The newborn snuggles – the naps, the sleepy days… OVER.
You thought your baby would automagically start sleeping through the night by this point (doesn’t that just HAPPEN? According to your newsfeed, it SURE DOES [insert gritted teeth smile emoji hereee]… but no.
Every night it’s a battle of the sleepy wills.
You LOVE your precious angel and yet you have butterflies as you prep for bed each night, not knowing how long you’ll get before the next wake up.
At this point you figure it’s easier just to stay awake a few extra hours so it doesn’t FEEL like you’re “waking up” to help baby get back to sleep.
^^^ I’ve got the perfect solution for you, friend. Stay with me.
When you’re sleep-deprived and looking for a solution that will help EVERYONE in your home sleep well and wake happy, the last thing you need is more voices in your head. More parenting advice to try.
That blog post. The PDF your friend sent you via Facebook.
Your aunt’s cousin’s daughter’s pediatrician from 1895.
Shhhhhhhhhh…. Everyone SHHHHH.
ONE proven system. A simple, gentle, loving system to help baby sleep, which helps YOU sleep, which helps the world go round come sunrise.
I got you.
I’m Tamiko Kelly, founder of Sleep Well. Wake Happy. and Baby Sleep Expert.
Since 2008, I’ve helped tired parents go from frazzled to fantastic by teaching them how to get their babies sleeping through the night.
Babies with severe reflux who projectile vomit after every meal. 🤮
Babies who are so used to being held when you can’t take a potty break without the neighbors walking over to see what the screaming is all about. 🥴
Babies who can’t fall asleep without a boob or bottle in hand. 🍼
Babies who only like to sleep on Tuesdays.😵
In over a decade of sleep service, what strikes me the most is how frustrated and SPENT these mamas are by the time they find me. You’re probably at that same point right now.
You’ve tried to figure this out on your own – heeding expert advice like “put your baby down drowsy but awake” << what does that actually MEAN?? 🤨
You’re piecing it together and trying bits and pieces of this system and that, but nothing’s working.
You need actionable takeaways. Examples. A system to follow and a safety net to guide the way when it requires too much thinking for your sleep-deprived brain.
What you reeeally need is for someone to come over to your house and do the sleep training FOR you.
Well luckily for you, I’ve assembled a team who can do just that.
I call them my Sleep Squad and they are the best of the best.
They’ll arrive at your house and teach your sweet angel how to sleep through the night in 6 days or less.
Because when BABY sleeps, YOU get to sleep.
And when YOU get to sleep, you can finally start to (say it with me): wake happy! 🙂
(See what I did there?)
My Sleep Squad will help you develop a clear plan to easily and quickly teach your night owl to sleep peacefully in their crib 12 glorious hours in a row.
And here’s the best part- they’ll do all the work for you.
because you’ll no longer have to Google sleep solutions with one eye open at 2am. They’ll walk you through everything you need to know (and nothing you DON’T. Because #limitedmentalresources right now).
because you and your sweet baby will be sleeping all night. You’ll have the energy to plan a date with your hubby/wifey, get back to your favorite yoga class or even enjoy time with your other kids (remember them?) once the baby is down for the night.
because you’ll no longer have to sift through all the blogs / books / FB comments from Aunt Tina trying to make sense of conflicting sleep advice. We know what works, so we’re gonna keep. it. simple.
because once you have a plan it’s so much easier to reach your sleep goals. (Did you ever imagine you’d need to set GOALS for sleep? #momlife) Not only will you know what to do but you’ll understand why we’re doing it. Which means you’ll feel 100% confident in your decision to sleep train your baby with my Sleep Squad’s loving support.
Here’s How It Works:
In the morning, they’ll give you a full rundown of the night updating you on progress and answering any questions you may have.
This process continues through the 6th night with the goal of your baby sleeping through the night
Your package also includes 2 weeks of follow up support after your sleep consultant’s departure. Our goal is to ensure you feel fully supported and well rested
Aligned and 100% on onboard with sleep training
Coachable and ready to follow a simple plan with expert guidance
Willing to accept some tears as their baby learns to sleep all night

Our team has a variety of training under their belt. Some are certified newborn care specialists, some are doulas but they all have a heart for service. Everyone of our team members has at least 5 years experience caring for newborns, is CPR/First Aid certified, and carries their own insurance. Some of our team members have even taken advanced training in things like RIE, lactation, tongue ties and more. We are definitely qualified to help your growing family 🙂
Yes. If you are open to interviewing out of state candidates for your position, you’ll need to provide them with accommodations. Typical accommodations include a separate room for use in your home during their off time with a bed and private bath. You may also provide separate accommodations at an off site location like a hotel. It’s also a nice touch to provide your Sleep Consultant with access to a vehicle so they can explore your beautiful city during their time off.
