Beyond Goodnight

Me and Lexi, April 2024.

Why I'm writing this

I'm Kylie. I'm a single mom by choice. My daughter Lexi is three.

When she was a baby, night became really, really difficult for me. I started reaching out to sleep consultants. I bought lots of plans. But I could not follow through with anything. I failed over and over.

Eventually I trained as a sleep consultant myself, and I worked with many families and coached them through.

I did not have all the information. I don't know that I would do it differently. I didn't have the resources to do it differently.

This guide is the resource I didn't have.

What the guide will walk you through

What's normalHow common night waking still is at this age, from real studies, not from someone's chart.
When to call the doctor firstA short check to run before you change anything. This comes first, always.
The approaches that were actually testedWhat parents in the studies were really asked to do, what was measured, and what the results can and can't tell you.
Pick one, write a one-page planBased on what you're willing and able to do at 2am. What to change, and what to do at the next wake.
Track two numbersA one-page tracker you can read on your phone in the dark.
Look againHow to tell whether the plan is working for you, and what to do if it isn't.

What I won't do

Promise you how your baby's nights will go

Nobody honestly can. I'll tell you what the research found, including the parts nobody quotes.

Sell you a plan for a baby under 6 months

The research doesn't support one yet. If your baby is younger, join anyway. The guide includes a short section on getting ready between 4 and 6 months, and until then you'll get what's normal and what to watch for.

Measure you by whether you finish

Following a plan and being a good parent are not the same thing.
