Carmen helped us for two weeks but the change was so huge it felt much longer. Before Carmen, our 10 month old daughter was sleeping in our bed between us, with feeds every 3 or so hours during the night, and needed her mom to feed her to sleep, after which there was often a struggle to settle her down. At the end of the two weeks, she was in her own bed, not feeding at all during the night, and she is no longer dependent on her mother to fall asleep. The difference is huge. A few days after our time with Carmen came to an end, we even moved her into her own room! It’s so hard to know what to do as first time parents, Carmen's advice and support was exactly what we needed.

TL;DR: Working with Carmen truly changed our lives ❤️ Our 5-month-old boy now has an age-appropriate routine, has learned to fall asleep independently, connect his sleep cycles, and self-soothe. As a result, he's sleeping much longer stretches and is down to just one feed per night. Our whole family is now happier, healthier, and finally getting the rest we need!
Our little boy used to only fall asleep while nursing or being bounced on a yoga ball, and he would only take contact naps. We reached out to Carmen when the 4-month sleep regression hit us hard, with 4+ night wakings and constant struggles to get him back to sleep. The sleep deprivation, endless contact naps, and being a human pacifier were really affecting my wellbeing, so we decided to start sleep coaching—and it was the best decision we ever made!
We are incredibly grateful for all the personalised support, ongoing feedback, and encouragement Carmen provided throughout the process. We could never have achieved these results by simply following advice from the internet. I highly recommend working with a professional like Carmen. It truly made all the difference for our family and we can't recommend her highly enough!

If someone would have told us that our son will be sleeping through the night after the baby sleep coaching, we would have not believed it! Carmen helped us so much, with lots of patience. We are much calmer and more confident bringing him to bed in the evening. We can’t thank Carmen enough for her support!

I was burned out, with a baby that didn’t sleep and crying. When I met Carmen, my world not only became better for my child, but for us as a family as well. With her guidance and care, I learned mechanisms to easy my child into a routine for sleep. She took us under her wing, offering advices, tips and ways to change little things that have greater impact. Her ability to include all our wishes and needs, into a healthy family schedule changed our perspective and allowed us to connect as a family.
I appreciated her, when my child was bigger and with kindness she reminded me that with age needs change as well, and again lent a hand to support our new sleeping routine.
I cannot imagine not doing sleep coaching with Carmen, she is kind and really invested in helping families improve sleep management long term. All her advices I still apply them to this day, sometimes even on me

Our 15-month-old had never been a great sleeper, typically waking every 2-3 hours her whole life. Recently, things had gotten worse: she was awake for 1-2 hours in the middle of the night, going to bed later, and waking up earlier. We were exhausted—sleeping in separate rooms, nursing endlessly, and bouncing a heavy toddler on a yoga ball until our backs ached. We had convinced ourselves she was just a "low sleep need" baby and we had to accept the situation. We were also highly skeptical of all the 5-star reviews. They sounded too good to be true. Surely this wouldn't work for our child.
But we were wrong! Carmen helped us turn the situation around completely. She was very supportive and understanding, keeping in mind our wish to always respond to our child. She provided daily feedback and replied to all of our questions. Of course, changing sleep habits can cause some frustration, but there was so much less crying and the transition was so much smoother than we had ever anticipated. The results were immediate. The first few nights, our daughter started sleeping 5-8 hour stretches, waking only once per night. After a week, she started sleeping through the night! She now consistently sleeps 12-13 hours straight at night and takes a solid 2-hour lunch nap. The coaching also helped us night-wean, which was surprisingly easy. I still happily nurse during the day, which hasn't been affected, but I know that full weaning will be so much easier now when the time comes.
Beyond finally getting our evenings and our own sleep back, the biggest benefit is psychological. We no longer dread bedtime, multiple night wakings, or even the tiniest sound from the baby monitor. No more yoga-ball backaches! If she does wake up (which can of course happen occasionally, e.g., from sickness or a bad dream), we are at ease. We don't panic because we know exactly what to do, and the process to settle her isn't erratic or exhausting anymore.
The most amazing part is seeing the change in our daughter. She actually looks forward to bedtime now, anticipating each step and actively participating in the routine. She even says good night to her plush toys! She must have been trapped in a massive cycle of overtiredness, and seeing her happy and well-rested brings us so much joy.

