About Us

Hi, we're Maddy and Margot. We created Littlest Learners because we understand firsthand what it feels like to be a sleep deprived new parent. Our sons were born a week apart and brought us together through a new moms group. We immediately bonded over our shared experience of staying up through the night feeding and rocking our boys back to sleep. Tackling infant sleep was tough, and we were losing our minds!

We started to worry that we would never sleep again.

We read pretty much every sleep book on the market and frantically googled solutions Then one day we hired a sleep consultant. After implementing a sleep training plan TA-DA! our sons were sleeping through the night!

Somewhere along the way, what started as a desperate search for answers grew into a shared passion. We found ourselves acting as unofficial sleep consultants to friends, colleagues and family with a variety of sleep issues, and decided to make the leap and create Littlest Learners.

We believe that all families can achieve successful sleep! We are here to give you an effective plan, support you through those really hard and emotional nights, and prevent you from giving up on yourself! We can't wait to help you sleep through the night.
