Right from the first interaction with Natalie, to Lauren who spent 5 nights with our twins- the xperience was incredibly positive. Lauren was able to help us with a very strong feed to sleep association with both babies being able to self soothe for Day 3. Lauren and Natalie also helped us through a sleep regression , an international trip with a 10 hr time zone change, sickness, jetlag and then empower us to help the little guy once he was back. read more

We reached out to MommyWise when we were quite desperate. Our son was around 6 months and still waking up every 90 minutes throughout the night. He wouldn't co-sleep, and nothing we tried seemed to work. Given his history or health issues, we were terrified of attempting to sleep train on our own. Credit where credit's due: the method worked, but they should be much more clear about what clients are actually buying. Their approach is essentially applying the extinction method, and the in-home "consultant" functions mostly as an accountability mechanism. Someone to stop parents from caving and going in when your child cries. We paid $7,950 for 3 nights of that. I can understand that part of the value is peace of mind that an expert is running things safely. But that reassurance kinda falls flat when they still require you to sign a liability waiver giving up any rights you have if something happens to your child. For the price point, I guess I expected something more hands-on and also greater empathy for the parent. Instead the guidance largely amounted to "don't go in, just hold on a bit longer." And the "unlimited Q&A" they advertise afterwards is essentially the same thing, but over text. We reached out after as we hit later regressions, but didn't really find the guidance useful. At the end of the day, we made this decision and signed the agreement and should fully own that. But it's hard not to feel like MommyWise is capitalizing on parents at the lowest point. When they're sleep-deprived, emotionally exhausted, and desperate, and charging a fortune for something fairly simple. My honest advice to anyone considering: only do this if you're getting it covered by your work benefits. Otherwise, some online research plus self discipline to stick to a plan will likely get you the same result. read more

I highly, highly recommend Mommywise! I am a single, older mama, and by the time I finally decided to try Mommywise, my then co-sleeping 13 month old was literally waking multiple times an hour for nursing all night, and both of us were utterly exhausted from our 13 months of poor, fragmented sleep. I was highly skeptical, but I'm so grateful that my desperation forced me to proceed. My interactions with Natalie were so pleasant and she went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and needs. She promised "a whole new world for us" which I felt skeptical about, but this was indeed truly delivered! Erika was our consultant and she was so kind, patient, professional, and a pleasure to have in my home. She supported both of us in very successfully transitioning to full nights of crib sleep, 7pm-7/730am consistently! Honestly one of the best decisions I've ever made! read more

Before Mommywise and our coach, Erika, my 6 month old daughter was waking up 4+ times a night and needing milk to fall back asleep. Thank you to Mommywise and & Erika, my daughter now sleeps through the night! I was afraid to train my daughter for a variety of reasons. Erika was so sweet and fit right in with our family and made the process smooth. My daughter immediately felt comfortable with her. Even though there were maybe two instances in the first night or two that seemed difficult, I imagined it was going to be a lot harder. My daughter did great and I wish I had booked Mommywise a little sooner. Our lives have drastically changed for the better and I actually have energy during the day. Definitely recommend! read more

LITERALLY THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Lauren is just the most incredible, intuitive and experienced sleep expert out there. In 4 nights she had our 6 month old falling asleep on her own every single night without fail! So so so so worth every single penny. Doing this for every single kid we have! read more

Hiring Mommywise was the best decision we made, and our sleep coach Lauren was amazing! Our 11 month old was waking 3 times a night and had to be nursed back to sleep every time. Her sleep (and therefore ours) was getting worse, not better, the older she got. Naps were getting harder and she was starting to refuse her crib altogether. We also have a very active 6 year old so no time to rest during the day. I knew we needed an in-person expert to help. So many other services I looked into were remote only, and that wouldn't have been effective for us. Lauren was here 4 nights, and by the time she left, our baby girl was sleeping through the night, going down while still awake (instead of us holding her till she fell asleep), and she was taking her naps in her crib. From the moment Lauren arrived, she took the time to get to know our baby, her personality, and what she needed individually to get her sleeping through the night. The first night Lauren was here I slept better than I had since our daughter was born, while Lauren worked her magic training Mia that night and over the next 3 days and nights. Lauren is so experienced and knowledgeable about more than just sleep. She had spot on feeding tips and baby routine tips that all worked together to help with sleep. The cost is definitely expensive, but it was worth the investment. I only wish we had done this sooner! read more

