We were referred to Rochel through our kids Pediatrician. We interviewed a handful of sleep trainers before making our decision. Truly glad we went with Rochel. She took her time to explain to us what we needed to do and we listened to her every word. It worked like magic just like she said! We proudly refer her to our friends and family. Thank you Rochel!!! read more

I contacted Rochel because my baby would wake up at night frequently and wouldn't nap independently. I was given a very specific, 2hr schedule for a 4mo baby that was clearly unrealistic. We were texting back-and-forth which I appreciate - she was trying to be supportive. However, my baby was absolutely miserable and nothing in that schedule was personalized based on what we talked about. When I voiced my concerns, I was encouraged to stick to the plan and nothing was adjusted. I was told that my baby is in a "learning mode". My baby was supposed to fit the schedule instead of the schedule fitting her. I didn't want to continue the training so I just stopped texting any updates and contacted someone else and started a different method which worked for us amazingly. I never even wanted to put my baby on a schedule and after the training I never did. I was told by Rochel that it is necessary, but now she sleeps independently on her own all night and all her naps. Also, Rochel encouraged giving my daughter a lovey which our pediatrician told me not to do because it's a suffocation risk. I expressed how anxious I am about it because it did end up on my daughter's face one time and she told me it is 100% safe and breathable. Now I see a post on her IG about safe sleep rules and one of them is not having anything in the crib... If you're a sleep deprived your mom that is desperate for help, please know that there is no universal method. If it doesn't feel right, just listen to your intuition and try something else. read more

Rochel is not only fantastic coach for getting babies to sleep through the night but, she is also very patient and thorough with her teachings and really advocates for the baby. For example: family was coming to town and we have a spare bed in the babies room. She was very sure that my some should not have anyone else sleep in the room and helped us figure out a solution that worked for our guests. Basically saying that our son deserves his space and peace just as much as any adult does. Just cause he's a baby doesn't mean he gets moved around a buck. And I really appreciate how much she cares! She spent aoooo much time w it us. She is like an older sister and genuinely cares about her clients. Worth every penny!! Thank you Rochel read more

We were at a complete breaking point when we reached out to Rochel. Our little guy used to be a great sleeper until he broke his leg about a month and a half ago. While he was in a cast, we brought him into our bed to keep him comfortable--but once the cast came off, he refused to go back to his crib. We tried the Taking Cara Babies method, but it just didn't work for us. Our son has a very high level of persistence--he would scream in his crib for hours, only to wake up again shortly after and cry more until morning. It was heartbreaking and exhausting. We spoke to a couple of sleep consultants, but Rochel stood out immediately. She didn't push the cry-it-out method on us--instead, she really listened and came up with a plan that worked for our family. She went over our son's room setup, his daily schedule, and gave us a clear, step-by-step plan to get him back in his crib. Best of all, she was available during those hard nights when we needed real-time support. We felt like we weren't doing it alone. Thanks to Rochel, our son is now sleeping in his crib through the night. We honestly couldn't be more grateful. If you're struggling with toddler sleep and don't know where to turn, Rochel is your person. She's knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in helping families sleep again. read more

Rochel helped us tremendously to get our 1 year old's sleep under control and to help me wean from breastfeeding. It felt impossible before we started working with her. We are beyond grateful for her responsiveness and expertise. She has a way of making you feel calm and taken care of which is so needed when making big changes quickly with your baby! Thank you so much read more

Rochel is some sort of wizard and every dollar you spend will be well worth it. The schedule she gives is spot on (my baby took to it exactly with minimal crying by day 2) and her advice on sleep environment is also incredible. She's so thorough, there was so much more contact/interaction than I expected, including in real time when I had urgent questions. She also made sure we were a good fit before starting which I appreciated. Highly recommend using her service! read more

Rochel is full of knowledge, patient, consistent and has helped me tremendously with my 5am waker. I highly recommend her services, and she was recommended to me by four separate people before I called her. She truly, truly cares and we will be with you every step of way!! read more

Rochel is incredible! We tried sleep training with someone else before working with Rochel, but it didn't work out. A friend highly recommended her, so we decided to give it another shot--and we're so glad we did! Rochel is not only kind, understanding, and compassionate, but she also takes the time to explain the why and how behind everything. Her guidance truly sets your baby up for long-term sleep success. She's also responsive and makes herself available to answer questions when those inevitable sleep hiccups pop up. I love that she's a mom herself and genuinely gets it. I absolutely recommend her! read more

