Child Sleep Consulting

"Having Yael's support with our daughter’s sleep has truly changed our lives! After two years of 'struggling' with our daughter's sleep (it has been a battle since she was born), and after talking to other consultants and trying various methods (none of which considered who our daughter was and her individual needs), we finally met Yael 🙏. She immediately understood our goal (to have our daughter sleep peacefully in her own crib, without making it a stress for either her or us). She provided support from start to finish (and even beyond, offering help when we needed to put the plan on 'pause' due to illness). Yael is a wonderful person with incredible patience, yet she gives you the confidence to stay consistent and keep doing what helps everyone sleep (even when we often felt like giving up from exhaustion). Now, we are all doing better, and I, especially as a mom, am finally starting to feel energized after so long without good sleep! I would recommend all parents speak with Yael, even just for some advice to see how she can help. I only wish we had met her sooner!"

WE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS SOONER!! This is my first review on Google, I believe. I can only confirm all the previous reviews—Yael is truly made for this and does it with all her heart. The investment (if you can even call it that, as the cost is minimal compared to the service and support received) was the best we've made! My partner was initially skeptical, but we saw results after just four nights. Our son was waking up as many as ten times a night and could only be soothed by breastfeeding. We would put him in our bed, but we didn't feel secure, and the lack of sleep was affecting our relationship. Naturally, our baby (7 months) is still young and doesn’t sleep through the night, but he now falls asleep with his dad, in his own crib, and we’re successfully separating breastfeeding from falling asleep. The wakings are very brief and quite manageable—it's like getting a full night’s sleep! We can never thank Yael (and those who recommended her to us) enough; she has truly changed our lives!!

"WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER! 10 months without sleep, countless night cries only soothed by breastfeeding, we had tried everything—books and methods that worked successfully with our other child didn't seem to work for him. We had even resorted to co-sleeping, but even there, he woke up every hour. I reached out to Yael on a friend's recommendation. Yael is truly made for this. Sweet, intuitive, and wise. I recommend the package that includes her WhatsApp consultation; it was like having her right here. The plan delivered surprising results in no time, and the messages exchanged over the two weeks helped refine the method, boosting my determination. Now Tiberio falls asleep on his own (!!!!!!!!!) and sleeps peacefully through the night in his crib without needing to breastfeed. Yael created a customized plan, also adjusting it to fit around my other child, who is two and a half. The changes in the schedule have even benefited the older sibling’s rest. Afternoon naps, which had become a battle won only after hours of exhausting negotiations and less-than-Montessori tactics, are now quick and easy. We have more time to play in the afternoon, and she falls asleep early in the evening. For 10 months, I hadn't slept, and bedtime was a source of anxiety, doubt, and urgency (and back pain). Now, I can cuddle him during the evening routine and lay him down on his crib peacefully and calmly. I will be forever grateful to Yael and my friend who gave me her contact. I recommend her to everyone—life-changing. Never have I spent money (so little, considering Yael’s daily presence) better. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Enrica"

"The best decision my husband and I made this year! Having a happy and well-rested baby truly changes your life! Oliva, who is 7 months old, had started waking up constantly at night, and both my husband and I were extremely tired, struggling to be functional during the day for work and to be fully present with Olivia. The whole situation had become a nightmare! Fortunately, we decided to turn to an expert, and I am very happy we found Hugs and Sleep! From the very first introductory call, Yael was incredibly kind and understanding of our situation, offering us the choice between various methods and helping us adopt the one that suited our needs and style best. Within a few days, we saw the first improvements, and soon Olivia began sleeping through the night and taking more consistent naps during the day. I am truly happy to have embarked on this journey and learned a method that I can continue to use independently. I want to sincerely thank Yael, who never left me alone for a moment and was always present throughout the process, promptly answering my questions and doubts! I highly recommend her to everyone!"
