What to Expect

Night 1
Once your bedtime rituals are complete, Raquel takes over settling. She stays with your baby until they relax and fall asleep in the cot, learning what helps them settle enough to let sleep come. Parents observe on the monitor, then rest overnight.

Night 2
With primary sleep associations removed, many babies begin to realise that sleep can happen without feeding, sucking, being held, or movement. Settling is usually quicker, though temperament matters.

Night 3
Parents begin settling with Raquel’s real-time guidance. Most babies settle within 30 minutes by this point, often sooner — but again, temperament matters.

Night 4
Sleep patterns usually begin consolidating more reliably overnight. The focus shifts toward consistency, confidence, and refining any remaining settling or resettling challenges. Two days of nap coaching are also integrated across the stay so daytime sleep supports overnight progress.

Night 5 (Full Integration Stay)
Five nights is recommended for older babies, babies with more established sleep associations or stronger protest patterns, and for families who are deeply exhausted and need a more complete reset themselves — what many parents describe as a “sleep holiday.”

Additional Daytime Support Included in the 5-Night Stay
The 5-night package also includes a third day of nap coaching and daytime support, allowing more time to refine daytime rhythms, troubleshoot nap challenges, and strengthen the overall carryover between day sleep and overnight sleep.

Please note: Due to the stronger protest patterns and more established sleep associations often seen in older babies, Raquel may not agree to taking on bookings for babies 9 months or older unless the family is booking the full 5-night stay.