We worked with Missy at Mommy Wise Sleep Training and had a really positive experience. Even though this is our third child, we found ourselves needing support--this baby was a much trickier sleeper and cried far more intensely than our other two. What made the biggest difference was Missy's hands-on guidance. Over three days, she walked us through every wake-up and every cry in real time, which helped us feel calm and confident that we were doing the right thing. Having a clear, consistent plan--and knowing we weren't alone while implementing it--was invaluable. Missy is thoughtful, responsive, and deeply supportive. Her approach gave us clarity, reassurance, and results when we truly needed them. We're very grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to other parents who need steady, experienced guidance through sleep training. read more

We are beyond grateful for the amazing support we received from Amy. Before she came, our baby was waking every two hours, and we were running on empty. Amy stayed with us for five nights and guided us through every step of the sleep training process. She made us feel completely comfortable, always reassuring us that our baby was happy, supported, and well taken care of. Her approach was gentle, clear, and perfectly tailored to our family. By the end of our time together, our baby was sleeping 11-12 hours straight--something we never imagined possible. Even after she left, Amy remained available to answer questions and help us navigate anything new that came up. Working with Amy has truly been life-changing, and we can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Amazing! My 10-month old son is now sleeping through the night !! Didn't think it was possible!

There's no doubt that the end result was successful--our baby slept through the night after the 5-day program--so no complaints about the outcome. However, the price (around $10,000) feels excessive given what's involved. Essentially, the sleep trainer provides a few tips, relies on the "cry it out" method, and sleeps in another room while monitoring the process. During the day, their role is mostly limited to observing naps via the Nanit camera, without much hands-on involvement. Ultimately, it comes down to whether parents are willing to handle a few tough nights of letting their baby adapt to new sleep routines. If you can stomach that and don't want to spend a small fortune, you could achieve similar results by simply putting your baby to bed, letting them cry, avoiding nighttime feedings, and not offering formula before bed to break the association between eating and sleeping. Honestly, this advice is widely available through YouTube videos or books. Another downside is having a complete stranger in your house for five days, often with little to do, which can feel awkward. That said, if you've exhausted every other resource--books, YouTube, or your own methods--and still aren't making progress, this could be a viable option. But at $10,000, it's a steep investment and may not feel worth it if you're able to figure it out on your own. read more

We absolutely loved working with Devon. She jumped right in when she arrived and immediately made us feel at ease. By the 4th night she was with us, our 4 month old was sleeping 11-12 hours a night and had dropped his witching hour. She also set the groundwork for a nap schedule that worked for our life and our older son's activity schedule. He wasn't 100% on the nap schedule when she left but with a week of Devon leaving, we had two solid 2-hour naps and a power nap in the late afternoon. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! read more

Yes, do it. You will be amazed. You will sleep. Life will be better. Just do it. I didn't want to do it. I didn't sleep train my older son (still regretting that) and didn't think it was fair to do it to our second child. I was also unsure if it would work and didn't want to flush my money down the toilet. Alas, we were desperate for sleep. The sleep trainer wasn't what I expected. She didn't hold me back nor was she bossy. Rather she guided us through his different stages and what each cry meant so that I didn't feel like I was abandoning my child. She always let me make the final decision and advised us rather than strictly telling us what to do. Just having someone there who has a ton of experience reading baby cues and cries was super helpful at allaying my distress. Highly recommend. read more

From the initial contact with Mommywise to the dates of our training session (and the months thereafter), we have been wholly pleased with the communication, professionalism, and expertise provided by this company. We would recommend them to anyone who is looking to improve the quality, consistency, and duration of their child's sleep without reservation. read more

