Alexia - 15 Months Old "My hesitation for working with a sleep consultant was just that I wouldn't learn anything new or different from a consultant versus just reading up on it. But we were able to get rid of all sleep props with Erin’s help. She was very nice and thorough. I really enjoyed the informative and thoughtful emails:)" Chanell B. (Sleep Sense Client) Ellie 7 Months Old (Now 3 Years Old) Hi Erin! If you remember me, we hired you a few years back for my daughter, Ellie, when she was seven months old. I wanted to send you a note because we had another baby, and he's four months old now, and he's been sleeping through the night for the past two months. I just wanted to send you a little thank you because I feel like working with you helped us out with both of our kids. We went into this journey with more knowledge and confidence, and it has made our whole experience with a newborn SO MUCH BETTER! So, thank you! I had to share, this experience has been so much easier for the whole family! Ellie turned 3 on Friday, time is flying! Baby is my angel baby and has been sleeping through the night - waking at 5am from his dream feed at 10pm - since around 6 weeks old, and right until 7am at about 2 months. It's been such a positive experience we are almost tricked into having another one! Thanks again, so much, for helping my family! I will always sing your praises. Take care and be safe! Meagan O Sydney - 9.5 Months "Before hiring a sleep consultant my hesitations were putting time and money into it and it not working or not agreeing with the consultant’s approach. But we now have the ability to put our 10-month-old daughter into the crib awake and she self-soothes herself to sleep. She is sleeping for longer naps and 10-13 hrs at nights without waking. Plus, she no longer needs a bottle to fall asleep. Our plan was clear and easy to follow. Erin provided support through the process of sleep training and was easy to talk to. We enjoyed documenting our baby's sleep so we can see the progress. I would recommend Erin from To The Moon and Back Sleep Consulting to other parents going through sleep issues such as family, friends, and coworkers. Erin was committed to making this work with us. She wanted our daughter to sleep better. It was affordable and we got quite a bit of her time when we needed it.” Katrina P. Griffin - 6 Weeks “When my son was born it became apparent fairly quickly that he was not one to fall asleep on his own. He wouldn't nurse to sleep or just be put down to sleep at all. I would sometimes be able to rock him to sleep with a pacifier but it was taking hours. The worst was putting him down to sleep at night and it would take hours for me to get him to sleep. Also for the middle of the night wakings it was taking hours to get him back down to sleep even though it only took him 15 minutes to eat. After seeing some recommendations on facebook I contacted Erin and am so pleased I did. She put together an extensive sleep training plan for my guy. I started right away and saw results within a day. Erin was available for questions as needed and our check in phone calls. I also found the sleep log very useful to track how much sleep Griffin was actually getting. I am so happy Griffin now goes to sleep independently for naps and bedtime (including one middle of the night feeding) without a soother, swaddle or any other sleep props. I have people comment to me all the time how well he sleeps for his age and I explain a bit about sleep training and how much it has helped. Also because he is sleeping so well I was able to get back into my workout routine and am on my way to being fit again. Since started the sleep training I am down 20 pounds!” Christine & Michael S. Mack & Haddie I can't believe just how much you have helped my family and in so many ways. We never thought it was possible, but we now have our bed back! Our kids are sleeping through the night AND in their own beds - life changing! ... My son is a completely different boy now that he is well rested throughout the night and my daughter is finally taking her naps that she has so desperately needed. Your guidance, tips and tricks were the key to this whole process! - We can't thank you enough!!! Kristin M. Sarah - 6 Months "Before we started Erin’s sleep plan for our almost six-month-old daughter, it was almost impossible to put Sarah down for a nap. She had absolutely no skills in settling herself to sleep and, if we let her, she would wail for an hour before passing out. As a result, we were resigned to holding Sarah or otherwise trying to calm her down before every nap, or taking her for a car or stroller