Rochel is a wonderful, talented, and insightful sleep coach. My 11 month old son was sleeping "better than before" which was a relative measure that meant that he was still sleeping unpredictably and sometimes very poorly. I felt like I had to succumb to whatever the day and night would bring. I felt really tired all the time. In come Rochel. She listened carefully. She noted some changes needed in the nursery. Then constructed a schedule that was easy to follow, comprehensive, no nonsense. The first night was tough but not so tough because I was texting Rochel the whole time. By night 2 lour baby had halved the time it initially took him to settle. Now that it's been a week I can say with certainty that we have turned another leaf. This experience has been great for me, my child, my husband - the whole family. Everyone's spirit is lifted and the night is now restorative instead of something to dread. Rochel is the real deal. Run don't walk! read more

Rochel you are truly the best! We couldn't do it without your help and guidance. When I met Rochel I was skeptic because I didn't believe it can work. We did exactly what she told us, and then like magic our son is sleeping 12 hours at night. Now he is 10 months already and we decided to put him in a day care. Because of all the sleep train and food train he is doing really good over there and that was a smooth sailing as well from the beginning. Rochel I appreciate you and thank you for your time and patience. We are back to sleep again, and got most of our life back on track because of that. read more

I contacted Rochel about sleep training my almost two-year-old. I wasn't sure if I had missed the bus on sleep training due to baby's age, as well as, I had also created quite a few bad habits with my baby's sleep routine or lack there of. I was so sure training was going to be a massive struggle with my strong-willed, sassy, independent little love fighting every step of the way. However, the opposite happened. Rochel made a plan that was specifically designed for us and our situation. She took all my concerns into consideration (ie: not wanting a cry-it-out method, is sleep environment safe) and made a plan that was easy to follow and apply. We followed her routine and instructions precisely and to our happy surprise our baby was sleeping in the crib successfully within a few days with minimal crying and hardship. Now baby goes to sleep fast and doesn't fuss too much about any part of the routine. I would definitely recommend Rochel to other parents seeking advice and I already have. I might add that she also gave advice for how to tackle sleeping away from baby's normal environment --vacations, hotel rooms, grandparents' homes -- and those applied tactics went just as smoothly when we used them during a weekend away. read more

I can't thank Rochel enough !!!! Our 3rd day of sleep training my son was sleeping through the night (12 hours) !!!!! First night there was some fussing but by day 2 there was very little and day 3 was hardly any fussing (30 seconds) and he slept through the night. We had regressed so much with my 15 month old son that I was back to him waking every 3 hours and feeding in the night when I finally made the move to call Rochel after seeing her recommendations show up in mom groups. I was very apprehensive because when my son was 7 months old we hired a different sleep coach in Beverly Hills and had no success at all and no support for follow up after 3 days despite buying a 2 week package. I was left frustrated and upset that I couldn't make it work. Rochel came with such confidence and was so helpful that we followed all her advice and we had better results than I had even hoped for. My mother, husband, and I were so surprised that she had him sleeping 12 hours uninterrupted by day 3. I couldn't be happier. You won't regret calling Rochel!!! I had a great experience and even greater results. read more

Just had to follow up (years later...) to write this comment. Rochel is hands down the BEST. I still thinking about her and how she saved me during a very stressful, sleep deprived time. I went with another sleep consultant at first. Did nothing for me. I wish I would have gone to Make My Baby Smile. Absolutely amazing!!!! read more

Rochel helped me sleep train my 5.5 month old when I was desperate and she fixed all of my issues! I tried (and failed) to sleep train my baby myself for 11 nights before being at a complete loss. Rochel confidently led me to sleep training my son 12 hours a night and 3 predictable naps a day. She gave me my sanity back! read more

Rochel is a miracle woman! my 6 month old was LITERALLY not sleeping! no naps during the day and multiple wakings at night. After one week of implementing Rochel's training he is taking two healthy naps during the day and sleeping the night! He's eating better and all round so much happier! We both are! I cannot recommend Rochel enough! read more

Make My Baby Smile - Sleep Specialists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I worked with Rochel to help us with our 4.5 month old baby girl. Baby girl was taking 30-40 minute naps and was very difficult to get down for the night. She was swaddled and was still eating in the night. Within one week of working with Rochel our baby was napping 1-2 hours, and sleeping through the night! Rochel was incredibly patient with us as we transitioned our baby to sleeping with a lot of assistance, to becoming a great independent sleeper. Rochel's sleep routine was clear and very easy to follow. We maintain the schedule to this day and our daughter continues to sleep well! I highly recommend working with Rochel if you're looking for insight and support for helping your baby become the great sleeper they have the potential to be. read more

