If any of this sound familiar, you're in the right place:
You've tried everything, but ...
-
Your baby wakes every 1–2 hours overnight
-
Long night wakings (especially 1–5am)
-
False starts shortly after bedtime
-
30–45 minute naps that won’t extend
-
Feeding, rocking, or holding needed to fall asleep again
-
You’ve “tried everything” and nothing sticks
Here's the truth"
Most sleep issues aren’t random, and they’re not your fault. They’re usually caused by a few fixable things: timing, sleep associations, or daytime sleep quietly sabotaging nights.
What you'll get in 15 minutes:
-
A clear explanation of why your baby is waking
-
Identification of the #1 issue driving the problem
-
One actionable change you can start immediately
-
Clarity on what support would look like if you want it
-
No guilt. No judgment. No pressure to buy.
-
Just honest guidance so you can stop guessing.
How to fix your baby's sleep?
Sleep improves fast when the method actually fits your baby, and most methods online simply don’t
Sleep isn’t one-size-fits-all.
It’s highly individual, that’s why your baby needs a plan built for them, for their own mix of biology, temperament, development, feeding needs, and environment. As a newborn sleep consultant, my job is to take all of that into account so you’re not guessing or trying to force a method that was never designed for your baby.
A Custom Plan for your baby
You need a plan that matches your child and provides you clear guidance so you are confident applying it at home.
With a custom plan you and your baby will finally get longer sleep stretches, calmer nights, smoother days, and far less overwhelm for everyone.
A Gentle, Structured Approach to Better Sleep
I don't believe in leaving babies to cry alone for long stretches. I work with your baby’s age, temperament, and feeding needs to create a plan you can actually follow, especially in the middle of the night.
Support is responsive, realistic, and built around consistency, not extremes.
How I Help Your Baby Sleep
1) Sleep Snapshot
I provide a quick, personalized review of your child's sleep so you know what's driving the problem and what to change first.
2) Full Assessment & Root-Cause Breakdown
Once I know the root problem, I build a full clear, custom plan for your child. It's built for your baby's temperament, development, and feeding needs - plus support while you implement. Easy to follow, gentle to apply, and aligned with their development, so independent sleep becomes natural, not forced.
3) Ongoing Support
Babies change fast. That’s why you can reach me by call, text, or email when something shifts or feels confusing. We adjust things in real time and keep progress steady so you're not doing this alone.
Most families notice early progress in the first week with consistency, with stronger change in 1–2 weeks.
Hi, I'm Nefertia (Neffie) Jones.
A medically trained Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula, and Pediatric Sleep Consultant in Chicago with a background in child development, neuroscience, and exercise science.
I identify the real root causes behind your baby’s sleep struggles, look at the whole baby (biology, feeding, temperament, environment, development).
Parents often tell me they notice:
-
Easier bedtime within days
-
Fewer and shorter night wakings

More predictable naps
-
Feeling confident instead of second-guessing
(Individual results vary, but clarity comes fast.)
FAQ
Do you use cry-it-out or anything I might be uncomfortable with?
No. I use a gentle and responsive approach, and I would never do anything that goes against your comfort level.
Will this work if my baby only sleeps when being held, rocked, or fed?
That's normal, I will help guide you to make your baby sleep independently.
How long does it take to see results?
Every baby is different, but many families start seeing progress within a few days when the plan is followed consistently.
