How to Night Wean

Hey Mom, Hey Dad, I am happy you are here. You may be reading this because you’ve searched late at night on how to night wean your baby or maybe you aren’t there yet, but you just want to be prepared for when the time is right.


When is the right time to wean your baby of night feeds?

I say, whenever YOU are ready, AND you have the green light from your pediatrician. There will be some trackers they will look at like, weight curve and number of wet diapers and bowel movements throughout the day.

Next time you visit the ped and are curious about how to wean night feedings, just ask. Ask at your next appointment or send them a quick message or email in your child’s chart.


When to wean night feeds

There are different thresholds of what is the right amount of ounces in 24 hours. Typically, with my clients, I like to at least see 24 ounces of formula or breastmilk during the day. This will include about 4 daytime feedings plus the bedtime routine feed for a total of five daytime feedings.

Again, ALWAYS check with your child’s pediatrician before night weaning.


How to night wean a bottle fed baby

First, always start with an independent bedtime routine. Not sure that that looks like? Feed first in the bedtime routine, keeping baby awake for the full feed. Then, go through the rest of the bedtime routine steps like hygiene routine and ritual like book and a song. Lay baby down in bed wide awake.  Allowing your baby to have full ownership of their falling asleep process will greatly reduce their night wakings and need for a feed/sleep association. Many times, babies who are eating overnight are not eating anything substantial. It’s more the act of bottle in mouth as the avenue to more sleep. Not the calories themselves. Once an independent sleep routine is established at night, give it about 7 days to see where your little one is landing with the timing of the feed. Is it half-way through the night? Great! Hold them to their ‘personal best’. Any wakes outside of the feed time will be managed with the same method (or even more hands-off) as you did at bedtime. You’ll give them at least 10 minutes before entering the room, then assess that they are physically well before implementing a sleep training strategy until they are back asleep in their crib.

IF it’s feed time, then you will go to them immediately upon any elevated crying, offer the feed, watch for long productive swallows to stop, then place baby back down in bed, ideally awake. This is the first stage to night weaning.


Reducing ounces overnight for a bottle fed baby

If you are ready to drop those middle of the night ounces altogether, you gradually reduce ounces down to 4 or less ounces total, and then once you are there, you would use a sleep training method to help baby back to sleep without eating. Once down to 4 ounces or less, a cold turkey approach can be used. Keep in mind, if you have an independent sleeper at bedtime, these overnight wakes will go smoother. Check in on your baby periodically to help them soothe if they are upset. You can anticipate a few rough nights as baby gets themselves back to sleep without eating, but those calories should transfer to daytime and the feeding is now replaced with restorative sleep. Once night weaned, don't look back!


Are night weaning and sleep training the same thing?

Nope, they aren’t. Sleep training and night weaning aren’t mutually exclusive. Which means, they can both exist. Sleep training is the path you take to independent sleep, such as going down for bedtime wide awake without feeding or rocking. When independent sleep is established, you will likely see longer stretches of sleep for your baby, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t wake to be fed. Sometimes, babies will naturally wean themselves. Cool right? They just start connecting all their sleep cycles and stop signaling during any wakings! But, wait. As a sleep consultant, I am here to tell you that that is not the majority of babies. MOST babies will need an active weaning approach from their parents. Going that route is okay too.


Does night weaning mean better sleep?

Most of the time, yes. In my experience as a sleep coach, when there are night feeds present, there are night wakings still present, as well. Babies cannot tell time, nor does their digestive system know that it is time to rest. They may have other wakeups they struggle with due to a night feed being present.


What if your child takes a SIGNIFICANT amount of calories/ounces overnight?

This is really stressful. It’s almost as if their digestion is reversed. What happens throughout the day has an important impact on nights. Start following an EAT/Wake/Sleep pattern, EWS. There are many benefits to eating directly after baby wakes, instead of right before baby sleeps. For one, it takes an incredible amount of energy to focus on the task of eating. If baby is eating near their next nap time and at the end of their wake period, their energy stores are super depleted. Baby will become drowsy and/or fall asleep half way through the bottle or breast and miss out on those calories they could have eaten if they were fully awake. The cycle with that will continue to repeat itself, and it will also sabotage your baby’s ability to take a long, restorative daytime nap. This process will allow your baby to then eat better during the day and less at night. If you have to cut ounces down overnight deliberately, that will help as well.


