Read over 15 years of glowing Google & Yelp reviews from Mommywise parents.
Studies show that chronic sleep deprivation has a significant negative impact on parental mental health, relationships, immune systems, and careers. For babies, broken sleep impacts their brain and physical development, overall health, and happiness. We see cranky, fussy babies transform into happy, resilient babies with less gas, less reflux, and more smiles.
We’ve helped nearly 3,500 (and counting!) parents and babies recover countless hours of restful sleep. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Read on to find out why parents trust our expert sleep consultants!
We called Mommywise early in our daughter’s life—around 9 weeks—and I’m so glad we did as we’d likely still (over 5 months later) be putting her down late, having no adult time, and not sleeping for more than 3-hour stretches. We worked with Lee, who we loved and was a perfect fit for our family. She worked so flexibly around our needs and let us know what she thought might work best without leaving us feeling compelled to do anything we weren’t fully comfortable with. If you know you want to sleep train but you’re afraid or struggling, call Mommywise. Their approach works quickly and easily, Lee made it feel seamless, and the fast results way exceeded our expectations!
Our youngest daughter was unimaginably difficult for the first 5 1/2 months. During the day, unless you were actively walking her back and forth, she would start to cry hard. She was a terrible eater who only snacked and it felt like we were just barely getting enough milk for her each day. She wouldn't nap unless you aggressively paced back and forth with her to get her sleepy first and she predictably was an awful sleeper too who would only sleep if she was being held. The first several months, we spent a ton of money on having day and overnight help just so we could survive the days and get some sleep. Every day was filled with anxiety and stress trying to manage her and it is not an exaggeration to say it was the worst period of my wife and I's life. We were pretty desperate after 5 months when we realized her problems were only getting worse and that we didn't see a light at the end of the tunnel. We researched if there was any professional help that would stay with you until the problems were fixed and that is how we found Mommywise. At first, the reviews seemed too good to be true and the price was definitely something that made us hesitant to pull the trigger but we were desperate so we went for it. We did the 4 days and 4 nights package and needless to say, she is an entirely different baby. She gets large feedings effortlessly now, she is actually content by herself and doesn't need to be carried 24/7 and sleeps through the night like a champ. I now tell my wife when we reflect on how our daughter was before Mommywise that this was the best money we ever spent. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
I’m a first-time mom and had my son last year at the age of 40! I was struggling to get my son to sleep in his bassinet and could not stand to let him cry for more than 10 seconds, which resulted in me holding him essentially all the time. What started out as me needing to hold him for a few hours a day and nighttime awakenings quickly became a baby that was tethered to me 24/7 – needing to be held for all daytime naps and throughout the night. By the time he reached 5 months, I was at my breaking point of sleep deprivation, mental fatigue, and struggling with some anxiety/depression. I wanted begin sleep training, but knew I was not capable of doing it on my own. I googled “in home sleep training” and the first link was for “Mommywise”. The program described on their website sounded like a perfect fit, but I was apprehensive about the cost which seemed exorbitant. Despite this, I filled out the online form, and immediately received a call from Natalie. It was the Friday after Thanksgiving and I was honestly so impressed how responsive Natalie was in reaching out to us and assigning us a coach. Natalie was able to arrange for a coach, Melissa, to start right away. Melissa made arrangements to fly from her home in the Midwest to our home on the east coast on very short notice, which we really appreciated. She was extremely knowledgeable about sleep training and the challenges that can come with feeding as she has a background in speech language pathology. She was confident in her ability to sleep train our soon in 4 days/5 nights, and gave us the confidence that she could help us. She helped us wean our son off night feeds in only 2 nights when he was taking in 50% of his calories at night, which was amazing. She also coached us in how to keep him awake during daytime feeds to break his association of needing to drink to sleep. She taught us what to look for in terms of sleep cues and made it so that by the time she left, we were comfortable maintaining the schedule she instated. Most of all, she gave me the mental support to be able to sleep and trust that my baby was in good hands. After leaving, we continued to chat with Melissa periodically via text/phone and had weekly virtual calls for updates. I have zero regrets in having chosen Mommywise to sleep train my baby. While I know that probably could have been done using a book or online videos, I feel the hands on approach was the best fit for me. My son sleeps roughly 12 hours/night in his crib and puts himself to sleep. I now have from 6-7 PM onwards completely free to make dinner, eat dinner with my husband, watch TV, read, shower, etc. The transformation to my baby’s quality of life and mine is priceless. If you can afford it, I highly recommend this program. Thank you, Natalie and Melissa, for your service!