Highly recommend! Our 6 month old was waking up every hour before we started working with Carmen. 2 weeks later, we have just 1-2 wake ups per night to feed, and bedtime is stress-free. It has made the biggest difference in our quality of life, I finally feel like myself again and all 3 of us are happier!
We actually tried sleep training ourselves previously but failed because we were nervous and not at all confident in our approach. We really needed Carmen's expertise. Some highlights include:
- Personalized approach to fit our family
- Helped us align as a couple on the best plan and stick to it
- Plan specific to the age of our baby, but also information on how to adapt for each age - perfect!
- Fast feedback on how each day goes helps you learn, figure out different scenarios and feel more confident
- Carmen considers many different factors to troubleshoot issues - food, environment, etc.
- Provided a lot of information on each aspect of the training and resources to help us plan for additional scenarios
- Super encouraging! We appreciated it so much - especially in our sleep deprived state.
Thank you Carmen!

We can highly recommend Carmen to anyone who struggles with their babies sleep and is tired of endless breastfeeding during the night. She has supported us greatly and we are more than happy with how our baby sleep has improved within only a couple of weeks where Carmen has supported us daily. Many thanks ♥️

We are very satisfied and did not expect that the sleep training would work so well after such a short time. Our 7 month old baby slept through the night for 11 hours during the first few days of training.
Carmen is very committed and the material that she tailors to you and makes available to you as a PDF gives you a lot of knowledge that you can then put into practice. Through the daily protocol and Carmen's daily feedback, you can refine the knowledge and apply it correctly.
Carmen makes a lot of effort to answer all the questions and guide you correctly and never gets tired of repeating everything until you understand it and implement it correctly. The final document also gives you important information on all relevant topics in the future so that you feel in good hands.
We've heard from other moms about other sleep coaches, and it doesn't seem to be nearly as detailed as Carmen's. We recommend them without reservation.
Thank you, Carmen!

Carmen helped us go from waking up every 2 hrs at night, to only 2 wake ups (within 1 week). We also went from having the baby only fall asleep on my breasts to falling asleep independently. I am so happy with our progress, and I'm convinced that this isn't only better for us, but also for the baby. He is finally getting the deep, restorative sleep he needs to develop. Carmen provided us with a detailed personalized sleep plan ahead of our 2 week sleep training program, and was by our side via google doc dring the entire process. It felt great being taken by the hand by a compassionate expert like Carmen. Thank you, Carmen!

Dear Else, thanks so much for your lovely words! I'm so happy to hear about the amazing progress you and your little one have made! Going from waking every 2 hours to just 2 wake-ups in a week is fantastic, and having your baby fall asleep independently is such a wonderful milestone!You're absolutely right that good sleep benefits everyone in the family - especially your little one who's now getting that deep, restorative sleep that's so crucial for development. It makes my heart happy to know he's thriving!It was truly a joy to support you through this journey with the personalized sleep plan and our daily check-ins. I love being there every step of the way for families like yours!Thank you for your trust and for sharing your success story! Here's to many more peaceful nights for all of you! ????Warmly,Carmen1 year ago

Many thanks to Carmen as our sleeping coach. We participated in a training program as our daughter was not sleeping through the night and we really had some struggles such as temper, being tired during the day etc.. She was doing an intensive pre analyises about our current situation and we have received a long document about our situation at home and what would be the key drivers. During the progam Carmen and we as partents worked closely together by filling in a document on a regular basis. We have received feedback everyday, which we could implement in our daily life. Addtional calls gave us the opportunity to appraoch Carmen with our topics. The program was chaning our life and even though people told us, they could have done it for less, it was not true in our case - otherwise they would! We have contacted Carmen twice during our journey and are absolutly satisfied with the outcome. She answered all of our questions in a written form e.g. traveling with a baby, moving into the kids room...which at the time was not the topic, but we already knew we would face them anyways at a later point in life.
Hence, again many thanks and we wish you all the best Carmen!

At 10 months, our son used to wake up every 45 hours and there were endless night feeds. He would only sleep through rocking and we are sharing our family bed with him. Nothing was going right as far as sleep was concerned and all three of us were sleep deprived. After we contacted Carmen, we did a 15 minutes call where I shared all the challenges and important details. Then we filled a quiz. Afterwords we received a personalized sleep plan, soothing technique and an age specific routine. As we followed the plan Carmen provided us step by step guidance. We didn't feel that we were doing it alone. Unfortunately our son got sick 10 days into the coaching and we had to pause. But we resumed after he was ready again. Now our son is able sleep with much less effort and he settles himself back to sleep at night. He sleeps in his own cot and he needs one night feed. I highly recommend sleep coaching.
Response from the owner
Dear Mariam,Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm so glad to hear about your baby's sleep progress - going from waking every 45 minutes to being able to settle himself back to sleep is a remarkable step forward. Thank you for highlighting that even when we hit a bump in the road with illness, we were able to pause and successfully resume the sleep coaching once your son was feeling better.I really appreciate you mentioning the detailed process of our work together, from the initial call to the personalized plan and ongoing support. It's wonderful to see how your little boy has adapted to his own cot and developed good & healthy sleep skills.Your family's success means so much to me, and I'm delighted to have been part of your journey to more restful nights!Take care and sleep well,Carmen2 years ago