The quick read: Prior to training, overnight sleep was usually 4-5 hours followed by hourly wake-ups, and naps had to be standing in the carrier walking/rocking. We were miserable and exhausted. After the magical Lauren came to help, our baby boy sleeps an average of 11 hours per night, and naps in the crib- putting himself to sleep each time. The best money we've spent! The longer version: We sleep trained at 4 months, and we were so skeptical this would work because we thought our baby boy was going to be too difficult. He wasn't a baby who wanted to, or liked to sleep (we thought). He fought us for every nap and and every bedtime. He needed to be rocked, breastfed, or in the carrier. He wouldn't even fall asleep in the car or stroller. He also had reflux, which didn't help. During my first call with Natalie, she asked some questions and said she was 100% sure they could help. Her confidence alone just reassured me, and even though it was a lot of money, we were desperate and needed to try. Lauren arrived for her 72 hour stay, and was just a calm, sweet presence- I felt like we knew her. My husband (who is not a social butterfly) even later referred to by saying "she was like a roommate you actually like". The ultimate compliment. Lauren assured us that our baby boy would be fine, she told us what the plan was, and made sure we understood the reasons why things would happen like when she would let him cry, when she might go in, and what we would look for while watching- this was really important to me to understand because it gave me comfort. Baby boy cried the first night, and tears were expected. By the 2nd night, he was already sleeping the majority of the night with some bouts of crying. By the 3rd night, he had put himself to sleep and slept 11ish hours. It was amazing. Over the course of the 3 days, the naps were also in the crib or in the stroller. They weren't perfect after 3 days, but about 2 weeks out they started to solidify as well. I can also say that since Lauren left, baby boy learned to roll, went through developmental leaps, got vaccinations, and got his first teeth and we had some temporary bumps as expected, but sleep always ironed itself back out and disruption was always minimal. I can't say enough about Lauren. She has been so compassionate and patient with all of my questions. She's always there to respond to a quick text when I need some reassurance or have a "stupid question", and she never makes me feel bad. She's helped me learn so much, and helped make me a more confident mom. I'm so thankful for her. She's not only amazing at what she does, but she's a great person too. Mommywise is worth it. To quote my skeptic husband, "if I had to do it again, I'd pay her and buy her a car". Haha. Thank you, Mommywise. read more

Absolutely life-changing! Our sleep consultant Missy was excellent. She made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process and we're still able to text her with questions every now and then! Our 4 month old went through a bad sleep regression: waking up 4-5 times a night, having no sleep schedule throughout the day and every single time she required rocking back to sleep. All this in the setting of my wife's maternity leave ending made us worried how we were going to manage it all. However, sleep training with Mommywise fixed all of it. It enabled us to have a set sleep schedule with our daughter being able to soothe herself to sleep by herself in her crib. Imagine someone telling me a baby could fall asleep on their own, 11-12 hours every night! I was in disbelief but it actually works! Not only did Missy help us with sleep training but she also helped my wife out with increasing her milk supply by providing a great breast-feeding/pumping schedule all while juggling a full-time job. Hiring Missy & Mommywise was the best investment we have ever made! read more

I am forever grateful for Mommywise and our lovely sleep consultant, Amy. If you have the means to use this service, PLEASE DO! I was quite literally at my breaking point when I desperately reached out to Natalie via the website platform on a Saturday night. I received a confirmation message for a sleep assessment for that upcoming Monday with Natalie, but there was also a message with her direct number if you needed her to "move mountains" to squeeze you in sooner. I embarrassingly texted Natalie the following morning, and she scheduled a call late Sunday morning after her brunch...which was adorable. We frantically completed our sleep assessment with millions of questions, uncertainty, and doubt. My husband and I have been best friends for over 10 years, and living our lives in shifts for 4 months, getting probably 3-4 hours of sleep a day, made us nearly unrecognizable to each other. Being a parent was supposed to be this beautiful thing, and although we love our little one tremendously, it was getting harder to see beauty in anything at this time. We were broken, but we knew that if we could at least get SOME sleep, things would get easier. We desperately waited for Amy to arrive on a Thursday afternoon. I was seriously pacing by the front door for like 20 mins until her arrival! She arrived! Myself, my husband and most importantly my little angel fell in love with her instantly. Amy is a wonderful person and was an absolute joy to have in our home. She fit right in and then some! She is not only a sleep consultant to our family but a life long friend that we love dearly. Amy sleep trained our little sweetie and gave us unending support the entire time. Since Amy has left, our dreams of parenthood have LITERALLY COME TRUE. This is not an overstatement. Our baby slept through the night by night 2 and by night 3 she was a champion night sleeper! It took around 4 weeks for her to have a solid 24 hour schedule down. But the nights were solid by the time Amy left. It's been almost 2 months since our baby was sleep trained and in the weeks since, we woke up as a family every morning and spent a couple hours in bed watching movies together before putting her down for her first nap. Now that both daddy and I are back at work, this is our weekend routine. This is what I always dreamed to have as a mommy...waking up to my adorable little family, snuggling all morning and having the energy I need to do all my loving mommy things! I am so grateful for Amy and Natalie for giving me the best gift a new mother could ever receive...sleep for the whole family. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Natalie if you and your family need sleep support. I promise you wont regret it! read more

