About me

My name is Katy Adams & I am a Pediatric Sleep Expert with Live Love Sleep. It is my greatest joy to help families teach their little ones how to sleep through the night and take long, restful naps during the day. With over 4 years of professional experience and over 9 years helping other families sleep, I have personally worked with hundreds of families over the years. My goal as your Baby Sleep Trainer is to help your little one obtain the tools needed for sleep, which will provide a foundation for their milestones that they are yet to go through and give the gift of sleep for the rest of their lives. My proven methods and extensive follow up support are the key drivers of our success. Whether you have a newborn, a baby, or you are dealing with the terrible twos, I can help you and your little one get the rest you need using gentle sleep training methods! With a variety of options from virtual sleep consultations to full night in home consultations, we will discuss which package best fits your family’s needs on our Discovery Call.

Service introduction

I work with children of all ages, from newborns to children 8 years old. We start off by hopping on a free sleep evaluation call so that I can learn more about your child's sleep struggles. Then you'll fill out a detailed questionnaire so that I can create a customized sleep plan that will work for your family. We'll be reviewing your sleep plan in detail during our private consultation so that you feel 100% confident. I'll be following up with you over the next several weeks to pay close attention to how your child is responding to these techniques and make adjustments as we go, so that we will reach your sleep goals by the end of our time together. The in-home baby sleep packages are the most popular options with Austin families because I will be coming out to your home for your consultation. I will take a look at your child's room to make specific recommendations of change to create the ideal sleep environment for your baby. Most importantly, I will be by your side on the first night as you’re implementing the new techniques at bedtime so that you can feel 100% confident knowing how to get your baby to sleep. We’ll help you adjust what you’re doing based on your child’s responses live. We also offer phone consultations too.

Being first time parents of a baby with reflux. We were on 5.5 months of consistently interrupted sleep. We found Katy and within a week we were getting solid sleep! I can't imagine trying sleep training without Katy's guidance. Her guidance and consistent support helped us get through sleep training as quickly and smoothly as possible. We all have new skills. Thank you, thank you Katy! If you are on the fence on what to do...it's a very easy decision. Hire Katy and listen to her. You and your little one will be sleeping in no time!

Frequently asked questions

How much crying is involved?

As your sleep consultant, what I do is teach you how to interact with your child as they’re on the learning curve. My methods are very gentle. I will have you providing your child with comfort and reassurance, but there is still going to be crying. Your child is communicating that they’re not happy with the change and we don’t want to stifle that emotion. Your baby shouldn’t be prevented from communicating their frustration. We just want your little one to know that you’re still there and that everything is ok. As a sleep consultant, I teach you exactly how to do that without overstimulating your little one or prolonging the process.

How long does it take to get my child sleeping well?

The good news is that babies learn incredibly quickly. We will be working together for two weeks to ensure that we meet your sleep goals. Usually the first two to three nights are the hardest. By the fourth and fifth night, we’re typically going to find that your baby is going to be falling asleep rather quickly at bedtime. And then the night wakings will start to go away. Generally, by the end of the first week, night sleep is going really well and going into week two we’ll really be focusing on naps.

Will we fix naps too?

Absolutely! We’ll be talking through your child’s entire 24 hours schedule. Not only will we be fixing nighttime sleep, but we’ll be discussing what your child’s day will look like, the best times for feeds, how to get your little one down for a nap and what to do when your child takes short naps.

What happens if my child regresses after we finish working together?

We want to make sure that you’re fully equipped for success for years to come. Towards the end of our time together, we’ll be discussing all possible scenarios going forward, such as what to do when you travel, what your child’s sleep needs will look like as they get older, sleep regressions, developmental milestones, daylight savings, etc.

When can my baby sleep through the night?

My general recommendation is that once your little one has reached 6 months of age or is at least 15 lbs, then they will be physically capable of sleeping through the night. It’s just a matter of (1) teaching them how and (2) teaching them how to transfer those calories from the nighttime hours to the daytime hours. We start with babies once they are 13.5-14 weeks old (adjusted age).

Can I keep a night feed?

Absolutely! If your baby is under 6 months old, then they will likely still need to wake up for a feed. I want to make sure you’re comfortable with the plan and can incorporate one (or more) feeds into your child’s sleep plan.

What if it doesn't work for my child?

This is exactly why we have our follow up support. If we’re not seeing the improvement that I'm expecting to see, I will be making tweaks and adjustments to your sleep plan. It is my job to make any recommendation of change that is needed to ensure this will work for your child. We just ask that you stay 100% committed!
