First, I’d encourage you to check out the post one of my fellow consultants, Katie Baker, made about how to know when your baby is ready to sleep through the night. Once you know your baby is ready to sleep through the night, you should look for and work on these four things. This is called the Sleep Equation
You are probably wondering if hiring a sleep consultant is really worth it. Asking yourself if it’s really beneficial or if you can just tackle sleep training on your own.
A sleep consultant offers you expert guidance and support every step of the way and will create a plan that works for YOUR family.
This is a common question that parents have. And while the short answer is when your baby is between 12-15 pounds or double their birth weight, there is more to it than that. At Kelly Murray Sleep, we look to establish the sleep equation to set babies up for sleeping through the night once they are ready. Read on for the four things that make up the sleep equation.

In this blog, read what Dr. Adhikari had to say and learn more about some of the most important updates made to the AAP Safe Sleep Recommendations.