I can't explain how life-changing hiring a sleep trainer was. My baby was waking up every hour at night - if I got a 2 hour stretch that would be a 'good night', and she was also 100% contact napping. But, I was going back to work soon so all of these things were issues, not to mention how my mental health was suffering (hello PPD/A). One morning I was at a breaking point and googled "sleep trainer" which is how I found Mommywise. It is an investment, but I was willing to try anything to get my mental health back, so we decided to go for it. When Melissa arrived, I was still apprehensive and nervous for the crying... I did not like hearing my baby cry for even 10 seconds. But Melissa's confidence and expertise helped so much, along with being able to leave the house for dinner the first two nights knowing that my baby was safe and was learning a new skill. Melissa encouraged me to protect my emotions by leaving if I wanted to, and after putting a lot of thought into it, I am so glad I did. But, during the majority of the training, I was the one physically putting my baby down and getting her up most of the time, which ended up being the best thing, because by the time Melissa left our house, I was able to be confident that I could continue enforcing the plan. Here's how sleep training has helped change our life in other ways: My baby started taking a bottle again and went back up in her weight trajectory, we traveled across the country and my baby adjusted beautifully despite huge overnight flight delays, she now sleeps in her own crib in her own room and my husband and I don't have to tiptoe around our bedroom anymore, I get to eat dinner/watch netflix/read my kindle in the evenings (still can't get over this one!), her wake windows have lengthened drastically so I get to hang out with her more, I feel confident that anyone can put her down so I feel good about leaving her with other people, and so much more. Also, I just have to say: I slept 8 HOURS last night, and my baby slept 11 HOURS - compare that to before sleep training when she was literally waking up 8x/ night. It is a big investment and a roller coaster of emotions at first, but in the end it is so worth it and both me and my baby are happier now that she has the skill of sleep. read more

Natalie was immediately responsive when I reached out to her, and what I really appreciated was that she didn't push her services. When I explained what was going on with my 15-month old, she gave me free advice for 30 min and said that it didn't seem like the situation required her full services yet. This made me trust her even more and I look forward to working with her fully one day! read more

Did a great job and got our girl sleeping the full night by day 3. Highly recommend!! read more

Mommywise - Sleep Specialists Near Me - New York, New York

Our Mommywise experience was life changing. Our son would only do contact naps and was waking every hour at night. We were at our end and desperately needed help. Natalie at Mommywise was so understanding and patient as we were trying to decide whether or not to make the investment. We finally decided it was time and Melissa came to support us. She helped us feel at ease during the whole process and is still available for any questions we have three months later! We would highly recommend Mommywise to any parent that feels like it's the time to sleep train. It is definitely a big investment but was totally worth it for us! read more

Would 100% recommend! Melissa was absolutely amazing! Not only did she help get our daughter sleeping in her own room, in her crib, fall asleep on her own and only waking up once for a bottle but she also helped with tips on her tummy issues and rolling abilities. Our daughter went from waking up every 30-45 mins needing to be rocked back to sleep and put in her snoo asleep to being an independent sleeper who uses her thumb to fall asleep. We went from having no schedule and only contact naps to having a great schedule and every nap in the crib. We are so happy we made the decisions to hire Melissa & Mommywise. read more

Amy was absolutely AMAZING, I can't even describe the experience in words. Our entire lives have been changed for the good, it's unbelievable and I can't thank her enough for everything she did !! read more