Yes. Your baby will absolutely protest the changes that we’re making.
I know this is a big one but hear me out.
Your baby cries all the time during the day when you….
Change their diaper
Buckle them safely in the car seat
Take away the pacifier
Put them in the stroller
Wipe their boogers
Sit them down while you’re cooking
Go potty by yourself
Let Daddy, Wifey or MiMi hold ’em
Do tongue or lip tie stretches
And the list goes on….
What do all these things have in common?
Doing them doesn’t damage your baby’s attachment to you.
So why is it that when we hear our babies cry in the nursery we freak out?
Well it’s simple.
It has nothing to do with the tears….
It’s the meaning we attach to those tears.
Read that sentence above one more time and let it soak in.
For so long we have been guilted, shamed and told to attend to our babies every need…
Even if it’s to our own detriment
Even if it means that we feel overwhelmed
Even at the cost of own emotional well being
And I’m saying it’s time to reframe this.
It’s time that we say …
“In order for me to be a good mother to my baby I need to be rested
Getting a good night’s sleep isn’t selfish
It’s the best gift I can give to myself and my baby.”
Now I want to be clear, I’m not saying leave your baby to cry alone for hours.
What I’m saying is that there’s ZERO EVIDENCE that crying with constant reassurance has any negative long-term effects on your baby.
You won’t damage your baby’s attachment to you by giving them space to figure out how to fall asleep.
I know you love your baby and they absolutely know it too.
Please give yourself some grace and understand that some temporary discomfort now will pay HUGE dividends in the future.
Having a baby that sleeps all night is priceless.
Nope! If your baby’s got a crib, my Sleep Squad can help you. 12 months old? No problem. 12 years old? You’re on your own 😉
Our Sleep Squad has a variety of methods at their disposal and are trained to customize those methods for your family. They are trained to tune in your little one’s personality and provide options they’re confident will work. They’re also there to support you, explain what they’re doing and why they’re doing it. Our goal is to make sleep training simple and seamless.
Yes! We’re happy to help your family wherever you’re located. We simply ask that if your family lives in a remote area that you’re willing to send a car or come pick up your sleep consultant from the airport. I’ve been lost in the backwoods before and it’s NOT fun at all.
12 hours. We typically staff our providers in teams of 2. One person works a 12 hour day shift and the other person works a 12 hour night shift. This ensures your team is well rested and provides your family with outstanding care.
I’m glad you asked! Here are your sleep milestones. Put ‘em in your diary (⭐gold stars optional⭐).
2 hours in a row by day 2 << it’s the little things
5 hours in a row by day 4 << you’ll feel like a NEW (WO)MAN
12 hours in a row by day 6 << call the sitter, baby – you’re goin’ out!!
I know, right?
SO MUCH SLEEP, SO SOON!
Here’s my dazzling disclaimer: We’re dealing with human behavior here so your baby may not be sleeping the full 12 hours by 6 days but that’s ok. We’ve totally got you covered with your 2 weeks of follow up support. During this time, your sleep consultant will help you fine tune things so your little one can sleep longer stretches.
Once your baby passes the newborn stage and has regained their birth weight, you can absolutely wean those middle of the night feedings so they can sleep longer stretches. So unless your baby has some underlying health issues there’s no reason why you couldn’t start sleep training pronto.
Yep! We’ll address ALLLL the things that are getting in the way of your goodnight’s sleep. They’ll develop a plan, implement the plan and then walk you through how to implement the plan in their absence.
All payments are due upfront to secure services and reserve time on your sleep consultant’s calendar. Services rendered including agency services, consulting, and coaching, are not refundable. All searches require a non-refundable deposit to begin and the balance is due once your family is matched with a sleep consultant or in accordance with your client contract. Should a client choose not to move with sleep training, the deposit is kept for work invested in research, client contact, and any other service provided during the time Parties worked together.
Nope. However if you have a FSA (flexible spending account), HRA (Health Reimbursement Account) then your sleep consulting may be 100% reimbursable.
Here’s how you may be able to be reimbursed for some or all of your sleep consulting*:
*be sure to reach out to your HR department for specific information and documentation that’s needed for your company’s reimbursement
