“My daughter started out a decent sleeper – she would go to bed late but would sleep 5-8 hour chunks, as long as she was sleeping with me. I thought maybe I had a unicorn baby. I was so wrong – her sleep went downhill at 3.5 months as part of the 4 month sleep regression – she started waking up every 45-60 minutes all night long! For the next 5 months her sleep intervals ranged from 45 min – 2 hours and I was going crazy! We didn’t even bother trying to put her in the crib because I knew I wouldn’t be able to get up that many times, and so she slept with me the whole time and would nurse back to sleep each wakeup, while my husband slept in the guest room. After 5 months of this I finally contacted Tayla for help.
I really wanted to try a gentle sleep solution, and she said she can provide me whatever kind of solution we need. She was super easy to work with and so helpful. She put a plan together for us quickly based on our unique needs and preferences. When I first read it, I thought to myself, “this is never going to work.” It could’ve been a fluke, but the VERY FIRST NIGHT we tried Tayla’s suggestions, my daughter slept the longest she had in 5 months – she slept in her crib and only woke up once or twice. The next night was a bit rough, but on night 3 she slept for 11 hours straight! It’s been a month and a half and her sleep has been amazing ever since we implemented Tayla’s sleep plan – I can’t even remember the last time I had to get up to put her back to sleep in the middle of the night. She consistently sleeps 11-12 hours per night and I’m finally feeling well rested!
I’m sure we will still have ups and downs with mental leaps and teething, etc but she is sleeping far better than I ever thought possible and I now know how we can get her back on track if we need to in the future. I can’t thank Tayla enough for giving me back my sanity. I would highly recommend consulting with her if you’re feeling sleepless and hopeless – she is well worth it.”
“Tayla Malott was my girlfriends doula. I was skeptical but in the interest of avoiding conflict and keeping my pregnant girlfriend happy I was game. Let me be honest, when I say I was skeptical I mostly mean that I didn’t think it was necessary. I WAS WRONG! Not only did Tayla take the time to meet with her before hand she came back and met with both of us and did a little private pre-natal class. During these visits she shared information useful not only to my girlfriend but me as well. Fast forward a couple weeks/months (I don’t really know how long it was) and it is go -time. Tayla answered the call, showed up and kicked ass. She provided support to my girlfriend and guided me in ways to provide support. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done during her labour without Tayla present. We have yet to have our after care visit but what I can say for sure is that it will be as amazing as the rest of the service she has provided. So let me wrap up this long review by saying 1. Tayla is amazing. 2. Doulas could never charge as much as they are worth 3. If you’re on the fence about hiring a doula please get off the fence. You won’t regret it.”
“I had my first baby in November and was having a hard time breast feeding. My milk took about a week to come in so I called Tayla to ask her for some help. She came over and taught me how to breast feed properly (had no idea I was doing it all wrong), and also gave me some tools to help Emma feed on me with formula before my milk came in. Emma was really sleepy when Tayla was here, so she showed me great tips on how to wake her up for feedings, and worked with us until Emma was fully awake to feed. She took her time, answered any questions I had and stayed as long as I needed her too. After she left, I’d still text her with questions and she was happy to help me. I recommend all my pregnant first time moms to see Tayla. If it wasn’t for her, I probably would have gave up breastfeeding a long time ago. Thanks to Tayla, I can feed Emma pain free and I actually love breastfeeding!”
“I just wanted to give a HUGE thumbs up to Tayla! We hired Tayla for our then 4 month old daughter. And we are so happy we did. Having sleep trained my first born (also thru a sleep consultant) I saw such amazing results that I wanted to do the same with my 2nd child, only earlier. I’m such a believer in sleep consultants in part that I need that extra support and encouragement that comes with them, over just trying the training on my own. Tayla customized a plan for our girl, messaged me throughout the days and provided such a support to me. Naps are a breeze and the 12 hour stretches she can go at night are AMAZING. Tayla’s knowledge, commitment and passion for helping babies and families sleep better is what makes her so special and I consider her such an asset to our community. Such a kind personality, and would most definitely recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Tayla for all the sleep we are getting. I have one happy and well-rested baby.”
“Tayla is awesome! My son was 9 months old and though we had some small successes with sleep earlier on, for the last several months he did not sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time. We tried sleep training on our own, but it just got worse and worse. In desperate need of sleep, we decided to hire Tayla as a sleep consultant. She came over on a Saturday and helped us tweak our routines and gave us a “plan” we could stick with. From that night on my son has slept at least 11 hours a night!!! Tayla was there every morning to check in and give us any tips and tricks. The only thing I wish is that I would have called her sooner!!!!”
“I am the mom of three little ones and I NEVER thought that I would be able to use the words baby, slept & through the night in one sentence. I certainly never got to say that with our oldest two, we co-slept and I nursed on demand, which while super rewarding, resulted in many, many sleepless nights.
There is a 4 year gap between our second and third child, so I had finally got a taste of what sleeping through the night felt like again, it was great! When our third baby arrived, I began co-sleeping & nursing on demand again. She would wake many times a night to nurse and I was exhausted. By 8 months I was so ready for a change, but I had absolutely no idea how to go about it. Enter Tayla! She was so supportive and helpful, offering me advice and recommendations on how to make the transition from our bed, to a crib in her own room as smooth as possible. Not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical that the process wouldn’t work. But, within a few nights I couldn’t believe it, she was sleeping for 10-12 hours straight!
Fast forward to 4 months later and our daughter is still sleeping through the night, in her own space, every night! I can’t thank Tayla enough for all of her help, it’s amazing what a difference getting sleep makes in your daily life. I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. If you are on the fence about getting help, do it, you will not be disappointed, Tayla is wonderful!”
“Tayla was born and lives to help others. It was evident when she showed up at my home to help me with breastfeeding. We had trouble with latching and she spent an hour with me going over positions and ways to practice. When that didn’t work, she spent hours researching and returned to help diagnose my little guys posterior tongue tie! I have since had the tie repaired and again Tayla has followed up to ensure we are on the path to pain free breastfeeding. If you want help with the frustrations of sore nipples, plugged ducts and tongue tie than contact her. If she can’t help than no one can!! Thanks again, Tayla”
“Tayla helped us with sleep training my 5 month old twins. We were getting no sleep at all and now we have a happy, rested family. She is so kind and supportive. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs more sleep in their lives!!”
“Tayla saved my sanity and relationship! Sleep Training was the best investment for our family. I was skeptical sleep training would work but I hadn’t slept more than 2-3hrs in over a year and my 1year old would wake up every 1-2hrs all day/ night. Tayla helped me get him into a routine and within 3days we were all sleeping through the night”
“I would recommend Tayla to any new Mom or anyone with kids for that matter. Everything is better and everyone is happier when your kids sleeps. Toddler meltdowns are much easier to handle when you have had a good nights rest. My first child (now 3) slept through the night quickly on her own. I assumed the same would happen with my second. When she didn’t I reached out to Tayla for help. After receiving a plan from her things improved very quickly. And within a week my 4month old was sleeping through the night. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Tayla!!”
“So thankful for the sleep training! In 3 days my son went from waking between 3-7 times a night and short cat naps here and there, to sleeping through the night and taking two 2 hour naps a day with the schedule that she gave me. She provided tips, daily support and the reassurance I needed to make sure we were successful. Money well spent!”
