Why Your Baby Isn’t Sleeping

You've tried everything ...

From new schedules to changing wake windows, to different sleep products, to following every tip the internet throws at you… and nothing changes. Your baby still wakes multiple times at night. Naps are unpredictable. You’re exhausted and starting to doubt yourself. This isn’t happening because you’re doing something wrong.

Why isn’t it working? ...
  • Your baby’s development shifts faster than their routine does;

  • their routine doesn’t match what their body actually needs to sleep well.

  • Feeding and wake windows can easily fall out of sync,

  • and you’re receiving advice that doesn’t fit your baby.

How to fix your baby's sleep?

Sleep improves fast when the method actually fits your baby, and most methods online simply don’t

Sleep isn’t one-size-fits-all.

It’s highly individual, that’s why your baby needs a plan built for them, for their own mix of biology, temperament, development, feeding needs, and environment. As a newborn sleep consultant, my job is to take all of that into account so you’re not guessing or trying to force a method that was never designed for your baby.

A Custom Plan for your baby

You need a plan that matches your child and provides you clear guidance so you are confident applying it at home.
With a custom plan you and your baby will finally get longer sleep stretches, calmer nights, smoother days, and far less overwhelm for everyone.

How I Help Your Baby Sleep

1

Sleep Snapshot

I provide a quick, personalized review of your child's sleep so you know what's driving the problem and what to change first.  

2

Full Assessment & Root-Cause Breakdown

Once I know the root problem, I build a full clear, custom plan for your child. It's built for your baby's temperament, development, and feeding needs - plus support while you implement. Easy to follow, gentle to apply, and aligned with their development, so independent sleep becomes natural, not forced.

Ongoing Support 

Babies change fast. That’s why you can reach me by call, text, or email when something shifts or feels confusing. We adjust things in real time and keep progress steady so you're not doing this alone.

Most families notice early progress in the first week with consistency, with stronger change in 1–2 weeks.

FAQ

Do you use cry-it-out or anything I might be uncomfortable with?

No. I use a gentle and responsive approach, and I would never do anything that goes against your comfort level.

Will this work if my baby only sleeps when being held, rocked, or fed?

That's normal, I will help guide you to make your baby sleep independently.

How long does it take to see results?

Every baby is different, but many families start seeing progress within a few days when the plan is followed consistently.
