I recently received a testimonial from a lovely family whose life has been transformed for the better by a good night's sleep. Hearing that a child is more happy is one of the most common - and rewarding - things I hear after sleep training. It's so great that child and parents are now more rested and more happy! Here is what Oksana had to say about sleep training her daughter, Veronika:
"After almost a whole year of being without sleep at night and proper rest in the day time I felt physically worn out. I can’t thank Dawnn enough, she created a new daily routine and sleeping program for our baby and changed this situation completely. Our beautiful daughter now sleeps through the night and she became a much happier child.
Thank you so much Dawnn! We will highly recommend you to any parents who need a sleeping consultant."

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season celebrated with family and friends. It's hard to believe it's already 2012!
Today I wanted to pass on some information from one of my clientsabout her business selling the Arbonne skincare line. As a mom, she fell in love with the products and decided to take her passion into a business. Here's what she had to say about the clean-rinsing Arbonne baby line that solved skin issues with her sons:
"The baby lotion worked on my youngest when nothing seemed to soothe his dry skin. The diaper cream is great for diaper rash as well as eczema. All three of my boys suffer from eczema and I was using a steroid cream to combat it, which I didn’t like, now all I need is Arbonne’s Diaper cream and it disappears fast!"
Check out Kim's website or Facebook page for more about the ABC Baby Care set as well as products for the whole family. Arbonne products are healthy, botanically based and inspired by nature.

I just got an update from Marie about life after sleep training her youngest boy, Julien. Julien is the third child in the family, but the first to love being in bed thanks to his early sleep coaching. Many children who learn sleep skills early are ones who find their beds a welcome experience as they grow up. Here's what Marie had to say:
"I really want to thank you for your help with Julien's sleep training! Julien is 6 months now and he is a very good sleeper....a lot because of the sleep training. He sleeps until 6:30-7:00 every morning and takes very good naps. I am so happy to have been able, because of your advice, to extend his naps. He still often wake up after 40 minutes but falls back asleep within 5 minutes. Unlike my 2 other sons, he likes to be in his bed awake... maintly, because I teach him to fall asleep by himself without any props. Often, I don't realized in the morning that he is awake... I just see him on the baby monitor looking around!!! I also know when I put him in his bed around 12h00 that I have a good 2h00... which is fantastic!!!!
Your advice was so precious. You also gave me confidence that I was doing the right thing... and this was very important for me. I have now a confortable routine with Julien but I am also very flexible with this routine. He was sick at the beginning of October and I had to give him milk during the night (he was so congested...) but as soon as he got better... I did some sleep training and he was again sleeping through the night within 2 nights!!!! I am a happy, rested and confident mother... a big thanks to you!!!!"
This is what I hear the most often from my clients, and what makes me so happy as a sleep consultant and parenting coach: the ability to give parents confidence.
