Greyson was 3 months old and sleeping 8:30pm to 5:30am straight without waking.

Phoebe didn't get lucky with an easy baby.

She got clear, specific guidance in the newborn stage early enough to build a foundation that actually held.

That is what The Right Start session is designed to do.

The four month sleep regression doesn't have to be the thing everyone warned you about.

The families who move through it most smoothly are the ones who understood their baby's sleep early enough to set the right foundations before things changed.

The Right Start session is how we do that together.

90 minutes, your specific baby, and a clear plan for the first four months and beyond.

If you’re in the thick of newborn sleep and nothing makes sense, this is for you.

In a Newborn Call, we map what’s happening (feeds, naps, witching hour, nights), and I give you a simple step-by-step plan you can start the same day.

A 7-week-old sleeping two 5.5-hour stretches and napping in the bassinet for the first time ever within 24 hours of a single session, plus a 2.5-month-old sleeping through the night by 13 weeks with no tears, no paci, and no rocking.

These aren't outliers.

They happen when a parent finally understands their baby's sleep and has a plan built specifically around their baby.

The four month sleep regression doesn't come out of nowhere.

It's almost always connected to patterns that formed quietly in the first few weeks.

Those patterns made complete sense at the time, and they become harder to work with as your baby develops.

The Right Start session is how we get ahead of that before it becomes overwhelming.

If you're awake right now wondering if any of this is normal, this is for you.

The short naps.

The unpredictable nights.

The feeling that everyone else seems to have figured something out that you haven't.

The newborn stage doesn't have to feel this hard.

It feels this hard because nobody explained it to you before you were too exhausted to think straight.

Survival mode is what happens when nobody explains newborn sleep to you before you're deep in it.

It doesn't have to be that way.

The newborn stage is the most important window for building the sleep foundations that carry your baby through the four month mark and beyond.

90 minutes with the right person can change everything about how this stage feels.

If you've been convinced that your newborn's sleep is broken, this is your sign that it isn't.

Short naps, frequent night wakings, and the inability to be put down are not habits you created. They are developmental realities that make complete sense once someone explains them to you.

That is exactly what The Right Start session is for.

The parents who feel calm in the newborn stage aren't calmer people.

They just have a clear plan built around their specific baby, rather than a collection of conflicting tips from the internet.

The Right Start is my 90-minute private session for newborn parents who want to understand their baby's sleep before things get hard.

I've helped over 1,500 families navigate this stage. The ones who do it with the least chaos are almost always the ones who got clear guidance early.

Rowan needed a doc-a-tot, a Brezza mat, and a moving SNOO to sleep.

After one session, he was sleeping in his crib without any of them, because his sleep foundation finally matched what he needed.

He was napping over an hour and sleeping through the night with no motion at all at 3 months old.

This isn't about taking things away or being strict.

It is about understanding what your baby actually needs, so you're building a foundation that holds instead of layering props that become harder to remove the longer they stay.
