Kris, is absolutely amazing! When my 2nd son Wyatt was born I thought I was going to lose my mind. He was so much tougher than his brother. He was extremely fussy, colicky and spit up on almost every feeding. She was able to coach me on several different things and by 5 weeks old Wyatt started taking better naps during the day and was sleeping 8 hours at night. By 6 weeks Wyatt slept 9 hours a night and at 14 weeks Wyatt sleeps 10-11 hours a night. His nickname at home is now Mr. Coo because he is always smiling and cooing.

As first time parents we had heard about every approach to getting a little one to sleep. We knew we didn’t want to do the cry out method and we also knew we didn’t want to leave it to chance and I knew I didn’t have time to read every book on sleep for babies! We were so lucky to have found Kris and Hush a Bye Newborns! Kris gave us some restful nights as our night nurse but also helped us be disciplined and provide our daughter a consistent routine which in turn provided a sweet, rarely fussy baby who takes excellent naps and slept through the night before she was three months! We are continuing to use everything Kris taught us and know we have a fantastic person to call if we need help with sleep in the future!

We hired Kris to help us with our 6 month old daughter, Scarlett, who was having difficulties sleeping through the night, napping, and even eating. I cannot say enough good things about Kris and I tell every new mom, mom to be, or anyone even thinking about having kids about her!
We were told our daughter had acid reflux and a milk protein allergy…so she was put on formula (that she hated and refused to eat) and a bunch of medications to “help”. She was so miserable because of the taste of her formula and since she was refusing to drink it all during the day…we were up all night long for feedings. After almost 3 months of this, we honestly thought we were just going to have to suck it up and deal with it and get up every 2-3 hours with her until she “grew out of it” or “got used to it”. We thought special formulas and meds were our only option, and that she actually had all these problems. We were so exhausted and felt like there was no hope. We did not know how to help our daughter eat and sleep better. Then we met Kris and found out, it’s all in the schedule! We didn’t realize until we met Kris that the reason she could be fussy, not eating well during the day (and in turn eating all night), and not sleeping at night was not because she has reflux or an allergy, but because she is not on a good schedule, there was no routine, and she does not get good sleep during the day – making her over tired.
So Kris came to our house and gave us a personalized schedule to follow, and suggested we try an organic formula and Colic Calm for any tummy troubles Scarlett may be having. Let me tell you…what a difference!!!!!! We took Scarlett off her meds and put her on an organic formula and the first bottle she drank 6 ounces…which we never have seen with the other formula. She was eating more during the day, on a good schedule with good naps, and day 1 she slept 8 hours and only woke up twice. By day 3…she was only getting up once. By day 5…sleeping 7pm-7am! And now, if she does happen to wake up she knows how to self soothe and put herself right back to sleep. Kris REALLY knows her stuff! Our daughter is the happiest we have ever seen her, she knows the routine and her schedule and she goes down for naps and for bed with LITTLE to NO FUSSING! Kris is a parent’s dream come true! I strongly recommend Kris to any parent struggling to figure out how to get their child to sleep through the night. It is possible! We can’t thank Kris enough!

Kris was a lifesaver for us and we only wish we had found her earlier! Our little girl Sarah had acid reflux, colic and never slept during the day. We read multiple sleep books, but nothing seemed to work. Occasionally she would sleep through the night but it was so much work to get her asleep and to stay that way! Kris met with us when Sarah was 4 months old and set her up on a schedule and also gave us some much needed advice on how to help Sarah learn to sleep. Sleeping regularly through the night began almost immediately but the daytime naps took some time. After a couple weeks, Sarah began taking a morning and afternoon nap regularly. Kris was always there for questions and helped tweak the daytime schedule until we found one that worked. We couldn’t have a happier baby and I would highly recommend Kris for any first-time parent or baby with sleep problems!

I called Kris for a consultation when my twin babies were 5 months old. I had read so many books and had an idea of what we should be doing or not doing but I needed the reassurance to get it done. Kris had us log our feedings, naps and bed time routine for 5 days then she came to the house for our consultation. She came prepared with a new schedule and a few suggestions. We put the schedule into place the next day, eliminated naps in the swings, pacifiers and after 2 days they were sleeping through the night. Kris continued to review our logs and offered suggestions and support. She is an amazing resource and I would recommend her services to all parents with little ones!

I emailed Kris at 2 in the morning desperate to find sleep help for my 5-month old son, Andrew. Andrew was waking up a minimum of three times per night; sometimes as much as six times and unable to get himself back to sleep. I’d spend hours trying to rock him, lay with him, and feed him, but with no success. Kris responded to my email that day. When we met with Kris a few days later, she helped us put Andrew on a strict schedule during the day that ultimately led to Andrew sleeping through the night in just a few short days. Andrew and I were so sleep deprived (!), we didn’t even know it. With Kris’ help, we are all much happier with consistent sleep. Andrew is now eight months old. Kris helped our family get our lives (and sleep!) back. A big thank you to Kris. She is the baby-whisperer!
