Why Night Wakings Happen
Some wakings are developmental, some are habit, some are hunger, and some are a combination of all three. The plan depends entirely on which one is actually driving what's happening with your baby, which is why a generic answer rarely works.
Being in person in San Diego means I can look at your baby's actual routine, feeding schedule, and sleep environment, and figure out what's really going on rather than guessing from a symptom list.

FAQ
My baby still needs night feeds. Can we still work on this?
Yes. The plan respects your baby's nutritional needs while still working to reduce unnecessary wakings.
How many wakings is normal at my baby's age?
This varies a lot by age and stage. I'll walk through what's realistic for your baby specifically.
We've tried everything and nothing works. What's different here?
Generic advice doesn't account for your baby's specific temperament, feeding needs, and environment. I build the plan around your child, not a template.
Is in-person help available in San Diego?
Yes.
