Dream Team is here to support families through sleep training. Hi! I’m Shanna! I am a Registered Nurse and a Real Estate Agent. Strange combination, I know.

With multiple services, I offer personalized sleep plans, daily follow up, schedules, education on different Sleep Training Methods and biology of sleep for our little ones. First and foremost, I am a wife and a momma to a beautiful baby boy. My passion for sleep started once I found out I was pregnant. I felt like I needed to know everything, right? Google and I became the best of friends and sometimes the worst of enemies. There was so much information, it completely overwhelmed me. My background as an Obstetric and Newborn Nursery Registered Nurse also fueled me into wanting to help families find their balance with daily schedules, naps and overall sleep. As a first time mother, I found myself wanting to be able to pass on my knowledge to other parents of little ones. I became Certified through The Family Sleep Institute; an extensive six-month sleep training and certification program. Consisting of over 250 hours of education, it is recognized as one of the most in-depth and extensive certifications in the sleep consulting industry. A rested family is a happy family and what we can accomplish and achieve when we are rested is far greater than running on fumes. I look forward to working side by side with you, helping tailor a plan that will assist you in achieving your specific goals. My goal is to prepare your family to communicate and establish sleep plans for your littles ones that fit your individual needs as a family. I cannot express enough how passionate I am about sleep for you, your families and your new baby.

I don’t care if you co-sleep.

I’m not judging you if your children sleep in your bed until they start kindergarten.

I don’t care if you feed at every waking or respond to every single cry.

I don’t care if you rock your baby to sleep, bounce them back to sleep, or hold them a little longer because you just aren’t ready to put them down.

I don’t care if you fall asleep in your child’s room more nights than you’d like to admit.

Because if it’s working for your family, why on earth would I try to convince you to change it?

I’m not here to tell you how to parent.

I’m not here to convince you that your baby needs to sleep independently just because someone on the internet says they should.

And I’m certainly not here to make you feel guilty for doing what works for YOUR family.

But let me tell you who I AM here for.

I’m here for the mama who is so exhausted she barely recognizes herself anymore.

The mama who loves her children more than anything in this world but is struggling to find the joy in motherhood because she’s been living in survival mode for months.

I’m here for the mama who misses her husband. Who misses having conversations that aren’t interrupted by a crying baby. Who misses feeling like a wife, a friend, and a person outside of motherhood.

I’m here for the mama who works 12-hour shifts, gives everything she has to everyone around her, and simply cannot keep functioning on broken sleep.

The mama who cries in the shower because she’s overwhelmed, overstimulated, and running on empty.

And I’m here for the babies, too.

The babies who are chronically overtired. Who struggle to settle, who wake exhausted, and who have a hard time getting the restorative sleep their growing bodies and developing brains need.

The babies whose sleep challenges may be affecting their feeding, mood, and overall well-being.

Because sleep matters.

But so does the mother.
Her mental health matters.
Her marriage matters.
Her relationships matter.
Her ability to enjoy motherhood matters.

And wanting better sleep doesn’t mean she loves her baby any less.

You can love every ounce of motherhood and still desperately need something to change.

I'm here when you're ready

“When can I stop feeding my baby overnight?” 🌙🍼

Ohhhh, if I had a dollar for every time a parent asked me this question. 😂

And while I know everyone wants a simple answer, here’s the thing…

There is NO magical age when every baby suddenly stops needing overnight feeds. 👏🏼

Let’s talk about it. 👇🏼

🤎 NEWBORNS (0–3 months)
Night feedings are normal, necessary, and expected! Those little tummies need frequent nourishment, and newborns aren’t developmentally ready to go all night without eating.

🤎 3–6 MONTHS
Some babies naturally begin sleeping longer stretches between feeds, while others still need multiple overnight feedings. Both can be completely normal!

🤎 6–9 MONTHS
Some healthy, growing babies may be ready to reduce or eliminate night feeds, while others still have legitimate nutritional needs overnight. Growth, feeding patterns, and medical history all matter.

🤎 9–12 MONTHS
Many babies can meet their nutritional needs during the day, but that doesn’t automatically mean every baby should be night-weaned. Breastfeeding, milk intake, growth, and individual development still play a role.

