During routine visits mothers and fathers mention short naps, night waking, and bedtime tears. Yet a survey of 152 paediatric training programmes in ten countries found an average of only 4.4 teaching hours on child-sleep care — with one quarter of programmes offering none at all.​ That gap leaves many healthcare professionals leafing through blogs at midnight while families wait for clear answers.

The International Institute of Infant Sleep (IIISleep) fills that gap. Its course of study moves step-by-step through the first years of life – newborn sleep, infant routines, toddler resistance, preschool fears – and pairs each stage with case work and mentor feedback. The design keeps theory short, then asks learners to apply it in sample charts, diary reviews, and parent-friendly plans.​

What Healthcare Professionals Say About the Training Program

“It’s a life changing experience on both personal and professional levels.”​

“The team has been incredibly supportive and helpful, even before I registered. ”

“The training program is designed to cover in detail all aspects that can affect children’s sleep. This course is a great investment in knowledge”​

“I liked this course even though English is not my native language. All information is presented clearly and structured. I used some tips and recommendations to my patients even during my studies.”

“All the information is presented clearly and accessibly, with numerous additional resources they also provide.”

“I found the practical exercises very helpful. Also, access to knowledgeable and experienced mentors who provided guidance, feedback, and support was crucial for my professional development”

These comments repeat across all reviews about International Institute of Infant Sleep about their sleep consultant training program. Graduates say the lessons read clearly and follow a sensible order. Case studies mirror situations they meet at work, which lets them apply what they learn. They praise the quick, detailed feedback from mentors and describe the staff as helpful and present. Ready-made tools – sleep logs, parent questionnaires, and wake-window charts – slot straight into daily practice. The course presents several coaching styles rather than one fixed system, and the online platform allows each learner to move at a pace that fits busy shifts. Reviewers who speak English as a second language mention that they can follow the content comfortably.​

The science may be complex, but families need clear steps. The International Institute of Infant Sleep turns research into actions healthcare professionals can use at the next appointment – closing a long-standing education gap and giving tired households a better night’s rest.