How to night wean a breastfed baby

Jump into independent put down at bedtime first. Offer last nursing session about 30-45 minutes before your baby’s wake window is ending, and KEEP THEM AWAKE, then move to the next part of their bedtime routine, such as bath and a book. When night wakings are happening for feed time, take baby out of the crib and sit in an upright chair with a red light night light on. Allow baby to actively eat big, consistent swallows, then when those slow, unlatch baby who is ideally awake and place them back in bed. When you are actively weaning, you will have baby nurse for less and less minutes over the course of about a week. If after a week, they are still waking and signaling for a quick latch, you can feel confident to choose a sleep training method that fits your family dynamic.


How to wean a dream feed?

I am not a fan of the dream feed. We know that our BEST sleep is the first half of the night, so by disrupting that sleep for your baby, it may not be as effective as you think. Instead, try to split your baby’s night in half and then offer the middle of the night feed. This will make it much easier for them to handle those longer stretches when you are ready to fully wean. If you require a full night’s rest, 6-8 hours or more. Think about taking turns with your partner when it comes to feeding overnight.


Is night weaning your baby too overwhelming?

Try not to stress. There are consultants like me here to help. I work one on one with families to sleep train, night wean, nap train and overall help you feel LESS stressed about your child’s sleep. In return, your family becomes more rested overall.

Lindsay is kind, knowledgeable & truly saved our sanity more than once. How can you pour from an empty cup or a parent who never sleeps I can answer that you can’t and then if your child isn’t sleeping well either it’s a double edge sword.My kids are champion sleepers because I listened and learned. I can’t begin to show how much gratitude I have. Do yourself a favor BOOK NOW!
Carolin Lucio
Working with Stellina was great!For a while, we were struggling with hourly night wakings and short naps during the day. Stellina created a schedule and personalized sleep training plan based on our preferences and was always there to answer questions and provide encouragement during the two week program. After just a couple of days of working with Stellina, we had both babies on the same schedule, night wakings decreased drastically (we chose to keep one night feeding), and naps got longer.Our whole family feels so much more rested and we have more energy for spending quality time with our kids! We are so happy we found Stellina and cannot recommend her enough!!
Alicia Rakich
Lindsay changed our lives! Our 5 month old was never a great sleeper, waking up 3-4 times a night, and then when the 4 month sleep regression hit he started waking up 7-8 times a night and we were beyond sleep deprived. After working with Lindsay he is now sleeping through the night with only 1 night feed (our preference) when previously I was feeding him 3-4 times a night to help him get back to sleep. I feel like a new version of myself and can confidently say that I am a better mother now because of this.
Katie French
We can sleep again!! Our 7 month old was a horrible sleeper! Before working with Lindsay, he had to be rocked to sleep for naps and bedtime, and would only sleep in 30-50 minute increments. He ended up co-sleeping with us at night (in a side-sleeper cot) just so that any of us could sleep. We had tried a different sleep training method at 5 months and utterly failed, so we were a little skeptical about the process. Our pediatrician recommended Lindsay and I'm so glad that we listened! Lindsay was able to make a customized schedule and sleep plan for our boy and he fell asleep in 20 minutes on night one and slept all night in his crib! She was available to support us and answer questions throughout the process, and even adjusted his schedule a bit when we were struggling with naps. After 2 weeks of working with Lindsay, he is falling asleep independently with no tears for naps and bedtime! Highly recommend!

