My interest in baby sleep began during my third trimester with my son. Everyone kept telling me, "Sleep now, because you won’t once the baby arrives!"—and that thought terrified me. As someone who truly cherishes (and needs) my sleep, I wanted to make sure we had the tools to help our baby develop healthy sleep habits from day one.

So, I dove into research, determined to find strategies that would allow my husband and I to avoid the exhaustion we’d heard so much about. The last thing I wanted was to be running on empty, as I don’t function well on little or poor sleep.

Fortunately, our son turned out to be a pretty good sleeper from the start. But we still faced challenges—figuring out optimal awake windows, handling early mornings, and dealing with regressions and developmental milestones.

A year later, my passion for baby sleep only grew. I decided to pursue sleep consultant training through Sweet Sleep Academy, drawn to their evidence-based curriculum from trusted sources, and their responsive, holistic approach to sleep.

If you’re unsure about sleep training and whether it’s right for your family, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d be happy to chat about my approach before you commit to a service.
