“When we nurture infants and work with their biology we promote all of the things we wish for our children: lifelong resilience, healthy relationships, intelligence, curiosity, confidence, and self-worth.” Greer Kirshenbaum PhD
Welcome to SLUMBER!
An education and coaching service for families interested in learning more about their infant’s sleep, going through a sleep challenge, or struggling with sleep deprivation.

Infant sleep is a topic brought up a lot in parent groups making listening to your parenting instinct and your baby hard. Is your baby sleeping too much? Sleeping too little? Is your baby manipulating you? Are they sleeping through the night? Do they still sleep with you? How long does your baby nap? Is your baby a “good” or “bad” baby?
As an Infant and Family Sleep Specialist (IFSS) I believe that learning to fall asleep on your own is a developmental milestone, just like crawling or walking. Interfering with that milestone by trying to force (or ‘train’) a baby before they are ready can lead to tears for both baby and caregivers. Babies will learn to fall asleep on their own but there is plenty we can do to set the stage for your baby (and you) to get a good night’s sleep.
IFSS provide an alternative to sleep training and an approach to sleep that allows your baby to form a healthy relationship with sleep. We are a resource for holistic family wellness. I do not provide sleep training (gentle or otherwise) services.
Common Myths About Infant Sleep
MYTH | REALITY |
Sleep training is inevitable. All babies need it at some point or they don’t learn to sleep. | Sleep training is not required. Babies develop abilities to fall asleep and stay asleep over time. We can improve sleep conditions while it develops. |
Babies will need you forever if you accompany them to sleep each night. | Babies and children benefit from caregiver parenting at bedtime. All children will need you as they grow up. As they grow independent they will need you in a different way. |
Night weaning means the baby will stop waking up. | Until a baby is developmentally ready, they will continue to wake up regardless of night weaning. |
A baby will have poor sleep for life if they are not taught to stop night waking in infancy | Babies who are not sleep-trained have normal sleep when they grow up because sleep is a developmental milestone like walking or crawling. |
Babies need to self-soothe to sleep. | Babies need co-regulation to sleep. It is a biologically normal need for co-regulation throughout their growth. Babies cannot self-soothe the way we think of self-soothing. |

Welcome To Slumber
Hi, I’m Quanisha.
I’m a creative writer, full-spectrum doula, licensed massage therapist, and infant and family sleep specialist who guides families through different paths into and through parenting.
My training and experience have given me knowledge about biological normal infant sleep, parental wellness, and how to coach using a goal and family-focused style. As a certified infant and family sleep specialist, I take an attachment, mental health, and neuroscience-informed approach to infant sleep without sleep training.
