I’m Missy Yandow, Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Potty Training Coach, and Founder of Slumber and Bloom. My passion is empowering mothers by transforming family sleep and potty routines from overwhelming to manageable.
With a background in education, child development, and child life psychology — and as a mother of three — I deeply understand the challenges modern moms face: isolation, exhaustion, and losing oneself in motherhood.
Through personalized coaching, compassionate guidance, and proven strategies, I help mothers regain their rest, confidence, and joy.
At Slumber and Bloom, we believe every mother and family deserves support, restful nights, and the chance to thrive. Let’s reclaim your nights and rediscover yourself—because you deserve to bloom too, mom.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What ages do you work with for sleep support?
I offer sleep support for babies and young children aged 0–5 years. Whether you’re navigating newborn routines or toddler bedtime battles, there’s a package designed for your family’s needs.
What methods do you use for sleep training?
I take a personalized, evidence-based, and compassionate approach. We’ll choose a method that aligns with your parenting style and your child’s temperament. I never use a one-size-fits-all plan—and I won’t ask you to do anything that doesn’t feel right for your family.
Do you use the “cry it out” method?
Not unless you want to. While some families are comfortable with methods that involve more crying, many prefer gentler approaches. I’ll guide you through all your options and support you in choosing a method you feel good about.
What’s the difference between your sleep packages?
I offer a variety of packages—from one-week consultations to full-service, in-home support. The right fit depends on your child’s age, your goals, and how much support you’re looking for. You can compare all packages or book a free discovery call to chat through it together.
How quickly will I see results?
Every child is different, but many families start to see improvements within a few days of consistent implementation. Full sleep transformations typically take 1–2 weeks, especially with ongoing support and accountability.
Do you offer in-home sleep support?
Yes! I offer in-home services for families in Rochester, NY. I’ll be right there with you at bedtime or naptime to guide you through the process. Virtual support is also available no matter where you live.
What if my child has specific medical or developmental needs?
Before we begin, I conduct a thorough intake assessment to understand your child’s background. I have experience supporting children with reflux, sensory needs, and other considerations, and I’ll always collaborate with your pediatrician when needed.
Is sleep training safe?
Yes, when done with care and appropriate support. Sleep training does not harm attachment or emotional development when it’s personalized, responsive, and developmentally appropriate—just like my approach.
What’s included in your support packages?
Depending on the package, you’ll receive a comprehensive sleep assessment, a customized written plan, a 60-minute consultation, daily sleep log feedback, unlimited email/text support, and follow-up calls. You can see full details on the services page.
What if I have more questions or need help after our time together ends?
The Snuggly Sleep package offers one full year of support! You can also purchase follow-up calls or text support à la carte when needed. I’m here for the long haul!
Here's what Rachel shared about her consultation:
“The best part about Missy is that she tailors her plan to YOU as a mother. Her methods are gentle and she really leads with what is important to the parent while integrating her knowledge of sleep in infants and what is best for the baby. For example, as a working mom I didn’t want my son going to bed too early – so she put together a napping plan to afford me more time in the evenings. And she’s just so darn sweet!”
