We help babies sleep better.

Online sleep classes and resources for newborns to 24 months.

Hey there! I'm Cara.

I'm a neonatal nurse, wife of a pediatrician, and a certified pediatric sleep consultant. I'm also a mom to four kids, so I know first-hand how important good sleep is for your entire family.

I created Taking Cara Babies to help babies sleep so that the whole family can truly thrive. Let’s meet your babies right where they are developmentally with strategies that match your family’s priorities and lifestyle.
