Having one child not sleeping is tough enough, but having two is pure torture. This was the reality for a family that came to us, utterly sleep-deprived and desperately seeking help. They had tried “waiting it out” and tried everything on their own with little results.
Mom Gabi recalls, “I was feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.” She didn't know where to begin.
Their 8-month-old daughter was waking multiple times each night, needing help to go back to sleep. Their almost 2.5-year-old son also required his parents to fall asleep, with bedtime taking hours. The family spent little quality time together, as both parents were constantly trying to get each child to sleep. Every day felt like a fog, and the lack of sleep was taking a tremendous toll on them.
With two little ones needing sleep training, they needed a detailed, step-by-step plan and guidance.
They found the solution in the Your Dream Plan Program.
The first step was to assess the root of each child's sleep issues. We then crafted a customized plan considering the family’s goals, parenting style, lifestyle, and strategies they felt comfortable implementing.
Once we had a comprehensive plan addressing all the factors affecting sleep, we moved on to implementation. This phase is often the hardest and where many parents struggle. Questions inevitably arise, and having someone guide you through the process not only speeds things up but also makes success much more achievable.
We closely monitored this family’s progress, checking in weekly through logs and coaching calls. They had access to our troubleshooting group to ask questions anytime, and we thoroughly reviewed their plan.
In less than a week, Luna dropped all her night feeds and began sleeping 12 hours straight, going down happily in her crib and needing to be woken up in the mornings.
Loris, their 2.5-year-old, quickly understood the bedtime expectations. We established a consistent and predictable bedtime routine and incorporated essential toddler parenting strategies.
“I feel like a new person, a new mom and wife. The kids are sleeping through the night, going to sleep happy and independently. We are all more rested and happy,” Gabi shared.
The best part about the Your Dream Plan program was that we could work with both children simultaneously, providing personalized support for each. The program included specialized modules for toddlers (18 months and up) and babies, all in one comprehensive package.
Gabi was impressed by the level of support, noting, “I have used other sleep consultants in the past, but our relationship never went beyond one phone call.”
