Good Sleep From Birth

Pacifer roulette, bedtime battles, false starts, feeding challenges, 3am parties, colic and witching hours - surely those are just tales from your friends... or are they?

If your family priortizes sleep and you know you'd like sleep to start off right, Katie and her team can help you and your baby lay healthy sleep foundations from birth.

Sound too good to be true? IT's NOT! Beautiful sleep for you and your baby can begin from birth.

When done correctly (and from a seasoned baby sleep pro), your baby's sleep will progress in a holistic manner that is supportive to their biology. No CIO or 'sleep training' needed!

Success Stories

Katie helped us with our triplets the day we came home from the hospital. We consulted with her regarding feeding, schedules, sleep, routine and in general, how to manage all three infants and our 3 year old toddler.  It was extremely helpful in organizing our hectic household and daily routine. By the middle of the of the 4th month, all three babies were sleeping through the night! We couldn’t believe it and neither could our friends or family. We would 100% recommend Katie and The Early Weeks to any parent, whether you have a singleton or multiples!

Katie is a lifesaver. This is our second time using Katie. She originally helped us get our 1-year-old sleeping through the night and when sickness majorly derailed our sleep routine, she was a huge resource in guiding us to getting him back on track. He went from refusing to sleep without being held (night and naps) to independently sleeping within 2 days and we couldn't be more thankful. Any parent who has experienced the exhaustion and desperateness that comes from a toddler who refuses to sleep will understand how invaluable her knowledge and tools are. She was incredibly responsive and always checked in to make sure we were doing ok.

Working with Katie has been a blessing to our family. My husband and I are first time parents to a two-year-old with special needs and we literally never slept through the night until we started working with Katie. The transition was significantly easier than we expected and the constant support and feedback she provided were pivotal to our success. We struggled through many training methods beforehand, but having a professional guide us through the process was invaluable and gave us the confidence we needed to implement a good routine for the whole family. We all sleep much better and we can make our family time more purposeful now because we've left many stressors behind. We very strongly recommend The Early Weeks.

As first time parents to twins, my wife and I found Katie’s expertise and unique skill set as a Newborn Care Specialist to be incredibly valuable. She is professional, knows how to handle NICU/preemie babies and is an excellent educator. Her proficiency in getting infants on an age appropriate routine, establishing healthy sleep habits and helping babies learn to sleep through the night is a wonderful talent and amazing gift for new families.

Above all, she helped us become confident new parents and gave us the peace of mind we needed. Katie is fantastic and we cannot recommend her enough!

As soon as we met Katie we knew we had found the right person to care for Henry. She not only took great care of our son but also helped us address some sleep challenges he was having. He was held for the majority of his naps during the newborn period. At 3 months of age, he was transitioned to his crib and would only take 30-45 minute naps. As a result, he was overtired most days.

On the very first day, Katie had some great suggestions to his schedule and how Henry was prepped for naps that made an immediate difference. With Katie’s guidance, our son is now consistently taking a 1.5 hour morning nap, a 2-hour afternoon nap, and a 30-minute catnap. As a result of his improved nap schedule, Henry is also consistently sleeping 12 hours each night!

As a pediatrician who cares for infants and children on a daily basis, I would wholeheartedly recommend Katie to any family with a newborn, infant, or multiples. Our family was so lucky to find her. She has made a huge impact on Henry’s sleep and we can’t thank her enough for working with him and our family through this transition.

Katie was the knowledge resource I had been seeking and hadn’t found in my previous newborn care provider. I was desperately seeking someone to help my husband and me with nighttime duties and to establish a routine to follow since all I seemed to be doing was feeding the baby and trying to get him to sleep.

As soon as we started implementing her sleep training guidelines, feeding recommendations and schedule our life got so much better! Our son was happier with a schedule, we were happier with a schedule. Our baby was sleeping which meant we were too!

As a Newborn Care Specialist, Katie is trained to spot things that some parents may not be aware of such as positional plagiocephaly and torticollis. Our son had both, which we did not know, but she immediately pointed out. She readily made suggestions to keep it from rapidly progressing which included specific stretches, special swaddling and seeing a physical therapist.

Katie is a game-changer in the world of newborn care and the only resource of her kind in the Treasure Valley. If you are a new parent or about to be one and like the idea of having a happy, rested baby, Katie is for you!

