When a consultant might be the right choice
We believe in being honest about where LunaCradle fits. A human sleep consultant may be a better fit if:
Your baby has a diagnosed medical condition affecting sleep (severe reflux, sleep apnea, neurological conditions)
You need hands-on emotional support and someone to talk through anxiety with in real-time
Your pediatrician has recommended specialist evaluation for sleep-disordered breathing
For the majority of families dealing with typical sleep challenges — night wakings, short naps, bedtime resistance, regressions — LunaCradle provides the same evidence-based guidance at a fraction of the cost, with ongoing plan adjustments that most consultants don't include.
Same research, different delivery
Both good consultants and LunaCradle draw from the same evidence base: peer-reviewed research published in Pediatrics, BMJ, Sleep, and aligned with AAP, NHS, and WHO guidelines. The difference is access and cost.
