Stewart Family Solutions provides Sleep Consultations for families prenatally, with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and young children ages birth through ten years old.

This phone-based service is available to families internationally.

Sleep, or the lack there-of, impacts all aspect of our lives: a child’s development and learning; a child’s health; a parent’s emotional, mental and physical wellness;parents’ relationship with one another; a parent’s ability to function at work; and the safety of the family. “My child isn’t sleeping” is just the tip of the iceberg.Teresa Stewart: Family Solutions is here to help you determine what is underneath this iceberg.

Teresa‘s REST approach follows these principles:

R – respect for your entire family. *You* are the expert on your child. This is fully respected and honored in our work together.

E – education for all involved with your child’s sleep (parents, grandparents, other caregivers). Teresa will help you navigate conversations with others and provide resources that can be shared with all of your child’s caregivers.

S – solutions that feel comfortable to you as a parent and are practical for your family. This is important. If at any time, you’re uncomfortable with an option being discussed, let us know. We won’t be offended. We will discuss other options for consideration.

T – techniques that support not only your child’s sleep, but also her health, emotional wellness, and development. Teresa is not only a sleep consultant, but also holds a MS in Child Development, a MPH in Maternal and Child Health, and postgrad certificates in a number of emotional wellness and mental health areas. She is also trained as a childbirth educator and CPR/ safety instructor. This means you get the expertise of multiple professions rolled into one consultation!

Every family has a sleep story. What is yours?

If you’re seeking support around bedtime challenges, night wake-ups, too early mornings, or nap-time struggles, Teresa is here to help you achieve your sleep goals. Questions around transitioning out of the swaddle? Weaning off night-time feedings? Do you love co-sleeping with your baby, but also want to help your baby achieve more consolidated sleep? Is your toddler escaping the crib? Is your preschooler having nightmares? Are you having trouble with your child’s naps at childcare or preschool? Do you need your children to room-share and it’s not going well? Are you not sure where to begin with sleep expectations of your child?

Teresa has over 18 years of experience helping tired parents in all of these situations (and more!). Unlike other sleep consultants, she won’t insist on a certain technique or a specific sleep environment. You share YOUR goals and she will provide you with the tools and support to achieve them.

Please read below about how to schedule a consultation and the different package options.

The Sleep Consultation Process

Consult Request:

  1. Complete the sleep consultation form if you are interested in scheduling a consultation.
  • The consultations are phone-based, which allows Teresa to help families from all over the US. Parents, grandparents and other caregivers (anyone involved with the child’s naps or night-time sleep) are welcome to be a part of the consultation. The consultation takes place on a conference line, so you can call in from different locations. Arrangements can also be made with international clients- just ask!
  • Teresa will email you with her availability (which includes daytime and evening hours, M-F. Sorry, she doesn’t conduct consultations on weekends. It’s important to her to have family time.), a contract, a questionnaire for you to complete, and a sleep assessment graph to start tracking your child’s sleep patterns.

Scheduling & Payment:

2. Payment is required within 24 business hours of you requesting a date, in order to confirm and reserve your appointment.

  • Payment is nonrefundable. No exceptions to this. More details in the contract you’ll be sent.

Sleep Consultation:

3. During the consultation, together we will create a plan that feels comfortable and practical to you as the parent, respects your child’s developmental stage and unique needs, and takes into consideration your family dynamics. Unlike some others in the field, Teresa does not create a plan pre-consult. The plan is created in collaboration with you! Please be prepared to take notes during our consultation.

4. Within three-to-five business days after the consultation, you will receive a written copy of the plan we created together during the consultation. Applicable handouts and other resources will also be sent to you.

Support / Coaching:

5. If you have chosen the email support package, email support should begin within a week after the consultation, unless other arrangements were agreed upon during the consultation. The two week period is designed to be implemented in tandem with the consultation to ensure your success with the plan! More details around email support will be discussed on the contract.

  • Please note that the policy is for Teresa to responded within 36 business hours, Monday-Friday. Usually emails are answered quicker, but please allow for up to 36 business hours. Emails may be answered over the weekend, but it is not guaranteed. Business hours are M, T, and TH 9am-9pm EST; Wednesdays 9am-4:30pm EST; and Fridays 9am-2:30pm EST.
  • If you are seeking to work on your child’s nighttime sleep *and* naps, please be advised that 70% of clients will book 30 follow-up consultations after the initial consultation and email support period was utilized to work on naps after night goals are achieved. Teresa’s method is phase-based to reduce the stress of your family and enhance your success. She wishes she had a magic answer, but she doesn’t! Her goal for your family is long-term success. Long-term success happens when you are invested in creating the biological, developmental, and emotional foundations of sleep.