My husband and I have twins who by 8-months were not sleeping through the night, waking up 2-4 times each and taking CRAP naps 22-32 mins on the dot. After months of us trying to sleep train them based on what we did with our first son, we were at a loss. My husband came across Lindsay's website through a twins Reddit page. We decided to give it a try and within the first 4 days we say improvements. After the full 2-weeks with Lindsay guiding us and us trusting her process and methods we had both boys sleeping through the night and taking 1.5 hour naps twice a day! It was a true miracle. We did this right before the holidays and the true test came when we traveled. They were in pack-n-plays and in new environments and they still successfully slept at grandma and grandpas. We are forever grateful to Lindsay in supporting us and figuring out what our boys needed to build the skills to self soothe and get the whole family sleep again. It truly has made us better parents to all three of our kids now that we are getting sleep and so are they. I highly recommend Lindsay. She is supportive, kind, and shows empathy for how hard the process can be, but trusting that it will work. Thanks Lindsay!!I

I will admit I was very apprehensive about using a sleep coach at first, mostly because I didn’t think ANYTHING would work for my kids, because we had tried EVERYTHING. Nearly every night before implementing the personalized sleep plan, our 3 year old and 5 month old would both end up in bed with us by morning. We were waking up nearly every hour all night long. We were exhausted, frustrated, and hopeless. I dreaded nighttime and felt like a horrible parent. Within 3 nights of working with Stellina, the 3 year old was sleeping all night in his own bed, which is truly nothing short of a miracle. The baby wakes up once a night to eat (doing a night feeding is our personal preference). Every step for every night of the 2 week program was clearly and carefully outlined and explained to us. Stellina was always understanding and provided plenty of reassurance, never once being judgmental. She took into account what we were comfortable with and what our goals were. She was easy to get ahold of and was always prompt to respond to us. This has been a life changing experience for us and we could not be happier. I would recommend this program to any parent!
Kristina Karalic
I had a sleep strategy call with Stellina to help adjust my baby’s sleep schedule, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Within just three days, we started seeing real improvements, and by day 10, we had completely reached our goal. Stellina’s advice was clear, practical, and so easy to follow, making the process feel manageable and stress-free.Thanks to her expertise, my baby is now on a consistent schedule, and our family is feeling so much more rested. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for support with their little one’s sleep. She truly made a difference for us!
Suri Roth-Katz
Working with Lindsay was a wonderful experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. As first time parents to twins we had NO clue how to get them to sleep through the night or get them on the same schedules. We were desperate for help and I am so grateful we found Lindsay. She held our hand through the whole experience and I could tell by the second day it was working. Over two months later and they still sleep through the night and reliably nap on the same schedule. Our whole lives have improved since we’ve gotten everyone more sleep. Thank you!
Alicia Wimmer Megrath
Baby sleep is so counterintuitive and Lindsay provided my husband and I a fantastic education on how to navigate and support our twins' sleep. We were able to apply most of what we learned to our 2 year old son as well. We also purchased the retainer support and it brought so much peace of mind knowing we had that extra support if needed. Without question, the whole family sleeps better because of Lindsay's coaching.
Meghan Pollard
Stellina has been a godsend to our family. Our twins went from one waking every 2 hours after 11pm to now both twins are sleeping through the night! They also were both taking 20-30 minute naps which was so hard to manage with a toddler. Now they nap 1+ hours. Mama and babies are all getting the sleep we need plus now I can spend 1-on-1 time with my toddler while my boys are napping. This experience has been incredible! Can’t recommend Stellina enough!
Christina Carretta
Best decision we’ve ever made. Everyone sleeping makes a happy and healthy family.
Becky Smith
Working with Lindsay was one of the best decisions we’ve made since our twins were born. We went from hourly wakes, co-sleeping and nursing to sleep, to finally napping and sleeping through the night. We never would have been able to do it without her support. We even reached back out for help with the 3 to 2 nap transition & she will probably hear from us again! Highly recommend.
Francesco Ziniti
Tweet Dreamzz was worth every penny! Our son went from co-sleeping with us to sleeping thru the night on his own.
Karissa Everett
Lindsay is a LIFE SAVER! I was reluctant to do sleep training and even when I started I was concerned it wouldn’t work but she encouraged me every step of the way. She was kind and thoughtful but also consistent and had a wealth of knowledge to share during this journey. She helped me get all four of my kids back on track for sleeping, including my twins! I would do it again in a heart beat.
Amy Hutchinson
Stellina did a great job of helping me build a solid foundation for my twins to sleep, and it is helping me to extend their naps past 2.5 yrs old. Many people told me to give up the nap but I thought it was important and so did Stellina so we worked through it and my twins and I are better off for it. They did not nap for 2 months and now are napping again regularly.
Mollie