I have tears of happiness as I am writing this review. I cannot thank mommywise and our sleep coach , Amy , enough. We are forever indebted to them for giving us our life back. I was spending 18 hours a day in a dark room just holding my baby while he slept. It messed me up physically as well as mentally and started experiencing post partum depression. I thought I hit rock bottom. At 5 months I just couldn't take it anymore. I contacted mommywise after reading all their reviews and decided it's time to sleep train my baby if I wanted to stay alive! The day came and with trepidation we were waiting for Amy to arrive. I'm not exaggerating when I say that my baby slept through the night on day 2! By day 3 his nights were solid! His naps needed little more time but they are far far better than what it was before. Amy knew exactly when and what to do. She even let my husband and me spend a movie /date nights together. I felt sane after such a long time. I cannot express what Amy has done for us in words. She gave us our life back. She is like a member of our family, incredibly sweet and kind. By the end of the 5th day, I was so confident about the future. I definitely recommend mommywise and Amy. please sleep train your baby,it's never to early! read more

I'm not one to leave reviews on any platform, but I had to write one for Mommywise/Lauren. I reached out to Mommywise when my daughter was 9-10 weeks old because she was exclusively sleeping only while being held, with a pacifier, and required an insane amount of rocking...only to sleep for 2 hours at a time. This was all day and all night. My husband and I resolved that this was normal, which was told to us by many other well-meaning sleep consultants. We were told this was to be expected and to basically ride it out until she was at least 4-6 months until we could formally sleep train her. I had a breakdown, since I would need to return to work when she would be 4 months old. When I reached out to Mommywise, Devon reassured me that while it is normal for babies wanting to be held and rocked to sleep, it doesn't mean it isn't hard or that there isn't another way. It was the first time I felt validated in my emotions, and it was the first time I felt hopeful for any change, after attempting so many failed sleep contraptions. Lauren came over when our daughter was 12 weeks old. She was originally supposed to come later but her sleep was becoming more of an issue with her waking every 1-2 hrs overnight. My husband and I were sleeping in separate rooms, and we were just exhausted. Lauren said she could come over sooner and we were ecstatic that help was on her way! She immediately calmed our nerves and answered all of our incessant questions. It's hard to describe how she was able to do what she did, but she essentially observed our daughter's behavior and temperament throughout the nights and naps to learn when to intervene and how to best support her, without creating new bad habits or crutches. She coached my husband and I throughout the way and taught us what certain behaviors meant. Our daughter, who never slept alone and who would be screaming in our arms while we would try to rock her to sleep, was sleeping 11-13 hrs throughout the night and 1-3 hrs for her daytime naps. The most amazing part was that she was putting herself to sleep, and putting herself back to sleep when she woke up in the middle of her naps or night. No more pacifier. No more needing to be held 24/7. I must say, I was expecting our daughter to sleep as well for naps when Lauren left, but the first couple weeks were touch and go for the naps. Even now, there are days when her naps are 30-45 mins or she wakes up crying in the middle of her naps and won't go back down. But, I felt like I wasn't doing a good job and felt like I wasn't able to read her cues as well as Lauren, but Lauren helped me walk through those weeks when I felt like her naps were unraveling and reassured me that this was to be expected at her age, and she STILL supports me now with all my questions..nonstop questions. She is really so kind and amazing and thoughtful! We found a friend in her as well, and I am already hoping to have her over for our next children. So where are we now? Our daughter is sleeping through the night for 11-13 hrs a night, and her naps are progressively becoming more predictable. She sleeps anywhere from 45mins to 3 hrs, with the first two naps averaging about 1-2 hrs. My husband and I have so much more bandwidth to enjoy her and each other. We are able to work out, eat dinner together, my husband and I sleep in the same room, drink coffee without fear of spilling it on her head, pump at my leisure (I am an exclusively pumping mom). Our daughter is significantly happier and smiley, able to tolerate more tummy time, and has already made leaps in her development with more sleep in her system. We cannot be more thankful!! It really is life changing. read more

Lauren was absolutely wonderful! Not only did she get my 3.5 month old sleeping through the night in two nights, but my other two kids adored her because she is so fun to be around. My husband and I were on the fence about hiring Mommywise, mostly due to the premium pricing, but also because we were weary of having a stranger in our home. Well now that Lauren has visited and we are all sleeping until at least 7a every day (seriously, we have to wake the baby because he's the last one up), we can't believe we ever questioned it! Lauren is so nice and fit right into our crazy family! I'd highly recommend Mommywise if you can swing it. They are literal baby whisperers! read more

