Discover How Huckleberry Creates Customized Sleep Help for Newborns

You may be wondering exactly how Huckleberry can help you and your newborn get more sleep. The answer? A sleep plan made specifically for your family and tailored to your needs. Our step-by-step guide will help you: (a) navigate sleep during the newborn stage, and (b) set your child up for success as they progress to the next stage of development.

The making of a comprehensive sleep guide

Due to your newborn’s physiology, sleep can be a bit unpredictable during the first few months. We can’t expect sleep to be “perfect” right now. However, we can work to maximize sleep and begin to establish a solid foundation for a lifetime of healthy sleep habits. Our dedicated team of sleep consultants and developers will create a comprehensive strategy for you, to help improve sleep now and set the stage for better sleep as your child grows.

Our Huckleberry sleep experts are the top in the field, selected for their training in evidence-based practices and deep experience. We’re also parents who understand how crucial sleep is for the health and wellbeing of a family. That’s why we give each plan the personal attention needed to ensure your family meets their sleep goals.

We’ll include essential information on what sleep patterns you can expect at this age, how to settle your baby, steps to progress to better sleep and prevent issues down the road. Since feeding and environment can have a big impact on sleep, we’ll cover those topics too.

Let’s take a look behind the scenes:

First we get to know you

We’ll initially get acquainted through your submitted profile. We’ll note your child’s age, whether they were born prematurely, and anything else that may play a role in your recommendations.

We study your child’s sleep patterns

Next, we’ll take a look at any sleep data you’ve provided. (You’ll have the option of logging your child’s sleep, or briefly summarizing their sleep patterns from our multiple choice options. We understand that parents of newborns need flexibility and we want to make the process as simple as possible!) This will help us determine if we need to work on issues like day-night confusion, increasing overall sleep, or consolidating sleep.

We review your questionnaire responses

Then, we take a close look at your survey responses. If you’ve already completed our adaptive questionnaire, you’ll notice the questions we ask are pretty detailed. Your answers provide key information about your little one’s sleep habits, your parenting style and sleep goals. This helps us formulate a plan that fits your individual family. 

Over the years, our Huckleberry families have had a broad array of questions when it comes to their home environment, daycare, or balancing the needs of their other children. We have families with very fussy babies who have a hard time sleeping. Other newborns sleep all day, causing parents to wonder whether they should wake them up or not. No matter what they are, we make sure that your guide addresses your specific concerns and goals.

The algorithms ensure high quality and a second opinion

We should also mention one more thing that makes Huckleberry special - the data science! The data scientist creators behind Huckleberry have come up with an ingenious way to use your sleep data (when logged) and survey answers to create algorithms that generate the age-appropriate sample schedules/routines for your child. It also identifies patterns and suggests likely issues and solutions. Having both algorithms and a sleep consultant go over your data and plan is like getting two specialist reviews at once.

Your advice evolves as your child grows

The best thing? Huckleberry Premium members can receive updates as their baby matures and develops. Just as your child’s nutritional needs change over time, sleep needs and capabilities change as well. We’ve got you covered.

We look forward to diving in and being a part of your parenting journey. Get ready to head for blissful sleep!
