Getting more sleep is great.
But the real win?
Being empowered to do it in a way that
feels right
Traditional Cry-it-Out sleep training programs might work for some moms.
But they won’t work for you.
Here’s the truth:
A connection-based, supportive sleep strategy that honors your baby while creating real change.

To be honest, I don’t believe all babies can (or should) sleep through the night.
Every baby and family is unique, with their own needs, temperament, biology and lifestyle. Case in point: my 4 kids. Despite what I told my pediatrician, some of them slept 12 hours from a young age, and some of them stayed in my room while continuing night feedings well past their first birthday (love you Dr. G!)
That's why You get to choose.

Teaching my own kids to rely on me to help them process their feelings- while telling other moms to let their babies cry alone?
Couldn't do it any more.
Focusing on brain development, co-regulation and attachment simply doesn’t jive with traditional sleep training.
As I grew in motherhood and my field, my approach towards baby sleep underwent a radical shift.
Want the real story?
As I grew as a mother and my intuition grew stronger, traditional sleep training felt less and less ok with me.
I learned about sleep training early on and implemented the first book I could get my hands on. It worked. Magic.
I started to help friends and cousins get their babies to sleep, and Baby Sleep Maven was born.
But if I'm being honest with you… something always felt a little off.
The Baby Sleep Maven Difference
No Cry It Out. No Ferber. No controlled crying. So what do we do? We recognize that babies have feelings just like we parents do. And when babies have a loving attachment figure who stays and soothes them through the tears, it helps them develop the neural pathways to eventually soothe themselves.

We're around here
Sleeping a neat 12 hours isn’t the gold standard of baby sleep. I mean hey, for some babies it works. But many babies still need night feeds and are fine with a shorter night's sleep. And things can improve for your baby's unique situation too.
It's gotta feel right in your soul
Getting better sleep in a way that feels aligned and true to your heart is what we’re here for. The results are secondary - your relationship with your baby always comes first. Making changes to your baby's sleep has to feel good to you - and you have so many options to choose from.
