Dream Team Pediatric Sleep Specialist

Dream Team Pediatric Sleep Specialist 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 som

etimes 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.

Things I will NEVER judge you for as your sleep consultant. 💛

The contact naps.
Feeding your baby to sleep.
Cosleeping because it was the only way anyone got rest.
Starting sleep training…and stopping.
Trying again…and stopping again.
Being inconsistent because you were simply too exhausted to be consistent.
Or finally reaching the point where you just need someone to tell you what to do next.

I’m not here to tell you everything you’ve done wrong.

I’m here to meet you exactly where you are and help you figure out where we go from here.

There is no gold star for doing motherhood the hardest way possible.

Sometimes you just need a plan. A little education. A LOT of support. And someone in your corner saying, “Okay mama, here’s what we’re doing tonight.” ✨

No judgment. No shame. No one-size-fits-all sleep training.

Just support for you, your baby, and YOUR family.

Let’s talk LOVeys. 🧸When can you introduce one, and can it actually help with sleep?

A favorite lovey can become an AMAZING sleep cue for older babies and toddlers.

It smells familiar.
It feels familiar.
And over time, it can become another little signal that says:

“It’s time to sleep.” 💤

But here’s the important part 👇🏼

🚨 For babies under 12 months, keep the crib EMPTY.

No loveys, blankets, stuffed animals, pillows, or other soft objects in the sleep space.

That doesn’t mean you can’t start making a lovey familiar while your baby is awake!

You can incorporate it during:

🤍 Feeding
🤍 Story time
🤍 Snuggles
🤍 Your bedtime routine
🤍 Supervised play

Then, once your child is old enough for it to safely join their sleep routine, they already recognize it as something familiar and comforting.

For toddlers, I LOVE using a lovey as part of the bedtime routine—especially when we’re working on independent sleep.

“Let’s grab your bear. It’s time for bed!”

It’s a tiny thing, but those consistent sleep cues can be powerful.

PRO TIP: Buy TWO identical ones. 😂

Because the day that beloved bunny disappears at Grandma’s house is NOT the day you want to discover they discontinued it in 2024.

Ask me how many parents have learned that lesson the hard way. 😅

Healthy sleep isn’t just about a schedule or a sleep-training method.

It’s also about creating a predictable, comforting environment that tells your child’s brain:

You’re safe. You’re comfortable. And it’s time to rest. 💛

Save this for when your little one is ready for their first lovey! 🧸💤

Hello, September. 💛🍂

A new month, a fresh start, and your reminder that rest is productive, too. Here’s to slower moments, better sleep, and giving yourself a little grace this month, mama. 🌙

You can step away.

You can sit down.

You can put the baby somewhere safe and take a minute.

You can ask for help.

You can say, “I’m exhausted.”

You can order takeout.

You can leave the laundry.

You can choose rest over productivity.

You can take care of yourself, too.

You don’t have to soak up every second.
You don’t have to love every stage.
You don’t have to do motherhood perfectly.

You are allowed to need sleep.
You are allowed to need a break.
You are allowed to be a person outside of being “Mom.”

Taking care of you is part of taking care of them. 💛

No, your baby doesn’t need to magically wake up one morning “ready” for sleep training.

But there ARE signs I look for that tell me it’s time to start working on independent sleep skills. 👇🏼

💛They’re waking frequently throughout the night.
Especially when they need the same thing—rocking, feeding, bouncing, replacing the pacifier—to fall back asleep every time.

💛Bedtime is becoming harder instead of easier.
You’re spending 30, 45, sometimes 60+ minutes trying to get them asleep… only for those little eyes to POP open the second you attempt the crib transfer. 😵‍💫

💛Naps are consistently short or unpredictable.
Hello, 30-minute nap. We meet again. 😂

💛They rely heavily on one specific thing to fall asleep.
Feeding. Rocking. Holding. Bouncing. Motion. None of these are inherently “bad”—but if they’re no longer working for your family, you can make a change.

💛Your current routine isn’t sustainable anymore.
This one matters.

You don’t have to wait until you’re completely exhausted and dreading every nap and bedtime before asking for help.

And maybe the BIGGEST green flag?

💚 YOU are ready for something to change.

Independent sleep doesn’t mean your baby stops needing you.

It means we’re teaching them another skill while continuing to love, comfort and support them.

And we can do that in a way that fits your baby, your family AND your parenting style. 🧸

MYTH: “If I sleep train my baby, they won’t love me.” 🥺

FACT: Healthy attachment and healthy sleep can absolutely coexist. 💛

Sleep training doesn’t mean you stop responding to your baby.

