Infant and Toddler Gentle Sleep Training Services in Hong Kong

While a few babies between four and five months may show early readiness for sleep coaching, most aren’t developmentally prepared until around six months. Sleep training or coaching can begin once your baby has reached the six-month milestone. Your paediatrician must confirm that they can night wean or sleep for 6 hours or above, and no medical concerns exist.

The length of the training process varies depending on your child’s needs and your family’s goals. Many families see meaningful improvements within 2-3 weeks, while others may benefit from ongoing support, especially for more complex sleep challenges.

OT&P's sleep coaching usually starts with a 60-minute in-person consultation, followed by six 30-minute follow-up phone consultations to allow greater flexibility for parents. 

While results depend on the family’s execution of the plan, our sleep coach will continuously follow up closely on the sleep data and ensure that families feel supported and confident. 

Families will typically see improvements such as more extended, consistent periods of night sleep, fewer night wakings, and enhanced predictability in sleep routines. Outside of sleep, parents report feeling less stressed and better able to enjoy family time and personal time. Ultimately, the goal is to establish healthy, sustainable sleep habits that benefit the whole family.

A coaching session includes a discussion of your child’s sleep patterns, routines, sleeping environments, and strategies to gently and gradually wean off sleep dependencies. We will periodically review progress and address challenges to adjust the sleep plan. We aim to run collaborative and supportive sessions, providing actionable sleep training methods, advice and strategies.

The package can be paused without judgement until your child recovers, and we suggest families hold off on coaching to leave at least 2-3 weeks of consistent days where sleep can be prioritised to ensure coaching can run smoothly.

While some special needs cases may need medical assistance, complementing it with behavioural intervention is often recommended. Our Gentle Sleep Coach® has years of experience with S.E.N. toddlers as an ABA Behavioural Therapist and can work closely with families to tackle sleep troubles with strategies that align with the family’s values and ABA/VB methods.
