Dana is an absolute pleasure to work with! Before reaching out Calder was fighting HARD at bedtime and naps. He would wake up 2-3 times at night. After speaking with Dana she created a structured plan for us to implement and within days Calder was going down easier and sleeping through the night. By the end of two weeks Calder would be asleep before we left the room without a peep. Our nights are easier and our baby is happier!
My little boy was up 2-3 times a night at 10-11 weeks. I was anxious about heading back to work and having a baby who was still waking up at night. Nervous to put him in the crib without any sleep props due to a little sister whose room was so close to the babies. That is where Susan entered…She helped me stay SANE! She walked me through a plan (even though I was SO HESITANT!) and was there to answer all my questions, giving me feedback and always be an ear for listening. It wasn’t long before Luke was sleeping through the night. Now that Luke is 5 months, we can relax at night knowing that Luke will put himself to sleep every night and STAY asleep! Susan, Thank you! We appreciate you more than you will ever know!
Dana -I just wanted to send a note to thank you again for everything you have done for us in such a short time!!! I cannot thank you enough for all you help, but most importantly all of your words of encouragement along the way. It put my mind at ease knowing how similar our personalities are and knowing I can have both structure AND flexibility and everything will be OK at the end of the day!!! I also appreciate all of your advice with being a new stay at home mom. It has been a huge adjustment for me and is great to hear from someone with experience 🙂 Now that Finley is sleeping, she is so wonderful to be around and it has made my decision to stay home that much more rewarding!!! You have made us a very happy (and well rested of course) family and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!! When we hung up I looked at Mike and said well now I’m sad we won’t talk to her hahah so looking forward to our next touch base. I attached a little picture of Finley so you could see just how happy my sweet girl is after a good nights sleep!! 🤗 Thank you again, and hope you and your family have a wondering rest of the holiday season!!!
Kelsey Hotchkiss helped my family so very much through my 5 month old transition to two naps! We were really struggling with short naps and random night wakings and things are so much better already. Her help was invaluable. As I write this, he is going on an hour and a half nap! Another successful 2 nap day for my baby! I cannot recommend Kelsey and Sleep Wise enough!
With just a few weeks to go before going back to work, I was feeling nervous about having to wake up twice or three times a night with our 10 week-old son, and his naps were all over the place. He was heavily reliant on the pacifier most of the day, and sometimes for sleep. Following a recommendation from a friend, I hired Jeannine to work with us on his sleep and reduce his night time waking to one feed, and to teach him to self-sooth without the pacifier. I was skeptical and nervous about losing the pacifier, but the ease with which he learned the skills and started putting himself to sleep without crying or with just minor fussing made all the hard work and loss of pacifier worth while. Just two weeks after we started the sleep training with Jeannine, our little guy is going to sleep around 7 p.m. and waking up for one middle-of-the-night feed and going right back to bed until 7 a.m.. His naps are frequently two hours long and he practically jumps from our arms into his bed when he’s ready to sleep. Even with a third child, I was second-guessing my every move when it came to his sleep. Hiring a sleep consultant, took the decision-making away and offered me support and expertise, which is just what I needed.
Sleep Wise Consulting was recommended to me through an online mommy group, and I am so thankful I took the leap and contacted them. Kelsey was our consultant, and she is amazing! I really appreciated how she talked me through everything and listened as I told her about our sleep struggles. You could tell she sincerely cared about our family and wanted to help us get the restful sleep we needed. The plan Kelsey put together for us was the miracle we had been waiting for and had our son sleeping through the night in 4 days!!! This is something we tried and failed to accomplish over the course of 8 months. My only regret was not calling Sleep Wise sooner. Thanks so much, Kelsey!
Working with Dana for the 2nd time around was a dream just like the 1st time! She is so encouraging, understanding, and willing to put herself in your shoes to come up with the perfect sleep plan for your baby. We are so grateful for her and couldn’t be more proud of both our sleeping 2 year old and 3 month old! Thanks Sleep Wise!
