| 0:00.0 | My philosophy is if it works for you, it works for me. |
| 0:04.0 | So I think there's so many ways to raise your kiddo and people have such different thresholds for working demands and you know what's happening in their home. |
| 0:12.0 | So I think it really does depend. I don't want to say that there's one way for everyone. |
| 0:16.0 | That being said, I think that the time to work on sleep so I often get the question, when's the best time to work on my babies? |
| 0:24.0 | And there's two windows. The first window is somewhere around six weeks to 10 weeks and it's very gentle newborn sleeping. |
| 0:33.0 | It's projecting at what their needs are trying to meet those anticipation rather than being retroactive and being like, oh my god, I think that's a sleeping sign. |

| 1:10.0 | Now if you missed that window or you had a really fussy baby and you had to have them sleeping with you or on your whatever, don't worry. |
| 1:16.0 | Because you can always work on sleep habits later. |
| 1:19.0 | At any time, I work with kids up to age three, four years of age because sleep is a learned habit. |
| 1:25.0 | It's never too late on working on changing habits. |