We were struggling with the sleep of our 14 months baby who used to co-sleep in our bed. Carmen helped us get her to sleep in her own bed in two weeks (amazing I know). We reached out to her again after travel and helped us to get the sleep back on track. We are very grateful for Carmen’s help and dedication. She went above and beyond to help and support us through the process. Highly recommended 🙂
Response from the owner
Dear Rachida,Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's great to hear about your sweet daughter's successful transition to her own bed - and in just two weeks! I'm particularly glad that you reached out again after traveling, as schedule disruptions are so common, and it's important for families to know they can get back on track.Your trust in coming back for support means a lot to me. It's been a pleasure helping your family achieve better sleep not once, but twice!Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. Wishing your family many more peaceful nights ahead!Take care and keep your confidence,Carmen2 years ago

Of course, changing sleep habits can cause some frustration, but there was so much less crying and the transition was so much smoother than we had ever anticipated. The results were immediate. The first few nights, our daughter started sleeping 5-8 hour stretches, waking only once per night. After a week, she started sleeping through the night! She now consistently sleeps 12-13 hours straight at night and takes a solid 2-hour lunch nap. The coaching also helped us night-wean, which was surprisingly easy. I still happily nurse during the day, which hasn't been affected, but I know that full weaning will be so much easier now when the time comes.
Beyond finally getting our evenings and our own sleep back, the biggest benefit is psychological. We no longer dread bedtime, multiple night wakings, or even the tiniest sound from the baby monitor. No more yoga-ball backaches! If she does wake up (which can of course happen occasionally, e.g., from sickness or a bad dream), we are at ease. We don't panic because we know exactly what to do, and the process to settle her isn't erratic or exhausting anymore.
The most amazing part is seeing the change in our daughter. She actually looks forward to bedtime now, anticipating each step and actively participating in the routine. She even says good night to her plush toys! She must have been trapped in a massive cycle of overtiredness, and seeing her happy and well-rested brings us so much joy.

Many thanks to Carmen as our sleeping coach. We participated in a training program as our daughter was not sleeping through the night and we really had some struggles such as temper, being tired during the day etc.. She was doing an intensive pre analyises about our current situation and we have received a long document about our situation at home and what would be the key drivers. During the progam Carmen and we as partents worked closely together by filling in a document on a regular basis. We have received feedback everyday, which we could implement in our daily life. Addtional calls gave us the opportunity to appraoch Carmen with our topics. The program was chaning our life and even though people told us, they could have done it for less, it was not true in our case - otherwise they would! We have contacted Carmen twice during our journey and are absolutly satisfied with the outcome. She answered all of our questions in a written form e.g. traveling with a baby, moving into the kids room...which at the time was not the topic, but we already knew we would face them anyways at a later point in life.
Hence, again many thanks and we wish you all the best Carmen!

At 10 months, our son used to wake up every 45 hours and there were endless night feeds. He would only sleep through rocking and we are sharing our family bed with him. Nothing was going right as far as sleep was concerned and all three of us were sleep deprived. After we contacted Carmen, we did a 15 minutes call where I shared all the challenges and important details. Then we filled a quiz. Afterwords we received a personalized sleep plan, soothing technique and an age specific routine. As we followed the plan Carmen provided us step by step guidance. We didn't feel that we were doing it alone. Unfortunately our son got sick 10 days into the coaching and we had to pause. But we resumed after he was ready again. Now our son is able sleep with much less effort and he settles himself back to sleep at night. He sleeps in his own cot and he needs one night feed. I highly recommend sleep coaching.

