Download R Kelly I Can 39;t Sleep Baby
Catharina Dell
Every baby is different, and some sleep through the night earlier than others (schedules or food usually have nothing to do with this). Your baby may be hungry (keep in mind that breastmilk digests in less than 2 hours) or she may just want time with you. Babies whose mothers work during the week often nurse more at night and on weekends, perhaps to reconnect with mom.
Whether you are navigating a leap, sleep regression or anything in between, our role as a certified baby sleep consultant is simply to help. We understand the challenges you're facing, and together we can customise a sleep plan and set the foundations for your child to become a champion sleeper.
The Kelly Martin Sleep Consultant mission is to support you as an individual family with gentle sleep techniques to help your little one form positive sleeping patterns to allow you and your family more rest. We have a range of phone and in-home consultations to help everyone in the family get a good night's sleep.
The role we play is to support you as an individual family with evidence-based and gentle settling techniques to form positive sleeping patterns that allow you and your family quality sleep in the early years.
Receiving support from Steph from Kelly Martin Sleep Consultant has made our lives so much easier! Steph adapted to our lifestyle and would always tell us to only do what we were feeling comfortable with. We now all feel rested and we have a baby that is happier than ever!
We recently completed the comprehensive support package with Amber, where she helped us address our 5 months olds frequent over night waking. She was fantastic at supporting us with teaching baby to self settle and the improvement in all of our sleep is enormous.
I'm Kelly Neuhs and I am thrilled to be a part of the Full Feedings family. My daughter Josephine (Phine?) was born on September 24, 2020. My husband TC and I moved from Manhattan to Long Island ten days before she was born. It was wild! The first two weeks of motherhood were honestly hell. At week three, I started The Full Feedings Method and within three days I had a completely different baby.
I was so terrified while I was pregnant about how I would be able to manage working without sleep. I am a registered nurse and work in an incredibly fast paced operating room. Mistakes in my field have serious consequences and can really impact other people's lives. The anxiety was real. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Ann on Instagram while I was pregnant. She was talking about her method and how she has been able to get thousands of babies to sleep 12 hours a night without ever letting them cry. Whenever someone told me I should sleep now because I will never sleep again, I would comfort myself by thinking about how Ann said that wasn't true. So at week three when I felt like my kid had done nothing but scream at me I started following Ann's plan. Best decision I have ever made!
Phine started to sleep 12 hours at the end of week six! I went back to sleeping my usual 10 hours a night?. (I know that's crazy) This was so easy for myself and my family. I tell everyone to do it. I have the happiest and easiest going baby. I contribute a lot of that to the fact that she is never over tired or hungry. Don't make motherhood harder than it already is. We want to help you sleep! Let us!
Over time, I began to feel more connected to my daughter and I was able to start taking some time for myself to exercise, since her sleep schedule was generally predictable each day. This allowed me to find parts of my pre-mom self and I began to feel like my own person again.
The Full Feedings Method has been such a game changer for my family. Is it hard work to commit to sleep? Yes. Did we stay home a lot the first few weeks after she was born? Yes. But now my daughter gets the sleep she needs everyday and wakes up with the biggest smile on her face when I go into her room every morning.
The cold realisation that your child does not come with an instruction manual really did leave me searching for answers especially when it came to sleep routines and habits. The problem I found when looking for a solution was that in this era of technology and information, there are a lot of opinions and a lot of those opinions contradict one another. It is almost a case of having too much information with literature and countless internet forums, not to mention the loving advice from friends and family.
I was very impressed with the results we received after a week of email contact with Kelly. When I first started having contact with Kelly our 10 month old baby was up 2-3 hours every night screaming hysterically, stressful for us and him! After a week of contact, he has now slept through 7pm-7am for the last three nights in a row! The best thing is our baby wakes up so happy and well rested and we do too!
I cannot say enough about our sleep consultant, Kelly and the services offered by Baby Sleep Consultant. The support, expertise and guidance I was offered was absolutely second to none, and I deeply deeply appreciate the professionalism that I was shown. Kelly could not have been more helpful, supportive or understanding. She is incredibly solutions-driven and any time I came up against an issue, she had an array of advice and suggestions for me. Her encouragement buoyed me up immensely, and allowed me to achieve success with teaching bubba to self settle and sleep by himself.
Prior to contacting Baby Sleep Consultant, he was constantly rocked to sleep and only truly rested if he was being carried or held. Otherwise, we were looking at a series of 45 minute naps throughout the day. I still pinch myself to see how far we have come in a couple of weeks, and with all the skills and advice from Kelly, I know we will only go from strength to strength from here.
Once your child is in a routine after the consultation, many parents find that their baby begins to sleep well at night. Some babies need a little more assistance to learn how to self soothe and Kelly can teach parents the best method to help their baby or, if required, Kelly can also come to your home and provide bedtime assistance with a baby / toddler.
Kelly can also do problem solving. For example, breastfed babies who refuse to take the bottle (of breast milk or formula) and Mommy is returning to work or would like another family member to feed baby. She can also help with babies who only feed small amounts and fussy babies during the weaning process. Kelly has also assisted with potty training and behaviour issues.
If there are enough interested parties booked up in advance Kelly can visit and run consultations, overnight sleep training and a workshop for parents when there. Obviously they have to be in close proximity to make it work.

It's important that we clear these myths up, because getting adequate sleep is just as important for the health and development of a baby as the benefits that are received from breastfeeding and providing your little one with your liquid gold.
Sleep isn't just about restoration of energy. There's a lot happening behind the scenes when we sleep. For example, when it comes to immune support, our bodies are releasing antibodies, T-cells, and cytokines that help to fight infection, viruses, and inflammation. Research shows that adults that sleep less than 7 hours per night are 3x more likely to catch a cold. We also know that vaccines are 11x more effective when adults are getting adequate sleep.
Sleep is also important for cognitive development. While babies (and adults!) are in REM sleep, their brains are taking in all the information from the day, organizing it, storing it, and forming memories. Also, a process called neuroplasticity, where new neural pathways are formed that facilitates future learning, happens during REM sleep.
When it comes to growth, sleep matters. 75% of growth hormone is produced while babies are in non-REM sleep, which is a deep state of sleep. We know that children who have sleep apnea typically have stunted growth because they miss out on some deep sleep.
Getting adequate sleep isn't just important for the health of babies, but also for parents for all the same reasons mentioned above. In addition, sleep is extremely important during the postpartum period because sleep deprivation increases the risk of developing postpartum depression and anxiety.
And that's basically what sleep training is: the process of teaching your baby to fall asleep without a sleep prop (feeding, rocking, holding, etc.) so that they can then connect sleep cycles on their own in the middle of the night. It works because their environment stays consistent, so there's no cause for them to become alarmed, and they're able to naturally connect to the next sleep cycle and get consolidated, restorative sleep.
What you want to try to avoid if you are going to sleep train your baby is feeding your child back to sleep overnight, because then that's going to maintain that feeding-to-sleep association that you're trying to break and that's going to create confusion.
Your milk production is based on supply and demand. The more your baby demands milk out of your breasts, the more breast milk you will produce. That is why a baby will cluster feed (feed frequently over the course of an hour or so) when they are going through a growth spurt.