My experience with Mommywise was absolutely life changing. For a single, first time mother, sleep training was something I couldn't even imagine tackling alone. After doing research, I made the decision that this was the best service for my needs. Once Erika walked through my door, our lives (mine, my mother and mostly my son!) were forever changed. Not only was she amazing at the sleep training process, she was an exact fit for me on every level. We had a great time going through the steps and I did not find any of it overwhelming or stressful. Now that we are "on our own" the methods used have been extremely successful and easy for me to use on a daily basis. I can't thank Mommywise enough for their services. I'm forever changes as a mom and enjoying motherhood even more! Thank you, Mommywise & Erika :) read more

I cannot even begin to express the amount of gratitude we have for Amy and Mommywise. The gift of getting a full night of sleep cannot be understated - our daughter slept through the night (at 15 weeks old) on the second night that Amy was with us and she has not looked back since! Although our daughter was a "decent" overnight sleeper, the unpredictable nature of when she would wake up made me anxious and I could not really have restful sleep because I felt like I was on high alert all the time. Now I know when she goes to bed she will stay asleep until the morning - literally life changing! My daughter also struggled with naps and would only sleep for 30 minutes at a time so Amy gave us tools and taught us cues to see if our daughter could start to string together more sleep cycles during the day. We are still working on naps (as was to be expected) but they are getting much better! Our daughter has all the tools she needs to help soothe herself and get herself to sleep! Amy was so attentive, informative, caring, and communicative throughout the whole process. We could not have done this without her and are so thankful we worked with Mommywise! read more

Natalie was incredible! We came to Mommywise after our "good sleeper" went through travel, COVID, and teething which created bad habits including co-sleeping for a week which I swore I would never do. Natalie was responsive and showed up at our house just a few days later. Our son was 14 months at the time and I thought it'd be impossible to break bad habits and sleep train him at such a late age. Natalie taught us all the skills to implement sleep training for nights and naps and got Henry on track in just a few nights! Most importantly, she taught us the skills to read our son so that we can handle anything that comes our way - travel, illness, teething. We're all sleeping better than ever, in fact our son now sleeps until 7am each morning instead of 6am - something he'd never done before! read more

Amazing experience with Mommywise and our coach Lauren! Our son was waking up every 2 to 3 hours, eating twice overnight, and naps were all over the place. I was beyond exhausted after five months, but nervous about sleep training. Devon was so knowledgeable during our intro call and got us set up immediately. Lauren made us feel SO comfortable when she came to our home (our family, including our dogs all love her), and got him to sleep through the night on the FIRST night and weaned him off night feeding completely by the second night. I have no idea how it's even possible, but it was life changing and 10000% worth it. And the support we've gotten afterwards too has been amazing, and it's so helpful knowing we're not on our own for the one off questions. read more

We used Natalie and team with our first and then 3 years later with our second. Both times they had our babies sleeping from 7 to 7 and on stable nap schedules. They have a wealth of information on all thing babies and toddlers and some helpful advice on how to adjust our parenting approach (when we asked). This is certainly an investment, but one that we felt was well worth it. read more

Best investment we've ever made - hands down. Truly life-changing. It can not be understated how much we loved our experience with Mommywise. read more

When my wife and I found Mommywise, we were at our wits' end. It was 2am and I had just spent 40 minutes rocking our 7 month old to sleep... only to have her burst awake the second her back touched the crib, again. We needed help. We had already used 2 online sleep consultants, and our baby was still waking 6-8 times per night... and her nap schedule was even worse. With trepidation we waiting for Lauren to arrive, and to bring with her a miracle. What we received was nothing short..... Lauren arrived with the calm confidence of a master practitioner. She immediately explained her process, answered our questions, and put my wife and I at ease. After meeting our baby, she really dug into our routine and instantly found many areas that could be improved upon. And then came the first bedtime. Lauren made it look so easy. She prepped the crib, the nursery, and us, then deftly put the baby to bed. She watched our child closely and knew when to intervene and when to let her fuss. I am not exaggerating when I say that our baby was sleeping through the night on day 2! But Lauren did so much more. She helped us structure her naps, her feeding schedule, helped advance her nipple sizing and generally gave us the confidence to enact her plan. She even allowed my wife and I to have a dinner out... our first in nearly 8 months! Lauren accomplished all this while being incredibly sweet and kind to all of us. We truly did not want to let her leave. Simply stated, she changed our lives! We consider her a member of the family. If you're struggling to get your baby to sleep... If you're considering using Mommywise to help you out... all I can say is DO IT TODAY!!! And if you have the good fortune of getting connected with Lauren, consider yourself extremely lucky! read more

