I do think itâs prying on desperate parents willing to try anything to get some sleep. But there definitely is a âfixâ in a lot of situations. You donât have to have a sleep consultant for that you can do your own research but there are definitely things you can do to help your babies sleep. Mine has had a 7pm bed time and consistent independent naps since 3 months old. But that all came from research I did and things I implemented

My personal opinion is the attitude towards and âimportanceâ of sleep training comes from America, as so many parents have to go back to work *so* early they want to - and probably do benefit from - parent led / enforced routines from early on. Thatâs now encroaching inti the U.K., despite us having âextendedâ time off and being able to more closely follow babyâs cues / let them lead for longer.
Basically yet another thing rooted in capitalism and patriarchy âđ»

Some babies sleep can be adjusted and some babies are sent from hell to destroy you. But I agree, it does prey on the desperate

I had never heard of sleep consultants until I joined peanut so I looked into it. Anyone can call themselves that just like a life coach. Gives me the ick.

Why unpopular? Doesnât everyone know this?
