What Happens During a Baby’s First Sleep Session?

Bringing a newborn home is one of the most beautiful—and overwhelming—experiences in early parenthood. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, those first few weeks are filled with love, sleep deprivation, and questions. That’s exactly why I created the Baby’s First Sleep Session—a calming, in-home visit to support families in Gilbert, AZ and the surrounding area.

If you're looking for gentle, evidence-based guidance during the newborn stage, this one-time session is for you. Here's what to expect:

Safe Sleep Setup

During our visit, we’ll walk through your baby’s sleep space together. I’ll help you create a safe, simple, and calming environment that supports the American Academy of Pediatrics’ safe sleep guidelines, while also fitting your real-life routines.

Whether your baby is sleeping in a bassinet, bedside sleeper, or crib, I’ll help you feel confident that their space is both secure and soothing.

Soothing & Swaddling Support

Struggling with fussiness or trouble settling your baby to sleep? You’re not alone. I’ll teach you calming techniques and demonstrate how to swaddle in a way that promotes safety and sleep.

If swaddling isn’t working (or if your baby doesn’t like it), I’ll walk you through alternatives and troubleshoot in real time based on what your baby actually needs.

Wake Windows Explained

Understanding your newborn’s wake windows is one of the most effective ways to improve sleep. I’ll show you how to spot your baby’s sleepy cues, how long they should be awake, and how to gently create a rhythm to avoid overtiredness.

You’ll leave with a simple plan that adjusts as your baby grows—without a rigid schedule.

Ask-Me-Anything Support

From feeding and naps to evening fussiness, gas, wake-ups, and everything in between—this session includes plenty of time to ask all your questions.

Because this is more than just sleep support. It’s a moment to breathe, be seen, and feel supported by someone who understands the real-life challenges of those early days.

This Session is for You If...

  • You’re pregnant and want a smoother start once baby arrives

  • You’re 1–3 weeks into life with your newborn and feeling unsure

  • You want support that’s local, in-person, and personal

  • You value gentle, loving guidance grounded in evidence and experience
