Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Daniella Knight
Daniella has always been passionate about health and wellness and especially so, when she became a mom. When her first child proved to be a challenging sleeper, she set out to learn everything possible about pediatric sleep and has been helping families and kids get their best sleep for over 10 years. She joined Huckleberry in 2020.
Daniella's Story
Why she became a sleep consultant
My first son was a preemie and that was an experience I was not prepared for. After years of working with families professinally, I thought I knew everything I needed to know to be a parent. I was mentally, but not physically prepared for the exhaustion that awaited me! I remember waking up and not knowing if it was daytime or night time.
At that point, there were not a lot of books or resources about sleep available and I had no idea what I was doing. When my second son was born 3 years later, he was up all the time. By the time he was a year old, I was exhausted. He was up 13-15 times a night. I asked his doctor for help and she didn't have any helpful advice.
I read books (because then there were some available!) and couldn't get on board with some of their approaches. I cobbled my own approach together and ultimately he began sleeping better. Not long after, I found the sleep program I became certified in and signed up.
I became a certified sleep consultant and now teach sleep classes in our local hospital as well as support families and work with Huckleberry.
"Sleep is such a huge part of maternal mental health that I am proud and lucky to give moms (and dads!) the support that was not existent back when my kids were little."
How we work with families
Evidence-based, not trend-based
Plans are backed by science and support is adapted to your child. Every recommendation is rooted in peer-reviewed pediatric sleep research.
Flexible, family-centered methods
There's no single approach for sleep. Our consultants work with your parenting values and comfort level, so the plan feels just right.
Education over prescription
We help you understand the plan, not just follow it. You get the "why" behind each step, so you can respond with confidence.