After nearly 6 months of relying on a night nurse on weekdays and suffering sleep deprivation on the weekends because our baby boy needed to be rocked to sleep every time he woke up (2-3 times per night), we finally decided to try Mommywise based on a colleague's glowing recommendation. Although Mommywise seemed expensive, keeping our night nurse indefinitely would've been far more costly and unsustainable! With just 72 hours of Mommywise's on-site training, our baby really did learn to soothe himself and go to sleep on his own, which is a much-needed skill that we're glad he has now. Now, we can all sleep peacefully with no night nurse--a truly positive, life-changer for the entire family! Natalie was extremely helpful, attentive, and empathetic. Her sleep training method really focused on coaching us as parents to become more attuned to what our baby was trying to tell us with every cry or other sound, so that we could make better choices about when we should actually go into his room and pick him up, and when we should let him learn to soothe himself. We learned to go in when he cried because of hunger, gas pains, or a poopy diaper--but to let him "cry it out" if he just didn't want the day to end. Natalie gave us the confidence to watch our baby on the monitor and really learn more about him without worrying that we'd be psychologically harming him by letting him cry. Instead, he just started to get better and better at soothing himself, slept much better, slept longer, and would always wake up with a big smile in the morning! Now, four weeks after sleep training, he's doing great and we couldn't be happier! Natalie was also great and extremely accommodating in the four post-training weekly phone coaching sessions to make sure we were all doing well and that the training was a success. We are eternally grateful to Natalie and Mommywise for all their help and coaching, and for teaching our baby to sleep happily! read more

I can unequivocally state that sleep training our daughter was one of the very best decisions I've ever made. We were completely enslaved to rocking/feeding her to sleep, rushing in every half hour to rock her back to sleep when she started fussing, and never being able to go anywhere because her schedule was so erratic. It was exhausting, frustrating and she was not getting enough sleep. I experienced a BRUTAL postpartum period, and was not mentally or physically capable of taking care of her in such a stressful fashion. Now, she sleeps for 11-12 hours straight every night, goes down for naps with no rocking/feeding and minimal crying, and we feel like we can have a life again! I can take care of her on my own now, and am living the mama life I dreamed of for years. It was worth every penny spent. A thousand thanks to Tiffany and Natalie at Mommywise. You've truly saved us! read more

I hired Natalie to help my family cope with NO sleep. My husband and I were exhausted as most parents are!!! Our first daughter was also a terrible sleeper so we decided to sleep train her ourselves. I'm so happy that we got professional help this time around. From the minute Natalie walked in our door, I felt at ease. She was reassuring that everything will be ok and everything was ok! She truly is a baby guru, and my daughter sleeps 13 1/2 hours every night. There's not much more that I can say other than thank you thank you thank you you are a lifesaver. read more

5 stars and more!!!! My hubby and I were so desperate to find a solution for my 6 month old sons sleeping issues (waking up multiple times a night) and we really needed EVERYONE sleeping again. We were at our wits end constantly going into his room 10+ times a night. I frantically contacted Natalie and she managed to get the fantastic Devon to our home within 48 hours! (we live in VA and they are in NYC) Natalie came to the rescue with fast action. We were skeptical at first... could jake really learn to sleep through the night in such a short amount of time?! The answer was YES! Devon is a MIRACLE worker who had my son sleeping safely and soundly THROUGH the night within 48 hours! She noticed our 3 year old son needed some help with early morning wakings and gave us really helpful tips that seem to be working wonders! Overall, Devon was calm, comforting, sweet and so so so forthcoming with advice from her years of experience. We are extremely grateful we found Natalie and Devon. THANK YOU!!! read more