We just used Rochelle for a second time and the results speak for themselves. Our youngest is 5 months and our oldest is only 15 months. Sleep was a distant memory until we met Rochelle and are so grateful for her help! I can't recommend her enough! read more

Rochelle is the best money spent! She changed our lives and I'm forever grateful to her. We took our baby to multiple doctors because my baby slept one hour a night and they could never pinpoint the issue. It wasn't until we used Rochelle's services where my baby started to actually sleep through the night. She's so professional, responsive, and goes above and beyond to help. Words cannot express how thankful I am for her. I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

Rochel is a sleep wizard!! I am beyond grateful that she was able to sleep train my 11 month old- who prior to working with Rochel was an AWFUL sleeper who NEVER slept through the night and he was up every 40 minutes , etc. When I contacted Rochel, she was extremely confident , warm, knowledgeable, and supportive. I didn't think she would be able to help my son and night 2 he was sleeping through the night!!!! It's night 6 and he's still sleeping through the night . Rochel , my husband and I, and our entire family are blown away by how you worked your "magic!!" Thank you so much for all your help, your texts, your calls, your very clear plan, and for also being so supportive and not judgmental- I wouldn't be able to have done this without you!! read more

Rochel changed our life!! Our 4 month old baby was waking up every 3 hours at night to breastfeed, and would take short naps during the day. My husband and I could not take care of our jobs adequately or my other son, and our nanny was having a very hard time. Just when the sleep deprivation was at it's peak, Rochel swooped in and saved the day. Rochel was calm, knowledgeable, and told us exactly what we needed to do. She gave us a schedule, changed the nursery set up, and even had a week of text support for all our questions. My daughter barely cried the first night and is now sleeping beautifully at night and during the day. We are so thankful to Rochel. Book her- you will not regret it!! read more

Absolutely incredible! My wife and I were waking up twice a night for feedings for our 7 month old baby girl. By night two with Rochel our baby slept through the entire night (12hrs). Only regret we have is that we should of contacted her sooner :) read more

I highly recommend Rochel. My 16 month old would wake up every night for 2-3 hours crying to come into our bed. After our consultation with Rochel, we followed her schedule and by the 2nd night, he slept through the night. read more

I have 7 month old twins and desperately needed to get more sleep. I thought that there just was no way sleep training would work for my girls. We had been rocking them to sleep every day and night from the moment they were born l, using pacifiers, etc. with Rochel's guidance and support, these babes now sleep +12 hours a night independently and go down for naps easily and for longer periods of time. Babies are happy and so is mommy. Best money I have ever spent. read more

Rochel is amazing.... Her personalized sleep training plan for my daughter was very detailed and she was thorough with explaining everything. She was responsive to any questions or concerns, and now my baby girl sleeps right through the night with 12 hrs! I can't thank her enough!! read more

Wonderful! Rochel knows her stuff. She will put together an eating and sleeping plan for your baby, as well as equip you with feeding and sleep schedule recommendations as your baby grows. She's SO responsive throughout the process. I texted her constantly and she was fantastic with me. She also helps with the sleep environment, products to use, etc, to really ensure your baby is well taken care of in every aspect of sleep. Definitely recommend her! read more

We went from 3-4 feedings a night to sleeping 11-12 hours every night in just two days... when Rochel explained us patiently that it is going to happen, sleep deprived me couldn't believe her, all I thought was she doesn't know my baby (4 months at that time) and it's probably not going to work but what the heck we can try... it's not like we have anything to lose :) Everything worked exactly as she said it would and the following week she took the time to answer all of my questions as they came up. We use the schedule she prepared for us even now (1 yo) and we also had another very helpful conversation when we got back from 3 weeks in Israel and my baby was just miserable. I highly recommend her service if you'd like for you and your baby to get enough sleep read more

Rochel is the sleep whisperer! She helped me countless times! I was living overseas at the time, and Rochel was incredible, it's as if she was right there beside me. She walked me through each step , patiently. My baby was sleeping through the night already by night 2. She sent me regimens in case I forgot what we spoke about as well as ALWAYS being available for me at any time! She helped me feel confident in the schedule of my day and more importantly helped my baby become a healthy and happy sleeper at night and during the day:)) Give you , your family and your baby the gift of SLEEP AND CALL ROCHEL! read more

When I contacted Rochel I was desperate! We already sleep trained our son once with a gentle approach and it didn't stick. Now he was 9 months old and waking up for hours at the middle of the night. I needed help ASAP. It was so much easier then I imagined, and being on a schedule just makes my life easier. Rochel is a pro! She was available for us, answered all of our questions and gave us tools for the future. My husband and I got our nights back, it completely transformed our lives. read more