As a single professional adopting twin boys for the first time, I knew the first few weeks were going to be daunting. Katie helped prepare me for their arrival and then was an integral part of the first 5 weeks of my life with the boys. She was not only a caregiver for the babies but an educator and coach for me and others who came to help and see the babies.

Katie was indispensable in our trip home with the babies. The chaos of luggage, babies, strollers and taking milk and accessories for two through the airport and getting to connections on a 10-hour journey was much easier with Katie along. Her pragmatic approach and ability to think about logistics, planning and the babies’ needs meant we had a pain free trip.

Katie is the best investment that I could have made in the boys' lives and my life. Thanks to her, all of us are on a good trajectory. I’ve learned so much and gained confidence as a new mother.Mother of twins,

When my baby was about 10 weeks old, I hit a wall. I was exhausted, and not sleeping was contributing to a lot of emotional and physical discomfort that was getting in the way of enjoying my new baby. My son was frequently “fussy” throughout the day and night, often taking hours of bouncing on an exercise ball to calm him and get him to sleep for just an hour or two.

During the day she was with us, Katie was able to help us understand what our son was trying to tell us through his behavior. She shifted our perspective in a way that has made us very intuitive and continues to make us feel much more confident about understanding his needs. Looking back, I feel terrible about telling everyone that our baby was “fussy,” when actually he was just really tired and needed our help sleeping! Our baby is now a great sleeper, predictably sleeping for about 12 hours, waking up once to nurse and going right back to sleep.

Our whole family is more rested and my son is noticeably happier. He now has the energy to play and grow, and he is a delight to take out with us to most places we want to go. I would highly recommend Katie’s services. It truly is a gift that keeps on giving!

Katie came HIGHLY recommended to us and I was so desperate to get our 20-month-old out of our bed when I reached out to her. I was undeniably overwhelmed & had no idea where to start. We did a 2-week course with her and it was truly life-changing. By the end of week one, our daughter was sleeping in her own bed with very few tears. We had such great success that I asked for Katie’s help with our older daughter as well.

Prior to hiring Katie, our 4-year-old was needing to have the tv on to fall asleep and it was taking her an hour or more each night to close her eyes. She helped us prepare our daughter to sleep without tv and they’ve now both been falling asleep, in their own beds, WITHOUT sleep crutches for over a month.

We are incredibly grateful for Katie, her patience, expertise and guidance. She answered all of our texts and phone calls without hesitation. She was so thorough and patient in her responses and was there to cheer us on at a time when we felt defeated. We feel like our marriage is thriving now that we have our bed back and our daughters are getting the sleep we know they so desperately need. (As are we.) I will recommend her a hundred times over and plan to use her again for any future children we may have.

When we found Katie, our twin 8-month-old boys were bed-sharing with us, bottle-fed to sleep, waking 2-3 times a night to feed, and had never slept in their cribs. We were in a bad place and I wasn’t sure how we were going to change it. I secretly hoped that maybe they’d just grow out of it.

At first, my husband was on the fence about hiring a sleep consultant but was willing to try anything to get the boys out of our bed and sleeping on their own.

The day before Katie arrived I asked my husband, “ Can you imagine what life would be like if this works?” He said, “ No, it is incomprehensible and it would be like we won the lotto.” I am forever grateful that we bought that “lotto ticket” and hired Katie.

The results were far more than we ever expected. The boys were sleeping through the night, on their own, in their cribs by the second night! We could not have done this without Katie’s knowledge and support. Thank you, Katie!!

I am an exhausted momma of two sets of twins. The lack of sleep has paid a toll on my body. I was desperate for my babies to sleep so I could be a healthier me and a better mom and needed help quick. Katie came to the rescue! She is worth every penny and more. Katie went above and beyond in helping me get my 6-month old babies to sleep. She is very knowledgeable in all areas of a baby’s needs. She truly cares and is invested in helping you and your babies succeed. She is very professional, so warm and friendly, and down to earth. She makes the process easy and makes sure you and babies are comfortable with whatever she is recommending. If something doesn’t work for ya she finds another solution. I am excited to say my babies are sleeping through the night and I am a less exhausted momma with the help of Katie! I am so glad I found her...Thank-you Katie for all you have done to help my family.
