Are you wondering which of my classes is best for you? Let’s talk about it.
Where do I start?anchor
Start with your baby or toddler’s age! Each of my classes emphasizes meeting your little one where they are developmentally. Because of that, I always encourage families to buy the class that matches their baby or toddler’s age.
Expert Tip: In cases where a baby was born prematurely (before 37 weeks), we’ll use adjusted age to help decide which class is the best option. Now, if your baby was born after 37 weeks (yes, even if that sweet baby was born at 42 weeks), we’ll use their age from birth.

0-12 weeks
In the early weeks of your baby’s life, I want you to have the tools you need to lay a healthy sleep foundation for your baby. That’s exactly what my Will I Ever Sleep Again? newborn class is all about. I’ll give you the tools and resources you need to calm a fussy baby, have confidence as a parent, read your baby’s cues, and set your days and nights up for success. And there's no crying involved! I want you to LOVE the newborn stage.
Now, I know that some of you are reading this and asking “But, Cara, my baby is 11 weeks, is the newborn class the right choice for me?” Yes! Even for babies 10-12 weeks the newborn class is the right choice for you!
Insider Tip: I love the combination of having both Will I Ever Sleep Again? and Navigating Months 3 & 4, so I have a bundle option called First Five Months Bundle that gives you both classes at 15% off.
3-4 Months (13-22 weeks)
Around 4 months, babies face huge developmental changes, which can make nights rough.
I created Navigating Months 3 & 4 to offer you a roadmap for moving through this exciting but tricky stage. I'll teach you how to set up a healthy daytime routine, practice important sleep skills, and make progress in your sleep journey. I want you to have the tools to meet your baby right where he is developmentally and feel confident in this new stage of your baby's life.
This ebook is for you whether you took my newborn class or you didn't. It's also for you if you have a great little sleeper and just need next steps or if sleep is a total mess. Want a preview? Check out this free preview of Navigating Months 3 & 4.

Taking Cara Babies Classes FAQanchor
-
I love when parents take my newborn class before their baby arrives. But the truth is you can start any Taking Cara Babies class whenever you’re ready. Choose the class that matches your little one’s age, as this will ensure that we’re meeting your little one where they are developmentally.
-
I recommend waiting until your baby is at least 5 months old before starting formal sleep training. Around 5 months, your baby has made the sleep cycle adjustment and the melatonin hormone required for successful sleep also begins to regulate, making sleep training much more effective.
-
Taking Cara Babies classes are not “one size fits all” or one “perfect method.” Instead, I’ll show you how to customize a holistic, research-supported plan that’s perfect for your unique child and your specific situation. I’ll guide you step-by-step through your sleep journey.

If you’re wondering, “Does Taking Cara Babies teach cry it out?”, the short answer is no. Please know, my newborn class will teach you no-cry strategies to lay a healthy sleep foundation from the start.
