Tara’s guidance changed our lives! When my son was 6 months old, he was still sleeping in a swing and actually started waking up more frequently at night.  He would wake up every 1-2 hours, take a little bit of a bottle, then go back to sleep.  We had tried starting a bedtime routine, with dinner and bath, but it wasn’t working.  We got to a point where one of us would hold him in the recliner, and the other would go and get the bottles every 1-2 hours.  We finally realized it was time for some help and found Tara.  With her initial intake and evaluation, she was able to customize a plan for us to help our son start sleeping in his crib, and then wean off the night feedings.  My husband had to do most of the initial work because I couldn’t even handle 10 minutes of crying, but within a week he was crying very little, and sleeping in his crib.  The next week we weaned him from his night bottle, and he did fine. He now goes to bed easily, IN HIS CRIB, and sleeps through the night! It is absolutely amazing! We could not have done it without Tara’s guidance and instruction!

My husband just woke up this morning (after us all sleeping through the night) and said “why did we suffer for so long!” It really is remarkable what a difference your instruction made, and we appreciate that you worked WITH us to develop a plan rather than TOLD us what to do without our input and agreement.We really appreciated that and it speaks to your expertise. She has slept better than ever. She sleeps from about 7pm (or earlier) to at least 6am, and her naps are even getting more consistent and lengthy. Thank you for getting us on track and helping us believe that a good nights sleep for everyone was achievable!

Being the parents of twins, a full night’s sleep never seemed like a possibility. Within weeks of working with Tara, both of our sons were sleeping through the night in the same the room! Tara’s advice and support gave us the confidence we needed to stick with a plan and a schedule. Nap time was particularly challenging with two babies and Tara’s guidance helped us get them on the same nap schedule and brought structure back to our daily routine.
