When Elliott was 8 months old he was still waking multiple times throughout the night and naps were a major struggle (and often only achieved in a stroller or car seat after failed attempts to get him to nap in his crib). He was only achieving sleep by being nursed and rocked into a deep sleep … and then carefully transferred into his crib while we held our breath and crossed our fingers! We knew this wasn’t sustainable for any of us, and that it was important for Elliott to learn how to self soothe and achieve sleep on his own. We were confident that he was capable of learning this important skill but were unsure about the best way to teach him. Enter: Jillian! Jillian calmly and patiently listened to the challenges we were facing and then created a step-by-step plan to help us teach Elliott to learn to sleep and soothe himself. Jillian was supportive and encouraging. She was excellent with communication and readily available to answer question. She kept us on track and made sure we stayed true to the plan we had created. Within 1 week Elliott was sleeping 11 hours at night and napping in his crib twice a day. The experience was truly life changing for our family!