Stellina gave us the confidence and amazing information to sleep train our 4 month old twins. Before sleep training, we had to rock the twins to sleep, dealing with middle of the night wakings, and naps were so inconsistent and short. Within a couple days the twins were falling asleep independently with little to no crying, taking consistent naps and sleeping 12 hours through the night. Thank you so much Stellina!
Leandra D'Eramo
Lindsay was beyond incredible with her services. From the very beginning, Lindsay was super helpful and always available when needed, regularly providing encouragement, support, and help along the way. The sleep plan she created was so helpful, thorough, and helped us feel confident in this journey. Sleep has been an issue for a year+ and we are very grateful to have found Lindsay and have no doubt she has set up up for long term success with our son. We will recommend Lindsay to anyone and everyone. Thank you again, Lindsay!
Anna Bannigan
Lindsay was so great to work with! The amount of change we saw in our toddler over the 2 week span was amazing. He is still sleeping great and we are in such a better place now.
Elizabeth Corsini
The absolute best investment we made since our twins were born! My husband and I can’t give Lindsay enough praise. She made the sleep training process easy, painless and so so effective. Our twins went from barely napping and waking up every two hours to sleeping through the night. Do not give it another thought. Would recommend Lindsay to anyone.
mira sarris
I want to thank Stellina so much for all her help and guidance those past 2 weeks. After months of struggle and sleep deprivation we are all finally sleeping better! I'm amazed how much has changed in just 14 days. We used to rock/ cuddle/ pat/ and feed my twins to sleep at every nap, at bedtime and through any wakeups! Now my twins sleep through the night, independently, and in the same room! Thank you for helping us get the rest we needed.
Taylor Anne Peele
I don't know where we would be without Lindsay! She changed our whole parenthood world over here. When we started working with Lindsay, our sleep situation with our infant twins was truly out of control - feeding to sleep, night feeds throughout, co-sleeping out of desperation, no real naps and definitely no schedule. We were seriously struggling! Now, we have a solid schedule, the babies get real naps!, and most importantly - they are getting good sleep at night and so are we. I had no idea how critical a consultant would be for us, but I am certain we wouldn't have figured it all out without Lindsay. She was super responsive and supportive and came up with a detailed yet manageable schedule for us to follow. Moreover, she helped us make a switch in the schedule after a week when it seemed like something was off. She is so knowledgeable and gave us the confidence we needed to really stick with it all. We will be forever grateful!
Cara Donovan Mitchell
So worth the investment after many months of severe, nightly sleep deprivation. We were immediately able to get our twins on a schedule during the day, and they were sleeping through the night within a couple of nights. It was helpful to have someone coach us through the process whenever we had questions or needed reassurance. After many months of trying to figure it out on our own by googling our questions, we finally decided we needed help. As a mom of twins and a toddler with very little bandwidth, sometimes it's nice to have someone make the plan for you!
Erik Swenson
Lindsay has given our family the gift of sleep! As first time parents to twins who were not good sleepers, day or night, we knew we needed to do something. She took a big picture look at our day and formulated an age appropriate schedule for them that encompassed feeds and sleeps. At first, we thought no way is this going to work. Within 24 hours, our lives changed. With some hand holding from Lindsay, and a lot of consistency on our part, our twins are now great sleepers. We can confidently put them to bed and know that the whole family will get to sleep tonight. We cannot recommend her enough!
Salman Khanani
Lindsay was an absolute pleasure to work with. Our twin boys were sleep trained since they were 6 months old but we hit a speed bump with early morning wake ups after they turned 1 (like 5am ready to start the day wake ups)! Lindsay helped adjust our twins schedule and thankfully, we have said our goodbyes to the 5am wake ups and are enjoying waking up after 6:30am. Highly recommend!
Liza Greenspan
My husband and I are so beyond grateful to have worked with Lindsay over the past two weeks. Before coming to Lindsay, we had transitioned our 2 years and 10 month old twin boys to toddler beds. Our boys went from being the best sleepers in cribs to taking an hour to fall asleep with us being in the room, multiple night wakings, and early morning wake ups. Lindsay created a personalized sleep plan for our boys and shortly after implementing the plan, our boys were going to bed on their own and sleeping through the night. Lindsay guided us with compassion, empathy, and patience and was available at any point to support us through this process. We would 1000% recommend Lindsay over and over again!
Otilia Alexandr
We have 21 month old twins and we started working with Lindsay during the challenging 2 to 1 nap transition time. We were struggling for a while with this and I didn’t know how to do it. I was concerned they wouldn’t be able to take in more wake time and kept running in a closed loop.Lindsay gave me confidence to extend the 1st wake window and to go cold turkey with the bottle at bedtime, as it wasn’t doi g ny boys any good. She insisted to stick to her schedule and it paid off. The first night was great, the boys slept through the night and woke up later than usual the next morning.We also took our first plane trip with the boys while we were on the program and Lindsay provided support throughout that as well, she was available to contact during working hours which was so useful. I did a lot of research to find the right person but I can say honestly I couldn’t have found a better person to help us through this transition.Thank you, Lindsay!

