BABY NOT SLEEPING WELL?
GET HELP TODAY FROM BOSTON'S
PEDIATRIC SLEEP CONSULTANT

I AM HERE TO HELP
I received my sleep certification through the Center of Pediatric Sleep Management in 2019 and have since supported over 1000 families achieve the goal of improved sleep, working with babies as young as a few weeks old to children as old as 6 years old. As a mother of three, I get it on a personal level, too- sleep is essential to a functioning, happy, and healthy family!
Teaching a baby to sleep well is an art, not a science. There is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach to improved sleep, as every child and family is unique with their own habits, styles, preferences, and needs. As such, my philosophy as a sleep consultant is to offer my expertise and work collaboratively with families to develop a customized approach so that they can follow through and get the results they are so eager to achieve.
As your sleep consultant, I will work closely with you to select and refine an approach that you feel comfortable with, possibly pulling from several methods to strike the right balance for you & your child. With consistency, commitment, and a bit of tenacity, we will work to give you & your child the gift of improved sleep!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY IS MY BABY/CHILD STRUGGLING TO SLEEP? There are a number of factors that can cause either short-term or long-term sleep troubles: being overtired, overstimulated, or an inability to self-soothe; having an inappropriate sleep schedule, suboptimal sleeping environment, or lacking an effective bedtime routine; or development milestones, illness, or physical discomfort.
WHEN CAN I SLEEP TRAIN MY BABY? While we can work to instill healthy sleep habits from day 1, babies are not developmentally ready for sleep coaching until they are at least 3 months old. Newborn sleep is unpredictable and not yet organized in any way. At 12-16 weeks, baby’s sleep shifts & develops significantly where their circadian rhythm/biological sleep clock matures, which means they will begin to follow a more clock-based schedule. At this age, with some sleep coaching and modification of old habits, babies are able to link their sleep cycles to length naps and consolidate nighttime sleep.
WHAT EXACTLY IS “SLEEP TRAINING”? Sleep training is the process that parents go through to help their babies fall asleep independently and optimize the benefits of restorative, consistent sleep. Sleep training involves changing the parent’s behavior, as the parent is likely reinforcing the behavior that is needed to be fixed (thus, we are changing the child’s behavior by revising the parent’s behavior!). There are a variety of methods for teaching babies and children the gift of independent sleep- some include much parental involvement while others include providing children with gradually increasing intervals of time on their own until they fall asleep. Sleep training includes setting up age-appropriate sleep schedules, bedtime routines, and sleep environments, and essentially establishing the optimal conditions for children to sleep.
I AM HESITANT TO LET MY BABY CRY. I get it. No parent likes to hear their baby cry. It feels counter-intuitive to willingly allow your baby to cry and many parents worry that the crying involved in many sleep training methods will harm their baby. However, many parents find themselves in an unsustainable sleep situation due to lack of sleep from nighttime parenting, which can have a deleterious effect on maternal mental health. With buzzing social media feeds, endless google searches, and conflicting research studies, it can be overwhelming and difficult to know how to best navigate sleep training while keeping your baby’s well-being and safety a top priority. As such, I wrote a comprehensive article addressing this common concern which includes a meta-analysis of the current research on sleep training.
