We’re based in NYC and worked with Neffie virtually to help with our 10 month old son’s sleep. She took her time to understand our routine, concerns, and what we felt comfortable doing. We really appreciated having her guidance that was specific to our baby and being able to ask her questions without feeling pressured or judged to do things.
Before working together, we were struggling with early morning wakings, short naps, and hourly night wakings. With Neffie’s support, she helped us to get our son sleeping through the night, remove the early morning wakings, and prolong his daytime naps. Having Neffie’s clear plan and having her help us work through adjustments made us feel confident in how to approach things, and she even provided a document to resolve future sleep problems our son may have. We’d recommend Neffie to any parent that is looking for thoughtful, personalized sleep support. She truly cares for each family she works with, and recommend her to anyone who struggles with their child’s sleep.

We are so grateful we found Neffie! Before working with her, our son was waking up almost every hour screaming and crying, and it honestly felt like having a newborn all over again. He needed our constant touch and presence to fall asleep and would even get up and bang on his door in the middle of the night until we went back in. After months of big changes, including potty training, traveling, and transitioning to a toddler bed, we knew we needed help.
Neffie created a detailed, gentle sleep plan that was realistic for our family and Liam’s strong-willed personality. She communicated with us daily, was always responsive by text, and quickly helped us troubleshoot every new challenge Liam threw our way. Slowly but surely, we were able to remove the constant touch he needed, and he learned to fall asleep independently.
What we appreciated most was that Neffie’s approach was responsive and flexible. When Liam stopped making progress, she had already prepared us for how we could change the approach, so we never felt lost or like we were starting over. She gave us the tools and confidence to create healthy sleep boundaries while still being gentle and responsive to Liam’s needs. Seeing how far he came was incredible! We would absolutely recommend Neffie to any family struggling with sleep, especially those with a strong-willed child.

Neffie provided amazing sleep support for my five-week-old and us as parents. She came for two nights and provided us with resources, patience, and guidance on how to help our baby no longer only need contact sleep. She is sweet, genuine, and my baby loved her! She also provides postpartum services.

As a family in San Diego, we wanted a doula and sleep consultant that would provide gentle and responsive approaches. We had such a wonderful experience working with Neffie as both a postpartum doula and pediatric sleep consultant for our 7-week-old baby. She taught our family appropriate feeding techniques, safe sleep practices, and responsive ways to soothe and understand our baby’s cues.
The change we saw in our daughter after just one overnight was incredible. She became more comfortable sleeping in her bassinet, and we felt much more confident caring for her and supporting her sleep. She was patient, knowledgeable, reassuring, and took the time to demonstrate everything so we could continue using the techniques ourselves.
She truly is a baby whisperer! We are very thankful and grateful for her support and would recommend her to any family looking for postpartum care and sleep guidance.

After struggling with contact naps and rocking our toddler to sleep after a period of sickness, we decided to work with a sleep consultant. We found Neffie to help improve our almost 3 year old daughter sleep after transitioning her to a toddler bed.
Before working together, bedtime and overnight wakings occurred almost hourly, and had become a constant struggle. We weren't always sure how to respond to her needs and how to respond consistently.
During our time, Neffie created a personalized plan that was gentle and responsive while still giving us clear boundaries and steps to follow. She helped us troubleshoot along the way, adjusted her recommendations based on our daughter's response, and supported us through the process and the challenging nights.
By the end of our time together, our daughter had made meaningful improvements and was sleeping through the night. She was staying in bed more consistently, using her words instead of escalating, and began putting herself back to bed during overnight wakings. After working with Neffie, we felt more confident handling setbacks, knowing how to maintain her progress, and how to respond in the future when we travel or gets sick again.
Neffie genuinely cared about our family and our daughter's well-being. We sincerely appreciated that her approach wasn't one size fits all (especially since we needed to do two different methods) and that she never expected us to ignore his needs or leave him to cry alone. We would recommend Neffie to families looking for sleep support for their toddler.

We reached out to Neffie after months of struggling to get our 9 month old son to sleep through the night. We were constantly rocking or feeding him to sleep and waking multiple times overnight to help him settle.
We were hesitant to work with another sleep consultant because a previous consultant focused heavily on CIO methods, which didn’t align with our parenting style.
From our very first conversation, it was clear that Neffie’s approach was different. She took the time to understand our family’s goals and created a plan that felt gentle, responsive, and tailored to our son’s needs.
Within less than five days, we started seeing significant improvements in both nighttime sleep and naps. What impressed us most was that these changes happened without using CIO methods.
Neffie provided clear, evidence-based guidance, followed AAP safe sleep recommendations, and was always available to answer questions and offer support throughout the process. We felt confident knowing we had someone knowledgeable and compassionate in our corner.
If we had to do it all over again, we would absolutely work with Neffie and Gentle Sleep Solutions. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family struggling with sleep.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Neffie to improve our 9 week old baby's sleep.
Prior to working with Neffie, we were: waking up countless times, re-inserting the pacifier into his mouth throughout the night, and were barely getting any sleep during the early morning hours from about 3-7am.
We chose the Sleep Stabilization Plan, where we got constant support and feedback from Neffie. She provided an extremely thorough plan at the start of the program, and met with us virtually to ask questions. Every morning, we would send her our sleep log, as well as any questions/issues were were facing, and she would respond nearly immediately with feedback and any improvements we could make for the day. We also had a one week check in call with her, and a call at the end of the program.
We saw MAJOR improvements with our son's sleep in just a few days. Here are the highlights:
- He falls asleep independently in his crib (no more rocking or bouncing)
- More naps for longer durations in his crib throughout the day
- Longer stretches of sleep at night: we consistently get 6-7 hours at the beginning of the night (as opposed to 3-4hrs) and then another 3-4 hrs after feeding
- We as parents feel much more confident in how to react to our son's cry outs, nap schedule throughout the day, etc.
Lastly, Neffie provided a 'Graduation Guide' to help us navigate other sleep milestones our son will face in the future, which we have already been referencing.
Neffie really cares about the families she works with, and we could feel that throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend anyone struggling with newborn sleep to go to Neffie!

Working with Neffie has completely changed our family’s life for the better! Before we found her, our baby would only fall asleep if we rocked or fed her, and nights were a constant cycle of wake ups. We were extremely exhausted, overwhelmed, and hated bedtime.
From the very first call, Neffie took the time to really listen to our story and explain what was going on with our baby’s sleep in a way that actually made sense. She reviewed our routine, wake windows, sleep environment, and feeding schedule, then created a clear, step-by-step plan just for our family. It never felt ‘cookie cutter’ or harsh. Everything she recommended was gentle, doable, and respectful of our baby’s needs.
What made the biggest difference was her support throughout the process. She checked in daily, walked us through what to expect at each stage, and helped us tweak things when our baby threw us a curveball. When we started to second-guess ourselves, she was calm, reassuring, and always explained the why behind her recommendations. She was always an email or text message away.
Within just a few days, our baby was falling asleep independently and sleeping much longer stretches at night. Naps became more predictable, and our evenings feel more peaceful now. We’re more confident as parents, our baby is more rested and happy, and our whole house feels calmer.
If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck, I cannot recommend Neffie enough. Her process works, and she truly cares about both the baby and the parents.

Gentle Sleep Solutions truly helped saved the day! When My wife and I had our little girl, Aria, we were overjoyed! But we quickly became overwhelmed instead! Nefertia came in with a gentle, but professional approach and worked with us to not only help little Aria sleep well, but took steps to make sure we continue outside of her realm of influence. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