I hope this review reaches all the mamas of babies who are severely horrible sleepers- who are convinced sleep training won’t work on their baby or toddler, because their baby fights sleep and is headstrong and determined. My toddler is 15 months old, and was waking every single hour. Sometimes more. I was a shell of a human being with sleep deprivation. I knew I had to do something, but I had tried what I thought was “sleep training” with my son when he was about 8 months old. I googled a chart that told me how often to go in and soothe him. I gave it a try, and It was a disaster, he screamed and screamed until he vomited. It was traumatizing for us both.I am pregnant with my second baby and to say I was absolutely exhausted is an understatement. I knew I had to do something before this baby was born, so I figured it was worth a shot to hire a professional sleep consultant, and Lindsay came highly recommended by a good friend of mine. I was extremely skeptical, because my toddler is intense, can fight sleep like no other and very, very determined. I don’t have a chill, go-with-the-flow kind of toddler.Lindsay helped me recognize some of the changes we needed to make, like getting his nutrition and calories up during the day, and less at night. She walked me through exactly how we would handle each situation. The first night was a little hard, but went better than anticipated. After about a week, my headstrong toddler slept through the night for the first time ever. And he is now consistently sleeping through the night for 11-12 hours each night.I was so worried about traumatizing my child, and he honestly never had to cry for more than 10 minutes. He learned to self soothe, and he now actually enjoys sleep. He says “night night” when it’s getting close to bed time. It’s unbelievable, and has been absolutely life changing.Everyone in my home is happier- and getting sleep. I feel like my postpartum experience with my second baby is going to be worlds better now that my toddler is sleeping through the night.Stick to the schedule and believe in it. This works for almost every baby, even the determined ones! It is worth every penny- you can’t put a price on sleep! Thank you Lindsay for all of your support and guidance!
Taylor Melgar
Lindsay fixed our 10month old's sleep issues quickly and gently. We were worried about his sleep after multiple colds leading to sleep regression period. He would require being fed to sleep 3-4 times a night, with 1+ hour night wakes. Lindsay created a custom, detailed plan with gentle and structured check-ins. We saw improvements after the first night. Lindsay's approach gave us the tools and confidence we needed to know when to intervene, and when to let the baby figure it out. Communication was frequent and thorough, and he's been happily sleeping through the night for a month! Would happily recommend her to anyone!
Sabrina Sawicki
Stellina has been nothing short of amazing! I would spend more time rocking my baby back to sleep than my baby actually sleeping! being back at work I had two options: Quit work due to exhaustion of being up every 2 hours or invest in a sleep trainer. And wow am I’m so happy I heard about Tweet Dreamzz on the Bad Wives Club podcast because it literally saved me my sanity! It’s taken 6+ months to get a more than 2.5 hours of sleep all because of Stellina’s help! She is so knowledgeable and was right there with us every step of the way cheering us on. Best investment ever - we can’t say enough good things about this experience! Sleep training sounds so scary until your family is finally SLEEPING and getting GOOD QUALITY SLEEP! Worth it!
Rana Ayoub
As overwhelmed parents of twins, we turned to Stellina for help, and it was the best decision we ever made.Right from the start, she impressed us with her caring approach and deep understanding of our situation.She crafted a customized sleep plan for our twins, addressing every aspect of their sleep routine (and day routine).What stood out was her ongoing support- she was there for us every step of the way, answering our questions and cheering us on.Thanks to her expertise, our twins now sleep through the night, giving us much-needed rest before going back to work and have an organized schedule for the day.If you're struggling with twin sleep / routine don't hesitate to reach out to Stellina !!THANK YOU 🥰
Taylor Engle
I don’t even know where to start!! Stellina is AMAZING! My 4 month old started sleeping through the night without feeds after just a few days of the training! It is the best money we have ever spent. If you aren’t getting the sleep you need, then I highly recommend hiring one of these amazing ladies! Would do it all over again! 100 percent! Thank you Stellina so so much!
Nicole Nichols
Our 8 month old struggled with sleep once we transitioned her to the crib at 6 months old. She was getting up multiple times a night and was unable to get herself back to sleep on her own. My husband and I were getting up multiple times a night and each week got worse and worse. She was also waking for night feedings way more often. We did a free consultation with Stellina and made the decision to move forward. It was the BEST decision we ever made. The first night she slept through the night and continued to the sleep through the night. She is napping consistently and is falling asleep independently! She is also eating awesome too and hasn’t woken up for any night feedings. Stellina was great to work with, she answered all of our questions and provided support when we needed it. We’re all sleeping again!
Brandon Scholten
Lindsay is awesome! She helped us with getting out 3 year old to fall back asleep on his own after years of getting woken up virtually every night by him. Thanks for all your help!
Heidi Anderson
Before meeting with Stellina my 9 month old took sporadic naps throught the day and would wake every 1-3 hours at night and I would nurse her back to sleep. In the 2 week period that we worked with Stellina we got my daughter on a consistent 2x/day nap schedule and a 7pm bedtime with only occasional wakes here and there in which she would usually soothe herself back to sleep after a few minutes. I cant believe the progress we made in such a short period of time and I am so extremely grateful for Stellinas help. She checked in every single day and really gave me the “hand holding” that I needed to stay consistent. Thank you so much, Stellina, from our whole family!!

