Zero Crying Sleep Solutions for Infants and Toddlers
Support your baby’s natural biological rhythms. Utilizing the rigorously researched NDC approach to infant and toddler sleep, I help you work with your baby’s biology, not against it. The NDC program is the evidenced-based alternative to sleep training. This approach was developed by Pamela Douglas, M.D., IBCLC and shown to be effective in a variety of university studies.
We work together on resetting your little one’s sleep patterns, so that nights get easier and more manageable. We look at your child’s day time activity and maximize sensory input. I share with you the research based concept of sleep pressure and circadian rhythms, which are essential for healthy sleep.
I focus on nurturing the emotional bond you have developed with your baby and protecting your baby’s secure attachment, which is vital throughout childhood and beyond.

Testimonials
Sabrina M.
I want to really thank you. I’ve really tapped into my motherly intuition the past month especially and caring for Z based on what feels right and with the mindset that the more affection and comfort I can give him the better. Instead of trying to stick to these silly rules people have these days about feeding and napping which I feel results in not tending to a baby’s needs. A few things you’ve said has given me permission to do what feels right for him and really spoil him with love and I see how content (unless overly tired or gassy) he is and how he leans into me and L for comfort.

Working with Danielle has been wonderful! As a new mom, I was spending hours doing research trying to find how to best help my baby sleep because I didn’t want to sleep train. I was incredibly thankful to find someone who collaborated with me to meet my daughter’s unique sleep needs instead of pushing me to do something I didn’t want to do. Danielle’s support and expertise has been invaluable to help me address changes in both sleep and breastfeeding.

It was my greatest desire to breastfeed my daughter, but from day one it was very challenging. My daughter was not great at nursing and weight gain was a tremendous struggle that continued for months. Danielle worked with us faithfully over those weeks and months. Her expertise, kindness, and understanding were a tremendous blessing to our family. My daughter is now nine months old. We are still nursing, and there is no doubt that we would not have made it this far without Danielle's help.

This is my second baby, but my first time working with Danielle. I had a huge desire to breast feed my first born but I didn’t have the right resources to help me. The second time around, my main resource was Danielle … for which I am very grateful. My breast feeding journey this time around has been completely different (in a good way :)), all thanks to Danielle. She is supportive, understanding and has a wealth of knowledge and experience!!

Dr. Danielle! Thank you so much for the course, it has been a GAME CHANGER. Milk bleb is completely gone and baby has been latching on SO well with the gestalt hold. Thank you again!
