FAQs
Q: How is HushPup different from other programs?
A: Most sleep consultants provide generalized advice through videos or guides, leaving you to figure things out alone. At HushPup Baby, I offer personalized, real-time support via text—guiding you step by step, adapting the plan to your baby’s needs in real-time, and ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.
Q: What if my baby doesn’t follow the schedule?
A: That’s exactly why I work with you in real-time! No two babies are the same, and schedules sometimes need adjustments. I’ll help you adapt the plan as we go, ensuring that we find a routine that works best for your baby and your family.
Q: Can I sleep train my baby if I’m breastfeeding?
A: Yes! Sleep training and breastfeeding work hand in hand when approached correctly. We’ll follow a sleep-eat-play rhythm so your baby always knows when their next meal is coming. This approach encourages fuller feedings instead of snacking, helping your baby sleep longer stretches while still supporting your breastfeeding journey.
Q: How early can I start my baby on your program?
A: If breastfeeding, it’s important to establish a good milk supply first through supply and demand. I generally start working with babies at 8 weeks, but if your baby is gaining weight appropriately, you can begin sleep training earlier. I’ll help guide you based on your baby’s unique needs.
Q: Will my baby cry during sleep training?
A: Learning any new skill comes with some frustration, and sleep is no different. Some tears are natural, but my method ensures gentle reassurance every step of the way. I’ll teach you how to soothe your baby appropriately while encouraging them to develop healthy, independent sleep habits. By 4+ months, too much intervention can actually make sleep harder for babies, and I’ll help you navigate when to comfort and when to step back.
💡 As a mom myself, I’ve been through this too! If you’re concerned about tears, let’s chat—I’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
Q: Can my baby really learn to sleep in just 3 days?
A: Yes! If caregivers follow the steps I provide, your baby will gain the skills they need to:
✔ Sleep age-appropriate stretches* overnight
✔ Connect their sleep cycles for longer naps (no more 20–30 minute catnaps!)
*Examples of age appropriate stretches:
6 weeks = 6 hours
7 weeks = 7 hours
8 weeks = 8 hours