What families are saying:

“I was beyond desperate when we first contacted Teresa. Our son had been sleeping in only 45 minute intervals for MONTHS. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through. I was a tired, sad, extremely sleep deprived woman, momma, business owner and wife. I was chained to our monitor and son’s sleep patterns. We never left the house because I was so worried how it would affect my child’s sleep. Teresa took us under her wing with such grace, understanding and met us RIGHT where we were. I felt so supported for the first time in a long time, as many family and friends were judging what was going on. She explained things to this tired momma that encouraged me and made me feel hope! I can now happily report my son is sleep in LONG chunks and we can go and do things during the day as we have successful helped teach my son how to sleep better. Things are improving and changing every day. I can’t express how grateful I am for this sweet woman’s advice and guidance. If any of the first paragraph sounds like your life right now, get on the phone with Teresa and sign up for the follow-up email. It will change your world. ”

“As first time parents we knew we’d have lots of trials and tribulations ahead, but the one aspect of parenting we knew we needed to be on-point with was our son’s sleep. I had read so much on the impact of good and bad sleep habits and we wanted to get this right. My husband and I attended an infant sleep workshop that Teresa had conducted. We left informed, prepared, and supported. We then had a one-on-one phone consult where she listened to our expectations and developed a sleep strategy specifically for our son. She helped us more than we ever thought possible. I can always feel her genuine desire to help us with Owen’s sleep; she listens to my questions (and my worries) and she’s got a warm vibe that calms my nerves instantly (something every parent dreams of!). We still follow up with Teresa as our little guy grows and develops, and she puts us back on track to get him the best sleep possible. We recommend her expertise to anyone struggling with sleep or just looking to improve their current sleep situation.”

“My husband I have worked with Teresa several times in the past year. We feel very fortunate to have found her. We first connected with Teresa when our son was six months old. He was still waking up several times in the night, as well as struggling with naps. We were somewhat skeptical to do a sleep consultation over the phone. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly Teresa seemed to understand our situation. It was as if she had met our son before. She listened to our goals and family dynamic and helped us implement a sleep action plan that would work for us. She also put us at ease that we were on the right track. We did two follow up consultations when our son was transitioning from 2 naps to 1. We were also able to ask questions on what to expect down the road, like when to begin to prepare for a toddler bed. Teresa was professional, thoughtful, and always willing to listen. She gave us the knowledge to help teach our son healthy sleep habits and we feel so lucky to have worked with her. We would HIGHLY recommend her !!!!”

“Our third child’s difficulties with sleep threw us for a major loop, and after many sleepless nights, we hired Teresa for help. Our only regret is that we didn’t hire her earlier! Teresa carefully considered our daughter’s developmental stage, our own parenting style, and our family’s schedule in order to come up with a unique sleeping plan for her. As we implemented the plan, Teresa was readily available to answer questions, calm our concerns, and tweak the interventions as needed. We started seeing results immediately. Our five month-old daughter is now sleeping for much longer stretches during the day and night. We are so happy that we hired Teresa to help us get our daughter’s sleeping patterns on track and would highly recommend her to all tired parents!”

~ Joy & Matt,

Dallas, TX

“I met Teresa during a sleep workshop organized by our club of Moms of Multiples and I cannot say enough good things about her! Teresa truly listened to each family’s individual situation and was able to offer suggestions to moms with children of all ages. Her ideas for our 6 month old twins were wonderful and I saw immediate improvements in their napping after implementing Teresa’s suggestions. I know I’ll be keeping her contact information on my refrigerator in case any need arises for the future!”

~ Kelly,

Natick, MA

” Teresa’s gentle and supportive approach was the perfect fit for our family. She gave us the confidence to know we were doing the right thing for our daughter and helping her learn a new skill. We had worked with several other sleep consultant prior to Teresa – four in total – and were beginning to fear that we were doomed to a future of sleepless nights. We’d heard a LOT of advice (good and bad) from professionals, well meaning family and friends, myriad books, and even random Internet blogs. We’d had two failed attempts at sleep training that had left us all upset and discouraged, and we felt confused and overwhelmed.

“I would recommend Teresa’s services to any family struggling with their infant’s sleep habits. Our son Diego was six months old when we started working with Teresa and he could only fall asleep while nursing and woke up 6-7 times per night. I was feeling exhausted, hopeless, and inadequate as a mommy. Teresa’s support was absolutely invaluable to my husband and me as she created and guided us through a customized plan based on our son’s age, developmental needs, personality, and our parenting style. Teresa never made me feel judged and was very willing to adapt the plan we had started to implement if it seemed Diego needed a different strategy. As a first-time mom, I cannot stress enough how comforting it has been for me to have someone who is not only an expert on infant sleep, but also a mom herself (who has experienced all the challenges of having a new baby), to guide me through the process of improving my baby’s sleep in a gentle and effective way. Thank you so much, Teresa!”
~ Lauren and Diego

“Teresa taught us how to improve our family’s sleep in the crucial early months of our daughter’s life. As a new mom with little time and little extra patience, I appreciated her ability to communicate efficiently and effectively. She was empathetic to our challenges and respectful of our goals and preferences. Through working with her, we gained a practical understanding of the big picture of babies’ sleep patterns and triggers. This knowledge has helped us adjust to our baby’s needs as they have developed. The tools Teresa provided made the process of tracking our efforts immediately apparent. It was encouraging to see the incremental progress we were making before we could feel the sleep deprivation wearing off. As a result of her coaching, everyone in our family is happier and healthier.
~ Nicole and Janos

