While some sleep consultants recommend a tough love, “cry-it-out” approach or an overloaded sleep training cram session, Tiny Transitions says that this creates unnecessary stress and can backfire. The company is introducing a gentle, tiered approach that can have infants sleeping through the night in three to five days and taking consolidated naps in 10 days.
Tiny Transitions consultants work with families throughout the world to help children sleep through the night for the first time or get them back on track after a child’s sleep regression. The company’s SleepSteps® program takes a research-backed, gradual approach. The three-week program introduces sleep steps in a natural sequence rather than in a 10-day crash course that is common in the sleep training industry but leads to high failure rates.
“With these accelerated, ‘rip the bandage off’ approaches, we see consultants trying to regulate naps, bedtime, overnights, and early wakings on day 1, but it’s too much, too fast. It can lead to more tears, a higher quit rate, and more anxiety during the sleep training,” said Courtney Zentz, Founder and CEO of Tiny Transitions.
The SleepSteps® program can be customized for each child, depending on their age and temperament, and also for different parenting styles. This natural approach to pediatric sleep training is based on research from psychologists, lactation counselors, social workers, physician assistants, childcare providers, and doulas. It is backed by industry-best direct support to help parents ease their children into healthy, consistent sleeping patterns.
“This gradual, thoughtfully aligned approach produces amazing results with children sleeping through the night long-term and taking rock star naps with far fewer tears and much less stress for parents,” said Zentz.
Zentz founded Tiny Transitions after leaving her job as a successful marketing executive to start a family. She soon found her well-organized life crumbling into chaos as she dealt with postpartum anxiety and a baby who wouldn’t sleep through the night.
“There were so few resources to support families trying to manage the many stresses of postpartum life. Tiny Transitions fills that void by helping parents move out of the vulnerable fog of sleeplessness so that they can function well as a family,” said Zentz.
Zentz notes that sleeping for five hours per night has the same effect on the brain as intoxication and that sleeplessness can lead to irritability, brain fog, suppressed immune function, and other symptoms.
