If you have a baby that isn’t sleeping and/or are apprehensive about sleep training, LeaAnne at Nested and Rested is the answer to your prayers.

Our 5 month old was waking up 5 plus times a night, had to be put down asleep and was hardly napping during the day. My husband really wanted to sleep train our son, but every fiber of my mama being was against it. I knew we had to do something, but I had heard and read so many negative things about sleep training and as tired as I was, I just couldn’t imagine letting my baby “cry it out.” On top of that I was overwhelmed by the number of sleep training programs out there or if they were going to be a fit for us.

I stumbled across LeaAnne by chance after a social media post I made looking for answers and after just 15 minutes of talking to her I knew she was our girl and that I could do this. LeaAnne listened to our struggles, my fears, talked through what our goals were and what my comfort level was as far as sleep training and crying. I felt so heard by her and reassured that we could still have our son sleeping while staying within the limits I needed to set to be comfortable.

The night we talked to LeaAnne we decided to cancel our travel plans for the upcoming weekend and dive in. I can’t explain how much better I felt knowing that there was something we could do that wasn’t going to be awful for me and my baby. We scheduled our next call, talked through all of the details and started the next night.

LeaAnne sent us an extremely detailed plan including everything we needed to get our son sleeping at bedtime, nap time and different ways we could adjust things if needed for me to be comfortable. We saw significant improvement within the first day and within just a few days of starting, our sweet boy was sleeping through the night in his own bed. He was also being put down awake, putting himself back to sleep if he woke up, taking 3 naps a day and overall a much happier baby.

Partnering with LeaAnne was the best thing we could have done. She encouraged and supported us the whole way through and was able to answer any questions that came up. Having her guidance and support made me feel confident and more comfortable during what could have been an extremely difficult and emotional process. I never felt like we were fumbling through anything or learning by trial and error which made the whole process really smooth. She completely changed my perspective on sleep training and showed me that sleep training doesn’t have to mean leaving your baby to “cry it out.” I wish I could back in time a week and show myself where we are today!