I'll try to make this brief...but honestly Lindsay deserves all the lengthy praise there is! If you don't read any further, know that Lindsay has a GENTLE, conscious, PERSONALIZED approach to sleep training and will 100% get you results you want all while providing continous 1:1 support through the journey.Backstory: Our 2.5 year old son would NOT go to sleep unless we rocked him for at least an hour, only to wake as soon as laid him in his crib. As that's all he's known his whole life I don't blame him...but we just had another baby and needed some help ensuring the whole family's sleep needs were properly met.Our old bedtime routine was taking a toll on our son's sleep as well as stressing my husband and I out. We tried several DIY methods of sleep training on our own, but with ZERO results. I was very hesitant to go this route as I didn't want to give my son anxiety or separation fears, and was NOT going to do any "cry it out" type training, and honestly didn't want to waste money, thinking it would be impossible to get our toddler to fall asleep independently.On DAY 1 my son was already on board and did amazing! It was like a switch flipped, and all we had to do was make a few small adjuatments for it to happen. I was in total shock! We did have a couple hiccups along the way, but Lindsay took the time to discuss alternatives with us throughly and thoughtfully.I'm happy to say that we have a toddler who no longer resists going to sleep unless rocked, sleeps through the night, and welcomes his bedtime routine with a smile every night now.If you're on the fence, GO FOR IT, you won't be disappointed.

