Natalie Erickson Sleep Consulting
I’m Natalie Erickson, Pediatric Sleep Consultant, teacher, and momma to an energetic little boy and a beautiful baby girl. I work with parents looking to get their little ones sleeping through the night so they can too!
Babies don’t come with a manual… I’m sure you’ve heard that one before. Well it’s true. At the early ages of life to adolescence, sleep should take up about 50% of your child’s daily activities. And if that is not happening then this means no one in the house is getting the sleep they need. Sleep is a skill, and if that skill was never taught then problems can occur. It may not happen right away and also may not have seemed so bad, at first, but if this skill isn’t developed then things only get worse.
Together we find practical and effective solutions to these sleep struggles that work with your family so that you can have less stress, get your night’s back, and ensure a good night’s sleep for everyone.
Janelle Perfetto
