Carrie was wonderful to work with. We needed the support to be able to support our son in falling asleep independently. At nine months, he went from needing 45 minutes of help to fall asleep, typically by feeding and waking up two times a night to falling asleep within five minutes and not waking up. If he does wake up, he's able to put himself back to sleep within five minutes. Having Carrie and her team allowed us to confidently support our son getting to sleep. Worth the money for much better sleep for all of us in the family. If you're on the fence, I would say do it!
I hardly ever leave reviews (honestly!) There are very few things in life that wow you beyond belief after the purchase of a product/ service etc but Carrie is a God send! She helped my 3.5, almost 4 month old, transition out of the swaddle, into the crib, into daycare and helped me regulate a schedule so she wasn't going to bed at 930 pm. We got our nights back and baby girl has learned how to put herself to sleep at night and at naps. Carrie truly cares. I've been telling all my mom friends about sleepy time sidekicks. Best money spent!
From when our boy was born he would only sleep when he was being held and usually would require lots of rocking. At 4.5 months we decided it was time for some help! Meagan had our boy putting himself to sleep and sleeping through the night in his crib by night 4. She was always available when we had questions and always checking in with us! We couldn't have done it without her guidance! Our boy is much happier baby now that he is getting the sleep he needs!
Carrie was so helpful to help our little one sleep! She was kind, understanding, and so knowledgeable. We appreciate the time and patience she took to help us navigate more sleep for our 6 month old. She was able to teach us how to change our routine, respond to babies cues, and ultimately get more sleep. I love that they make unique plans to fit your family and your needs. Highly suggest Sleepytime Sidekicks!
We reached out to Carrie after our daughter had spent weeks of only contact napping and screaming the moment her back hit the crib. Within 2 days, our baby was comfortable and sleeping independently. She's maintained these skills over the months and even on an international trip! Carrie was readily available to answer and questions we had and gave us the confidence to work on independent sleep with our LO. We are so thankful for Carrie and her guidance!
It was taking us over an hour to get our 1.5 year old son to fall asleep. We would be patting his back and rocking him to soothe. Once he we thought he was asleep we would try to crawl out but he would catch us. We would try to let him cry but he was just so hysterical so we would start the process all over again. We worked with Carrie and she got him to fall asleep in his own in a mater of a couple of days! Little man is now able to independently fall asleep giving us our night back! Carrie was able to effectively and compassionately give us the tools we needed for us to confidently implement our agreed upon approach along with helpful tips on what to do should the plan start to go side ways and get us back on track. We read so many articles online and tried so many different things but having Carrie to lean on made all the difference. Having that live coach to talk you through it made this such a painless experience for us and I don't know what I would do without her! Highly highly recommend sleepy time sidekicks to any mamas out there (or daddies) that are struggling to get there little one to sleep. Thanks Carrie!
Carrie helped us get our 6-month-old sleeping 12 hours/night! She made it super simple, getting to know our specific situation and then creating a personalized sleep plan that was easy to follow. It only took 3 nights for him to go from multiple wake-ups overnight, to full nights of sleep. We are SO grateful to be sleeping again and our baby is such a happy camper, too :)
We are so grateful for Meagan and the incredible support she gave our family. In just one week, our nights have improved so much, and we finally feel like we're moving in the right direction. Meagan gave us the confidence, guidance, and encouragement we needed every step of the way. She took the time to answer our questions, provided practical advice that actually worked, and made us feel supported throughout the entire process. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in helping your family succeed, we can't recommend Meagan enough!
Before reaching out to Meagan, our 2.5 year old daughter was only able to fall asleep with one of us in her room. After a week of working with Meagan we are able to leave the room and she falls asleep on her own. She is the best and I would recommend her to everyone who needs help with sleep training!!
Working with Carrie was such a life saver! I was so doubtful starting the process but she has a supportive and confident style which really helped. Results were great! My 5.5 month old leant how to self sooth, within 2-3 days cries became much less and less, and by end of two weeks the knowledge transfer was on point. I recommend her 1000 times! Thanks Carrie!
I had a such a great experience with Sleepytime Sidekicks! My 10 month old was being nursed to sleep and waking several times a night and being nursed back to sleep. Meagan was so knowledgable and helpful from start to finish. Before we started she made sure I had all the background knowledge that I needed and was a great support throughout the week as we tackled night time sleep and naps. After just one night, my son had no wakes ups or night feeds. From then on, bedtime got easier each night with continued progress throughout the week. Naps were a little trickier for my son but Meagan provided continued support and adjusted the plan to meet my sons needs. So thankful for Sleepytime Sidekicks and would absolutely recommend!