We were almost 18 months in with 'maybe' a handful of full nights sleep. Twins are hard, twins that don't sleep are really hard! After a week of meltdowns on my part crying to my husband .."I can't do this anymore" I remembered seeing a post in a twin group for a twin mom that was a sleep consultant. I was desperate... at the end of my rope. I needed someone who understood what I was going through. I had tried it all.... and my sanity was gone.Lindsay listened to me blabber about the past 18 months of zero sleep and quickly got back to me with a plan! I was in disbelief that it would work. But IT WORKED!!! Her plan for us worked! Night one was a success. Lindsay was quick to respond when we had bumps along the road of our sleep training and provided this Momma the comfort I needed to press forward and not revert to old habits.Sometimes we need to get out of our own head and let someone tell us what to do. Let someone help! I am so grateful for the past few weeks of sleep. Thank you Lindsay!!
Lindsay Bernstein
I was struggling with my 4 month old twins and their sleeping habits and needed help. I found Tweet Dreamzz online and read about their expertise with sleep training twins and decided to try it out, and I'm so glad I did! After two weeks, I can now put both girls to bed without rocking or having a pacifier and they will be asleep within 5 minutes. And they are sleeping through the night!!!! If you are thinking about sleep training and want a qualified individual who will lay out an exact plan and schedule for you, please contact Stellina! She was wonderful to work with and helped me gain my sanity and evenings back!
Anne Zemenick
Wow! This was the best money I ever spent after not sleeping for a year and a half. Lindsay came up with a comprehensive sleep plan and walked me through it each step of the way. Additionally, she was readily available to answer my questions and concerns. My toddler (and now me) are sleeping through the night for the first time in 18 months. Lindsay is very thorough and informative.

I am SO incredibly happy that we decided to work with Stellina and sleep train our son. I had tried unsuccessfully on my own to do so many times - and by 7 months old I was ready for some support. It was amazing to have Stellina's guidance throughout the entire sleep training process. Within days my son was already sleeping better and he now takes great naps and sleeps through the night. I feel like our life has balance again and we are all well rested. Stellina is so knowledgeable and professional and I cannot recommend her enough! : )
Lauren Picariello
I learned about Tweet Dreamzz and Stellina specifically from the Bad Wives Club Podcast. When I first heard her on the podcast, my son was 2 months old and sleeping great. Fast forward two more months and my husband and I had reached our limit with our four-month-old's poor sleep. Before working with Stellina he would only contact nap and would wake every 45 minutes throughout the night needing to be rocked back to sleep. After our initial call with Stellina I knew things were going to change. She asked so many questions about our son and what we were comfortable with regarding sleep training, as well as our goals for the process. She developed a personalized and incredibly detailed plan which she helped us to implement. Stellina was so responsive to my (many) questions and really made sure that we were comfortable with the whole process. This is truly an individualized sleep training program because Stellina worked with us throughout the two weeks to tweak the plan for what would work best. I cannot recommend Tweet Dreamzz enough and will absolutely be working with them again should I need future sleep help!
Alyson McDonnell
Absolutely the best ! My babies sleep is perfect, her schedule is on point now and I could not be more happy !! Stellina was the BEST. She was SO helpful and responsive at all times. I will be using them for all my babies to come !
Amy Toegemann
I highly recommend working with Tweet Dreamzz! As a first time parent it was amazing to have the support of Lindsay as we navigated our sleep challenges! We were transitioning to daycare & really struggling with daytime naps. We were successfully able to move our son from 4 to 3 naps & adjust his wake windows to get longer naps & night time sleep! Thank you Lindsay!
Cashlin Pangburn
I was so hesitant to go through with sleep training my 10 month twins but as a mom of 4 I was desperate for some sleep and consistency. I can honestly say this was the best decision I have ever made and I’m so glad I went through with it. Stellina was there for me every step of the way and we are a happier family thanks to her :)

