Client Love

I would recommend this service to anyone who is having a tough time with their baby, toddler or child’s sleep. Our daughter (20 months) needed to be rocked to sleep, woke up 2-4 times a night and had to use a binky. Katie took the time to understand our current sleep routine, the problems we were running into and put together a personalized and detailed 4 week plan to get Madison to sleep independently. She was very detailed in her step by step approach, detailing things the like the initial bedtime routine, the room lighting and sound, and the day by day approach in steadily allowing our child to become more independent. My wife and I were both anxious as we were making a lot of changes at once but within a week we saw massive improvements. Katie is kind, caring, detailed, prepared and a joy to work with. She genuinely cares and wants your child to have success. Because of Katie we were able to get our sleep back. Madison puts herself to sleep and sleeps through the night. This has changed our life and we cannot thank Katie or recommend her enough.

Katie was extremely helpful and assisted us in making a seemingly almost impossible switch from the Snoo to the crib as quick and painless as possible! Ironically I got her refferal from a family who actually sold me the Snoo. Within the first few days our baby was sleeping mostly through the night after she had never been in the crib prior. Katie was extremely responsive in the provided app and was available to coach us through when we were struggling both physically and emotionally; because let’s be honest, sleep training is very intimidating and is not always a party! But Katie took our 4 month old and within a month she was sleeping and napping in her crib with minimal wakeups. Our daughter is now 8 months and typically goes down in the crib without fuss or muss! Thank you Katie! We highly recommend Happily Ever After Sleep Consulting with Katie.

  • The 2 to 1 Nap Transition... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you know your child is ready? 🌟 This nap transition happens between 11-18 months. The average age to transition to 1 nap is 14 months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟If your child is fighting one of the naps, don’t push for the transition yet! They could be going through a sleep regression (from a milestone or developmental change). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟If they’re struggling to make it to nap 1 but fighting nap 2, try capping the first nap to 1 hour and then pushing nap 2 later to increase sleep pressure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟If you’ve tried this for a week or 2 and your child is still fighting nap 2, keep reading! Signs Your Child is Ready: 🌟Your child is taking one nap a day 3-4x a week and this has been happening for at least 2 weeks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟You’re finding it hard to fit in 2 naps and your desired bedtime (bedtime is getting pushed later) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟It’s taking longer for your child to fall asleep at bedtime or they’re having false starts ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌟Your child is having night wakings or early mornings when before they were sleeping through the night ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How to Make the Switch: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 1: Move morning nap later by 30 minutes for the first 3 days allowing baby to sleep as long as they want ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 2: Offer the afternoon nap even if they don’t fall asleep, you can do a short car/stroller nap if needed ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 3: Move bedtime earlier depending on how naps go (6/6:30 pm if needed) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 4: Day 4 move naptime back another 30 minutes for another 3 days, attempt the afternoon nap-early bedtime if no nap 2 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 5: Day 7 move naptime back another 30 minutes- early bedtime ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Step 6: Move naptime to 12 pm (or your desired time). You may need to shift lunchtime earlier ✨Bedtime needs to be earlier to help with this nap transition, 7:00/7:30 pm is the time I recommend once the transition is complete ✨Naptime will likely be around 12/12:30 pm for several months, it may shift to 1 pm as your child gets older ✨Remember, this is a tough transition and it takes time for your child’s body clock to adjust ⏰ Are you struggling with this nap transition?
