Helping Babies and Toddlers Sleep Better — One Family at a T

---

Irene Makriplis is the founder and lead Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant at Lullaby & Me. With over a decade of experience caring for children and supporting families, Irene developed a passion for sleep when she saw how much better children thrived — and parents felt — when sleep improved. 

Unlike generic sleep books or broad online classes, Irene works one-on-one with families to create custom sleep plans that fit each child’s age, temperament, and family preferences. 

Her approach is rooted in evidence-based sleep science, combined with real-world experience and empathy for today’s busy parents.

Parents trust Lullaby & Me because:

✔️ Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant
✔️ Years of hands-on experience with infants and toddlers
✔️ Personalized, practical sleep plans — never cookie-cutter
✔️ Featured sleep expert in The Washington Post
✔️ Named one of NYC’s Top 10 Baby Sleep Consultants
✔️ Dozens of 5-star reviews and real family success stories

There’s no single “right way” to help a child sleep — and no method that fits every family.

At Lullaby & Me, we believe:

✔ Every child is unique — not one plan fits all
✔ Sleep coaching should support your family’s values
✔ Plans need to be flexible and realistic
✔ Parents deserve confidence, not confusion

That’s why each sleep plan is tailored — and comes with real support from someone who understands what it’s like to actually do this in real life.

We help families struggling with:

• Frequent night wakings
• Short or inconsistent naps
• Bedtime battles
• Regressions
• Overnight feed transitions
• Early wakings
   

You’ll receive a custom sleep plan, plus support based on the option you choose (email, phone/text coaching, or discovery call).

“I was exclusively breastfeeding and co sleeping for 1.5 years. After being back at work for 6 months, navigating the overnight feeds and wake ups was burning me out. I didn’t know what to do. Everything felt overwhelming and I was withering away at all angles. After complaining to a friend about how overwhelmed I was with everything, and how unrealistic it felt to get out of this vicious cycle, my friend recommended Irene after working with her on sleep training her 3 kids. I took a chance, and mentally prepared myself for torture. My husband and I were on the same page. We needed to try something new, our way was not working. Irene gave the tools and skills we needed to accomplish our goals within 1 week. I don’t say this lightly, this experience was life changing and I’m grateful for the support and confidence Irene has given us to make this happen..” - Samantha Perez

“Working with Irene was such a game changer for our family. In just two weeks, my baby’s sleep improved so much, and we’re all finally getting the rest we needed. Irene was incredibly responsive and supportive, always ready to answer my questions and guide me whenever I felt unsure. The personalized sleep plan she created was clear, thoughtful, and easy to follow. I’m so grateful for her help and would recommend her to any parent looking for better sleep for their little one.” - Grace Kwon

"After MONTHS of restless nights of disrupted sleep by our 7 month old, I Googled sleep coach at the wee hours of the morning and came across Lullaby and Me. Irene got in touch with me quickly to schedule a call. She listened attentively and learned the details about my son to create a personalized plan within 2 days. She answered all of my questions and was so supportive as I carried out the plan. I greatly appreciated her time and prompt attention to my emails. I am so glad I decided to contact Lullaby and Me. Irene is knowledgeable, available and successful in this field and I highly recommend her to anyone who is having sleep trouble with their little one. I regret not seeking out a sleep coach sooner! You will not be disappointed with her services." -  Jennifer Andronica
