Over the past few months I’ve really struggled to get Kylie to sleep on her own, without needing me constantly. I had no idea what to do until I learned about the Little Ones Sleep Program and knew we needed to try it, as I was exhausted and just wanted Kylie to sleep better. So, I decided to try the Little Ones Comprehensive Program. Fast forward to a month & half later, and it’s really transformed Kylie into a much BETTER sleeper. Almost like magic or something! In this blog post I’m going to share all about the program, and how much it’s helped our family out. I mean this mama is getting a full nights sleep, and so is Kylie! It’s fantastic!

Little Ones help families sleep with their comprehensive online Sleep Programs. They believe better sleep doesn’t have to be difficult to achieve and with their holistic approach and gentle methods, easier settling and greatly improved sleep is attainable for everyone.

Overview:

Little Ones Sleep Programs are a unique approach to your baby’s day based on their age. Little Ones is the most comprehensive online program, containing tons of detailed information to help you through the first years of your little one's life.

I’ll be sharing about the 3-12 month Little Ones Sleep Program & providing more detail about what it is, and how exactly it works.

The Littles Ones Sleep Program is centered around baby’s awake time and nap lengths, so the timing of the routine shifts depending on those two factors. As such, everyday might be slightly different depending on what time baby woke and how long each of her nap lasted.

Little Ones Sleep Programs were created by mothers, educators and medical professionals who we have had experience analysing the sleep patterns of thousands of babies, to develop a natural, biological rhythm for baby sleep.

Little Ones is similar to other sleep programs in the sense that it is a flexible routine, meaning you make day-to-day changes accordingly. However, it differs from other programs in the way that it handles changes in baby’s routine. The Little Ones program offers different solutions based on how much earlier baby woke. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for every situation. It even has instructions for night wakings.

The program maintains a very delicate yet elegant balance of total awake + sleep time within 24 hours, while also managing to maintain somewhat consistent nap times even for serial catnappers. The result is a more or less predictable 7-to-7 day.

Sounds like magic? It probably is.

How it works:

Like a problem-solving flow chart, the Little Ones program has specific instructions for each kind of situation to ensure consistent bedtimes each day.

The Littles Ones program is broken down by age groups: 0-3 months (starting from 2 weeks), 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, and 2-3 years. Each program comes in the form of a downloadable PDF guide with the routine, detailed troubleshooting section, as well as useful information on settling techniques and age-appropriate matters, like starting solids and dropping naps.

Whatever age you start the program for baby, they have clear instructions on how to implement their program and what to expect.

Starting baby on a new routine is always difficult, and the Little Ones guides do recommend allowing 1-2 weeks for baby to adjust. This means taking things slow and you will initially find yourself referring to the Troubleshooting Section of the guide very often, almost daily. Since the Little Ones Sleep Program is so comprehensive and detailed, there was little stress for me and Kylie even when naps or bedtimes went wrong.

"I was exhausted and needed a solution. I found the Little Ones program and started it the next day. I saw improvement after 3 days! She is sleeping through the night and she falls asleep on her own. I am a happier rested momma and she is a happier rested baby. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone!"

How long does it take to start seeing improvements?

It takes about 1-2 weeks before you start seeing improvement in baby’s sleep habits. Most moms actually report seeing a regression before improvements kicked in.

Whether or not the sleep program ‘works’ depends on your definition: as for us it’s been a complete game changer!

Will this help baby sleep through the night?

I can’t tell you 100% that it will work for your baby, as everyone is different and many factors dependent on baby, not just her routine and self-settling abilities. However, this program has helped over 150k mothers all over the world, and is rated 5+ stars! We’ve had success, and I personally know many other of my mama friends who have had success with this program too!

Baby Can Self-Settle:

Separate to their sleep guides, the Little Ones program also includes a comprehensive settling guide, which teaches various age-appropriate settling techniques to gradually teach baby to self-settle. Starting the program earlier, the easier teaching baby to self-settle.

Baby Sleeping Habits:

The Little Ones sleep program has a long term view to baby sleep habits and is centered around the mid-day nap, which is ideally two hours long. Very few babies can manage a two hours nap, but that’s where the magic of their sleep program lies. By carefully planning the timing and length of the morning nap, their program works toward consolidating most of the baby’s daytime sleep into the midday nap.

So, instead of trying to get baby to take three proper naps throughout the day, their program focuses primarily on getting just ONE really solid nap mid-day. This really relieves a lot of stress for mom and it means baby can easily be taken out and about in the mornings and afternoons for her shorter naps. Once you’ve been on the program for 1-2 weeks, you should start getting a longer mid-day nap out of baby.

Little Ones focuses on world-class education from experts around the world. They offer easy-to-follow schedules based on what your day looks like & the ability to choose which method works for you & your family. They also provide awesome support that all of their customers receive from their certified sleep consultants, through their "support village”!

Final Thoughts:

The Little Ones Sleep Program is by far the most economical professional guide I’ve found that provides the BEST support for its customers. The company itself is founded and run by moms just like you and me (although with way more sleep-related qualifications, training, and experience), so they have a lot of compassion and understanding for what we’re going through. Which is so nice to know!
