It Works!
A Review from Mediocre Mama, Sarah Bregel - Mom to Tener - 7 months
Patrick and Lindsay L - Paramus, NJ - Parents to Lucy - 6 months
Lucy has been sleeping SO well.. She can make it 13 hours a night which is incredible! We are SO grateful for all of the tips and guidance you were able to give us. She is such a happy, sweet baby who is so pleasant now that she is not sleep deprived. We are also thrilled with the amount of sleep we are able to get :).
Laurie - Annapolis, MD - Mom to Ridgely - 7 months
At 7 months I went to Dawn for help with sleep coaching after a very rough week with a high of over 20 nighttime wakeups. My typically wonderful nighttime sleeper had not made a good transition from the bassinet to his crib and I needed some help! I also had the desire to move my son from napping in his swing to napping in his crib. From our first conversation I knew life was about to improve! After the initial introduction conversation, I took her tips for nighttime sleep and my son’s wakeups decreased from that very first night. After meeting with Dawn in person, I had a concrete action plan that I was comfortable with and could easily implement. My son took to the new plan quite quickly and within about a week we were having great success at night and for crib naps! I am so glad that I committed to giving my child the healthy sleep habits that he (and I!) need for a happy and well-rested life. It’s my job as his parent to take excellent care of him and teaching him this life skill is so important. Dawn was fabulous to work with and the results, equally fantastic! Well worth the time and cost!!
Ted and Jill S. - Crownsville, MD - Parents to Theo - 13 months
Our little one was up 3-4 times every night. The lack of sleep was starting to interfere with our daily lives. In hind sight, we really didn't know it was that bad until after our little guy was finally sleeping through the night with the help of Dawn. We had a consultation with Dawn & within 10 days of following her plan, our little one has been sleeping through the night every night. Our little one now sleeps like a champ at nap time & bedtime. My whole family is now well rested. It's been life changing. Best money we ever spent. Wish we had done it sooner.
Katie J. - Mom to Phoebe - 14 months
Meredith and this program have been game changers in our life. Not sleeping for over a year was insane and now having completed coaching we will recommend this method and Meredith to everyone we know. After only 1 week our daughter slept through the night, naps everyday and is so adjusted to the schedule she puts herself to bed. It's unbelievable what the right support person can help you accomplish. We could not be more thankful for Meredith!
Kara and Jarred L. - Severna Park, MD - Parents to James - 16 months
At 16 months old, James's sleep was getting progressively worse; his naps were only about 30 minutes long, it often took over an hour of nursing and rocking to get him to fall asleep, and he was up anywhere from 2-5 times every night, sometimes for two hours at a time. Nothing seemed to work for us, and we were all exhausted and miserable. Dawn truly changed our lives. She was understanding, patient, knowledgable, kind, and came up with a plan that worked for all of us, including James. He now falls asleep happily on his own and sleeps for nearly 12 hours at night. While there will always be bumps in the road (time changes, sickness, travel, etc.), we now feel confident that we have the tools and knowledge necessary to get back on track quickly. We are forever grateful to her!
Lori S. - Mom to Sammi - 12 months
My daughter was sleeping OK at night, but waking very early in the mornings, and not taking good naps at all. Meredith suggested a few tweaks to our routine, and now my daughter is finally sleeping later, and taking the naps that she desperately needed. She is a much happier baby, and I am a happier mommy!
Joanna and Brian L. - Washington, DC - Parents to Sawyer 14 months
Thank you so much for the tools and the confidence to get through what felt like the darkest, never-ending tunnel. Sawyer is sleeping most nights for about 10 hours which is an absolute dream compared to where we were when we first met. He has an occasional nighttime waking, but they're pretty rare and Brian and I are so grateful.
Lisa B. - Mom to Jake - 4 years old
Meredith was very professional, knowledgeable and through. She was available when I had questions, and always followed up when she said she would. Overall working with her was a great experience.
Jen and Dale C. - Davidsonville, MD - Parents to Norah 13 months
Dawn is a lifesaver! Prior to calling Dawn, we were in a really bad place with night time sleep and naps. On average, Norah was sleeping in segments of 45 minutes. We also lost all ability to help her sleep. Nursing and walking her in the Ergo stopped working. We were at a total loss. We had read all the sleep books out there and didn't know what else to do that fit in our parenting philosophy. After meeting with Dawn and applying the techniques, Norah was sleeping through the night and napping. It was absolutely amazing - like magic! I was in total shock on how well it worked. My only regret is that we didn't call Dawn sooner.
Mr. and Mrs. Corwin - Michigan - Son 6 months
Working with Dawn was truly a joy – both during and after our time spent coaching our little man with her guidance. In our first Skype call with Dawn, I remember jokingly telling her that my dream goal was to be able to lay our 6 month old in his crib smiling, all the while assuming that would be Mission Impossible. Well, guess what? Thanks to Dawn, we lay a happy baby down to sleep around 630 pm and pick up a happy baby around 6 am. My husband and I are still in awe of what we have achieved as we realize how incredibly important sleep is for a healthy, growing babe. As working parents, we did not have time to sit around and read the countless sleep books out there and after hearing advice from nearly everyone, we came across The Well Rested Family, and boy am I thankful we did!
Tricia and Ian J. - Edgewater, MD - Parents to Maggie (2 years) and Tighe (9 months)
Dawn has truly been such a blessing to our family. The customized plan of action in getting my children on a good sleeping pattern has been wonderful thanks to Dawn. She is not thrown off by any odd or peculiar behavior - she always has a solution. Her caring ways, patience, persistence and follow up has made her such a pleasure to work with. I would, and have, highly recommended her services.
Christine and Ray P. - Baltimore, MD - Parents to Clara - 4 years old
We dreaded bed time! We were frustrated and frankly we'd given up hope of ever getting Clara to bed without losing our minds. But now we have a clear routine and very little arguments. You were so patient and encouraging, it gave us the strength to see the whole process through. Thank you so much for giving us our nights back!