I owe my son's longest stretch of sleep yet to Carrie at Sleepytime Sidekicks! I came to Carrie for guidance as I approached the daunting task of some foundational sleep training with my (almost) 3 month old, who had suddenly been sleeping poorly in the night. Up until this point, I had taken an intuitive approach with feeding/naps, and felt hesitant about tracking all of his patterns so carefully. I worried I'd lose the sense of freedom and feel overwhelmed, and wondered if my son could benefit still being so young. But with the dreaded 4 month sleep regression looming, I decided to seek help. And am so glad I did!!! Carrie was incredibly inquisitive, compassionate, and reassuring in her initial discovery process to understand my son's unique habits, challenges, and our sleep goals. She provided me with an easy to follow framework, tailored for my son, that contained a flexible schedule, and information on sleep hygiene, sleep pressure, and links to helpful articles. After one day of implementing many of these recommendations, my son was taking the longest naps of his life in his crib, and had the longest stretch of overnight sleep ever! Carrie also kindly followed up with me each day to see how things were going, and answer any questions. What I thought would be an exhausting exercise in tracking my son's sleep habits ended up feeling like unlocked insights that made me better able to read him and support him. And I have this team to thank!
We reached out to Carrie after our 10-month-old suddenly began waking every 1-2 hours throughout the night - sometimes even every 45 minutes. He had slept through the night from 2.5 to 6 months, so this sudden regression was mentally and physically exhausting for us. Being pregnant, it was especially important that we figure out what was going on and help him learn to fall asleep independently so we wouldn't be up with two babies all night. We had tried sleep training on our own, but kept second-guessing ourselves and weren't sure how to pivot when things didn't go as planned. Carrie changed all of that. From the very beginning, she was patient, reassuring, and incredibly informative. Her guidance made us feel secure throughout the entire process, and even though our son is very stubborn, he made progress every single night. We're so grateful for Carrie's support and expertise. Navigating this on our own felt overwhelming, but with her help, we finally felt confident - and finally got some sleep. Highly recommend!
Being completely honest I thought we had no chance getting my almost 3 year old to sleep in his own bed let alone for the whole night. For 3 years he would end up in our bed and he was the only one really sleeping. After reaching out to Meagan, she was able to come up with a plan that best fit for our situation. With all the support and encouragement from Meagan our son finally sleeps in his own bed for the whole night. And like many parents say I wish I reached out sooner. But everyone in our house now can get a full night sleep all thanks to Meagan.
We started working with Carrie a little after our baby turned 4 months old. He was waking up anywhere between 4-8 times a night, and would take an hour to get down initially, often with many false starts. It was brutal. Within a few days of working with Carrie, he was putting himself to sleep within 10 minutes and only waking up once to feed. It gave us our nights back and allowed us to feel human again! We just returned from 2.5 weeks in Europe and we were able to lean on his training to handle jet lag and get a restful nights sleep after very busy days. Highly recommend the text support - Carrie helped me to feel confident in the moment and stick to the plan.
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Sleepytime Sidekicks and Carrie our sleep consultant! She began working with me & my 4 month son right at the start of my husband's deployments when I was getting maybe 4 hours of total sleep a night for weeks. She immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in the process! My son had more push back at the start than we had anticipated, but Carrie held my hand every step of the way and continually gave me words of affirmation! My son went from needing to be held all night to sleeping independently for most the entire night! I had an amazing experience and cannot recommend these ladies enough!!
My 10 month old was still waking several times a night and would only settle by nursing. Carrie was so patient with us as I struggled to come to terms with sleep training. When I finally decided we were ready, she immediately gave me a thorough and comprehensive plan. She was also extremely responsive and available every step of the way to troubleshoot and calm my concerns. After only a few nights, my daughter was successfully sleeping 12 hours, and waking up happy! We are beyond grateful and could not recommend Carrie more! She is amazing and you won't be disappointed!
Meagan helped us get our 4 month old son sleeping through the night. She took the guesswork out of the sleep training process by helping us understand age appropriate wake windows and how to follow sleep cues. She was there to guide us through the entire process and got our little one sleeping through the night in no time!
Meagan from Sleepytime Sidekicks changed my family's life! We had been having such a hard time with our 7.5 month old getting him to give up feeding twice a night and nap longer than 30 minutes at a time. In just ONE night he dropped the overnight feeds and in less than ONE week he was consistently sleeping through the night and napping 1.5 hours twice a day. Meagan helped us create a schedule and routine that worked for our family's schedule. She was fun to work with and so supportive throughout the week. I'm sad to be done working with her but glad we don't need to any longer! She left us with tips for traveling, sickness, teething, daylight savings and schedules for our baby up until 3 years old. I can't recommend Sleepytime Sidekicks enough!!