“I found Teresa when I was a stressed out, sleep-deprived, desperate new mother of a three month old. My daughter was not sleeping long stretches and my husband and I were at our wits end, after trying several popular sleep training methods and letting her cry it out, all to no avail. Teresa was just what we needed, and we wish we had avoided everything else and worked with her from the beginning. She provided us with a practical, gentle approach to infant sleep that has been the best thing for us and our daughter. She was always available for follow up and sustained us with her calm, professional support throughout the process. For us, the greatest thing about Teresa is that her strategies are grounded in the most current scientific research and principles of child development. She does not advocate a “one size fits all” or “magic bullet” approach, but rather customizes a plan for the unique needs of each infant. I will not hesitate to re engage her services as needed in the future, and I would recommend her to any and all families looking to establish healthy, sustainable sleep habits for their child.”

“My husband and I were having a hard time getting our 10.5 months old to sleep through the night. We kept finding reasons why it wasn’t happening (teething, growth spurt, being away from home and so on). A friend recommended Teresa and I am so thankful she did. Teresa knows so much about the chemistry of the brain and the sleep needs of little ones. Teresa is also flexible as far as what kind of sleep training you would like to implement. She meets you where you are and tries to find what will work best for you and your lifestyle while still making sure your child gets what he/she needs. We feel like we have learned so much and we are finally sleeping at night- which makes our house quite a bit happier! I couldn’t recommend Teresa more.”

“We were hysterical with lack of sleep between our two littles and are so grateful we found Teresa! She offered a light at the end of the tunnel and a workable plan to help get our kids’ sleep back on track. She was with us every step of the way, helping us troubleshoot until we found the solutions that fit our family. We are so grateful for Teresa and her help with getting our household get back into a normal realm of sleep!”
~ Nissa and Seth

“Working with Teresa has been an invaluable resource during the first year and a half of our daughter’s life. Teresa has helped us through many daytime and nighttime sleep transitions and we couldn’t be happier with the wonderful little sleeper we have. Whether we were transitioning from a co-sleeper to crib, weaning off nighttime wake ups, or going from two naps down to one, we always trusted Teresa’s advice. With our input, she put together plans specifically tailored to our lifestyle, family schedule and comfort level. I would recommend Teresa to anyone whose child is having sleep issues. I believe that our daughter being a great sleeper has contributed to her being a happy, curious, well-rounded child.”
~ Liz and Jason

“When our son was 4 months old my wife and I began reading some books on infants and sleep. We wanted to set him on a good sleeping course and prevent bad habits before they began. There seemed to be so many variables, and creating a plan for our son and his specific needs seemed daunting. After talking with Teresa we had a clear plan in place. Throughout the consultation she made sure we were comfortable with the plan. She didn’t have one way of doing things, but instead she wanted to make sure we felt comfortable that the choices would work for our family. What became so valuable and helpful to us was the follow up e-mails with Teresa. When things didn’t go as planned we were able to check in with Teresa to figure out how to get back on course and how to respond to problems that didn’t come up in the initial consultation. A month later we have made a lot of progress. We’re all still learning, and not every night or nap is perfect, but he goes to sleep much easier, stays asleep longer, and in the morning he greets us with big smiles.”
~ Channing and Brooke

“Teresa is an absolute angel in the flesh. The help, support, guidance and teaching that Teresa has given our family over the past five years has been invaluable. She has helped and supported me in caring for my children since they were infants in all aspects of care, from safety to swaddling and beyond. Our family also went through very difficult and prolonged sleep challenges with both children. Teresa guided us through the worst of it and gave us the strategies (and much needed moral support) we needed to become a happier and much more rested family. We also feel much more prepared to be able to respond in an emergency situation because we took Teresa’s very thorough and expertly taught CPR course. I truly cannot say enough about what a positive impact Teresa has had on our family – she is just simply the best.”
~ Elissa
Needham, MA
“As a mother and a postpartum doula, I have had the pleasure of working with Teresa on a personal and professional level. Her expertise and kind manner is the perfect combination for families looking for guidance! Her method of teaching is gentle and helpful and I love that she will work with each family individually in order to tailor a plan to their specific needs. Teresa is also plugged-in to all the latest research and buzz, making her such a valuable asset for parents trying to navigate through all the information out there! I highly recommend Teresa for any parent seeking support!!
~ Rory
Boston, MA
“Teresa is just fantastic. In one short hour, she imparted some of the most valuable information new parents could wish for regarding to the mystery of baby sleep. She explained things in a very clear and parent-friendly manner. Teresa is extremely knowledge and flexible. She helped us create a sleep plan that fit our parenting style. We utilized the email support frequently and Teresa got back to us very promptly. I can’t explain what a relief it was for us to know that we’re setting age-appropriate expectations for our son. Above and beyond anything else, we were able to implement the plan the very next day and saw immediate changes. Our little one’s sleep has changed significantly in a matter of weeks. He went from taking five cat naps a day and multiple nighttime wakings to three longer naps and sleeping through the night independently. We couldn’t recommend Teresa more highly!"
