It always seems like poor sleep is just expected when you have a new baby. Between recovery after childbirth, a newborn adjusting to life outside the womb, and a shift in your household routine, the odds can feel stacked against you. But with the right tools, you can help your baby learn healthy sleep habits that will let them – and you – get the rest they so desperately need. Southern Sleep Consulting is an incredible resource for new parents anticipating or struggling with poor sleep. Keep reading to learn more!
Southern Sleep Consulting owner and founder Lesley knows firsthand the importance of good sleep for parents and kids. As a former elementary student, she saw firsthand how a lack of sleep affected her students’ behavior and learning abilities daily. Additionally, as she prepared to welcome her little one, she found herself delving deep into the world of researching how to encourage healthy sleep habits from the beginning.
Of course, she then learned that feeling prepared as a first-time mom is nothing like actually being a first-time mom. She quickly found herself looking into the Family Sleep Institute and using her fussy baby as a guinea pig to learn how to improve his sleep – and her own.
The experience helped her realize how little new moms are informed about their baby’s sleep needs, and she decided to set out to help as many moms and babies as possible. Her love of teaching and working with kids set her up perfectly to open Southern Sleep Consulting, and she has been successfully helping babies and their parents get better sleep ever since.

Lesley’s goal is to help as many moms and babies as possible, so she has several packages designed to meet every situation and budget. Regardless of whether you know where to begin, you can always start with a free 15-minute phone consultation!
Firstly, her most comprehensive package is the Phone Consultation with two weeks of Support. This package includes:
If you live in the area, you can always add an in-home consultation for an additional fee. She also offers this package at a slightly less expensive rate for only one week of follow-up support instead of two.
Secondly, The Newborn Sleep Package is perfect for expecting parents and includes:
If you have a simple question and need a direct and helpful answer, you can always reserve a 30-minute phone call to discuss your questions.

Lesley knows that it isn’t just one secret or tip or trick that will help your baby get better sleep. That’s why she’s included lists of her favorite products on the Southern Sleep Consulting website. Whether it’s toys that help soothe, blackout curtains, and white noise machines to create a more calming space, or books to help give you a better idea of their sleep habits, she’s got the perfect recommendations to help.
Southern Sleep Consulting is an excellent resource for tired parents and babies. With her phone consultations, you can take advantage of her expertise anywhere in the world! It never hurts to take advantage of her free 15-minute introductory phone call.
