Gift of Sleep · Understanding before guidance
Help me understand
my baby.
You don’t have to know what’s wrong. Start with what you’re seeing.
First, understand the process and your part in it. You can read without creating an account.

A different beginning
Most sleep programs begin with what to do.
Gift of Sleep begins by figuring out what is actually happening.
Your baby eats, grows, wakes, and needs you. These things change through the day. That is why one hard moment cannot tell the whole story.
We don’t hand your baby a schedule. Their body helps us find one.
Read about Amanda’s methodHow it works
We watch the whole day,
not one hard moment.
Sleep, waking, feeding, time awake, and settling belong to the same day. Seeing them together helps us notice which signs stay, which change, and when changing sleep signs come together and sleep becomes possible.
- 01
Keep a record
Record sleep, waking, feeding, time awake, and settling. Mirror keeps these factual observations together.
- 02
Look across the day
One moment is a clue. Time shows the pattern. What surrounds sleep gives each sleep opportunity its context.
- 03
Explore a next step
In guided Sleep Discovery, Grace uses Amanda's method and the baby's record to guide what comes next.
- 04
Notice the response
Report what your baby does and what changes. Their response helps shape the next step, rather than becoming a permanent rule.
Recording and guided Discovery are different choices. Mirror is the free factual record; creating a record does not activate paid, individualized Sleep Discovery guidance.
Your part
You are still
the caregiver.
Grace works with what you record and report. You do not have to calculate the patterns yourself, but your observations and your baby’s care remain yours.
Account setup asks for baby and account details, timezone confirmation, a password, adult authority, and a separate Lab choice. It is not an anonymous conversation.
- 01
Record sleep, waking, feeding, and settling. Share what you notice and tell Grace when something changes.
- 02
Prepare a safe sleep environment. Meet feeding and physical needs, monitor your baby, and respond to their needs.
- 03
During Discovery, participate in the next step and report your baby’s response. Grace does not watch your baby.
The independent-sleep transition
Discovery includes a move from being put to sleep by someone else to experiencing how your baby’s own body falls asleep. Crying may be part of that transition.
Gift of Sleep never trains a baby to sleep. This does not mean there is no change in how your baby settles, or that there will be no crying. You remain responsible for care, observation, and responding to needs; appropriate care is never withheld.
Read the transition and caregiver guideGift of Sleep is educational sleep support, not medical care. Illness, breathing, feeding, growth, pain, development, or an urgent change belong with a pediatric clinician.
When to call your pediatricianEvery moment is a new moment.
A response is something to observe, not a permanent label for your baby. What changes across the day helps shape what comes next.
Mirror is free at every age. Guided Discovery is a separate paid choice; the fit and offer are below.
Understanding the guidance
Amanda’s method.
Your baby’s record.
In guided Discovery, Grace uses Amanda's method and the family’s record to guide the next step. General knowledge helps frame the questions; what you record and report supplies the observations about your baby.
Public reading and the optional orientation explain Gift of Sleep. They do not evaluate your baby or provide individualized Grace guidance.
Grace is an AI-assisted guide constrained by project-governed rules derived from Amanda's method. Its responses are generated or assembled by software; they are not Amanda's words unless she is explicitly quoted. Amanda is not personally typing each response, and no one watches the conversation live. Grace is not a clinician, an order, emergency care, or a live-monitored service.
Why Grace exists
A way of paying attention,
carried forward.
Amanda Rosenkilde built the method through years of guiding families herself. Parents shared what their babies did across the day. Amanda watched how the signs changed and helped families understand what they saw.
That way of paying attention meant holding each baby’s changes across days. One person could carry only a few babies deeply at a time. Grace originated from the need to carry Amanda’s way of paying attention beyond one person’s capacity.

“Her one-on-one guidance and reassurance kept us grounded. We finally felt like we could read our son's cues instead of guessing.”

Read before you decide
Start with the question
keeping you awake.
Clear educational guides can help you understand what may be happening before you decide what to change. The Library is open to read without an account or an orientation.

Begin with the observations that can make a confusing pattern easier to see.

Why babies wake at night
A clear look at normal waking, hunger, growth, and the value of watching the whole day.
Fit and commitment
What you’re choosing.
Begin with a free record. Choose guided Sleep Discovery separately, if it fits your baby and your family.
Gift of Sleep supports your baby through the move to one nap. After that, sleep often becomes more connected to family boundaries and parenting choices. That part belongs to you.
Under 3 months, Mirror stays open for observation. Newborn sleep is different; guided Discovery does not begin yet.
Record newborn interestAt 15 months or older, Mirror remains open for observation while older-child sleep and family-boundary choices stay outside guided Discovery.
Record interest for an older babyBoth links use the same non-urgent interest form. It is not an application, enrollment, consultation booking, or promise that Amanda will respond personally.
- Free record
- Mirror is free at every age. It preserves factual observations; it is not paid, individualized Discovery guidance.
- Guided Sleep Discovery
- One 14-day guided container for one baby. $99 USD once, with no subscription. It does not guarantee a sleep outcome.
- Eligibility and pilot capacity
- The supervised pilot is limited to the first ten verified eligible families with babies 3–14 completed months. Identity and age checks, adult consent, payment, staff availability, and safety checks still apply.
- Guidance and safety
- Grace is an AI-assisted guide, not Amanda personally responding. Conversations are not watched live. Gift of Sleep is educational sleep support, not medical or emergency care. Care and safety remain the caregiver’s responsibility.
This opens free account and record setup—not a purchase or automatic entry into Discovery.

A non-urgent note
Record your interest.
This form collects only your name and email for a non-urgent note of interest. Do not send health, safety, infant, eligibility, identity, payment, or application information. It is not monitored live, has no guaranteed response time, is not an application or enrollment, and does not promise that Amanda will respond personally.
