"Cristina’s sleep coaching changed my life. I worked with her for two weeks, but I began seeing results within just two days. After I filled out a questionnaire about my family’s specific habits, routines, and biggest pain points, she developed a thorough plan that was completely custom to my family and our needs. I was nervous about making the changes, and I wasn’t sure they would work, but I took a leap of faith and followed them to the letter. Things started changing literally overnight. Within a couple of nights, our baby dropped the first of his two regular night wakings and our toddler had her first full night of sleep in MONTHS, followed by her second and third!

Over the course of my two weeks working with Cristina, she offered sane, sensible, and simple-to-follow advice to get my family sleeping through the night. Not every night was a good one, as my growing family navigated illness, teething, broken routine, and all of the other realities of life with young children. Throughout it all, Cristina always had thoughtful, effective advice to help us get over every hurdle. By the end of the coaching process, my husband and I had a set of tools we could use in order to establish a consistent and restful routine and environment for our family, one we can continue to use long after our time working with Cristina, so we can feel confident to face any new life or developmental changes that come our way.

I was afraid to work with a sleep coach. I hate hearing my kids cry and I was worried that sleep coaching would be a cold, unfeeling process. Cristina showed me that sleep training my kids was just another way to show them that I love them. I’ve given them—and myself—the gift of repeated nights of restful, uninterrupted sleep, and we are all better for it!"

  • “We recently worked with Cristina to help with sleep training for our three year old twins and 8 month old baby and couldn’t be happier with the results. Cristina was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand each of our children’s sleep patterns and provided us with practical advice and strategies to get everyone onto a great sleep schedule—including all three sleeping through the night.

    Cristina was always available to answer my questions and provide support when I needed it. She was patient and understanding, and she made me feel confident in my ability to help my children sleep better.

    Overall, I would highly recommend Mama’s Little Loves and Cristina to anyone who is struggling with sleep training for their child. She is an expert in her field and truly cares about the well-being of the people she works with. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you for all your help!”

    -Emily (mom of 3yo twins & 8mo)

  • “Cristina has been a huge help to improve my son’s sleep. We had a complicated case due to some health issues that my son has. Cristina was willing to adjust the plan and troubleshoot how to change the plan based on how the sleep training was going. Our son went from sleeping in our room at night and waking up frequently to sleeping in his own room and sleeping through the night most nights. He also used to only nap if being held and now he naps for 2 hours at a time in his crib. Thanks to Cristina’s guidance our whole family is sleeping better and able to get a lot more done during the day!”

  • "Working with Cristina was a true blessing for our family. My son had an extremely difficult four month sleep regression, having 10-12 wakings each night. I had read many baby sleep blogs and tried different online programs that did not work for us. Cristina created a personalized program for my son and let me choose our sleep training approach. Her one on one text support was unique and so supportive! She helped us navigate through the sleep training process and cheered our successes. My son started putting himself to sleep independently and sleeping through the night! He went from being a contact cat-napper to having long independent naps in his crib. My son and I are both so much happier being well rested. If you want to look forward to bedtime, I highly recommend Mama’s Little Loves!"

  • "I am so happy we decided to work with Mama's Little Loves for sleep training. Cristina was an addition to our life that I didn't realize I needed so badly! She analyzed exactly what we were doing to get our 10 month old daughter on a better sleep pattern and expanded from there. She was the missing piece that turned our entire family's sleep habits around. We went from having two night wake-ups to sleeping 10+ hours a night in just a couple days. Cristina checked in on us daily and was able to answer so many of my questions, not just sleep related, thanks to her background in NICU nursing. She gave us a detailed plan that allowed us to help my daughter learn to self soothe and get to sleep on her own. I am so thankful for Cristina's expertise and how quickly she was able to change things for us. Everyone in our house is happier because of Mama's Little Loves!"

    -Zoe (mom of 10mo)

  • “Working with Cristina has transformed our sleep! When we started working with her, our 6-month old was going to bed around 9:30 PM, waking up at least twice a night, and routinely getting up for the day at 5 AM. My husband and I kept saying things to each other like “maybe this is normal for 6 months? Maybe once he starts eating solids he will sleep longer? This really isn’t THAT bad..”

    Fast forward to two weeks later, our baby is fast asleep by 7:30 PM, we do one dream feed, and we all sleep through the night until 7:15 AM. We have an established bedtime routine and have a solid understanding of wake windows, common sleep crutches to avoid, and our son’s sleep cues.

    Working with Cristina empowered us to take control of our own lives and make sure our baby gets the sleep he needs. She created a plan specific to us and our needs and worked with us throughout the program to make sure we understood not only what to do but WHY.

    If you routinely wonder if your nights could be better, I highly recommend reaching out to Cristina”

  • "Cristina was an amazing resource for my tricky napper! Her vast experience and ability to cater to my own comfortability in regards to sleep training was very much appreciated. Taking the time to understand the context of our daughter’s temperament, sleep associations, and age appropriate sleep needs, Cristina assisted us in curating a plan that not only eased our toddler into better sleep, but ours as well. She is so approachable and kind with her suggestions in a way that helps shift the perspective from constant lack of sleep for all to a totally feasible sleep solution. If something ever came up in the process, she was so ready and willing to put her insights together with our own knowledge of our kiddo to tweak the plan and move forward. I would highly, highly recommend her as a sleep consultant!"

POSTPARTUM TESTIMONIALS

“Cristina has made the first several weeks with our newborn so much easier! They mean it when they say the fourth trimester is all about survival. As a first time mom, I found that I was barely surviving and really needed more support. I’m so happy I found Cristina. She is so lovely as a person, and incredibly skilled when it comes to newborn and postpartum care. Having Cristina apart of our lives means that when she’s here, my brain and body can fully turn off, at least for a few hours. This time to recharge while a trusted and trained night nurse takes care of my daughter is invaluable. I would recommend it to every family with a newborn, really. We are so grateful for her!!”

- Hayley

“Having Cristina provide postpartum support has been a benefit beyond words. I couldn’t imagine doing this without assistance. She has made the first two months of parenting so much easier. She is able to provide care for my newborn and expert guidance. Nights she is here, I’m able to get much needed rest knowing an RN is watching my baby. I’m able to relax and sleep without needing to worry and check every five minutes. She’s able to answer so many questions and provide reassurance and tips on everything from feeding, naps, swaddling, to longer night stretches. She’s become a trusted resource and one I’m so thankful for. The value I’ve found in having a night nurse has led me recommend her to everyone I know having a baby.”

- Emily

"Cristina was an enormous help with postpartum overnight care for our baby. After having a first child who had difficulty sleeping, we knew we needed support the second time around. It is very hard to trust someone with your newborn baby, but Cristina worked with us to feel comfortable. Cristina was flexible when our baby came early and when we needed to adjust our schedule after a medical procedure. Our baby had challenging feeding issues and Cristina was very willing and able to work with her special needs. I would highly recommend her services to any sleep deprived parents." 

- Lauren

“Cristina from Mama’s Little Loves was incredibly professional, compassionate and helpful during our first few weeks home with our preemie newborn. She gave us good tips and provided well needed rest to us, as we knew our son was in good hands. I recommend her services to anyone bringing home a newborn - preemie or full-term as she is quick to provide a full report and offer the guidance you ask for (or just provide support).”