Carrie was truly a lifesaver when it came to helping my 7-month-old learn to sleep. She is the only sleep trainer I found who offers true one-on-one text support, which made a huge difference during those tough moments. She took the time to understand our family's needs and always respected what I was and wasn't comfortable doing. I never felt pressured - only supported, reassured, and guided every step of the way. I can't recommend her enough to any parent looking for personalized, compassionate sleep help.
Total game changer for our 3 month old's sleep. Our baby sleeps so much better now and my mental health is so appreciative. Meagan was so hands on, answered every question and was so supportive. Highly recommend.
I reached out to Meagan after MONTHS of going back and forth with myself wondering if sleep training was the right avenue to take. Finally, I decided it was time. My 16 month old went from frequent nighttime wakes (3-5 times a night) and 30 minute naps to sleeping through the night and a 2hr nap. My son picked right up on putting himself to sleep independently to the point where he even brings me his sleep sack now when it's time for bedtime. A hard decision made easy on my mama heart when I noticed how well he was doing and how much his daytime mood changed. Extremely thankful that I put my trust in Sleepytime Sidekicks.
I did not think it was possible my 8 month old baby would go from co sleeping and contact napping to independently sleeping in just one week but it's happened. I am grateful to Carrie and Sleepytimesidekicks. They gave me the tools and the SUPPORT I desperately needed not only for myself but for my baby. I am so happy that my baby is getting the sleep she needs and as her mom I am getting the sleep I need to be the best mom I can be for her. My husband and I are so grateful!
I came to Carrie after reaching my breaking point that I wish I never had gotten to in the first place! My daughter is 7 and was not sleeping through the night. Waking sometimes 2-3 times in a night and it was really weighing on everyone! Carrie gave me my confidence in the plan that she made for me and just the chats that we had surrounding the whole issue. It wasn't easy but it was so worth it and Carrie helped see us through and it honestly happened a lot quicker than I thought! My daughter is sleeping through the night on a consistent basis. My confidence has given her the confidence to be able to fall asleep on her own and I honestly can't thank Carrie enough for the whole experience! Cannot recommend enough if your little (or big little) isn't sleeping through the night!!
Thank you Sleepytime Sidekicks! We were struggling big time on how to get our son to sleep. It felt like we tried everything, buying programs, books, etc. My son used to sleep 3-4 hours when we first put him to bed then up every hour after that. It was so exhausting and I was so anxious about not getting enough sleep, I was anxious about my son not sleeping, it was a big mess. Meagan swooped in and saved the day! She created a sleep plan tailored to exactly my sons needs. Not only was my son sleeping through the night, he was also napping better and napping in his bassinet!! While I love a good contact nap every once in a while, it wasn't feasible for us to only contact nap. Meagan provided unlimited support and answered every single question big or small. She checked in and offered advice and support. I now have the tools and knowledge to help my son sleep and thats all thanks to Sleepytime Sidekicks!! We are so grateful!!
We were at a loss for our 2 boys with sleep and sleepytime sidekicks legit saved us!! My 3 year old was sleeping in bed with us every night. 2 weeks working with Meagan, he was sleeping in his room and toddler bed all on his own! Also worked with our 16 month old getting him to sleep in his room all night as well!! (3year old was harder) haha They have been a total lifesaver! I send everyone I know to them! And it's a Free discovery call to see if it's right for you! They are so supportive throughout the entire process! I can't say enough good things about them!
Oh my gosh, I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this company! I specifically worked with Meagan and she truly changed our life! Within a day or two, my 10 month old was sleeping through the night and waking up at a predictable hour! Her naps finally became longer than 30 minutes and she has now learned to self settle on her own when she wakes up. I never thought we would see the day of putting her down fully awake to go to sleep on her own. The text support was amazing and I truly feel like I gained a friend in the process. She was so comforting, encouraging and resourceful! They're the best!
We had the most AMAZING experience with Sleepytime Sidekicks! Meagan was wonderful and helped us sleep train our 4-month-old daughter, and the results were almost instant. Before working with them, we were co-sleeping, waking up every single hour, and hardly sleeping at all. Now, I can put my baby down at 7 or 8 in the evening, and she falls asleep independently and sleeps so good through the night, which allows me to finally get rest too. They specifically create a routine tailored to your family, and even provide two different options so you can choose the method you feel most comfortable with. The process was not only effective but also incredibly informative - they explained everything in detail and gave us the confidence we needed. Their support, especially through text, was outstanding and made us feel guided every step of the way. It has truly been life-changing for me and better all around for our family. I'm so grateful for their kindness, expertise, and encouragement, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking for gentle, effective sleep support!
