How One Family Transformed Their Sleep in Weeks: From Exhausted to Energized

Camille's Sleep Story

When Alley reached out to Your Dream Plan, she was running on empty. Her 1-year-old daughter, Camille, was waking every three hours throughout the night, requiring constant rocking to fall back asleep. Like many parents in this situation, Alley found herself co-sleeping out of sheer exhaustion, leading to fragmented sleep for the entire family.

"Life was getting very hard to juggle running on no sleep," Alley recalls.

The Challenge: A Cycle of Sleepless Nights

The Before:

  • Camille woke every 3 hours needing assistance

  • Required rocking to fall back asleep

  • Multiple wake-ups when being put back down

  • Co-sleeping became a necessity

  • Entire family was exhausted and struggling

The impact of sleep deprivation was affecting more than just nighttime. The constant exhaustion made daily tasks feel overwhelming, and the family's quality of life was suffering.

The Transformation: Finding Hope with YDP

Alley enrolled in the Your Dream Plan Program, uncertain but hopeful that change was possible. Through personalized coaching calls and support from both the YDP team (Lily and Jen) and fellow parents in the program, the R. family began implementing evidence-based sleep strategies.

What Alley Loved Most:

  • Comprehensive program structure

  • Weekly coaching calls with expert guidance

  • Community support from other parents facing similar challenges

  • Practical insights and real-world scenarios

"The program overall is awesome. I enjoyed coaching calls and getting insight from other parents and their situations as well," Alley shares.

The Results: A Complete Sleep Turnaround

The After:

  • ✨ Camille now sleeps from 7:30 PM to 7:30 AM (12 hours straight!)

  • ✨ Falls asleep independently in 5 minutes or less

  • ✨ Minimal tears at bedtime

  • ✨ When she does wake, she self-soothes back to sleep quickly

  • ✨ Noticeably happier throughout the day

The transformation didn't just happen overnight, but within a few short weeks, the R. family experienced a complete shift in their daily lives.

"YDP significantly changed our entire family's quality of life in just a few short weeks," Alley explains. "Now we all have more time and energy to spend together and I couldn't be more grateful."

The ripple effects of better sleep extended beyond just the nights. With everyone well-rested, the family could:

  • Enjoy quality time together

  • Handle daily responsibilities with more ease

  • Experience less stress and frustration

  • Watch Camille thrive as a happier, more content baby

Alley's Advice for Parents Struggling with Sleep

When asked what she'd tell other parents in similar situations, Alley emphasizes the importance of seeking support: "Thank you so much to Lily and Jen for making YDP accessible and giving parents like me hope and support for things to get better."

“We will never be able to fully express our gratitude to Lily for giving us our quality of life back! We sleep now more than ever and most importantly our babies sleep 12 hour nights and nap 2 hours during the day.
Lily is the fairy godmother in our fairytale. I say fairytale, because we would never have imaged we would have such great little sleepers with having twins in the same room. But that was no problem for Lily: she knew exactly what to do! Lily’s support was invaluable in our journey to sleep.
Lily is compassionate, understanding, encouraging, knowledgable, friendly and extremely supportive! When she says she is a call away she really is - she was always right there with us whenever we needed her.
Lil Baby Sleep Consulting has been the best investment we have made in our babies and for the quality of life of our family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lily! We will be forever grateful to you!”
