Baby & Toddler Sleep Consulting

Helping families establish independent sleep habits for their children

Improve your child’s sleep and get more rest for the whole family

Without proper sleep, children can experience behavioral issues, cognitive problems, weakened immune system, delayed growth, and poor school performance. Consequently, parents can be adversely affected, experiencing sleep deprivation, increased stress, strained relationships, and reduced productivity. It may also impact their mental and physical health, affecting the parent-child bond.

Establishing healthy sleep habits is essential for the well-being of both children and parents. By seeking support and guidance, you can address bedtime struggles, night wakings, napping issues, or any other sleep-related difficulties. Working together, we will find the best solutions for your family.

What is sleep training?

Sleep training is teaching children to feel comfortable falling asleep on their own. A sleep-trained child can go to bed without needing to be rocked, patted, fed, or by sleeping with a parent. They can also put themselves back to sleep if they wake up at night.

There are various strategies that can be used to teach children these skills. Each child is unique, so it's essential to consider their age, temperament, health, and family preferences when selecting a sleep training approach.

Consulting with a qualified pediatric sleep consultant can provide you with professional guidance to support you through the process of attaining better sleep for you and your child.

About 

Kym Kloefkorn is a certified pediatric sleep consultant and a registered nurse (RN) who earned her masters degree in nursing (MSN) from UNC-Chapel Hill to become a nurse practitioner (NP). She has worked in both cardiology and sleep medicine as a NP.

As a mother of three girls, including twins, she understands firsthand both the advantages and challenges parents face when establishing healthy sleep habits and skills for their children.

Shortly after the birth of her first daughter, Kym was overwhelmed and exhausted by the frequent nighttime wakings. Having no prior knowledge about infant or child sleep training, she began to feel nervous about returning to work knowing she would require restful sleep to provide medical care as an NP. She soon began researching pediatric sleep methods and promptly implemented them, leading to her daughter sleeping independently within weeks.

A few years later when her twins were born, she was able to apply the knowledge she had gained previously right from the beginning. As a result, she was able to create a much calmer and joyful infant experience for her and her family.

Combining her expertise in sleep medicine and personal experience with sleep training, she obtained certification as a pediatric sleep consultant. Now, she offers tailored sleep guidance and strategies for families seeking improved sleep for children and ultimately, themselves.

Testimonials

  • Best decision we’ve ever made! We had been struggling for months with my son’s sleep. He would only sleep on my husband or I, or after nursing to sleep. We would be up multiple times at night, sometimes for hours on end trying to soothe him back to sleep. After working with Kym, he now goes to sleep all on his own without a struggle and is sleeping soundly through the night. Absolutely life changing!

  • “Kym was amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and efficient. She provided us with tools and resources to successfully provide our daughter with a consistent schedule and sleep patterns.”

    -Brooke

  • Kym was such a pleasure to work with, and she gave us back so much joy in our day! I have more quality time with ALL of my kids now that our littlest guy is able to happily drift to sleep. Kym was so knowledgeable, encouraging, and solution focused, and really partnered with me to make me comfortable and confident. I only wish I had asked for help sooner! 🥰
