Newborn Sleep Doesn’t Have to Be a Nightmare
Discover a way to support your newborn’s sleep that aligns with their natural rhythms and promotes secure attachment.
You’ve probably already heard the warnings — “You have to sleep train, or you’ll regret it forever.” Even before your baby’s here, the pressure starts building.
It feels like if you don’t have a perfect plan for sleep, you’re already falling behind — setting yourself and your baby up for a future of sleepless nights, stress, and frustration.
But what if that’s not true?
What if understanding normal infant sleep — based on biology and science — could give you the confidence to navigate those early months with more ease (and a lot less guilt)?
There’s a gentler way to support your baby’s sleep, one that honors your baby’s development, your instincts, and your family’s needs — no rigid schedules, no “cry it out,” and no fear-based advice required.
If Any of This Rings True, You’re in the Right Place
😴 You’ve been told to sleep train, but the idea of letting your newborn cry it out feels totally wrong.
😴 You’re pregnant and want to feel prepared, but it’s hard to know where to start.
😴 You’re drowning in conflicting advice and feel like you’re constantly second-guessing your every decision.
I have been there…right where you are right now. Wondering where all the evidence-based, high quality information is and feeling lonely and overwhelmed when searching for something different. Which is why I help parents find a better way.
After all, you don’t know what you don’t know.
I’m Kim Hawley, a Holistic Sleep Coach and IBCLC, who believes in working with your baby’s biology and attachment, not against it. I use evidence-based, attachment focused strategies to help families get the rest they need while staying connected to their baby and following their intuition.
It’s Time to Say Goodbye to:
👋 Googling “Is it normal…” about your newborn’s sleep.
👋 The stress of feeling pressured to sleep train or “fix” your baby’s sleep.
👋 Wondering if your baby’s sleep habits are “healthy” or “wrong.”
👋 Feeling overwhelmed from conflicting advice and frustrated with one-size-fits-all approaches that ignore your baby’s temperament.
You don’t need a sleep strategy, you need a realistic understanding of newborn sleep to thrive in the 4th trimester!

“Of all the ways I prepared for our firstborn, this class was the most helpful. During the early, bleary newborn days, I referenced my notes almost daily.”
S, mom of an infant reflecting on the newborn days after taking my class while pregnant
“As you’re well aware, there is plenty of information out there that makes parents/caregivers feel that they should be doing things that often don’t feel natural or intuitive. As new parents, it is challenging to know what is best for our family given the incredible volume of information claiming to be the true solution for baby sleep (among other things).
Your course was really very empowering for us and has helped us create a sleeping environment that works well for our family. It really makes us feel more confident in our ability to be the best parents for our daughter, and all by doing what comes naturally.”
Parent who took my sleep class
“As an expecting parent, the self-paced Newborn Sleep Class was incredibly helpful in guiding me through what to expect with my newborn’s sleep. Kim’s expertise is evident throughout the course, as she frequently references sleep science and attachment theory to support her recommendations.
I now feel more confident in my ability to manage my baby’s sleep, with a clearer understanding of how sleep evolves during the first year and practical strategies for promoting safe and healthy sleep. I’m sure I’ll be returning to this class for guidance once my baby arrives.”
