Infant Support
13-18 months old
​​​​Hi, I’m Susan!
As a trusted Washington DC sleep consultant, I provide customized, high-touch sleep coaching for parents of infants 3 - 23 months helping you go from exhausted and overwhelmed to confident and sleeping through the night (10+ hours) by teaching their babies to sleep independently without using Cry It Out.
Wow, your baby is now a year old - a HUGE milestone in your parenting journey, congrats!!! This age comes with quite a few changes, the shift from relying on fluid nutrition to table food, potentially adding, cows milk into their diet, and TONS of cognitive and gross motor changes - maybe your baby is walking already, eek!!
​
This is a beautifully complex stage that can often bring sleep challenges;
​
Your toddler fights naps.
Bedtime is stretching later and later.
Night wakings feel stubborn.
​
You’re second-guessing schedules, wondering if they’re overtired or undertired.
Everything feels harder than it should.
​
​
If this feels familiar, you are not alone. And you are not doing anything wrong.
​
At this age, these challenges are rarely about ability. They’re about boundaries, communication, and big developmental feelings showing up at bedtime and overnight. Toddlers at this age thrive on structure and sleep is still a skill that can be strengthened.
​
IMAGINE THIS INSTEAD:
-
One solid, predictable nap
-
Peaceful, consistent bedtimes
-
Minimal night disruptions
-
Clear boundaries around sleep
-
A well-rested, happier toddler
​
With the right plan, resistance can turn into routine.

What I do
​
I’m an experienced sleep coach having worked with dozens of families from all over the world. This stage it requires clarity and consistency. I partner with families to establish strong routines, age-appropriate schedules, and calm but confident sleep boundaries. This isn’t about power struggles. It’s about helping your toddler feel secure within predictable structure. With supportive coaching and a clear plan, sleep can feel steady again.
​
You’ll receive clear guidance, steady coaching, and ongoing support as your child transitions into longer stretches and more predictable sleep.
As a mom myself, I know how important it is to be well rested. I am here to make sure we get you and your whole family sleeping through the night so that you can be the best mom and parent for your family.
This is for you if…
​​
-
Your baby is waking frequently at night, taking short or unpredictable naps, or struggling to settle without lots of help.
​
-
You are having a hard time focusing at work - running on coffee and energy drinks wondering not when but IF things will ever get better.
​
-
All your energy is being taken up with your baby’s sleep (rather lack there of) and your other children are not getting the attention they need and deserve - managing it all seems impossible
​
-
You are going back to work soon and are anxious because only you can nurse them to sleep and you are wondering how your baby will get ANY sleep in someone else’s care
​
-
Your partner is now sleeping on the couch - you never wanted to co-sleep, but are desperate for ANY amount of sleep.​​
This is not for you if…
​
-
You’re looking for a one-size-fits-all method without considering your baby’s unique temperament and needs.
​
-
You want a “fix it in one night” solution—infant sleep is a process, not an instant switch.
​
-
You’re not ready to make changes to routines, sleep environments, or your current approach.
​
-
You are co-sleeping and you want to continue to cosleep
In less than two weeks, you and your family will be sleeping through the night (10+ hours!), you will have the energy you need to be the parent you want to be and to do the things you enjoy.
I know you are ready to stop guessing, stop Googling, and stop running on fumes. Together, we’ll create a clear plan and the consistent support you need to make sleep a reality for your family.​

So, what’s next? Let’s get you started!
Step 1: Schedule an evaluation call
​
We’ll start with a 15-minute call so I can learn more about you, your baby, and your goals. This also gives us a chance to see if my support is the right fit for your family.
​
Step 2: Complete Your Questionnaire
​
You’ll fill out a short questionnaire that helps me understand your baby’s current feeding and sleep patterns. This gives me a clear picture of what’s going on so I know how to support your family. I use this information to create your child’s sleep plan.
​
Step 3: Plan walk through
​
We’ll review your child’s support plan either during a live session or via a personalized recording. During the walk through, I’ll explain everything you need to know about our plan of action. And, of course, we can make tweaks and edits to the plan as necessary to ensure it is the right fit for your baby and family.
Step 4: Get Sleep
​
We will pick a start date and be on our way to getting everyone sleep! During our work together, I’ll check in on you daily and we will discuss and make changes as necessary ensuring we make progress towards our goals based on how your child is responding. With my coaching support, you will be confident in helping your baby sleep well and responding to their needs.
​
Step 5: Celebrate!
​
We will work together for two weeks and at the end of our time together, you’ll feel more rested, more reassured, and equipped with tools to help your baby sleep well. We will wrap up our time with an ask me anything call to go over any lingering questions and talk through what the future transitions, and the reassurance that I am here for you when you need me!
How long will we work together?
With the Standard Program, we will work together for 2 weeks.
With my Premium Program, we will work together for up to 4 weeks.
​
Does my partner or spouse need to be involved in this?
Ideally, yes. This is so that your baby understands you are a team and that
you have the same expectations and do things the same way.
It can of course be done solo if necessary.
​
Do you help with lactation and feeding support?
I offer basic feeding assistance and support on how to schedule and structure your feeds. However if you have specific feeding needs, I recommend contacting a lactation consultant.
​
Will my baby be sleeping through the night?
For healthy babies who weigh more than 13lbs, yes! For some, this may be as young as 3 months old, for others this may come at 6 months. Unless there is a health concern, babies 3+ months do not need more than 1 feeding overnight and once they are 13 lbs they can be fully night weaned. For babies who keep in their night time feeding, we will consolidate to a specific time frame and in most cases that feeding time becomes consistent until no longer needed. Unless there is a health concern, babies older than 6 months will be night weaned for the best interest of the baby.
Do you use the cry-it-out method?
No, I do not use Cry It Out. However, crying is involved. The methods I choose for each baby and family are based on the individual needs and goals of the family.
​
What happens if my baby hasn’t met our sleep goals at the end of the two weeks?
During our time together, I will be giving you specific recommendations for your baby based on how they are responding to the work so we can make fast and smooth progress and meet our goals as efficiently as possible. However, every baby is different and some may take longer to adjust to the new demands. If we are not where we want to be at the end of our two weeks together, we can extend our work for another week for an additional fee.
​
Do you offer sibling discounts?
Yes! If you have multiple children needing support at the same time, enjoy a 50% discount on the lower cost plan.
​
What about twins and multiples?
There is only an additional $50 fee per multiple.
