To get individualized information to help assist your family in getting the most sleep as possible. There is lots of information on the internet available for you to access. However, it cannot be targeted to your specific family situation and your questions cannot be answered when you have them without an individual personal consultant to help you.
You can start by scheduling a free 15-minute consultation with Dr. Vyas here. During the call, your information will be reviewed and based on the details given in the call, a sleep package will be recommended that will help your family the most. On the same day as your phone call, you will be directed to a website to complete the disclaimer paperwork. After completion of the form, you will receive an email with all the available packages discussed and a method to schedule the consult that was recommended. You will also complete disclaimer paperwork, a sleep questionnaire as well as make payment in full. Then the real work begins. After the consultation, you will start to follow the rules outlined by Dr. Vyas in order to get your child sleeping and eating better. You will get multiple follow up emails as early as the day of your appointment with useful information. If you have questions on what is included, refer to the services section here or contact support@sleeplessinnola.com.
That is a good question. Dr. Vyas prides herself on making sure that every client gets lots of support so that the client feels supported, heard and can implement the changes needed to ensure success. However, even though Dr. Vyas will provide you with the tools to reach your goals, you must be prepared to work. Just paying for the program will not change you, your perceptions, or underlying hard ingrained behavioral pathways that have lead to poor sleep habits and thus inadequate sleep. We will have to gradually work to eliminate the associations, however, it will take hard work to eliminate the bad habits and it will take time. You will have to log your progress and make adjustments on a daily basis until the goals are reached. If there is a regression, you will have to work harder in regaining control secondary to those changes. If you believe that you are GOING TO DO IT and you CAN DO IT, you will be all in. It will be the work you put in that will give you the results. Many people do think the money spent is a big motivator to actually do the work. But remember no program will work if you simply sign up and pay. You have to be involved, you will have to work, you will have to be active, persistent and consistent and Dr. Vyas will be there to help support you through the process.

No, it is better if they are not there and if they need to be present because they are nursing or there is nowhere for them to go, then its best to have a caregiver designated for them so that the parents can pay attention to the consult. There is such a large volume of information presented at the consult that it is best if you are not distracted when listening. However, if this is not possible, we can still complete the consult but it may be more difficult.
Of course, every child is different, but typically how long a child takes to ‘learn’ is more dependent on how long it will take to ‘unlearn’ the bad sleep habits that were created. Some kids learn within a few days while others take a few weeks. It is also dependent on how fast and how consistently the parents implement the changes.
There are many sleep training strategies that you will see online or be advised to follow from friends and family that worked for them. But you need to put into practice the strategies that reflect your parenting style and schedule. Additionally, the goal is to undo bad habits and associations in a gentle and safe manner with the fewest tears as possible. Your baby may cry as a way to indicate to you that he is unhappy with what you are doing. But if the foundatin of sleep and feeidng is established as you work to undo the badhabits, the amount of teas is minimized. Crying is one of the ways babies communicate. But with our gradual approach, we try to minimize the number of tears so that everyone is happier but still successful!
