Hi! My name is Aleni! I am a mama to my beautiful 2-year-old Nora. I am a Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist certified by the Baby-Led Sleep certification program. I came across Baby-Led Sleep on social media when my daughter was about 4 months old. She wasn’t sleeping through the night and the first thing our pediatrician said to us was to sleep train with the cry it out method. Stunned by her reaction I just nodded and agreed with her for the rest of the appointment. When we got home, we tried to sleep train for her nap and I couldn’t do it for more than 5 minutes. My heart and mama instincts were telling me “No! This doesn’t feel right. I don’t want to do this to her. I can’t have her cry herself to sleep.” Looking for help, answers, and support, I came across the Baby-Led Sleep approach. I felt so hopeful, supported, and empowered. I knew my mama instincts were right and I was making the best decision for my daughter to support her to sleep. I want to help families feel hopeful, supported, and empowered. I am here to tell you that you don’t have to sleep train to get your baby to sleep. I will support you throughout this journey of parenthood. I will teach you to look at baby sleep holistically and instinctually. I will help you feel empowered by making the choices that feel right for you and your family.
