Meet Susan
Hi there! And, WELCOME!
I’m Susan Lattuca, your Washington DC Pediatric Sleep Consultant, former teacher, and mother of two.
After navigating significant sleep challenges with my own children, I became deeply committed to understanding the science of sleep and the psychology of family dynamics.
The transformation in our home was profound: calmer evenings, healthier development, stronger connection.
Today, I provide elevated, personalized sleep consulting to families throughout Washington DC and worldwide who want sustainable results without harsh or one-size-fits-all methods.
Sleep deprivation hit me hard. It affected my work, my patience, my relationships, and my ability to even feel like myself.
What Makes Me Different
Unlike large sleep programs, you work directly with me, not a rotating support team.
Every strategy is customized.
Every adjustment is intentional.
Every family receives individualized care.
I have been in your shoes and intimately know the challenges you are facing with your child's sleep. And I also know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Like you, we tried everything (and I mean EVERYTHING)…
nothing worked... was my baby broken? was i?
My Philosophy
Sleep training should feel strategic, developmentally appropriate, emotionally supported, and clear. I will cut the noise and give you confidence, peace, and clarity.
I believe in individualized plans designed around your child’s temperament and your parenting values. Every child and family has unique needs and I construct my support to ensure the support you receive is intentional and impactful.
Sleep Training is an emotional process and you deserve the best support available to support you and your child. I didn't trust just anyone with my own baby when we hired a consultant - I understand the trust families put in me. I do not take that for granted.
As both a former Pre-K/Kindergarten teacher and a mom, I know how crucial sleep is for a child’s development… and how harmful poor sleep can be.
As a trusted Washington DC sleep consultant, I provide customized, high-touch sleep coaching for babies and toddlers throughout Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and surrounding communities and virtually worldwide.
This is not generic sleep training.
This is strategic, compassionate, results-driven support tailored exclusively to your family.
My Approach
No one likes to hear their baby cry. And while I don’t use a “cry it out” approach, some tears can be part of the process. Babies communicate through crying. And when we change how they fall asleep, they may protest that change. That’s normal.
Sleep shaping is a transition. My role is to make that transition calm, supported, and predictable. You will know exactly what to expect and exactly how to respond which eases anxiety for both you and your child.
I believe parenting means creating safety while also teaching skills. Sleep is a skill. My approach is structured, responsive, and attachment-centered. Whether using interval reassurance or a gradual in-room exit plan, your child is never left to navigate this alone.
Together, we teach your child to fall asleep independently and return to sleep confidently while preserving a secure parent-child bond.
The result? A well-rested child, a confident parent, and peaceful nights for your entire family.
