“At 6 months our
baby was waking four times a night. Our baby wasn’t sleeping,
my husband wasn’t sleeping and I was loosing my sanity. A
wonderful baby nurse named Vivian came to my family’s rescue.
In two hours on a Saturday morning she gave us a plan of attack
to get my baby sleeping, and give us peace of mind. Like a great
coach, she was right by my side until the baby was sleeping through
the night. The results have been amazing! By the second night the
baby was sleeping through the night. She is such a different baby,
calm and peaceful… she even sleeps more during the day. Needless
to say my husband and I feel like real people again. I wish I had
called Vivian sooner. Vivian is smart and knowledgeable, but more
than anything she is a voice of wisdom, kindness and compassion.
She really understands babies and mothers and I know she really
cares. I STRONGLY recommend Vivian for anyone who needs help with
any part of their baby's development.”

“I highly recommend
Vivian Sonnenberg to new families looking for assistance in helping
their babies to sleep. Vivian provides support, warmth and experience
that gives new parents the confidence they need to help their babies
establish healthy sleep habits. We have received lots of positive
feedback from new moms who have utilized Vivan's services and are
now sleeping much better!”

“They are sleeping
through the night (7-1/2 weeks) - I'm not kidding – 10 -12
hours! I credit you with giving them such a good start in the world...”

“My husband works
market hours and I was doing the nights all by myself. After 8 weeks
I felt like I was going insane – I was exhausted, overwhelmed
and clueless as to what to do next. I had no idea it would be this
hard! Our daughter did not know night from day and would wake up
every three to four hours regardless of the clock. “Day One”
recommended Vivian and I reluctantly called her. I thought to myself,
“how can she REALLY help me if she doesn’t live with
us? What can one meeting do?” Vivian met with
us and gave us a plan of attack that was appropriate for our family
and my husband’s hours. She followed up every morning and
was an amazing support system for us. It’s not easy! After
sticking to Vivian’s plan and talking things through with
her we had our daughter sleeping 7 to 7 at 10 weeks. It only took
us one day. She has yet to deviate from the sleeping pattern and
she will be 6 months old next week!”

“Our three month
old son was having sleep issues... Our family was exhausted and
the tension in the house was thick. After a sleepless night we made
a call to Vivian. Vivian is a true miracle worker.. In just 5 days
she had Teddy on a schedule, showed us how to get him to sleep without
walking, bouncing, etc including helping take a bottle which he
had refused for a long time. Our time with Vivian, albeit short,
was quite special and I urge anyone considering her to hire her
without delay.”
