Welcome, New Parents!
Congratulations on stepping into one of the most beautiful – and sometimes overwhelming – journeys of life. The first few months with your baby are filled with love and wonder, but they also bring big questions, especially about sleep.
That’s where “Understanding Your Newborn Baby’s Sleep” comes in. Created by pioneering sleep researcher and counsellor Himani Dalmia, this course is designed to gently guide you through those early months, giving you both the science and the practical tools you need to support your baby’s sleep – without stress or “cry-it-out” methods.
What You’ll Get Inside the Course
- Simple, clear explanations of how newborn sleep really works and what’s normal.
- Gentle strategies to encourage healthy sleep habits from the start.
- Step-by-step lessons on safe sleep setups, managing regressions, feeding challenges, and more.
- Solutions for common struggles – like night wakings, short naps, or your baby waking as soon as you put them down.
- Practical tips for balancing your baby’s needs with your own rest and wellbeing.
Why This Course Is Different This isn’t about forcing your baby into a schedule or ignoring their cries. It’s about understanding your baby’s biology, setting realistic expectations, and giving you confidence as a parent. Like the hundreds of thousands of parents who have already benefitted from Himani’s communities, book and one-to-one consults, this knowledge will help you feel calmer, more attuned, and better supported through those long nights and busy days.
A Gentle Reminder Your baby doesn’t need to “sleep through the night” right away. What they need most is you – responsive, loving, and confident. This course will help you get there while protecting the bond you share.
You’re Not Alone Parenting can feel overwhelming, but with this course you’ll have a trusted guide by your side – helping you through the challenges, celebrating your wins, and reminding you that better sleep really is possible.
Ready to begin? Invest in this course today and give yourself the tools to make your baby’s early months calmer, more joyful, and better rested – for your little one and for you.
Start with Video 1: Understanding Newborn Sleep
This course helped me explain my ways to my husband!
Hi Himani – I wanted to thank you for making such useful videos related to new born baby sleep. I came across this when my baby was 4.5 months and now she is a little over 5.5 months. As a first time parent I realised that baby sleep is one of the most underrated things. We read books and prepare ourselves for a lot of stuff but sleep is never a part of that preparation. If someone asks me what they should be preparing pre-birth, my personal advice to anyone would be learn about baby sleep. Since beginning I have been very particular to build a routine for her but she still wasn’t sleeping well and your course has helped me find those mistakes and make the tweaks.
I think everything was explained really well. No feedback on that.
The parts that really stood out for us were the bits around how much sleep is needed, nap bridging, sleep associations, sleeping and feeding and entire module 5 (this was most helpful as we were literally going through it and had no idea what hit us that everything changed)
It also restored my confidence as it made me understand the things I have been doing right and how they are making an overall impact on her development. In my husband’s words “I am obsessed with my daughter’s sleep” and at times it’s been hard to explain what I am saying. Your videos have helped my explaining my husband and he finally accepts it since it coming from an expert and not just chatgpt or google. So thank you once again for all your hard work in this.