I’m going to be honest and say I had every reservation about hiring a sleep consultant and every single one of them was proved wrong. My only regret is that I didn’t chose to work with Megan sooner. After talking with us, she warned it may take the whole program – but she listened to us and our concerns and our little one has not only slept Through the night since night TWO, but put himself to sleep – something we didn’t see happening for a long time. Working with Megan changed my marriage, my parenting, and my life! I cannot recommend her enough. If you are hesitating – pull the trigger and book the consult!!!! You won’t be disappointed.
Our son has always had a difficult time going to sleep without my husband or I laying with him and he would wake up frequently in the middle of the night. He would not go back to sleep without us being with him. After trying meditation, natural sleep aids and so many other “sleep props” we decided we needed to help him get the rest and the skills he needed to sleep on his own.
Marissa was amazing to work with and created a plan perfect for him. She also included him on the calls and make him feel a part of the decision making process.
Now he sleeps all night and is so much happier, well rested and an all around different kid. We can’t thank her enough for helping him and helping us all get the sleep we need.
Kelsey was absolutely amazing! We reached out to her when my 2nd son was 14 weeks old, and I was so sleep deprived I had no idea even where to start. I was getting ready to start back to work in a few weeks and was at the point of thinking I would forever be holding my son for all naps and nighttime sleep- which was a very scary thought. He would only sleep while held, and literally for 14 weeks myself or a family member was holding him everyday and at least half of the night. I was convinced he had colic as well- he was fussy or screaming for most of the time he was awake. This was so different than my first son I didn’t even know what to do. I reached out in desperation and even just talking to her helped to calm my nerves that I can do this and my son can do this. Right away she created a custom plan for my son, and we chose the plan that had texting for night one. Boy was I grateful we had that as I would have probably given up if not for her constant encouragement! She literally replied within seconds of the hundreds of texts I sent that night. We made it through night one (night one is rough – not going to lie), but guess what- he only woke up once. This had literally never happened ever before. Then on night two he SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!! No wakings at all- how was this possible? Literally all of my friends and family were in shock as to how quickly it worked for nighttime sleep. Kelsey had taken my son from co-sleeping/holding, using pacifiers 24/7, no naps on his own to sleeping through the night on day 2!!!
The naps took a few more weeks to extend to where they needed to be but he is now a better sleeper than my first son! We have to wake him from every nap and in the mornings. Guess what!? He is also happy- so happy all the time!! He rarely cries unless he is hungry. He sleeps, we sleep, and our family is so happy. Literally the progress we experienced was more than I could have ever expected and we are so grateful for Sleep Wise and Kelsey. Recently, we had a leftover call from our package and had a call to adjust my son to a two nap schedule. Again, she was so responsive and amazing and he successfully transitioned and easily- even daily savings time was easy, I just let him sleep an extra hour and boom, we were on a new schedule! We are forever grateful, and now I know if we have a 3rd, I will be buying the prenatal package and starting from day 1. If your family is struggling, do yourself a favor and hire Kelsey! You will not regret it. I have recommended her to all of my new mom friends!
For nearly the first 4 months of my baby girls life she was waking on average every 2-3 hours at night. I got so desperate I called Kelsey Hotchkiss from Sleep Wise Consulting to see if she could help me. I had no idea what to expect but she sounded confident that she would have Reagan sleeping through the night within 2 weeks! Night one she only got up once and that continued for about the next 6 nights and by a week and a half she was sleeping 12 hours through the night! It felt like a total miracle. Kelsey was amazing to work with. So professional, kind, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. My baby has been sleeping like a champ ever since.
Before working with Courtney our son was fighting going to sleep at night and waking multiple times throughout the night. He now quietly puts himself to sleep and he will wake up after about 11.5-12 hours of sleep, happy as a clam! This is a huge difference between now and a couple of months ago when we were getting hour-long stretches of sleep at best. Courtney, you truly gave us our lives back and I don’t know what we would have done without you!
