Who is the 1 Hour to Sleep Consult for?

 

Your baby was sleeping well, but suddenly won't sleep unless held. 

That newborn magic where they’d snooze peacefully in their bassinet has disappeared, and now sleep has fallen apart - you’re stuck holding them for every nap and bedtime. You’re desperate to reclaim some independence and help your baby sleep comfortably on their own again.

You’re battling short naps, and it’s impossible to establish a routine.

You’ve tried everything—dark rooms, sound machines, perfect wake windows—but those 30-minute naps are still an everyday occurrence. You’re ready to finally create a predictable schedule so you can stop feeling like every day is a guessing game.
   
Your baby is waking up three hours after bedtime and staying up for a party in the middle of the night.

You tuck your baby in, thinking you’re finally getting a break, only for them to wake up hours later, ready to play. Those 1–2-hour middle-of-the-night “parties” are leaving you exhausted and dreading the evenings. You’re ready to get your baby sleeping through the night again—without the midnight raves.
 

 

False starts and middle-of-the-night wake-ups are derailing your evenings.

You get your baby down for bedtime only to have them wake up 1 hour later, leaving you scrambling to figure out how to reset the night. You need an expert to look at your baby's specific sleep situation to address false starts and get back to restful nights for everyone.

Your toddler is getting up dozens of times before going to sleep and fighting their bed like it’s the enemy.

You have a routine, read all the bedtime stories, and yet your toddler is doing everything they can to avoid staying in their bed. Whether they’re asking for one more hug, another trip to the bathroom, or testing your limits with the ultimate bedtime battle, you need strategies to help them settle and sleep peacefully—so you can finally relax, too.
   
Your toddler’s separation anxiety is causing bedtime chaos.

Your once-independent sleeper now clings to you, refusing to settle in their bed. Potty standoffs and endless wake-ups are wearing your family thin. You’re looking for a way to gently guide your toddler back to feeling safe and secure in their own bed.

 
You’re ready for expert support tailored to YOUR family.
You’ve Googled, tried the apps, and asked everyone for advice. None of it seems to work because none of it was made for your specific situation. You need personalized coaching created by someone who gets it—and who knows how to help.
   
here's what happens...

When your baby’s sleep starts to improve:

Your days are more predictable.

You wake up in the morning knowing what to expect because your baby or toddler is finally on a consistent routine. 

Naps happen when they’re supposed to, and you no longer spend your afternoons wondering when—or if—they’ll get the rest they need.

You have time to enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tackle your to-do list without rushing.

Nights become peaceful again.

You lay your baby down for bed, knowing they’ll sleep soundly—perhaps with one feed, or none, depending on your family’s goals. 

You finally get to reclaim your evenings, spending time with your partner, catching up on your favorite shows, or just enjoying the quiet. No more endless rocking, pacing, or wondering if tonight will be another battle.

Even bigger challenges start to feel manageable. 

Maybe you’re transitioning out of co-sleeping, saying goodbye to the pacifier, or navigating those dreaded 5 a.m. wake-ups. Whatever it is, you have a plan that works for your family—without resorting to the cry-it-out method.

This isn’t just about better sleep; it’s about creating a home where everyone feels rested and ready to take on the day.

"I got more from Susie in that one hour than I could have ever imagined."

Harry was having frequent emotional outbursts—throwing things, yelling, and even hitting other kids. After just one hour with Susie, she gave us tools to help Harry express his emotions in positive, pro-social ways and guided us on how to approach his school with interventions that actually support his needs rather than punish him.

Mom to Harry (3.5 years old)

"After working with Susie in a one hour consult, we’ve turned things around completely. "

Our son was waking up multiple times a night and needing to be rocked back to sleep and now he is sleeping through the night. I was feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Her approach is so thorough and supportive — she really walked me through every step and helped us get on a path to better sleep for our whole family.

Hey there!

i'm Susie Menkes, PhD in baby sleep...

And since 2012 I have worked with families through 1:1 consults, overnights, and online group coaching. 

I’ve personally helped 1200+ parents experiencing sleepless nights, overwhelmed by conflicting advice from family and online forums, and struggling to balance career/daily life with nighttime wake-ups.  

I’m also the newborn sleep expert for Hatch Collection and Beverly Hills Pediatrics and provide in-home visits and overnight support (locally in LA/OC).

Here's a reminder for how the
1 Hour to Sleep Consult  works:

Once you click "Book Your 1 Hour to Sleep Consult"

You’ll be taken to my calendar to select a date and time that works for you.

Then, you’ll fill out an intake form that will provide me with details about your baby’s sleep situation including wake up time, nap times (and how long), bedtime, what’s happening in the middle of the night, and daily routines, and feeding.

Share your goals

Plus, what you’re struggling with and your parenting philosophy around sleep training, so we can put a plan together that works specifically for your family.

Before we hop on our call... 

I'll review this before our sleep consult and note the adjustments we want to make based on the details you shared with me and get a good idea of where we should start.

 

The Zoom Consult

When we hop on our zoom consult, we will get into the details together, make adjustments to the plan, and make sure you have clarity around:
Share your goals

Plus, what you’re struggling with and your parenting philosophy around sleep training, so we can put a plan together that works specifically for your family.

  • Exactly what you need to do to reach your goals, so you can get your baby sleeping more and YOU too in a matter of weeks or just a few days.

  • Expectations around sleep training in terms of how long this will take, what if my baby doesn’t fall asleep (psst… it’s never happened), and how to navigate doctors appointments or baby classes, so you feel confident and prepared.

  • And I’ll answer all of the “what if” questions, so you know exactly what to do if you feel your baby isn’t going to fall asleep, or if your baby isn’t going to take a long nap, or if you need to drop off your preschooler and don’t know how to navigate those naps… and everything in between!
