Great question!
Both Baby Sleep Revolution™ and Baby Sleep Unlocked™ are based on the same general sleep science principles and both can help parents achieve fast settling and more restful sleep. But they are different in terms of how they work and who they work best for.
Which one is right comes down to the individual child…
Many little ones only need relatively small adjustments / support to help them settle quickly and sleep better and this is what Baby Sleep Unlocked™ focuses on – making evidence-based tweaks and changes to help support a little one’s natural sleep regulation system and minimise wakefulness going forward. For many parents, it’s all that’s needed.
But some little ones – particularly those with very low sleep needs who have been very wakeful at night for some time – need a more specific/precise approach. This is where the Baby Sleep Revolution™ program comes in. It guides parents through a unique, step-by-step process designed to transition their little one out of a chronically disrupted sleep pattern, and into a consistently restful sleep pattern.
So what I generally recommend to parents is:
If your little one is 5+ months old (adjusted/corrected) and REALLY wakeful at night…
So they’re waking very frequently (hourly/every sleep cycle for some or all of the night), or they’re wide awake or restless for extended periods either every night, or on and off – and they’ve been like this for many weeks or months, and you’re pretty sure low sleep pressure is what’s causing the wakefulness, then Baby Sleep Revolution™ is probably the best option.
Otherwise:
If your little one is wakeful, but not quite that wakeful (you’re managing at the moment but would LOVE to get to a better place so that you can get on with enjoying life), or they’re younger than 5 months (adjusted/corrected), or you’re still trying to figure out what’s causing their wakefulness, then go with Baby Sleep Unlocked™.
Still not 100% sure?
If you’re leaning towards Baby Sleep Revolution™ but you’re not 100% sure, firstly make sure you go through the checklist and watch the video: ‘Is BSR Right For You?’ which you’ll find about halfway down the BSR program page – the video explains exactly how the process works and will help you work out if the program is likely to be a good fit for you and your situation.
If you’re still unsure after that, then Baby Sleep Unlocked™ is probably the best place to start, and may be all you need. Baby Sleep Revolution™ will still be here for you if you decide you need it down the track. Members of Baby Sleep Unlocked™ have access to a special offer where they can get $30 USD off Baby Sleep Revolution™ if they decide to join at a later date. This discount reflects the fact that there is some crossover between the two in terms of the background information / insights that are shared (because they’re both based on the same sleep science, after all!).
I hope this has helped give you clarity!