I came across Sleepytime Sidekicks on Instagram and was instantly intrigued by their text service option. Our 6-month old was waking up multiple times throughout the night and only napping for 35-40 minutes and I was desperate for resolution. After a particularly bad night I decided to sign up for a consult. Two days later we made the decision to purchase a package - I almost went with the sleep plan only and I'm so glad I purchased the text support. PURCHASE THE TEXT SUPPORT! I fully believe that I would not have been able to stick to the plan without our wonderful consultant, Carrie. We texted from 7 am to 9 pm and she gave me constant guidance, updated schedules, and most importantly - moral support! I was so scared to try the cry it out method (spoiler - I shed more tears than the baby did) and Carrie supported me and encouraged me every step of the way. We had great and quick results, which still just amazes me. Less than 2 weeks from when we started and our guy is sleeping for his full 1 hour nap, is only waking up once overnight to eat, and, most importantly, he knows how to get himself to sleep. Outside of finally getting sleep for myself, I am SO happy that our little one has a strong foundation for healthy sleeping habits. Wish I could give them 100 stars!
Let me start at the end: We now have a sleeper!!!!! Let's back it up: We were so hesitant to hire a sleep consultant, but we were also SO tired and we were ready to try just about anything.... so after some Google Searching and scanning the Southeastern Mom Facebook group, we found Sleepytime Sidekicks. Our son was 20 months old when we finally reached out to Carrie. He had health things that prevented us working toward this earlier BUT we could have/should have done this 6 months ago. We were scared for two reasons: 1.) Our son started to vomit when he was put down "drowsy but awake" and 2.) we did not want to sacrifice 1-3 nights of sleep to sleep train if it didn't work. But when we finally reached out to Carrie, we immediately felt at ease. During the consultation, Carrie said that the plans were custom to each child based on their needs, but she also acknowledged all of the strategies were things that are well known and researched. But, the service that I feel was MOST valuable and that I didn't realize that I really needed was someone that put my husband and I on the same page, divide up the responsibilities, and hold us accountable. Carrie did a FANTASTIC job professionally and knowledgeably getting us on track for success. We followed the plan (with options) and our son was going down by himself (saying "BYEE!!!" and staying down all night by day TWO!!!! I honestly think we needed be trained on how to cope with emotional toll these changes bring and Carrie was there for us through the whole process. So yes, Carrie helped our son sleep successfully through the night, but she really also helped train us to navigate this part of his life. She is outstanding, compassionate, reliable, consistent... we just cannot say enough good things about her. I would hire her again without hesitation and much earlier if we have a next time :)
We are so grateful for Meagan and Sleepytime Sidekicks - working with them was lifechanging. We were doing our best and 100% contact napping and co-sleeping after a tough sleep regression and it just wasn't working, no one was getting enough sleep and I was an anxious mess every single day and felt like I was falling short of meeting our baby's needs. I was so nervous to sleep train and worried about how it would impact our 5-month-old, but it was the best thing we could have done for our family. Our baby is happier and more well-rested and Meagan held our hand the entire way so we could gain the confidence we needed to support his sleep and know he was ok. We have balance in our days again (which felt impossible after the newborn stage) and we love seeing our son thriving. Please ask for help if you need it and I promise these ladies are the best!!
I worked with Carrie a couple of times - first to get my second son through a tough four month sleep regression, and second to work through separation anxiety woes around 18 months. Both times, the plan she developed for me worked swiftly, and I got to see my son well-rested and secure. All anxiety around bedtime vanished, and my children and I were able to enjoy the ritual of going to sleep at night again. I am so grateful of the confidence that working with Carrie instilled in me - and having a plan to stick to just works wonders. Thank you, Sleepytime Sidekicks!
Carrie is amazing and the program we used truly changed our lives. Our son went from waking every 1-2 hours or needing to be held to sleep, to sleeping 10-12 hours straight at night without a feed. Even if he wakes up, he now has the skills to self sooth and go back to sleep. Carrie held our hand through the entire process and even gave us some extra time to work through a few bumps. The best money and time I ever spent for me and my family. We can’t recommend her and her work enough!
Before working with Carrie, our baby needed to be rocked or bounced to sleep for a minimum of 45 minutes for naps and night sleep. Due to this, it became easier to do contact naps for every single nap and then take turns doing the night routine. My husband and I were struggling to get anything done during the day due to the time it took to get our son down to sleep and then him needing to sleep on us for each nap. From the beginning, Carrie met us where we were and we trusted her. If we weren’t comfortable with something, we told her and we’d try something new. She was there every step of the way and we could text her during every nap and at bedtime for help. Now, almost 2 months from when we started, our son puts himself to sleep for all naps and bedtime, in his crib, and is able to put himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night! He’s also able to nap for an hour plus in his crib sometimes! We’ve mastered our nighttime routine and it’s because something to look forward to each day with our son instead of something that used to be extremely overwhelming and exhausting. We can’t thank Carrie enough!
