I am a huge advocate for safe sleep. In my years of education and research, I have come to realize that social media often gives out or displays unsafe sleep practices. Furthermore, not all doctors or nurses are aware of current safe sleep guidelines and often give out unsafe advice to new parents. While many parents do take the time to research and learn about safe sleep and practice, many parents are still left in the dark on just what safe sleep and a safe nursery look like and may unknowingly be putting their baby's life at risk. This is where I come in and can help you in a non-judgmental way!

Part of your baby planning and sleep consulting with me will include giving you in depth safe sleep and safe nursery set up information, as I want to ensure all babies I help are safe and secure. You will sign a sleep waiver before we start working together acknowledging that you have read all safety information and will follow it. You will need to make the recommended changes to your nursery, if need be, before we start sleep training. I am not held liable if you chose not to follow it without my knowledge.

The terms "co-sleeping" and "bed sharing" are often used to mean the same thing and I am here to change that. Co-sleeping is when a baby is sleeping in your room in their own sleep space such as a bassinet, pack and play or crib. Bed sharing is when your baby is sleeping in your bed with you. Despite many claims out there, there is no tried and true safe way to bed share and sadly, thousands of babies have died from this practice. For this reason, I unfortunately won't work with families who want to continue bed sharing during the sleep training process after receiving the safe sleep education. Not only is it unsafe, but it will inhibit the sleep training process and desired results may not be achieved.

Not to worry, though! If you are currently bed sharing and are looking for ways to move your baby to a safe sleep space and teach them to sleep on their own, I can help you make that transition successfully! I am here to educate and empower you to help your baby have a safe sleep environment. We will go at your pace and use methods you are comfortable with. I truly want to help ensure as many babies as possible are sleeping safely and soundly.
