How Sleep Training Can Benefit Your Child for Life
Sleep is more than rest—it’s a critical part of your child’s emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Yet many families across Philadelphia and surrounding areas struggle with bedtime battles, night wakings, and inconsistent sleep patterns. At Restful Sleep MD, Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown offers personalized, evidence-based sleep training that empowers families to build healthy sleep habits from infancy through childhood.
What Is Sleep Training?
Sleep training is a structured, compassionate approach that helps children learn how to fall asleep independently and stay asleep throughout the night. It’s not about “crying it out”—it’s about understanding your child’s unique sleep needs and creating a soothing, reliable routine that supports their growth and your peace of mind.
Whether you’re dealing with bedtime resistance, multiple night wakings, or short naps, sleep training provides the tools you need to guide your child toward better rest.
Who Can Benefit from Sleep Training?
Children of all ages can benefit from healthy sleep foundations, especially:
Infants who have difficulty settling to sleep on their own
Toddlers struggling with bedtime routines or frequent wakings
Preschoolers experiencing disrupted sleep or overtiredness
In fact, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, nearly 25-50% of children experience sleep problems at some point. Left unaddressed, these issues can impact mood, behavior, academic performance, and family well-being.
At Restful Sleep MD, we help families in Philadelphia, Montgomery County, and the Main Line create lasting sleep solutions that match their child’s age, temperament, and developmental stage.
