Hi families! I’m Kristen, and I’m honored to be Fourth Down’s Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant.

When my first daughter was born in 2019, I felt completely overwhelmed by the endless advice, opinions, and information being thrown at me. Like so many new parents, I doubted myself constantly, wondering if I was doing enough—or doing it “right.”

That experience inspired me to create a better way for families to navigate those early months with confidence and clarity. My mission is simple: to empower parents with the tools and support they need to feel capable, confident, and rested.

As a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Newborn Care Specialist, I help families build a foundation of rest and routine that supports their baby’s development and their own well-being. My approach is focused on creating sustainable habits that benefit your entire family long after the newborn stage.

My ultimate goal? To help you lay a strong foundation so your baby can sleep through the night as soon as it’s developmentally appropriate—without the need for formal “sleep training.” Together, we’ll create a plan that feels aligned with your family’s values and gives you the confidence to enjoy this special season of life.
