About Me
Dana Martin
Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant
I previously worked in sales for years helping small businesses. I've always had a passion for helping others! Fast forward to when I became a mom. When my first son was born, I had no idea what I was doing as a first-time mom. When my son was a newborn, he had a lot of sleep struggles. I remember my husband and I taking turns walking around the house with him in the middle of the night for hours trying to get him to sleep. When he was 5 months old, he was still waking up every 2-3 hours and wouldn't go to sleep unless he was fed or rocked. As someone who loves my sleep, I knew I had to do something because I was so exhausted! When I went online to look up sleep training, I was completely overwhelmed with the information out there. I couldn’t believe all of the different sleep training techniques and all of the different things you could try and implement. I spent countless hours trying to research sleep and this is when I realized, I enjoyed learning about pediatric sleep!
When my second son was born, I felt like I knew more, but I also wanted to make sure that I started sleep training him earlier than my first son and to not create any bad habits in the beginning. When my son was 3 months old, I introduced age-appropriate wake windows, healthy sleep foundations, daily routines and a schedule. When he was around 4 months old, I sleep trained him and he caught on very fast.
As I started talking to other moms in the community, a lot of them would tell me about their sleep struggles and that they didn't know what to do. I started giving advice to different moms and realized that I enjoyed giving advice and trying to help these moms!
It wasn’t until I heard someone ask “does anyone know of a local sleep consultant?" That I suddenly thought, I could do that job!
I created Dana’s Little Sleepers LLC and it's been so amazing to see the difference that good, quality sleep brings in the families that I help!
