In this episode of Ask the Doulas, we sit down with Alyssa Veneklase, pediatric sleep consultant and co-host of Ask the Doulas, to break down the difference between taking an infant or toddler sleep class and working one-on-one with a sleep consultant.

We explore what families can expect from each option, who benefits most from a class versus personalized consulting, and how age, temperament, sleep challenges, and family goals all play a role in choosing the right level of support. Alyssa also shares common misconceptions about sleep training, when parents might want more hands-on guidance, and how education and individualized plans can work together to support better sleep for the whole family.

Whether you’re expecting, navigating the early months, or dealing with toddler sleep struggles, this episode will help you decide which sleep support option makes the most sense for your family.