ride to make sure she got some sleep. Sometimes it could take up to an hour or longer to settle her. Once asleep, her naps were never longer than 20-30 minutes. We had a chronic cat-napper on our hands! Every trick that worked well for her older sister, who is an amazing sleeper, did not work for Sarah. This caused stress and exhaustion in our household. After seeing Erin highly recommended on a Facebook moms’ group, I knew we needed her help. I was so skeptical with her sleep plan at first thinking that in no way was it going to work—she just doesn’t know our daughter—but we stuck to it as best as we could and it worked far better than I could ever have hoped. In less than two weeks, it became so easy to put Sarah down for a nap (just one book and a short lullaby—no fussing!) and she never naps for less than an hour. She will gladly nap for 1.5-2.5 hours twice or more a day. Her sleep deprivation is going away and she is a much happier baby. The big bonus for us is that Sarah now also sleeps for 12 hours straight during the night, when before we would wake up every 2-4 hours to put her back to sleep. We didn’t think it was a problem—it was her lack of napping that concerned us—so this is such a nice surprise and we feel so lucky that we have our nights back for our own sleep! I don’t have enough good things to say about Erin. She was professional and friendly, thorough and knowledgeable, easy to contact, and prompt with all of her phone calls. She did the impossible for Sarah and our family. Thank you, Erin!" Jennifer P. Bennett - 4 Months Erin from To The Moon and Back Sleep Consulting is great! She was available for us every step of the way, even when we had a setback within our 3-week training that took us out of town and away from the routine. We can proudly say that we have a 4-month-old baby who consistently takes 3-4 naps per day and sleeps 9-10 hours a night, typically with one wake up (but he seems to be even moving away from this!!) We would highly recommend Erin and her consulting to any parent who is in need of a good night's sleep! Natalia M Bentley – 7 months old We were initially hesitant in hiring a Sleep Consultant worrying that it wouldn’t work in the end, and we would have wasted our time and money. Once we started working with Erin she was so encouraging and positive, provided prompt responses, and was flexible in her approaches when we needed adjustments putting our concerns at rest. Through our time with Erin we successfully transitioned Bentley to his crib, he naps very well on schedule, he always falls asleep on his own, he sleeps 12 straight hours every night. We also feel way more confident in every facet of our daily parenting. I would recommend Erin and To The Moon and Back Sleep consulting, and have already mentioned our success to other parents who have babies or toddlers that need to develop sleep skills. Erin offers as very personalized service. I wish I could go back in time and hire Erin when our first child was born! After a few sleepless years, we knew we couldn’t do that again with our second child. Erin gave us our freedom back. We committed to the program and our 7-month old son now naps like a champ during the day and sleeps 12 straight hours every night. Thank you Erin for your patience, insight, and support! Kira & Rob S. Felix - 10 Weeks Old
We were initially concerned about hiring a Sleep Consultant due to my sons age (10 weeks), we were concerned that he was too young, and the recommendations would be too strict. I was also worried that maybe I wouldn’t have the emotional fortitude to implement the recommendations. But once we started working with Erin she put our concerns at ease. Right from the beginning she explained to us that this would be a rollercoaster and reminded us of this throughout our time together. She is a Mom herself and has been through this with her own children. Her stepwise approach works to gradually build the baby’s skills, as well as the skills of the parents. She offers straight forward advice, and was always willing and open to meet us where we were at. Erin was always available to ask as many questions as we needed throughout the process. The WhatsApp texting allowed us to get fairly real time answers to questions or concerns as they came up. My little guy now sleeps in his crib, on his own for all of his sleep both during the day and at night! I put Felix down and he falls asleep on his own within 5-10 minutes, and there is very little fussing. When there is fussing I now have the skills to be able to help him settle without panicking. Felix sleeps 10 to 12 hours every night, along with 3 to 4 hours of daytime sleep. We are now a well-rested happy family, and are able to enjoy our time together!! I would recommend Erin to any parents who are struggling with sleep. I believe that quality sleep for parents and babies is invaluable for mental health, enjoyment, and development. Both my husband and I are really enjoying the experience of being new parents, even during a global pandemic, and I believe a large part of that is because the whole family is well rested. Thank you for guiding us through the process of helping Felix learn how to sleep! Henry & Theodore - 6 month old Twins