How do I briefly summarize the miracle that occurred, thanks to Devon and her sleep magic? I can’t begin to describe what it felt like to go from the pit of sleep deprivation, to a baby who sleeps soundly every night. Despite our hours of brainstorming, theories, and attempts, we could not figure out what would help him get the sleep we all desperately needed. We limped through the days and dreaded the nights. My husband and I were running on empty. Enter Devon and her sleep coaching. Two words: life altering. You forget what it is like to have a full, restful night of sleep especially when you fear you never will experience it again. Then with Devon’s advice and encouragement, it happens so fast. You wake up realizing that your fantasy came true: your baby slept through the night! She explained things in such a way that I felt excited about, and confident in, my decision to help my baby learn to love sleep. Devon truly restored our sanity, and for that I will be forever grateful!
Natalie is the BEST!! We were at our wits end and totally desperate when we reached out – our 6-month old was waking every 1-2 hours, and would only nap in his stroller or in our arms. We dreaded bedtime because it was a disaster with hours of crying. We tried sleep training with books and even hired a sleep consultant who gave us a “plan,” which just didn’t work. Natalie helped us figure out what would work for OUR son, and now he sleeps 11-12 hours every night, takes 3 naps in his crib, and we are all so much happier. We couldn’t have gotten here without Natalie’s calm and confident guidance, and we can’t thank her enough!!
Erika gave us the confidence and clarity of thinking that we were lacking from being completely run down, exhausted and overwhelmed. She made us realize that we weren’t failing as parents, but simply needed strong support to make consistent decisions and work as a team to get our baby’s sleep on track. Honestly, Erika has given us a gift for the years to come. My husband and I have gone on multiple date nights and are getting along a million times better. The heavy cloud of exhaustion that used to hang over us has lifted. Words really can’t describe how thankful my husband and I are!
Natalie was the only one to ask us how WE–my husband and I–were feeling throughout all of this, how it was affecting us. All the others just seemed to have a specific “method” they were shilling. We love that about Natalie, it’s not just the mechanics of sleep that she solves, but she works on any baggage we bring to the whole idea of “baby sleep” and clears it away so sleep can happen–for everybody! Natalie didn’t ask us to change our parenting style…and throughout the whole process, she made sure that we were emotionally and mentally prepared for the next steps before we took them. I AM certain I would not have been able to survive any sort of sleep training without Natalie. Looking back, I want to kick myself for not calling her sooner!
I was truly skeptical that anyone would be able to help me get my 8-month old son to sleep through the night, but Devon was a life-changer. She was extremely supportive and walked me through the entire process. By the second night he was like a changed baby. I couldn’t believe it! My little boy has been sleeping through the night each and every night since Devon came into our home. My only regret is not contacting her sooner. I truly can’t thank her enough. Not only did this experience give me back my evenings, it really impacted my son’s demeanor. Before this, he was cranky and clingy most of the day. Once he started napping and sleeping through the nights, everything changed. I now have a little boy who is so much happier and easy going. Thank you, Devon!
Thanks to Erika, our 10-month old twins are finally sleeping through the night, and napping in their cribs!! In a matter of days, we were able to relax, and catch up on sleep ourselves. As a mother of twins herself, Erika helped us feel more in control, and create a schedule that worked for us. That was an unexpected bonus! Now have more energy as parents, and our babies are finally well rested. We could NOT have done this without Erika’s support. She helped us move out of our darkest days, and truly can’t imagine how we survived before. Thank you Erika!
I purchased so many books and joined so many forums about how to sleep train our baby with different methods, and literally, NOTHING worked. Lee is an experienced expert who helps parents and babies who are suffering from lack of sleep, transform their lives and regain sanity. It is honestly the best investment we have EVER made. I can never be bothered to write reviews, but I really felt like I needed to talk about our experience with Lee and Mommywise in order to tell other parents who are going through the same nightmare as we were that THERE IS a solution to your baby’s sleeping habits, and that Mommywise IS the one to call for help.
Now that we’ve completed our program, we feel AWESOME!! We now are a real happy family. Being a parent, understanding our daughter, interpreting her signs, realizing what she wants, and being able to give it to her is just an amazing feeling! If you have doubts about making such a big investment, that’s normal, but don’t let that stop you. Mommywise is worth every penny! Especially as a first-time parent, you don’t really know what you’re doing. Let someone help you, let Mommywise help you.
Before Devon stayed with us, our 6-month old twins were waking several times a night and needed to be patted to sleep for every bedtime and nap. I didn’t believe that things could be resolved as quickly as they did, but they were significantly improved even after the first night! And now they’re happily sleeping through the night and napping in their cribs. We couldn’t have done it without Devon’s guidance and support, and are so thrilled to be sleeping again!
