Baby Sleep Consultant

Hi there! I hope you are enjoying the Sleep, Baby, Sleep® site! If you have already looked through the site, and are still having trouble getting your baby to sleep, then perhaps an individual email consultation would be best. Having a baby sleep consultant guide you and answer all of your questions, will ensure that your baby is getting the sleep that he/she needs. Consultations and sleep plans are always completely personalized for your baby’s unique situation. I believe that there’s no “one size fits all” advice, when it comes to helping a baby sleep. That is why I became a sleep consultant and offer personal consultations. When my baby wasn’t sleeping, despite the massive amount of information on the web, there was nowhere I could turn that would provide guidance based on my baby’s specific situation. As a baby sleep consultant, I take into consideration your baby’s age, sleep history, temperament, and individual circumstances. In other words, I get to know you and your baby before I give you any advice.

Here’s what Sleep, Baby, Sleep can help you work on:

• Frequent night wakings. After I collect your baby’s sleep history, I will determine why your baby is waking frequently and we can begin working on fixing those wakings right away.
• Eliminating props. If your baby needs to be rocked, nursed, or bounced to sleep, and wakes several times a night expecting the same, I will create a step by step sleep plan of how to teach your baby to fall asleep on his/her own so that he/she is not reliant on you to sleep well.
• Night weaning. I will help you determine which feedings your baby still needs at night (if any), and work on which ones he/she is using for comfort. I would never ask you to eliminate all night time feedings unless your baby was ready. We will work closely together to determine this so that you are responding to his/her wakings appropriately. Not responding appropriately to the middle of the night wakings is the #1 reason sleep training fails for most parents. All sleep plans also come with a hunger vs comfort chart that you can use as a guide.
• Sleep schedules. Making sure your baby is following an age-appropriate sleep schedule is an important component of helping your baby sleep well. We will discuss how much sleep your baby should be getting, how many naps and how long, and how long your baby should be awake in between sleep times. Most importantly we will work together to make sure your baby’s sleep is distributed appropriately and that he/she is meeting his/her daily sleep requirements.
• Nap troubles. Babies that have bad sleep habits, often nap poorly and only for about 30-40 minutes. They need to be rocked, fed or even need a car ride or stroller just to nap. I will show you how you can improve your baby’s nap length and quality.
• Pacifier dependency. Does your baby need a pacifier to sleep? Are up all night replacing it? My techniques will help decrease your baby’s dependency on the pacifier so that he/she doesn’t wake and cry when it falls out. There are so many benefits to pacifiers, getting rid of it is not the only option. Unless that is what you would like to do, then we can work on saying bye bye to the binky for good!
• Early morning wakings. When a baby starts waking very early, these wakings can be persistent and difficult to resolve. I will help you work on re-setting your baby’s internal clock so that he or she can start waking at a more reasonable time.
• Sleep Regressions. Sleep regressions are very complex and many times parents offer extra comfort, feedings, and revert to old sleep habits just to get through the regression. I will help your baby get back on track while considering the developmental milestones your baby is going through at the time. There is no reason to put off teaching your baby good sleep habits because of a sleep regression. You just have to figure it into the sleep training plan.
• And much more! Every baby is different and has a unique sleep story. I can’t wait to hear all about your baby and help him/ her finally start getting the sleep that a growing baby needs.

How does a consultation work?

Upon payment of your chosen package, you will receive a welcome email from me with an assessment form. You can tell me all about your baby and his/her sleep problems, and I will email you back the same day. I will discuss with you the reasons I think your baby is not sleeping and outline a step by step plan so that you and your family can start enjoying some more Zzz’s right away. In addition to your plan you will receive charts that will help guide you now and in the future when your baby’s sleep requirements change. You will also receive a “survival guide” for bumps in the road such as regressions, illness, travel, separation anxiety, and teething so that you know exactly how to handle these situations when they come up.

I am a baby and toddler sleep consultant, so I primarily work with children ages newborn to 4 years old. Below are my sleep packages. Keep in mind that for the individual email packages, I don’t charge for emails you send to me. I also never charge for clarifications. If I need to ask more questions so I can strategize a plan, that clarification email does not count towards your package. Neither do emails where I high five you, for a job well done! The prices are listed in USD, but I work with clients all over the world so any currency can be used for payment. Paypal will automatically convert it.

The 2 Week Bundle Package. This package is a good fit for all ages, newborn to toddlers. I will create a customized sleep plan based on your baby’s unique situation, and I will work with you closely to implement the plan and to ensure that you are successful. We will discuss each night in detail, and I will walk you through the entire process. We will also have the opportunity to change the strategy if it’s not working, or if variables come up. In addition to our daily check-in, you can email or text me as often as you need to within your subscription, and ask me questions as they come up. If you have a question or are not sure what to do at nap or bedtime, I will only be an email or text away to walk you through it. I work long hours, so don’t worry communication is never an issue, not even with my international clients. We can start right away, or you can choose a start date if there is a week that is more convenient for you. Parents typically purchase this package to eliminate bad sleep habits and to teach their baby to fall asleep on their own, so that baby can start sleeping through the night. And so the parents can start enjoying some more sleep too! This two week bundle package includes:
