The SIP Sleep Method

The SIP Sleep Method: A Simpler Way to Build Better Baby Sleep

Confused by all the baby sleep advice out there?

You're not alone.
So many guides focus on charts, sleep totals, or strict rules—without showing how to actually support your baby day to day.

That’s why I created the SIP Method inside Sleepy Little One.
It’s a gentle, expert-informed approach that helps babies (and parents!) sleep better by focusing on three simple pillars:
Safe. Independent. Predictable.

Let’s break it down.

S is for Safe

Before we build better sleep, we make sure sleep is safe.

That means:

• Baby sleeps alone in a crib, bassinet, or pack 'n play

• Always on their back for every nap and overnight sleep

• No loose blankets, stuffed animals, or pillows—just a sleep sack and a firm mattress

Safe sleep isn’t just for newborns. It supports better sleep quality for babies 2 to 12 months and beyond, and reduces the risk of SIDS.
It’s the foundation of everything we teach in Sleepy Little One.

I is for Independent

Sleep isn’t just a biological need—it’s a learned skill.

We help your baby:

• Settle to sleep without needing to be rocked or fed every time

• Learn to connect sleep cycles on their own

• Practice falling asleep drowsy but awake

You don’t need to do “cry it out” to support independent sleep.
In our course, we guide you through gentle, responsive methods—so you can be present and supportive, while also giving your baby space to grow.

P is for Predictable

Babies thrive on rhythm, not rigidity.

We teach you how to:

• Follow age-appropriate wake windows

• Use a flexible feed-play-sleep routine

• Create soothing, repeatable bedtime and nap time patterns

• Build a consistent sleep environment (dark, cool, white noise)

Predictability reduces fussiness, improves naps, and helps babies know what to expect next.
And it helps you feel more confident every step of the way.

Final Thought

There’s no magic formula for sleep—but there is a method that works.

The SIP Method brings together the three things that matter most:

• Safe sleep practices

• Independent sleep skills

• Predictable daily rhythms

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about building better sleep—together.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
