Who Is the Dr Golly Sleep Program For?

For Newborns, Toddlers, and Preschoolers

Whether you’re navigating the unpredictable early weeks with a newborn or trying to stop bedtime battles with your toddler, there’s a specific plan for your child’s age. The program adapts as your child grows, covering everything from night feeds and wind management to toddler bed time boundaries and beyond.

How Dr Golly’s Sleep Program Helps Tired Parents

Gives You a Clear Plan (No More Guesswork)

No more Googling at 3am. The Dr Golly Sleep Program gives you a structured, step-by-step roadmap based on your baby’s age and needs. From day one, you’ll know what to do, when to do it, and why it works.

Reduces Night Wake-Ups and Bedtime Stress

By removing common sleep hurdles and teaching gentle but effective techniques, many families see big improvements, including longer stretches of sleep, calmer bedtimes, and more predictability throughout the day.

From around 6 weeks of age (or when babies reach 5–6kg), most can start sleeping from 11pm to 7am. From 6 months (on 3 solid meals a day), many can sleep through the night from 7pm to 7am.

Helps Parents Feel Confident and Supported

This isn’t just about sleep. It’s about empowering you with knowledge, reducing anxiety, and helping you tune in to your baby’s cues. You’ll also find strategies that promote shared parenting — including meaningful involvement of dads and non-breastfeeding partners.

We understand that sometimes your baby or child will be on the tail end of one Dr Golly age based program and just about ready to start a new one.

The age appropriate routines are uniquely set for your babies needs at that specific time, a few things to keep in mind are:
– If you have a premmie baby the Dr Golly Sleep Program recommends age correction until 6 months of age
– We have set the Sleep Bundle Deal at a very discounted price point as we believe each age based program plays an essential role in guiding you through the needs of your baby at that time
– You can start the program at any age 0-5 years, it’s never too late to start healthy sleep routines

If you only want to start out purchasing one course here are our general recommendations on when we think you should go with one program over the other:
– If you baby is 2 weeks or older: go with the Little Baby 4-16 week program
– If your baby is 15 weeks or younger go for the Little Baby 4-16 week program
– If you baby is 15 weeks or older: go with the Big Baby 4-8 month program
– If your baby is 7 months or younger stay in Big Baby 4-8 month program
– If you baby is over 7 months sleeping 12 hours through the night look at the Pre-Toddler: 8-12 months program
