 3 months, I can promise this class will meet your baby where they are developmentally and help them progress at their own pace towards better sleep and longer stretches at night.

It’s a gentle method, so it’ll take practice and patience. The goal is to make progress toward independent sleep, while avoiding any roadblocks along the way.

No!! The First Five Months Bundle doesn’t have any sleep training or crying it out; these classes are designed to help you establish healthy sleep habits with gentle practice.

You’ll include lots of hugs, snuggles, rocking, and baby-wearing, and you’ll establish flexible routines, not rigid schedules.

I know every baby and family is a bit different! I can tell you our classes have worked for thousands of families with little ones who:

  • are up all night.
  • need to be bounced, fed, or snuggled to sleep.
  • don’t love being swaddled.
  • are exclusively breastfed, exclusively bottle-fed, or a combination of the two.
  • attend daycare.
  • are multiples.
  • have acid reflux and other health concerns.
  • and lots more.

All Taking Cara Babies classes are covered by our 30-day, money-back guarantee.