🤎 12+ MONTHS
For many healthy toddlers, overnight calories are no longer nutritionally necessary. But that doesn’t mean every family needs to stop nighttime nursing or feeding. It’s a personal decision influenced by your child’s health and your family’s goals.

HERE’S WHAT I REALLY WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND:

Just because a baby can sleep through the night without feeding doesn’t mean they’re automatically ready to.

And just because a baby wakes overnight doesn’t mean they’re necessarily hungry, either.

When I’m working with a family, I’m looking at the WHOLE picture:

✨ Age and development
✨ Growth and weight gain
✨ Daytime milk and food intake
✨ Breastfeeding or formula-feeding patterns
✨ Medical history and health considerations
✨ How baby currently falls asleep
✨ What parents are comfortable with

And I always recommend discussing night weaning with your pediatrician before intentionally eliminating feeds. Especially for younger babies or those with growth or feeding concerns.

I’VE BEEN KEEPING A LITTLE SECRET… 🤎🌙📖

And I am SO excited to finally share it with you!

After 5 years of helping families get better sleep, countless consultations, hundreds of questions, and a whole lot of love poured into what I do…

I’m creating something special for YOU! 🥹

Introducing…

✨ The Dream Team Baby Sleep Survival Guide ✨

Because let’s be real, babies don’t come with instruction manuals… but wouldn’t it be nice if they did?! 😂

I wanted to create something that gives parents the education, confidence, and reassurance they deserve when navigating their baby’s sleep.

Inside, we’re talking about:

🤎 Wake windows and sleep schedules
🤎 Naps, bedtime, and nighttime wakings
🤎 Understanding your baby’s sleep needs
🤎 Common sleep struggles and how to navigate them
🤎 Practical tips you can actually use
🤎 And SO much more!

No unrealistic expectations. No one-size-fits-all schedules. And absolutely NO mom guilt.

Just evidence-informed sleep education from an RN, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and mama of two who understands just how overwhelming baby sleep can feel.

My goal? To help you spend less time Googling at 2 AM and more time feeling confident in your parenting. 🥹

This little labor of love is COMING SOON, and I cannot wait to get it into your hands!

📖 Drop a 🌙 in the comments if you want to be one of the FIRST to know when it launches!

Sweet dreams are coming, friends. 🤎

Sounds simple, right?

Until your baby is rubbing their eyes at 6:30, you’re trying to make it to that magical 7:30 bedtime, and suddenly they’re acting like they just drank a double espresso. 😂☕️

Welcome to the wonderful world of overtiredness. 🫠

Here’s something I wish every parent understood:

A baby who is exhausted doesn’t always fall asleep easier. Sometimes, they actually struggle MORE.

When babies become overtired, their bodies can become more alert and stressed, making it harder for them to settle.

And that can look like:

🤎 Fighting bedtime even though they’re clearly exhausted.

🤎 Crying or becoming unusually fussy during their bedtime routine.

🤎 Falling asleep only to wake up 30–60 minutes later (hello, false starts 👋🏼).

🤎 More difficulty settling after nighttime wakings.

🤎 Waking earlier than you’d like in the morning.

Now, here’s where it gets tricky…

Putting your baby down TOO early can also create bedtime battles.

If they haven’t built up enough sleep pressure, they may simply not be ready to fall asleep.

So what’s the secret?

✨ Finding that sweet spot between sleep pressure and your baby’s natural biological rhythm.

And NO, that doesn’t mean obsessing over wake windows down to the minute.

It means paying attention to your baby’s age, naps, sleep cues, and patterns.

One of my favorite pieces of advice?

If your baby had a rough nap day, don’t be afraid of an earlier bedtime!

Sometimes moving bedtime up 20–30 minutes can make a big difference.

And remember, an occasional bedtime battle doesn’t automatically mean your baby is overtired. Sleep is more nuanced than that.

I don’t believe in forcing every baby into the exact same schedule.

I believe in finding the rhythm that works for YOUR baby. 🤎

Because bedtime shouldn’t feel like a nightly negotiation with a tiny, unreasonable CEO. 😂

Dear Daylight Saving Time,

With all due respect… LEAVE OUR BABIES ALONE. 😂🌙

Just when you finally get the naps figured out, bedtime is going smoothly, and everyone is sleeping beautifully…

Here comes the time change to shake things up. 🫠

⏰ Sunday, November 1st, we’re FALLING BACK!

