Blissful Babies: June 2010

WELCOME

Blissful Babies is an Infant/Child Sleep Consulting and Parent Coaching company.

Using the 3 Day Sleep Solution, by Davis Ehrler, I help babies and children ages 6 months - 8 years old get the healthy sleep they need. The 3 Day Sleep Solution will teach you how to establish routines that will break old bad habits and immediately start new healthy sleeping habits that will stay with your child for life.

As a parent coach, I offer parents support in regard to parenting their children and raising a family. I can help with discipline issues, picky eaters, tantrums, toddler transitions - such as getting toddlers into "big kid" beds or new siblings, and a general lack of routine and consistency within a household. In short, I help to guide parents to a place where they enjoy parenting and provide them with the skills and foundation needed to raise happy and confident children.

This blog will feature tips and information on healthy sleep and parenting.

TESTIMONIALS

"I’M SO GLAD I FOUND ANDREA AND THE 3 DAY SLEEP SOLUTION! AFTER MONTHS OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, MASTERING THIS PROGRAM WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF ANDREA WAS THE BEST THING I EVER COULD HAVE DONE FOR MY FAMILY. SHE SHOWED ME A WHOLE NEW WAY OF DOING THINGS THAT WAS CLEAR AND EASY TO IMPLEMENT. THE FIRST NIGHT WAS A BIG IMPROVEMENT, AND BY THE SECOND NIGHT MY SON ETHAN WAS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT….12 HOURS STRAIGHT! EVERY NIGHT SINCE, HAS BEEN 13 HOURS! DAYTIME NAPS WERE A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING AND I WORKED WITH ANDREA ON IMPLEMENTING SMALL CHANGES TO GET THE RIGHT COMBINATION FOR MY SON TO SLEEP BETTER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. MY LIFE IS SO MUCH MORE PREDICTABLE NOW AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ETHAN IS GETTING MUCH NEEDED, GOOD SLEEP! EVERYONE IS HAPPIER IN OUR HOUSE. THANK YOU ANDREA!"

"My daughter was 4 months old when we were having trouble with her sleeping schedule. Andrea gave me great detailed instructions that were easy to apply and that same night my daughter slept 14 hours straight. Her help and advice has truly made me more confident as a parent!"

Alli
Dayton, OH

"For the first 4 months I had relied on several crutches to get my daughter to sleep. She was swaddled tightly, nursed, placed in a swing for an hour then, when she was sleeping soundly, transferred to her co-sleeper. She then slept about 8-9 hours. At about 13 weeks, she began growing out of this routine; she awoke several times a night and broke out of the swaddle. I knew it was time to transfer her to her crib, and establish a new bedtime routine. Andrea and the 3-day Sleep Solution were instrumental in assisting me during this process. The program teaches you to eliminate crutches (such as swings and swaddles) and establish a nap and bedtime schedule that makes sense. Andrea's advice was crucial. My baby is particularly sensitive - Andrea was available day and night to help me troubleshoot many of the issues we were encountering. After 3 days my daughter was sleeping through the night, and after a week she was genuinely comfortable and happy sleeping in her crib for naps and bedtime."

"Thank you so much to Blissful Babies and The 3 Day Sleep Solution for helping us with baby Isla. She went from using a swaddler, pacifier, and being nursed to sleep with several wake-ups a night to putting herself to sleep and learning to self-soothe in just a few days. Our house is running much smoother, and I actually feel like I have some free time now (which is crazy with a three-month old and three-year old!). Plus, Isla is much happier and her schedule is very predictable, which makes for a very happy mommy :) Thank you Andrea!"

Amber & Wes
San Diego, Ca

"After 8 months of my 3 year old sleeping with my husband and me, and 3 months of my 21 month old waking in the middle of the night, I turned to Andrea for her expertise. This was the best decision we could have made! Both kids now sleep through the night for 12 hours straight, and go to their own bed/crib with minimal fuss! They are eating better, the temper tantrums and whining have almost disappeared, and my husband and I have our evenings and our bed to ourselves! Many, many thanks, Andrea!!"

Lynn
Atlanta, GA

"I contacted Andrea when my son 2 1/2 year old son, had gotten into the habit of needing me to lie down with him to go to sleep. I had tried on numerous occasions to break the habit by myself and was unsuccessful. Having Andrea over at our home for the preparation and for the night I was to put him down on his own, was essential. He cried for only a few minutes and then went to sleep on his own! He has been sleeping soundly ever since and I feel like I have my evenings back to myself. He is also waking up less at night, but when he does he is able to put himself back to sleep. Thank you so much for your help and follow-up support!"