Dear Mariam,Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm so glad to hear about your baby's sleep progress - going from waking every 45 minutes to being able to settle himself back to sleep is a remarkable step forward. Thank you for highlighting that even when we hit a bump in the road with illness, we were able to pause and successfully resume the sleep coaching once your son was feeling better.I really appreciate you mentioning the detailed process of our work together, from the initial call to the personalized plan and ongoing support. It's wonderful to see how your little boy has adapted to his own cot and developed good & healthy sleep skills.Your family's success means so much to me, and I'm delighted to have been part of your journey to more restful nights!Take care and sleep well,Carmen2 years ago

We were struggling with the sleep of our 14 months baby who used to co-sleep in our bed. Carmen helped us get her to sleep in her own bed in two weeks (amazing I know). We reached out to her again after travel and helped us to get the sleep back on track. We are very grateful for Carmen’s help and dedication. She went above and beyond to help and support us through the process. Highly recommended 🙂

Dear Rachida,Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's great to hear about your sweet daughter's successful transition to her own bed - and in just two weeks! I'm particularly glad that you reached out again after traveling, as schedule disruptions are so common, and it's important for families to know they can get back on track.Your trust in coming back for support means a lot to me. It's been a pleasure helping your family achieve better sleep not once, but twice!Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. Wishing your family many more peaceful nights ahead!Take care and keep your confidence,Carmen2 years ago
Helping you get some restorative sleep
Why is sleep so important?
Even if there is no 100% consensus why we actually need to sleep, most specialists agree upon the negative impact of sleep deprivation on our health.
Many studies evaluating the effects of sleep deficiency on health indicate that sleep affects our emotional well-being, cognitive function, daytime performance and physical health.

What Is Sleep Coaching?
Who is Sleep Coaching For?
Whereas sleep is the magic land of dreams and the brain oasis when we have the chance to heal our body, sleep coaching consists of a range of techniques parents supported by coaches, teach their babies and toddlers in order to learn how to fall asleep autonomously and stay asleep for longer stretches.
These techniques are science based and vary from a gentle approach to a more controlled comforting method and even a stricter technique. Every child is unique and the best sleep coaching method depends on various factors amongst parenting style, baby’s age and temperament.
But above all, sleep coaching embodies a holistic approach where we look at everyday events and activies and we go even beyond the obvious and immediate cause of the sleep issue.
However, sleep coaching is not for everyone…
FAQ
Will the sleep training involve crying?
Yes, sleep training could involve some crying, but if we look at crying as a way of communication for our baby and we try to listen to it instead of shutting it down, it could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Moreover, babies need to cry to release emotions, tensions, frustrations and nervous energy. Without this release, they keep it inside which could harm their nervous system.
How will we communicate during our collaboration?
We can successfully have a virtual communication, via email and messages, as well as via phone conversations if chosen. Parents can very well be the teacher of their babies, carefully guided by the sleep consultant.
Can I use music as white noise?
Yes, you could have music as white noise for your baby, but it has to be very boring sounds like monoton nature sounds (wind, rain etc.). However, white noise machines are more practical and quite affordable any time.
When can I move my baby into his own room?
The American Academy of Pediatrics as well as WHO recommend sleeping in the same room with the child, but not in the same bed, until the age of 12 months, for safety reasons.
When will my baby sleep through the night?
It depends on each baby but mostly when a child is well established on solid food, meaning 3 meals per day wiith protein and carbs, they could be ready to sleep through the night. This usually occurs around 10 month of age.
Do I really have to wake my baby up?
Yes, a flexible routine is very beneficial to a child and it encourages good eating and sleeping, thus following baby’s circadian rhythms. That sometimes meanswe need to wake our baby up in order to feed him or not let him nap too long during the day and steal from his overnight sleep.
How can I get rid of the dummy?
This depends very much on the child’s age and how much it interferes with his sleep. Whereas for a newborn the dummy has a calming soothing effect and it is recommended in SIDS prevention, after 8 months old, there are special techniques to help the baby find and replace his dummy so that he becomes more independent.
How can I make the difference between a mantra cry and a cry for help?
There is not a clear line between a mantra cry and a desperate cry for help. However, we could say that an intermittent cry with pauses longer than 15 sec. means that the baby is not suffering but rather struggles to fall asleep by himself.
Will sleep training have any damage on my baby's brain?
No, sleep training is a short term method to support your baby fall asleep more autonomously and stay asleep for longer stretches. Many studies have proved that only long term cronic stress (like child abuse or maternal depression) is toxic for a child and could affect brain circuit and disrupt the normal development of a child.
Sleep is a gift we should embrace in order to have a healthy and harmonious development.
About Me
I was born and raised in a society where being a mother was the most noble and worth sacrificing mission on Earth. I love children and I have always liked to take care of them even before becoming a mom. I am a mother of two kids: a teenage boy and a toddler girl – my teachers and students at the same time – who help me grow and learn something valuable every day.
Nevertheless, it was only through motherhood when I realised that we don’t need to sacrifice ourselves and become just moms for the rest of our lives. We can enjoy even the early years of motherhood, have the right mood for taking care of our babies and share it with our partners, if we could only get a good night sleep.
That is why I embarked myself on the most rewarding ship of baby sleep coaching.
