Anna Fedor, PhD

Like many other babies, my first child used to fall asleep easily while breastfeeding—but then, all of a sudden, everything changed. Bedtime turned into a struggle. On top of that, she woke up many times at night and often stayed awake for hours, crying almost the whole time. We tried everything to get her back to sleep, but nothing worked. After about a month of this torture, I started keeping notes of when and how much she slept. That’s when I realized things weren’t getting better with time—in fact, they were getting worse week by week. So I began to dig deeper. I read everything I could about baby sleep, but all I found were conflicting opinions that left me more confused than before. Luckily, I’m a researcher—I have a PhD in theoretical and evolutionary biology—so I had the tools to navigate the scientific literature. I read studies on infant and toddler sleep, child psychology, and spoke with many parents until I finally figured out what I needed to do. In the end, I managed to get my daughter to sleep 11 hours straight through the night. It was such a huge relief! The whole sleep coaching journey fascinated me so much that I became obsessed with the topic. I started podcasting about baby sleep, then trained as a sleep consultant. I even wrote a book about the method I developed. But I soon noticed that many parents don’t have the time to read books—or the money to pay for a private consultation. I wanted to create a solution that was as personalized as a consultation, but still affordable, so I could help as many families as possible. That’s why we founded Dreamsense. At Dreamsense, we understand that every child and family is unique. That’s why we don’t just hand out generic tips—we believe in truly personalized solutions, tailored specifically for you.
