You're not alone
Chrissy Tiegen said it best: “Why is it so hard to put someone who is already sleepy to sleep?”
In fact, one in three families report struggling with their child’s sleep, and if baby ain’t sleeping, ain’t nobody sleeping. The average parent loses 44 days of sleep in the first year of their child’s life.
Forty. Four. Days.
Infants and children don’t sleep like adults, and the tricks we try to help put them to sleep can unintentionally lead to irritability and sleepless nights.
But with the right science & tools, small steps can help our kiddos learn to take giant sleeps — and keep the fam's lost sleep to a minimum.

Foundation courses
Our foundation courses demystify infant and child sleep by unpacking the science of sleep, empowering you to troubleshoot sleep problems and even prevent them!
These aren't sleep training courses — often, families find that with the right foundation, sleep training isn't necessary. But, we'll cover a variety of methods so you can choose what's right for your family.
All our courses are self-paced so you can learn on your own schedule (well, and baby's!). And because our missionis to make sleep education accessible to everyone, if price is a barrier please send us an email for sliding scale pricing.

"She helped me with all three of my kids...She set up specific plans for each child and helped me figure out how to work on them simultaneously...she taught me so much about sleep that I didn't learn from all the sleep books and advice I've gotten."

The Small Steps Story
After 4 months, my family and I were desperate. We’d tried everything: the blogs, the vlogs, and all the books. Our kiddo just wouldn’t sleep, and it seemed like nobody had any answers...until a Google search led to one small call.
An infant and child sleep consultant gave us our dreams back...and set me on a new mission, to help kids and parents everywhere get giant sleeps.
