What Parents Are Saying:

Do yourself a favor if you're struggling with a sleeping baby / toddler contact Britny. I wish that we had known about her expertise with our first two! And yes, we are not first time parents, but our third, and we still learned so much. We went from fighting bedtime and long stretches awake in the middle of the night, to peaceful sleep within a week. Britny not only gave us the confidence we needed, but also simplified the entire sleeping process. She worked with us, our child, and our home set-up.  Then she customized what approach we needed to take, with our 15 month old. Britny is an expert, honest and does not make you feel like you're being judged or have done anything wrong. She is kind and you and your baby’s biggest cheerleader. During the time we worked with her, our daughter mastered sleeping in her own room the first time, putting herself to sleep and sleeping through the night. So much change all at once and Britny set us up for complete success. I also love that she was equally as proud of our daughter as we were. 

Also, it isn’t limited to just sleep experience, as we were able to work with Britny earlier in our daughter’s life on eating and independent play. These experiences were equally incredible.

We've all heard that sleep can change everything, especially when you're talking about a newborn baby and their caregivers. We struggled with keeping our 4-month old baby girl asleep at night and sought out expert advice. In one consultation, Britny was able to help us identify what we could do differently in our nightly routine to help our baby sleep better. Within a couple of days our baby was sleeping peacefully through the night. With her sleep under control, we were able to start to get our sleep and evenings back, too! It was a game changer.

A few months later we sought additional consultation on a Montessori style bedroom, in-home work stations, and a bathroom routine which we adopted when our baby was just 8 months old. We have seen our little one become independent in her space. At 1.5 years old, we are proud to say that she loves to brush her teeth, helps in the kitchen, announces when she's going night night, and takes time to work on activities on her own. 

Britny understands that all families and children are unique and was skilled at adapting methods to fit our family. She was able to help with my confidence as a parent in all aspects.

I wish this service had been available when I had my babies! When I went back to work, I happily gave Britny ,”The Baby Whisperer,“ my 6-week old daughter knowing she was in more capable hands than my own. As a new mom I didn’t know a lot and every week it was different! Britny asked me, “Does she Transfer well?“ I had no idea what she meant! How to best get a baby to sleep? Britny knows all the best methods after her many years of experience in infant care. Feeding? Toileting? These important milestones are so vital and would be infinitely easier with professional help to take the guesswork out of it. Britny knows what works and what doesn’t and she can recognize the infant or toddler’s cues when they are ready.  Toddler activities?!?! I was completely lost. In my mind they were too little to do much...how wrong I was! The Montessori Method is amazing and Britny has countless ideas for learning and enrichment. It is now over 12 years since Britny snuggled my sweet baby girl and Britny will always hold a special place in my heart for the amazing care she gave Lola and the wonderful advice she gave me.

Britny Tollstam is an amazing caregiver and person. Britny has a calm approach to teaching children.  She is patient, trustworthy, kind, gentle, prepared, understanding, confident, careful, well trained, and very loving.  Everyday Britny would encourage me as a new mom and encourage my kids to explore their own skills.  She would remind me of patience and she would remind me of how individual each child is.  Along the way, as most parents do, I would question if I was doing the right things to support my kids.  Britny would always help to guide me with confidence and such care.  There is no one better than Britny and I credit my children’s amazing foundation with those pillars that Britny helped to install.

Our toddler is well on her way to falling asleep independently at bedtime. We are happy & relieved that our nearly three year old daughter started falling asleep on her own about an hour to an hour-and-a-half earlier than she had while we were rocking her to sleep.

Britny helped us in the planning phase to allow our daughter to get comfortable with the idea of going to sleep on her own before we made the change. Britny’s suggestions for a successful transition went beyond the usual bedtime routine steps. Her understanding of a toddlers’ social/emotional development helped us to build opportunities for more independence throughout the day (which was more than welcomed by our precocious little one). Our daughter built up her confidence and sense of autonomy as the day went on and she was better prepared to fall asleep independently.

In spite of being well-prepared, our toddler not surprisingly reacted to the transition in ways I wouldn’t have predicted and took longer to adjust to the new routine. It was so helpful to be able to reach out for reassurance and guidance, especially because it took several weeks for us as parents and our daughter to work though the adjustment phase. Britny extended her help to us when the tears lasted longer than expected and the protesting began before we even got to putting on pjs!

I would recommend Britny’s expertise in sleeping training, especially if you are looking for support throughout the process.

Britny was introduced to me by a good friend as we were struggling with sleep with our four month old boy. While we had done some research on sleep training, it wasn't until after our consultation with Britny that I was confident in our sleep routine and in moving forward with sleep training. Her practical approach and knowledge led me to feel more comfortable with our decision to sleep train. We are very grateful for the introduction and happy to be working towards having an independent sleeper!