And while an extra hour of sleep sounds AMAZING in theory, parents of little ones know the truth…

Your baby’s 6 AM wake-up could suddenly become 5 AM. 😵‍💫

But don’t panic! 🤎

A little preparation can make the transition so much smoother.

And because I love making life easier for my Dream Team families, I’ve put together a FREE Daylight Saving Time Survival Guide! 🌙

Inside, I’ll walk you through:

🤎 How to gradually adjust your baby’s schedule BEFORE the time change.

🤎 What to do with naps and bedtime.

🤎 How to handle those dreaded early morning wakings.

🤎 What to do if the time change catches you completely off guard.

🤎 How to get everyone back on track without overcomplicating things.

Because the only thing more exhausting than a baby who doesn’t sleep…

Is a baby who thinks 4:45 AM is a perfectly acceptable time to start the day. 😂

Two different stages of parenthood. Two different ways to get the sleep support you deserve. 🤎🌙

🧸 Newborn Sleep Package: Let’s start with a strong foundation! Learn about newborn sleep, realistic expectations, healthy sleep habits, and how to navigate those first few months with confidence.

🌙 10-Day Dream Team Consultation Package: Ready for more restful nights? This personalized package provides a sleep plan tailored to your little one, along with guidance and support to help your family find a routine that works.

Because here’s the thing… you don’t have to wait until you’re completely exhausted to ask for help.

I know just how much sleep impacts the entire family.

My goal has always been simple: Better sleep, less stress, and a whole lot more confidence in your parenting journey. 🤎

10/21/2026

Somewhere along the way, we convinced parents that if their baby isn’t asleep at exactly 2 hours and 15 minutes of awake time, the entire day is ruined. 😂

But here’s the thing…

Your baby isn’t a stopwatch. ⏰

Wake windows can be incredibly helpful! They give us a starting point for understanding when your baby might be ready for sleep.

But they’re not the ONLY thing I look at.

🤎 Biological sleep rhythms matter. Your baby’s internal clock plays a huge role in when their body is naturally ready for sleep.

🤎 Sleep quality matters. A 30-minute nap and a 2-hour nap may leave your baby needing very different amounts of awake time.

🤎 Age and development matter. Sleep needs change as your baby grows, and not every baby follows the same timeline.

🤎 Your baby’s cues matter. Their mood, energy, and behavior can tell us things a chart simply can’t.

And sometimes? Your baby just has an off day. Because they’re HUMAN. 🤷🏼‍♀️

As an RN + Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I don’t believe in forcing babies into perfectly calculated schedules just because an app says it’s time.

I believe in understanding the baby in front of me.

Wake windows are a guide.
Biological sleep times are important.
Consistency is helpful.
Flexibility is necessary.

✨ The goal isn’t to follow the clock perfectly. It’s to understand your baby’s sleep well enough that you don’t have to obsess over it.

So if you’re watching the clock down to the minute every single day…

Consider this your permission to loosen your grip a little. 🤎

Save this for the next time your sleep app tells you bedtime was supposed to be 7 minutes ago. 😂

“Is your baby sleeping through the night yet?” 👀🌙

Ahhh, the question every new parent gets asked approximately 472 times. 😂

But here’s something I wish more parents understood…

Sleeping through the night doesn’t mean the same thing at every age.

And expecting a 3-month-old to sleep like a 12-month-old? That’s setting everyone up for frustration.

HERE’S THE PART I REALLY WANT YOU TO REMEMBER:

Sleeping through the night is NOT a competition.

And it doesn’t mean your baby never briefly wakes up.

We ALL wake between sleep cycles. The difference is whether we’re able to settle back to sleep independently or need a little help.

Your baby’s sleep is influenced by their age, development, temperament, feeding needs, and so much more.

And just because your friend’s baby sleeps 12 hours doesn’t mean something is wrong with yours. 🤍

As an RN + Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, my goal isn’t to force every baby into the same sleep expectations.

It’s to help families establish healthy, realistic, age-appropriate sleep habits.

Because understanding what’s NORMAL is just as important as knowing what we can work on. 🌙

And if you’re wondering what realistic sleep expectations look like for YOUR baby, that’s exactly what I’m here for.
