Baby Sleep Consulting Services

Would you like your baby to sleep better without needing to nurse or feed back to sleep every time they wake up? Are you considering dropping night feeds, but want guidance on how to do it in a gentle way? Would you like to go from co-sleeping to a crib? Or vice versa? We are here to support you.
In Clinic and Virtual Appointments Available
Yoga Mamas Lactation Consultant and Sleep Coach Paola Vallarino will assess your specific situation to determine the best plan for you, respecting your goals and nurturing your baby’s well-being at all times. Before choosing the right plan for you, we will make a comprehensive assessment and rule out possible causes of frequent nighttime awakenings.

​If you wish to drop night feeds, we will assess whether it is safe and how to do it gently, always responding to your baby throughout the process. If all you need is to implement healthy sleep habits and understand the relationship between feeding and sleep, learn about co-sleeping and/or transitioning the baby to his crib or room, we are also here to answer your questions.
