Hi, I am Daniela, Mother of 2 boys and a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant.
My journey into sleep consulting began with my first son.
He was a beautiful newborn. But from the beginning, he needed me for every sleep. He slept on me for all his naps. I slept with him at night. I rarely had a moment to myself. No time to recharge. No space to simply breathe.
After four months, it became even harder. He wouldn’t nap alone. Evenings meant long stretches of rocking. Nights were broken. By 4am I was exhausted and scared he wasn’t getting the rest he needed. I was surviving, not enjoying motherhood.
That experience changed me.
When my second son was born, I did things differently. I still embraced the cuddles. He napped on me. He often fell asleep while feeding. Nothing felt rigid or disconnected.
But this time, he could also sleep in his own bed.
I could put him down and have breakfast. Drink a warm coffee. Take a shower. Have a moment for myself. I had balance. I had confidence. I had rest.
That contrast showed me something powerful:
Sleep and connection can coexist.
Structure can feel respectful.
Families can be rested and deeply bonded.
This is why I created GrowwithSleep.
My mission is to transform the way families experience sleep by blending science based education with compassionate, individualized support, empowering parents to build sustainable sleep foundations that nurture thriving children and confident, well supported families.
Sleep deprivation should not and does not have to be the norm. 🌙