As first-time (twin!!) parents everything was overwhelming. Erin helped work with us, at our own pace, to create healthy sleep habits for our boys and by 5.5 months were in their own cribs sleeping 12 hours a night. She listened to us when we had concerns and issues and helped to resolve them immediately. We are very grateful for Erin and everything she helps us accomplish with our rockstar sleeping boys!! I would recommend Erin to all parents that value a good night's sleep! Bohdan 14 months
At first we were hesitant about hiring a sleep consultant because everything that we had tried didn’t work. But once we took the plunge we were so happy that we did. Erin made the process to get Bohdan to sleep clear and easy to follow. Now almost every night our little guy sleeps through the night without any, or much, fuss, and actually naps during the day! Thanks to Erin's program I have my evenings and nights free, without running to the baby to get him back to sleep again, and again. Bohdan is able to sleep by himself, and our household has been able to sleep more and worry less. I would recommend Erin’s services to any parents struggling with their child's sleep patterns! Thanks to partnering with Erin our baby is able to get the rest he needs, and so can we! Logan 6 weeks - 3.5 months
"My newborn did not like to go to sleep he would fight it for hours. I could sometimes feed him to sleep wait for him to go into a deep sleep than transfer him but that was hit and miss. All my friend's newborns were great sleepers and I was scared to try sleep training so early. Erin gave me the confidence and assurance that I needed to do gentle sleep training at 2 months. After 3 days he had improved a lot and by the time he was 5 months old, he was amazing. No more crying or fussing just snuggles his lovey and goes to sleep. Erin is a lifesaver!" Kristina K. Lily - 5.5 months "We were at the end of our rope with our almost 6-month-old daughter. I had fallen into the trap of either nursing or rocking her to sleep, but really no one in the house was actually getting any sleep. She was napping for no more than 30 mins each time and waking every 2 hours throughout the night. We were all zombies, so late one night I did a desperate search for a sleep consultant. Erin was recommended by other local moms on a Facebook group, so with our fingers crossed, we took the plunge. It was scary at first. I didn't want anyone else to know. I felt embarrassed that I couldn't figure out how to get my own child to sleep and thought I would be judged negatively by anyone who found out. But after a very short time with Erin, I realized how crazy I was being and truthfully could not care less what anyone else thought of us because the results have been incredible! Our daughter now has three solid naps a day and sleeps through the night! I'm still in shock by the huge difference this has made in our lives. Not only is our daughter happier and more well rested, but we are too! My only other hesitation was the cost. Yes, it's a hefty sum of money, but I only regret not calling Erin sooner. She does not simply give you a cookie cutter plan, she fully customized and adapted our plan during our time together. Erin was very prompt with answering all of our questions and was adamant on our success. Yes, there were some very hard days, yes there was some crying (from both of us!), but with a little pep talk from Erin and some encouragement we got through it. I would fully recommend Erin for anyone who is having difficulties with their little ones sleeping!"
Nikki W. Max - 2.75 YO "We thought that we were doing everything right to give our son the best chance at sleeping well. Erin's' expertise and knowledge proved to us that in certain situations, a specialist is required to get the results that are necessary to have and maintain a content, happy and rested household. We have only the odd night waking compared to multiple times a night. We are all accumulating sleep and keeping up on it as opposed to living in our previous chronic sleep deprived states.
