Encouraging Words From Sleeping Parents:
“When our daughter stopped sleeping through the night at four months old, our friends told us we just had to "get through it." We struggled to figure out why she suddenly developed sleep issues, and tried a dozen different things to help the problem. We were not being consistent in our approach and had no confidence in our ability to get her to sleep. We were trying to "get through it," but we were failing.
Hiring Jen was our best decision since becoming parents. Although there is no magical sleep wand, Jen became the little sleep fairy sitting on our shoulder every night helping us train our daughter to self-soothe. She diligently reviewed our sleep logs and helped us problem solve our daughter's sleep issues. Throughout the process, Jen was supportive and non-judgmental, and provided specific, concrete solutions for us. She helped us understand what we could expect from our daughter and helped us to see the incredible progress she was making - progress which is easy to ignore when you are exhausted! We could not have done this on our own because we did not know what to look for and were too exhausted to even think through the problem logically. Jen helped us develop confidence in our ability to help our daughter sleep, which led to more consistency in our approach to sleep, which in turn led to more consistent sleep for our daughter and us!
When we started the process with our five-month old daughter, we worked on gentle sleep shaping, including transitioning our daughter to the crib from a cradle that we used to help her reflux. Her sleep issues gradually improved over several weeks, and after a few weeks, when she was old enough to truly develop self-soothing skills, her sleep issues seemed to substantially resolve over the course of a few days. The sleep shaping framework we established caused everything else - including her naps and nighttime feed schedule - to fall into place.
Throughout the process, we learned a great deal about our daughter's specific sleep needs. However, Jen never advocated a rigid schedule; instead, we learned what guidelines to follow with our daughter so that when we need to be flexible in her schedule, we also know how to adapt the rest of our day to encourage her sleep.
Gentle sleep coaching provides an important advantage over other methods. Unlike a cry-it-out method - in which the child is simply exhausted into sleep - we learned about our daughter's actual sleep needs, which takes the guess work out of the process, both day and night. It is a more long-term solution, which puts judgment in our hands as parents.
When we started sleep shaping, our daughter was up two to four times every night, and took up to an hour to put to bed. Through Jen, we have learned the keys to encourage good sleep habits and our daughter has successfully learned to self-soothe. Bedtime has become a much shorter process and we no longer dread it. In fact, it is one of our most treasured times. And the whole family is now sleeping through the night.
With the exhaustion and the confusion that accompanies new parenthood, I do not know how we would have made such progress in such little time. Jen helped us feel that we were not alone and that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. We are so grateful for all of her help and support!”
