See what other past exhausted parents have to say about our sleep training:
“Our baby went from waking every hour and refusing to nap unless being held to sleeping through the night and taking great naps within two weeks. I never thought it was possible! Because of our work with Melissa, we were able to find a rhythm as a family once again and for that we are forever grateful. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
-Lauren Paley
“I reached out to gentle seed when my husband and I were absolutely exhausted because our 5m old was not sleeping independently at night time. My daughter was sleep trained essentially after one night and they provided us the tools to use when they were gone. All in all a 10/10 experience and I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with sleep training!!”