Now that we have the knowledge of what works with our son within our expectations as a household, we are all much better rested, happier and much more able to enjoy the time together as a family. That is priceless. Sleep is priceless and is proving to be the backbone in our family’s ability to be content! Even our friends and family are noticing the difference. I would tell anyone who will listen that this was well worth the time, effort and money. Erin is a real person. She is genuine and kind, understanding and funny. We handed our sleep struggles over to her and immediately felt a sense of relief. We were confident that she would walk us gently through this transition period with ease and she did!! If anything slips, we're now confident that we have the tools in place to move forward instead of falling back into the habits that ended up causing us the struggle to begin with. She worked with us in our unique situations to find the best route to achieving our sleep goals. There isn't a black and white answer and she will work hard to find what will work for your child. I am grateful to have had Erin's help." Chelsea C. Oliver - 9 months “In the beginning, I was worried that either I didn't need help and could/should be able to do it on my own and that if I couldn't get my child sleeping, nobody could. But Oliver now sleeps through the night and we have a solid sleeping schedule. We even survived our first sickness with the new routine! He still only has mostly 2 forty minute naps per day but luckily, we have the plan and skills to be able to make this work for Oliver and our family. Although we are still working on the naps I didn't realize what a difference the consolidated night sleep would have on Oliver's daytime temperament.
I am so glad we were recommended Erin Neri as our sleep consultant. She was easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. What I liked most about Erin is that she doesn't just give you a plan to blindly follow, she teaches about good sleep habits and explains the importance of the process so that you understand. This understanding gives you the confidence you need as a family to be able to manage your child's sleep schedule. We are now all getting the sleep we need!” Jaime S. Henry - 6 YO & George - 3.75 YO "My 3 and 6 year would not go to sleep independently. Either my husband or I had lay down with them until they fell asleep. This taking sometimes up to an hour. If our 3 year old had a nap during the day, even a 5 minute one, it would take hours for us to get him to fall asleep at night. Once they were asleep, our 3 year would come into our room several times a night. No one was sleeping. Our 3 year old was often cranky during the day. My husband and I were not sure if we wanted to spend the money on a sleep consultant and it not work for our two boys. They are strong willed boys. What we were doing was not working so we hired the "Sleep Fairy, Erin." It was the best money we have spent in a while. Both boys go to bed independently and stay in bed all night, even if they are not sleeping at home. If my 3 year old has a nap, he still goes to bed on time. We are all getting a good night sleep. Everyone is in a better mood during the day.”
Catherine S. Katelyn 6.5 Months At first, my husband and I thought: “This is a normal phase that will pass.” A month later and she was still waking up every two hours at night. That’s when we decided to call Erin and we are so glad that we did!
Knowing that Erin came highly recommended and was someone in our community made the decision very easy. I like how she was completely understanding and acknowledged our problems. I also appreciated how she had a quick and simple answer to all of our questions. EVERYONE is able to get the sleep that we need. We know that we can put her down for the night and that will put herself to sleep. It usually takes about 5 minutes, during which she coos herself asleep (I like to think that she is signing herself a lullaby). We also have a more consistent and predictable nap schedule, which helps us in so many ways. And to top it all off, my husband and I are able to spend time together in the evenings without the baby; which is allowing us to feel more like ourselves. We also know that we can leave in the evenings, and that our baby won’t wake up, and if she does, she can put herself back to sleep without our help. 100% no questions asked. I would recommend anyone who thinks: “I never knew I could be this tired with a baby.” It’s so easy to think “this is normal, it will pass, it’s just a phase” but it’s not. Such an invaluable experience that I recommend to anyone. Samantha S. Mackenzie - 9 months
"I seriously doubted that this would work; I was absolutely convinced Mackenzie was just one of those babies who didn't sleep. I hesitated to spend the money, but honestly, it was so worth it! When you told me at the start she would be sleeping 12 hours straight within a few weeks - I laughed. Hard. You clearly didn't "know" my baby - haha! Low and behold, not only do I have a baby that sleeps, she's a champion sleeper!! I'm just glad I didn't make a bet with you - because I'd have lost! She now goes to sleep on her own, without complaining, and sleeps all night! She also has two awesome naps a day. When I doubted myself, you gave me the confidence that I could do this! Since completing your program I have more time to spend with my older daughter, with my husband and on myself! Plus, I get to sleep longer than 1 hour and 37 minute stretches at night! Which sort of rocks! I would recommend Erin from To The Moon and Back Sleep Consulting to anyone that thinks "babies just don't sleep"! They can! And it's amazing!!" Jaimie P |
