“Wonderful and life changing!

If you want to sleep again...contact Lily. She helped me get my baby to sleep through the night and nap in the crib. I couldn’t have done it without her continued support.

She is the best cheerleader for those very difficult moments when you just want to give up.

Thank you Lily!! You are the best” – Alana Hurov

Reflux baby, from waking every 1-2 hours overnight to sleeping 12 hours at night with 2 good naps a day.

Case Study: Katherine – 5 months old.

Katherine was 5 months (17 weeks) when we began working together on her sleep plan. Katherine was waking up every two hours at night and her naps were inconsistent throughout the day. Mom was holding her for all naps and feeding/rocking to sleep. Katherine was also in the snuggle me for most naps and night sleep. Needless to say mom was exhausted and sleep deprived.

Mom’s goals were to establish a consistent daytime routine for naps, to help Katherine learn to self-settle and create healthy sleep habits and to have Katherine sleeping longer stretches at night and independently for naps (without holding or the snuggle me).

Mom did a fantastic job at implementing the plan, she was committed and work diligently to provide Katherine with the best environment possible for sleep. She set her up for success in every way!

Katherine transitioned out of the snuggle me within days. She transitioned into a sleep sack and mom instituted a great bedtime routine. Katherine was often spitting up, so her feeds were adjusted.

After a week of implementing a settling technique for Katherine, she was sleeping the entire night all by herself.

We had a home consult to then work on her naps. It took 20 minutes and Katherine was going down for naps easily with minimal crying and soon connecting her sleep cycles on her own.

Her naps lengthened from no longer than 30 minutes at the start of our work together, to almost 2 hours. She was also sleeping all night and self-settling for bedtime. Mom was only feeding once in the morning by the end of our time together.

Mom gained great insights into sleep and was able to troubleshoot her schedule when naps were short, or something threw off her day. Mom became an expert in knowing what Katherine needed and how to approach sleep. Katherine is now a well-rested, happy, sweet natured little girl.

After successfully sleeping all night now, we know there can be setbacks and adjustments along the way, I know mom is now equipped with the knowledge that she needs to combat any problem and Katherine has mastered independent sleep so well. It was a pleasure working with Alana and Katherine. They have a wonderful family and now some great sleep habits for the future.

“We will never be able to fully express our gratitude to Lily for giving us our quality of life back! We sleep now more than ever and most importantly our babies sleep 12 hour nights and nap 2 hours during the day.
Lily is the fairy godmother in our fairytale. I say fairytale, because we would never have imaged we would have such great little sleepers with having twins in the same room. But that was no problem for Lily: she knew exactly what to do! Lily’s support was invaluable in our journey to sleep.
Lily is compassionate, understanding, encouraging, knowledgable, friendly and extremely supportive! When she says she is a call away she really is - she was always right there with us whenever we needed her.
Lil Baby Sleep Consulting has been the best investment we have made in our babies and for the quality of life of our family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lily! We will be forever grateful to you!”