Sara was amazing. We went from waking up every 1-2 hours at night to sleeping through the night in 3 days. She really took the time to get to know our family and our situation, and tailored her approach so it would work for us. Most importantly, she was both highly attuned to my anxieties AND incredibly calm about the whole thing. I felt reassured by her expertise and calm energy while also not feeling foolish because of all my anxiety. I can’t thank Sara enough for her help and support. She gave us our life back. My only regret is not reaching out sooner!
The difference in our lives in just two days was absolutely remarkable. The results have really exceeded my expectations. I feel so much more confident now in my ability to manage our daily lives, which isn’t something I necessarily predicted; that is, while I certainly hoped this would address the sleep problems we were having, I didn’t even fully appreciate how uneasy I had become, not knowing what any given day was going to look like. It’s in Meredith’s nature not only to facilitate resolving the sleep issues, but also to help instill a confidence in your ability to continue to help your baby sleep. We are all so much happier!
Meeting Devon was like meeting an angel! I had many doubts in myself about being a new mom. She really helped me believe in myself and give me the confidence I needed to get through the biggest change in my life. My husband and I both feel more confident and self-assured in our parenting. Parker sleeps 12 hours through the night, and is overall a happy, healthy baby with happy healthy parents, much thanks to Devon!
It was great working with Erika because, unlike all the books and websites, she really gets to know your baby and your family, and provides exactly the right advice and individualized attention we needed. I couldn’t believe how quickly things changed. Now, I actually feel relaxed, well-rested, coherent, and I have the energy to really enjoy being a mom. My husband and I have our evenings together again, and he is so happy to have his wife back. I feel confident that we’ve done the right thing for our family, and that we can stay on track so we never go back to how stressful life was before. It was so helpful to have Erika’s support, and we couldn’t have done this without her.
No amount of reading or talking to family and friends could have prepared us for bringing home our twin girls from the hospital. We knew it would be “tough” but one had severe colic, both had trouble eating, and we were trying to handle learning how to parent to 2 difficult babies, on zero sleep. We were flailing, and then we found Devon. Devon warmly, calmly, and confidently coached us through what was undoubtedly the hardest time of our life. She taught us how to teach the girls to sleep, how to get them on a feeding schedule, and truly was the one person who got us through. She is extremely wise, very experienced, and truly an angel for any new parent. Now, the girls are 7 months, sleep through the night, and are an absolute joy during the day.
Erika is a life saver! She came to us when my daughter was 6.5 months old, and stayed with us for 72 hours. By the second night, our baby was sleeping through the night (12 hours) with minimal crying. This was a miracle!! Erika was kind, understanding and very loving toward our family. When she saw that we were busy, she would play with our 4-year-old son. She went beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend Erika!! And it’s just amazing that our baby is sleeping through the night; she is so happy when she wakes up. Thank you, Erika and Mommywise!
When we first spoke with Erika, my husband and I were very desperate. Although we were mostly skeptical of sleep training, we knew that the every-hour-and-a-half feedings at night could no longer be sustained; sleep deprivation was taking a toll on our entire family. We worked with Erika who is not only very effective in helping families get the sleep they need, but she is a humble, compassionate mom of twins who understands the dilemma of needing to think of the entire family, not just one child. I highly recommend Erika and Mommywise. Thank you for everything!
Before working with KayLee our little one would only fall asleep nursing, and it would take multiple attempts to transfer him to the crib, where he would sleep for only 20-25 minutes at a time. Now we can put him down awake, and know that he will fall asleep on his own, which is a HUGE life improvement! We have so much less anxiety because he is napping better and longer, it allows us to have a schedule, and all of the sleep (both day and night) makes him so much happier! It had really gotten to an unreasonable place prior to this, and my husband and I were getting quite hopeless about it. After working with KayLee, things have completely turned around.
Life was out of control and unpredictable before we met Sara. Our baby now sleeps 11-12 hours a night in his crib and takes scheduled naps every day. Bedtime is no longer scary. He is much more rested and the routine is comforting to him as well. We all sleep through the night, and are happier during the day. Sara is sensitive to everybody’s needs at all times. She empowered us to help our baby develop healthy sleeping skills, and her confidence and support made the process so much less scary. We are so grateful to have worked with Sara, and thrilled be sleeping through the night!
Before working with Natalie, I was frustrated, confused, didn’t trust my own gut on how to help my son sleep, and not enjoying being a mom. I felt like I was losing my mind. Now, it’s like a totally different world. Now, he knows how to fall asleep on his own, and even reaches for his crib when he’s tired! Natalie helped us through a trip to Asia, and gave me the confidence to know that I can handle it, no matter how many time zones we cross. Mommywise CAN help you do what feels impossible. With Natalie’s support, I knew I could get through the whole process, and make it to the other side without giving up. Months later, we’re still sleeping!
