The Sleepy Starts Sustainable Sleep Framework

Responsive, Connection-Driven Sleep Support for Your Whole Parenting Journey

Do you wish your baby could sleep—and so could you—without feeling like you’re abandoning connection?

Sleep isn’t something you fix. It’s a relationship! Your baby’s sleep reflects how safe, supported, and understood they feel.

The Sleepy Starts Sustainable Sleep Framework is a complete, self-paced course for attachment-focused families who want to support their baby’s sleep without sleep training, cry-it-out methods, rigid schedules or even separation. Whether you’re bedsharing, breastfeeding, or navigating naps and night wakings, this framework gives you the education, tools, and confidence to respond in a way that nurtures both rest and connection.

Why Sleepy Starts Is Different

Most sleep programs focus on independence or quick fixes.

We focus on connection.
When a child feels safe, sleep naturally follows.

With Sleepy Starts, you will:

  • Learn to read your baby’s cues and respond in a way that builds trust

  • Support sleep through every stage—newborn, infant, and toddler

  • Navigate transitions, developmental leaps, and regressions

  • Protect your family’s rhythm without pressure or guilt

You will not find:

  • Cry-it-out methods

  • One-size-fits-all schedules

  • Pressure to ignore your instincts

Instead, you get a framework built around your family’s needs.

What You’ll Learn

Inside the course, you’ll find step-by-step guidance on:

  • What normal infant and toddler sleep actually looks like

  • How to support naps without rigid schedules

  • Handling night wakings, early rising, and split nights

  • Transitioning sleep spaces while keeping connection intact

  • Returning to work while protecting attachment and rest

  • Identifying red flags like oral ties, body tension, or airway concerns

  • Creating rhythms that work for your baby and your lifestyle

This is about understanding your child—not chasing “perfect sleep.”

  • Bedsharing or crib-sleeping

Hi, I’m Katie!

In 2023, my baby girl arrived in a quick, surprise home birth. My husband and I had focused so much on preparing for the birth that we hadn't thought much about what came after. Can you relate? The entire birth took just 20 minutes, and suddenly, we were left to navigate life with a newborn, relying only on bits and pieces of advice we'd heard.

We knew "sleep training" didn't feel right to us, but we weren't sure why. We spent endless hours Googling wake windows, nap times, and how to get a baby to sleep in a bassinet when she simply wouldn't. After numerous appointments with various professionals, we discovered our baby had oral tie issues and extreme body tension from the fast birth. However, we soon realized that sleep is about much more than quick fixes. It's a relationship.

It took us a long time to create positive sleep associations after trying all the "gentle" separation techniques recommended online. Now, I aim to educate attachment-focused parents on fostering a healthy relationship with their child while finding sleep rhythms that work for them. I also strive to provide a supportive community for bedsharing parents, offering evidence-based guidance. I'll help you sort through the noise and learn to trust your instincts.