It doesn’t mean you stop comforting them.

And it definitely doesn’t mean your baby suddenly forgets the thousands of moments every single day when you hold them, feed them, play with them, comfort them, and show them that they are safe and loved.

Attachment is built through your relationship as a whole…not one bedtime.

Teaching your baby to fall asleep independently is exactly that:

Teaching a skill.

And there isn’t just ONE way to teach it.

Some families want more hands-on reassurance. Others are comfortable giving their baby more space. That’s why I don’t believe every family should follow the exact same sleep-training method.

We find the approach that works for your baby, your comfort level, and the way YOU want to parent.

You don’t have to choose between a securely attached baby and a well-rested one.

You can have both. 🧸

If babies could text…🤣

If this feels a little TOO personal, I promise your baby isn’t actually plotting your demise at 3 AM.

Frequent night wakings usually have a reason—and sometimes a few small changes can make a huge difference.

You don’t have to survive on caffeine and hope they’ll eventually figure it out.

Let’s figure out what’s keeping your little one awake and create a plan that works for your baby AND your parenting style. 💛

The cost of sleep deprivation is so much bigger than being tired.

It looks like…

•Exhaustion — dragging yourself through another day on broken sleep.

•Brain fog — forgetting what you were doing mid-task and feeling like you can’t think clearly.

•Anxiety — spending your entire day worrying about naps, bedtime and how many times you’ll be awake tonight.

•Relationship stress — snapping at your partner because you’re both running on empty.

•Burnout — feeling like you’re surviving parenthood instead of actually getting to enjoy it.

And somewhere along the way, parents were told this is simply the price you pay for having a baby.

But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Wanting your baby to sleep doesn’t make you selfish.

Wanting to sleep yourself doesn’t mean you’re putting your needs above theirs.

You can respond to your baby’s needs, stay true to your parenting style and teach them healthy, independent sleep skills.

Sometimes asking for help isn’t about getting your baby to sleep 12 hours.

It’s about getting your whole family back. 💛

This one HAS to be shared and it’s only day 5 of sleep training! 🥹

I am so incredibly proud of this family.

This sweet boy spent 11 months struggling with sleep apnea, underwent surgeries, and understandably developed so much fear and anxiety surrounding sleep. His parents weren’t sure sleep training would even be possible after everything he had been through.

And then… an ALL-NIGHTER. 😭👏🏼

Not because we ignored what he had been through.
Not because we forced him into a one-size-fits-all sleep plan.
But because we met him exactly where he was, respected his history, and helped him learn that sleep could finally feel safe.

His surgeries helped his body breathe and sleep better—and then we got to help him build the confidence and skills to actually sleep. 💛

Getting this message absolutely made my day:

“Our family loves you.”

But I hope they know how proud I am of THEM. They trusted the process, stayed consistent, loved that baby through every hard moment, and gave him the opportunity to do something they weren’t sure he would ever be able to do.

These are the families that remind me why I love this job so much.

Sweet boy, YOU DID IT. 🥹
And Mom & Dad…you did too.

THIS is why I do what I do. 💤

Things I hear on discovery calls ALL. THE. TIME. 👀

“My baby just isn’t a good sleeper.”
Maybe. But more often? Your baby hasn’t learned how to sleep independently yet. And that’s something we can work on. 💛

“We’ve tried EVERYTHING.”
You’ve tried rocking. Feeding. Earlier bedtime. Later bedtime. Taking away naps. Adding naps. Google. TikTok. That one thing your mother-in-law swore worked in 1992. 😂

The problem usually isn’t that you haven’t tried enough.

It’s that you’ve tried 47 different things without one consistent plan designed for YOUR baby.

And then there’s the big one…

“I’m scared to sleep train.”

I get it.

Because the internet has somehow convinced parents that sleep training means putting your baby in their crib, shutting the door and ignoring them until morning.

That’s not how I work.

There are different methods. Different levels of parental involvement. Different babies. Different families.

My job isn’t to hand every parent the exact same plan.

It’s to figure out what’s happening, educate you on why it’s happening, and create a plan that works for your baby without asking you to sacrifice the parenting style that matters to you.

So if you’re thinking…

“My baby will never sleep.”

I’ve heard that one too. 😉

And some of my favorite messages start a few days later with:

“YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS…” 😂🙌🏼💤

Let’s talk first. No judgment. No pressure. Just figuring out what’s going on and whether I can help. 💛
