As “911” indicates an emergency, the need for immediate hands on assistance, my service means just that. I come to your home and work with you and your baby, on the process of teaching baby to get good sleep and eventually to sleep through the night. |
Do you feel you could benefit from hands on assistance? Does your baby's crying overwhelm you?
Is this how you envisioned your first few months with your baby?
The need for hands on assistance can arise at any time after you go home with your new baby. As a Post-Partum Doula and Lactation Educator, I have had the joy of working with many new families over the past 8 years. I have been able to provide guidance and support in newborn care, breast feeding and ultimately with teaching baby good sleep through the night. This has varied from family to family, since every baby is an individual.
Sleep training baby by definition is one thing but the reality is a whole different situation. Having ones baby sleep through the night is a definite desire and goal of most new parents, at some point. Parents become exhausted, baby can be over tired too, and by the time baby is 4 months old, the family can be truly feeling the effects of lack of sleep. Yet, it is important to understand that there is a process to teaching a baby good sleep.
Mom and Dad may be getting impatient with eachother and even with their baby at this point. If by 4 months of age, your baby is only sleeping for 2-4 hour stretches ( waking to feed and then hopefully going right back to sleep) you may be starting to feel frustrated. This is probably what baby has done since birth and it is what baby will usually continue to do unless Mom and Dad are willing to do the work necessary to get the sleep desired, for baby and themselves.
The need for good sleep is important for baby, as well as, for mom and dad. If you are asking yourself, “Ok, what do I have to do to get my baby sleep trained, so he/she is getting good sleep”? My answer is, “Contact me”. I will listen to your family’s wants and desires, in regards to your baby’s sleep needs. I will then explain in detail how my Doula 911 service for sleep training baby can help you. I will also encourage you to begin to implement the things below, as they will become sleep cues for baby and allow for a positive experience overall.
Dr. Sears says, “Babies need to be parented to sleep, not just put to sleep. Some babies can be put down while drowsy yet still awake and drift off to sleep, others need parental help by being rocked, or nursed to sleep”.
Sleep is a very basic need. It is of utmost importance. Sleep allows for a calm and relaxed environment. Sleep allows for a content and happy baby, as well as, content and happy parents. Sleep contributes to baby’s overall good health and disposition.
From Elizabeth Pantley’s, No Cry Sleep Solution - according to Dr. William Dement, MD., PhD, considered the world’s leading authority on sleep, “setting a routine and developing healthy bedtime cues and nighttime associations will allow your baby to drift off to sleep”.
TESTIMONIALS:
"Tracy's wealth of knowledge and calm presence were invaluable in sleep training my two children. Her willingness to be available by phone and on short notice as well as her nurturing bedside manner, provided my husband and I with an amazing sense of security in what could otherwise have been a stressful time." -Jennifer DeTrani
"I had the pleasure of working with Tracy two years ago when my first child was born. Being a first-time Mom, I felt very anxious and frustrated with getting my little one to sleep. After three exhausting months and a lot of advice from various people (including my pediatrician), I decided to consult with a physician who was also a sleep specialist. To my dismay, he was still not able to get my daughter to sleep. Feeling hopeless and distressed, I turned to Tracy for advice. She was the only one who made a diffrence in getting my daughter to sleep, not only during the night but during the day too. Tracy is very intuitive when it comes the needs of your little one. She really understands that every baby is diffrent and will work with you to meet their individual needs. She is also very kind, personable, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. She really has the "Magic Touch" when it comes to babies! I have gained a lot of confidence as a parent by working with Tracy. I would highly recommend Tracy to any parent who is having sleep issues with their child." -Debbie Capp
"Tracy helped me so much with my son's sleep training (well, she actually did it all!!) that my husband already knows if he wants another baby, Tracy has to be hired the minute that baby is born! Feel free to call me anytime about how wonderful and helpful Tracy is with your child's sleep schedule training." -Carlie Kyle (858) 775-1050
I look forward to working with your family.

O God! Rear this little babe in the bosom of Thy love, and give it milk from the breast of Thy Providence. Cultivate this fresh plant in the rose-garden of Thy love and aid it to grow through the showers of Thy bounty. Make it a child of the Kingdom and lead it to Thy heavenly realm. Thou art powerful and kind, and Thou art the Bestower, the Generous, the Lord of surpassing bounty. ‘Abdu’l-Baha