Tweet Dreamzz was a lifesaver!! We have twins and started looking into sleep consultancy at around 4 months. We decided to hold off and by 6 months were exhausted of the babies (and us) not sleeping. Prior to starting the program, the babies had no daily routine, and were waking up about 6-7 times a night. After completing 2 weeks, the babies are sleeping through the night, their moods have improved during the day significantly, and my husband and I are feeling more present and lively throughout the day! This program made us feel at ease because of the focus it helps with twins. All other programs seemed to dismiss the challenge of getting multiples down for sleep. Lindsay was absolutely amazing, always answered our questions almost immediately, and we couldn’t reccomend her and this program more!

Where do I even begin?! The best way to describe our experience with Lindsay is absolutely, LIFE CHANGING! I went from rocking my twins to sleep at the same time every night, dealing with multiple night wakings, and little sleep to them sleeping 11 1/2 hours after one night of sleep training! Lindsay is so easy to work with and very encouraging throughout the process! If you are toying with the idea of hiring a sleep consultant/Tweet Dreamzz, just do it! I PROMISE YOU it is 100% worth!

Hiring Lindsay was the best decision I ever made for my sanity! I have 10 month old twins and I hadn’t slept for more than 2 hours in a very very long time. My daughter was the exact opposite of a good sleeper, she would probably wake up between 7-12 times at night and would only sleep if I rocked her while standing. I’m not lying when I tell you that Lindsay managed to get her to put her self to sleep AND sleep through the night (and naps) in less than 3 days! She also adjusted our schedule so that my son stopped his 5AM waking. Honestly best money I’ve spent in a loooong time. If you’re struggling with your little ones don’t think twice and book your call!

Cannot recommend Tweet Dreamzz enough.Full transparency, we were skeptical that any program would work for our one year old. He’s such an amazing little boy, with the exception of sleeping. For context, it would take my wife or I rocking him to sleep, navigating the minefield of transferring to the crib, then bracing for at least two wake-ups that required a visit every night.. we tried everything, and finally decided to give this paid option a go. Our only regret is that we waited so long!We were fortunate enough to work with Stella, who was knowledgeable, patient, attentive, and reassuring during the entire two weeks we worked with her. Using her recommended program, we started seeing results in about three days, and at the full two weeks our son has pulled a complete 180.TLDR; we can now put our son down awake in his crib and he puts himself to sleep in about a minute, and stays asleep the entire night- we could not do this before, and cannot recommend Tweet Dreamzz enough. If our story sounds like yours and you need some help, then stop overthinking it and sign up for their service.

I am not one for reviews but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share how amazing it has been working with Stellina and Tweet Dreamzz. We came to Stellina after 8 months of difficult sleep. We started off with an intro phone call and then once we decided to move forward we started working together within two days. Stellina created a personalized plan for my family. One thing I was nervous about was tailoring a routine around my son’s daycare schedule. But we talked about every little detail of his day and she created a plan specific to him. Our goals for him before starting included a full 11-12 hour night rest, weaning off night feeds, and independent sleep skills. He not only achieved every single goal within the two weeks working together, he was doing it within 3 days of implementing this plan! We were consistent and that was the most important part. My family will forever be grateful for Stellina and the guidance she provided to our family. My baby boy is now sleeping a full 12 hours at night from 630pm to 630am, no longer requiring a night feed, and puts himself to sleep for ALL naps and bedtime. He is a happier baby in the morning and you can tell how much his energy has changed. He feels so rested and recharged. I am so thankful and couldn’t recommend working with Stellina anymore!

I worked with Stellina for my 7 month old twin girls and can honestly tell you that she changed ALL of our lives. After waking 8-12 times on average per night, the girls started sleeping through the night after 1 night on Stellina's program. She does an excellent job at taking a holistic view of your lifestyle and goals and gives you a custom program that works for you. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. HIGHLY recommend.