We reached out to Mommywise when our 3 month olds sleep deteriorated to the point where he was up 4-5x a night. Awful! And once we engaged them, Natalie helped get our 3 month old sleeping through the night. Our life changed for the better immediately thereafter. What you pay for with Mommywise is an expert who you trust to guide you through the tough parts of sleep training (which generally involve letting the baby cry for some period of time). Someone who has the experience and expertise to say "this is normal, let him cry and figure it out" and "this is not good, let's go in and pat him, reassure him, reposition him etc". I think it was one really tough night, second was better and third was pretty smooth. He has been sleeping through the night ever since (some hiccups here and there but 95% great). I will say we still haven't got our naps to a great place (he often wakes up 30 min into naps) but every so often we get a long one!But we did see an incredible improvement in our baby's night sleep quality almost immediately and he is a MUCH happier baby as a result. Not to mention that Natalie is very patient and has been available to help with developments even months later (it's been I think 2.5 months since she stayed with us). If you're reading this, you are probably as desperate as we were so best of luck!!!! read more

If you're reading this, you're probably wondering if mommywise is worth the cost. Similar to many other reviewers, we can say unequivocally that it was. Natalie and the team were invaluable in helping our son become the best sleeper we know. We wouldn't have had him sleeping through the night as early as he did without them, and to this day (he's 2.5) he has a fantastic sleep schedule and goes to bed after a 5 minute routine with a simple "time for baby sleep!". Whenever we hit occasional regressions Natalie and the team are always there to help us work through them. We can't thank them enough and hope this helps you make the decision to work with them, which we are so happy we did! read more

How do you write a review for a sleep angel? We say to ourselves every single night that we put our son down in bed as he drifts off to sleep on his own, "Mommywise was the best thing we have ever done for our family." To say our 4.5 month old son hit a sleep regression is an understatement--for the entire month of November he woke up every 45 minutes overnight and during the day and no one was sleeping! Prior to the sleep regression he had never put himself to sleep, never slept in a carseat, never slept in a stroller, and couldn't fall asleep without being rocked! With that said, I was completely against sleep training from the beginning and began using strategies from the no-cry sleep methods around 3 months. When the sleep regression hit, we resorted to co-sleeping and then eventually tried more intense methods like "pick up/put down". After a month of zero sleep for anyone I started researching sleep coaches, and I even individually messaged everyone else who left reviews for Mommywise before deciding. We knew we needed help! As soon as Erika arrived I knew we had made the right decision. Her presence was instantly calming, and she felt like a friend we've always had. She was just as much a support for our son as she was for us. Erika put us at ease as she walked us through what to expect with the sleep training every step of the way. She was relatable, as a fellow mom, and understood our hesitations and talked us through all of them. After the 48 hours I seriously contemplated asking her to stay a few more days because we just enjoyed having her here so much! Even after her stay she was super responsive to all of my texts, emails and calls (which were quite a few as we were traveling for the holidays and changing schedules, and she helped us navigate all of that!). After working with our sleep angel/coach Erika and Mommywise, our son now sleeps 11-12 hours THROUGH THE NIGHT and takes two to three 1-2.5 hour naps A DAY, and very happily I might say. He now reaches for his crib when he's tired--I never thought I would say those words! He sleeps everywhere whenever he's tired! If you are deciding whether to work with Mommywise, and you're feeling so sleep deprived because your baby hasn't slept in a month and you're wondering if this is really the right decision...DO IT! It is LIFE-CHANGING! Erika, we love and miss you, you are AMAZING! read more

Our 2 year old autistic son had significant challenges sleeping through the night. Most experts told us that autistic children just sleep less and that there was not much we could do about it. I could not accept that as an answer and I had been searching for a solution to help my son and our entire family sleep. Melissa from Mommywise had our son sleeping significantly better by day 2 and he is now sleeping through the night. Her expertise was impressive and Natalie from Mommywise was also checking in with us every step of the way. If you are asking yourself if it is worth it---yes it is! Our son is happier and enjoying his days much more and so are we! As the commercial says, a happy kid is priceless! read more
