Parents of young babies globally have the idea that parenthood and sleeplessness go hand-in-hand. Many people think parenthood means signing up for long bouts of sleepless nights and crying babies. However, Ann Marks disagrees. Her signature method, The Full Feeding Method, is changing the way parents look at infant sleep.
Ann Marks, a single mother of three (including twins), developed The Full Feedings Method to be implemented from birth to help parents achieve consistent nighttime sleep without the popular “sleep training” method of “crying it out.” The Full Feedings Method helps parents meet the baby’s sleep and food needs adequately at every age, making sure the baby is fully fed, not too tired at any time, and not sleeping too much during the day. With these three conditions met and age-appropriately managed every day, a baby will be able to sleep naturally when it’s supposed to without having to “cry it out.”
The Full Feedings Method can be implemented for babies of all ages, and interested parents can access it through a membership based program that costs $9.99/month (3-month minimum). Joining this life-changing program offers sleep to any parent who wants it and has all the ingredients to maintain consistent nighttime sleep. The Online Program also offers various other levels of phone and/or email support. Ann Marks’ commitment to putting an end to the acceptance of sleep deprivation for parents inspired the development of The Full Feedings Method Online Program. “My method can begin from birth and involves no crying. It also encourages parents to hold and help their babies to sleep, which is good for sleep and mental health,” Ann said.
With The Full Feedings Method, parents get access to a simple three-step method that explains how to establish and maintain consistent nighttime sleep. The program also features monthly guides that show parents what an age-appropriate routine looks like for their baby, and over 80 additional videos and over 50 PDFs to help parents troubleshoot their own eating and sleep problems.
Building The Full Feedings Method stemmed from Ann Marks’ love for sleeping, and she was not going to let parenthood put an end to that. She saw that many parents, especially mothers, had been conditioned to lose their sleep and wondered why it had to be so. These parents also believed that the only way to get their babies to sleep is to let them cry, something that makes the parents themselves uncomfortable. Thus, she set out to figure it out and came up with The Full Feedings Method, which has solved that problem for many parents. “I honestly just wanted my daughter to sleep so that I could sleep too,” she said. “That was my only goal. I was searching for a method that would get my daughter sleeping through the night as quickly as possible, without compromising her needs at any time or leaving her to “cry it out.” I wanted something flexible and gentle yet effective. I decided to create an alternative – a full night of sleep for any parent who wants it, without having to sleep-train their baby.”
For a minimum of $29.97, Ann Marks hopes that parents will choose sleep for their family from birth so they can set their baby up for a lifetime of great sleep and allow themselves to go from surviving to thriving in parenthood.
