CERTIFIED SLEEP & WELLBEING SPECIALISTS

Hello! I am Aby. I am a medical doctor, IBCLC lactation consultant, mother of a 9 year old girl and now I am also a certified baby led sleep and wellness specialist. Being a mother and working with other moms, I was able to see the relationship between breastfeeding, attachment, connection, nurturing, instinct and how all this influences sleep, but I lacked fundamentals, knowledge and tools to be able to work this with my patients. The Baby-Led Sleep approach has given me all that and much more, it allows me to empower mothers and families, as well as help them Read more...

Having been a teacher and working with young children for over ten years, I totally thought having only one baby to care for would be a breeze. HA! Then my little girl came along who said “you know what, I don’t want to fit into the boxes that society has created”. That was a journey on its own but I am so grateful it led me to the Baby-Led Sleep community and what a place to be! My hope is to challenge the current narrative around sleep and parenting by empowering new mamas with knowledge and support to trust their Read more...

Hey, I’m Aleni! I live in Buffalo, NY with my beautiful daughter Nora and lovely partner (for life) Dave. As a certified infant and toddler sleep specialist—and a mom myself—I know how overwhelming sleep struggles can be. Trust me, I’ve been through it all! As a first time mom, there was so much pressure to sleep train. That pressure was overwhelming, exhausting and draining. It took away from the moments I should have been enjoying with my daughter. I knew there had to be another way we could achieve sleep without using separation. That’s why I founded Rooted in Sleep, Read more...

I’m so fortunate to be doing this work because I feel so passionate about it. I didn’t think I would struggle so much in the early days of motherhood. I found infant sleep very confusing and the pressures from society and all the myths out there perpetuated the anxiety I was already experiencing as a new mom. I couldn’t believe the types of things moms were being encouraged to do to ‘train’ babies to sleep… don’t pick up your baby… don’t nurse your baby to sleep… follow the eat play sleep routine so as not to create bad habits. It Read more...

I experienced my pregnancy and Léana’s first year during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2018, I became a mom to my daughter. I had very unrealistic expectations of how an infant should sleep and behave. I didn’t know what to do. I looked everywhere for answers but I never looked in me and listened to my intuition. After stumbling upon information about attachment parenting and understanding normal infant sleep, I was able to slowly let go of control. Due to this, I truly believe that I have a strong connection and attachment with my daughter. My mission is to educate new moms as to what normal infant sleep is like, empower them to Read more...
