Meet Susie

Hi there! I'm Susie... founder of Healthy Little Sleepers - I’ve been helping little ones and their families since 2012. (And that's a pic of me and my little lady up above. Oh, how I miss that tininess!).

When I had my first babe (my son, Tyler) my world felt like it was turned upside down for the better and for mere, “Oh crap, what do I do!?!” I knew a TON about development, but sleep was a whole other ball game!

So, I did what I knew best and turned to evidence-based research on sleep - cause let’s face it… every other book was contradicting one another, and I was fearful in making the wrong decision for my little baby.

Through trial and error and paying so many dues to figure out how to get my little one to sleep, I came up with a map (so-to-speak) that led my first baby to sleep through the night at 4 mos and take 3 predictable naps during the day (the naps took some time to come together, but they did!).

I put what I knew and learned from lots and lots of reading and researching into practice and the results were amazing. It was so amazing that when I had my daughter, I started shaping healthy sleep habits even earlier with her based on all my acquired sleep knowledge, and she was sleeping through the night at 8 weeks old! (… and this is exactly what I teach in my age-specific course for 0 to 3 month olds - not sleep training… putting healthy practices into place).  

When not immersed in all things development and sleep, you can find me baking with my kids, sneaking in a workout, and if I’m lucky - a show… currently, Survivor orTop Chef.