I have a six month old son and my friend referred me to Rochel. My son has always generally been a good sleeper but had some not so great habits: he would only fall asleep from nursing, and could not get back to sleep once awake. So -- if I put him down asleep to zip him into his sleep sack and he woke up, I'd have to wait until the next nursing session to put him to bed again! Rochel was so responsive and quickly scheduled a consultation. She customized my plan specifically for my needs with work and getting home at 6P and was by my side via text every step of the way. I will definitely recommend her to every mom and future mom I know, and am eternally grateful for the lifestyle change she brought to our lives!! read more

Rochel helped me get my 5.5 month old on a schedule, which created a routine for us that made everything so much easier! We got my son sleep trained so quickly, which was a life changer. I was having to rock him to sleep for naps and bedtime and most of the time when I put him down, he would wake up. So I would find myself having to hold him while he napped almost every day! Fast forward a year and he is such a great sleeper! We read to him and put him down for naps and bedtime wide awake and he just falls right to sleep on his own. Make My Baby Smile isn't just a short term fix. It has proven to be effective, as our 16 month old adapts so easily now to different sleep environments and sleeps through the night every night! read more

Rochel knows exactly what to do to get your baby/toddler to sleep. Our son is 2 and I had been using the same sleep system, Sleep Easy Solution, since my son was 8 months old. When he turned 2, everything changed. Non of the techniques were working anymore. I spent one call with Rochel, she helped us ditch the bottles, put us on a new schedule and the first night my son was sleeping perfectly! The changes were easy and exactly what he needed. He now naps 12:30-2:30 and sleeps 7:30pm-7am. Everyone is happy. Rochel is also super supportive and sweet and I'm so glad I found her! read more

My husband and I were in serious trouble after the 4 month sleep regression hit- our baby had to be bounced for a good 20 mins to get to sleep. He would sleep well on us but if we put his down he would wake after 30 mins every time. He would be up at 4am every morning and only get him back down by letting him sleep on us! All of this meant very tired and anxious parents. Rochels schedule truly was incredible. Simple enough to follow and so effective. I was putting off sleep training as i dreaded beyond words hearing my baby cry and not being able to comfort him. And the first night wasn't easy, but it was sooo much easier than anticipated! He only cried for 7 mins! Woke up a few times as expected (first night in a crib in his own room!) but by the second night he was sleeping 12 hours (and still is!). She also helped make sure his sleep environment was optimal and gave us other tips and pointers that have helping us along our journey. We appreciate your help, thank you! A must for sleep deprived parents ;) read more

I spent 30 minutes reading Rochel's reviews the week before we finally decided to sleep train our 7 month old. They gave me such hope, because I had been spending so many hours daily with our precious daughter rocking, cuddling, soothing, and tending to wake-ups. My anxiety was through the roof, and I just really wanted to get this sleep thing in order & get my life back. I read all the books, and just couldn't seem to figure out what to do with our baby's daily routine and nighttime sleep that would meet all of our needs. While I have no regrets in life, I really do wish I called Rochel sooner. She was equal parts to-the-point compassionate. She spent time understanding our situation, answering questions & addressing our hesitation with crying (with no judgement), and then we got to it. Within just a day EVERYTHING in our lives changed for the better. Her custom schedule for our daughter, the clear guidance through sleep training with availability for questions/answers throughout, it was just all perfect. Even the tears (though present) weren't the end of the world. Our daughter actually started teething the same week, and still everything worked really wonderfully, with our daughter sleeping through the night on the second night, and only having one wake-up on the first! WOW. The biggest relief and life-changer. I'd like to think we may even be friends by the end of all of this. Rochel isn't just a master sleep/baby trainer, but she also saved our sanity. Bonus - she provides some guidance for down-the-line sleep/daily routine as well. I could go on and on. Highly recommended! read more

Rochel is a gem! We tried sleep training our baby with another consultant and it didn't work, so I was really skeptical about sleep training in general. I saw how everyone was raving about Rochel on LA Mommies and decided to give it another try. I can't emphasize how warm and kind Rochel is. Talking to her is like talking to your wise and helpful best friend. Any question I had she was there and her support was what made it easier. Thank you Rochel! read more

