Babies 3-5 Months
The “In-Between” class for babies 3-5 months
3-5 months can be a unique and challenging time for sleep. Babies are more alert and aware than they used to be, but their nervous systems are not mature yet. Enter, our mini-class for this in-between sleep stage!
This Class Includes
30 minute video course taught by Julie and Heather, plus a PDF guide. We cover:
Sleep regressions: What’s going on with your baby’s night and naps.
3 points of focus to support babies during this unique and sometimes trying time for sleep.
Where baby sleeps and what they should wear, including when to unswaddle!
How to approach naps, especially short or unpredictable naps. Including optimal spans of awake time.
I’m worried I’m creating unhelpful sleep habits, what do I do?! Plus, a review of the Soothing Ladder method.
NOTE: We can’t expect 3 and 4 month old babies to sleep through the night just yet. This class will reassure you, give you habits to focus on, and help you set the stage for a full night’s sleep, when your baby is 5 months!

Frequently Asked Questions about The Happy Sleeper Sleep Classes
How do I buy and watch the class?
When you enroll in the class, you will be asked to create an account (user name and password). You easily purchase the class from the site, and then you can use your login directly from the top right of the homepage.
Are the classes different than the book?
The online classes teach The Happy Sleeper methods, which are also outlined in the book. What most parents appreciate about the online classes is the ability to actually hear us describe and teach the methods. The online classes are great for people who prefer to watch and listen, rather than reading a book.
I have a 4 month old. Which class should I take?
You can take the 3-5 Month Class to navigate the “in-between” BUT, this class is actually included in the 4-24 Month Class, so if you plan to use the Sleep Wave to help your baby sleep through the night with a structured plan, it’s best to just purchase the 4-24 month class. Let us know if you have questions about what’s best for you!
How do I know my child will feel safe, emotionally?
The Sleep Wave method is designed to satisfy two critical needs of your child, healthy sleep and secure attachment. We will help you understand how good, natural sleep and maintaining a strong, nurtured bond, both develop naturally and work together rather than in opposition. In our approach, your child will definitely have big feelings and protest the new way of falling asleep, but will never wonder or worry about where you are. You will always respond in a frequent and predictable way, so your child feels safe.
How does your approach differ from others?
The Happy Sleeper approach is science-based. We brought together what is known about child development, including when and how the circadian system (which controls sleep) matures, how self-soothing abilities emerge gradually, the natural progression of the attachment relationship and how these all work together to support excellent sleep. Parents often say it feels logical and reasonable.
We are trained psychotherapists, so we use our knowledge of psychology, child development and sleep to create a plan that is both responsive and incredibly effective. It is not necessary to leave a child to cry without response from the parent. The power of our techniques are in the details — we’re excited to teach them to you.
