It may be strange to think that sleeping is a skill that does not come naturally. As a new parent, you are often so exhausted that you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. Your newborn, however, does not yet possess this ability. Although they spend most of their time sleeping, they need to learn when to sleep and how to sleep. Sleep training is essentially teaching your baby how to sleep without assistance from you.

Because there is so much conflicting information out there, most parents are confused, exhausted, and frustrated. At Leva, we provide evidence-based information and access to professional sleep-training coaching sessions to help you and your baby get that much-needed rest.