If you're where I was - kinda desperate - and reading this, you should definitely give Rochel a call. Make this a gift to yourself - birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Arbor Day, whatever, just make up a holiday - because it may just save your sanity. My 6 month old daughter was never a great sleeper, but we had sleep trained so that she was only waking once in the night. That was generally okay, especially because she used to be up every few hours, but when I woke in the morning, I still kind of felt like a truck had hit me. She also would either nap in a swing (not sustainable) or while nursing, which was getting more and more difficult for me, as I work from home. I tried putting her in her crib for naps, and she screamed and cried. By the end of the day, we were both pretty exhausted. One call with Rochel (plus a few text messages - you can ask questions throughout the week), and my baby was napping in her crib... AND sleeping through the night! I still can't believe that I can put her down for a nap wide awake, kicking around - and within a few minutes, she's conked out. It honestly feels like a miracle. PLUS I get to sleep at night! I know the extra sleep and the more structured schedule has made her a happier baby, and I'm a happier mom with an easier time fitting in work around her naps. I was nervous to contact Rochel, just because we had fallen into a routine and I was worried about making big changes. I felt so much better after talking with her. She has all sorts of tips and tricks, and she's also very kind and warm. This was a truly personalized experience, and I'm just so glad I found Rochel! read more

We were so worried about how we were going to pull off sleep training during COVID with no ability to get in-person help. A few people I know had used Rochel and raved about her so even though we live across the country we decided to work with her to provide sleep training for our baby. We first reached out when Baby was 4 months old but realized we didn't yet have her on the right feeding/napping schedule to be able to start the training. Rochel shared a schedule with us that we then worked to get our baby to. About a month later Baby was starting to sleep through a night here and there so we decided she was ready. Rochel got on a call with me and my husband to prep us and answer any questions we had and we literally started that night. We had to check in on the baby a few times that night and for naps a few times the next few days but it's AMAZING how Rochel's guidance and support, in terms of not just the training itself but the items we needed to get our baby set up and in a place to soothe herself and sleep through the night, did the trick. It's now been 3 weeks and she is doing great. Her daytime naps have gone from 30 min (she never slept longer than that in her crib) to 1hr+ consistently and overnights she is a champ sleeping 7pm - 6:30/7 every night. We are getting lots of sleep and so is Baby and we couldn't be happier. read more

I came to Rochel when I was at my wits end with my 14 month old's sleep schedule. For the past 2 months he was waking up in the middle of the night and was up for 2-3 hours straight. He was never a great sleeper but the prolonged sleepless nights was becoming unsustainable for our family. We had tried everything, even sleep training on our end but clearly we were missing something. Rochel did a thorough sleep evaluation paying attention to every detail including his sleep environment. She came up with a step by step plan and to be honest I wasn't sure if it would work given how difficult my baby was. 4 nights later and my baby is now sleeping 11-12 hours through the night without any problem and is a much happier baby!!! I can't believe I'm actually writing this as I never thought this day would come. I can not recommend Rochel enough! She is extremely supportive and knowledgeable and more importantly has given me my sanity back! Thank you Rochel!! read more

Rochel is a miracle worker! We thought we could get our baby to sleep using Baby Whisperer and other schedules out there but nothing worked. We heard about Rochel and hired her right away. Now our baby sleeps through the night and we can finally get some sleep. Our only regret is not hiring her sooner! read more

I've worked with mommy consultant Jayde with both of my kids. I call her the "baby whisperer." My daughter has been a dynamite sleeper since sleep training her at 4.5 months old. She was waking multiple times/night & in just 3 nights, she was sleeping 11+ hours straight! She has had a routine since then & we still stick to a nap & bedtime routine today at 2.5 years old. I am just now sleep training my son. He slept through the night, 11hrs+ on night #2!!! I am beyond elated! He went from being a great little sleeper to waking 2-3 times/night at around the 3 month mark due to the 3 month growth spurt, a leap & the 4 month sleep regression! I started my son right away with Jayde instilling healthy habits, which made sleep training that much smoother. If he turns out to be as good of a sleeper as my daughter, I'll be one happy mommy! I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Make My Baby Smile. Jayde is patient, nurturing, understanding & so very kind. She has clearly trained many babies, so she has really perfected her approach & is willing to work with every child individually. I've been telling every parent I know about MMBS, because it is seriously life changing! I can't recommend them enough! read more

If you are looking for sleep/schedule/routine advice, look no further. Rochel customized a plan for us when we hit a rough patch with our son's sleep. He was 18 months old and waking in the middle of the night for hours on end. We also fell into a habit of rocking him to sleep which we have successfully stopped doing. She tweaked a few things in our routine and gave us a plan of action. Within 48 hours of following her plan, we saw a huge improvement. Last night he put himself to sleep in a few minutes and slept 11.5 hours straight. God bless this baby whisperer! Highly highly recommend. read more
