Become a Certified Baby Sleep Coach. No Sleep Training. Ever.
Explore the Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist Certification with a free 3-week trial course. See real modules from the full program before you decide. No credit card required.
Every other sleep certification asks you to teach methods you would never use on your own baby.
If you have ever searched for sleep training alternatives at 3am, you already know: leaving a baby to cry alone never felt right to you. But knowing something in your gut and being able to explain the science behind it are two different things.
The Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist Certification is the only program of its kind that teaches zero separation-based sleep training. Not softened. Not rebranded as "gentle." None. Instead, you will learn the actual research on infant sleep, attachment, temperament, and the developing nervous system, from the researchers and clinicians doing the work.
When you can cite the science, you stop doubting your instincts. And you can help other families stop doubting theirs.
Try the real thing, free for 3 weeks
This is not a webinar or a sales video. The trial course is a curated selection of actual modules pulled from the full certification, so you can experience the depth, the teaching style, and the philosophy before you invest anything.
- The Baby-Led Sleep Approach™: what makes a developmental approach completely different from behavioral sleep training
- The Sleep Puzzle: our holistic framework for understanding why babies actually wake
- Real expert content: sample lessons from our 40+ contributors in child development, attachment, and family wellness
- Practical application: how certified coaches actually work with tired families
- Our philosophy in action: why we never use separation-based methods, and what we do instead
You get 3 full weeks of access. Explore in any order you like. If it is not for you, you have lost nothing but a few evenings of interesting reading.
Where the trial leads, if you love it
The full certification is 144 modules of evidence-based training: infant sleep science, attachment, temperament, sensory processing, the nervous system, bed-sharing research, and support for real-world situations like NICU graduates and postpartum mental health. You will learn from names you can actually cite, including Professor James McKenna, Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Deborah MacNamara, and Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum.
It is self-paced, roughly 3 hours a week for about 20 weeks, with 2 years to complete and lifetime access after. Business training, presentation kits, and a monthly live Q&A are included, along with a community of coaches around the world. The full program comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
But you do not need to decide any of that today. That is what the trial is for.
What certified coaches say
This is my third sleep certification and I just wish I found it before the others I'd done! It has not only revolutionised my practice as a sleep specialist but also my personal parenting of my three children as well.
Jana Dunbar, Sleep SpecialistThis certification was my 3rd! The training is comprehensive, evidence-informed, and deeply aligned with responsive, relationship-centered care. I left feeling confident, inspired, and better equipped to support families.
tinyclovercoComing from an academic research background, the evidence-based foundation of the program mattered enormously to me, and I was relieved to find an approach that was both rigorous and deeply respectful of each family's instincts.
Nora BourquinI was searching for a sleep course that aligned with my values as a doula and this was exactly the right one to take. Evidence-based, thorough, intriguing. I am excited to expand my services as a doula with sleep support.

Frequently asked questions
Is this just sleep training with softer language?
No. The program teaches zero separation-based methods. Nothing softened, nothing renamed. You will learn a developmental approach grounded in attachment science, not a gentler version of cry-it-out.
Do I need a background in health or childcare?
No. Coaches come from every background: doulas, nurses, midwives, lactation consultants, teachers, and mothers whose own experience brought them here. The program starts from the science and builds up.
Do I get a certificate from the trial?
No. The trial is a free sample of the full certification, not a credential. Certification comes with completing the full program.
What does the trial cost? Is there a catch?
Nothing, and no. No credit card is required to start, and nothing converts to a paid plan automatically. After 3 weeks, your trial access simply ends unless you choose to enroll.
How much time does the trial take?
As much or as little as you like. The modules are self-paced and you can explore them in any order over your 3 weeks.
I already have a sleep certification. Is this redundant?
Several of our coaches came to us with one or two prior certifications, and consistently say they wish they had found this one first. If your current training relies on methods you avoid using, this fills exactly that gap.
