Hello!

My name is Raelee Ott and I am the Certified Sleep Consultant behind Little Sleepy Otter! I grew up in Flagstaff County, but currently live in Camrose, AB with my husband. I am a proud mama to two kids: a boy and girl. Most of my time is spent at home playing and enjoying my kids, however I also work part-time as a nurse. I love being a nurse and helping others, however my family is my top priority, so I decided to expand my education of the human body and brain by taking a Infant sleep consulting course which allows me to work from home more often. 

My son was born six weeks prematurely and spent some time in the NICU. When we were discharged from the NICU, the nurse told my husband and I that baby would need 22 hours of sleep, but that he would also need to be fed every 2 hours. I know! How is that possible?! So in between feeds and cuddles, I would be constantly researching wake windows, sleep schedules, and premature baby sleep. Every time, I would get the same generic sleep schedule. I quickly learnt that those generic charts and information were not going to work for my son. So, we hired a sleep consultant ourselves and through expert help, we were able to figure out a schedule that was specific to our son. He started to thrive! Once he was getting adequate sleep, he started hitting milestones and growing like a weed.

When I had my daughter I had finished all my schooling to become a certified infant sleep consultant and had a few client but I really was able to put my knowledge to test with her and be more confident in her sleep. She was completely opposite to my son in the bases that she just didn’t need as much daytime sleep, so I had to work with her and design a sleep routine that worked for her specific needs.

This inspired me to want to help other parents by creating custom sleep plans specific to their children as each one is different.

I enrolled in the Infant Sleep Consulting Course through QC Wellness Career School in August of 2022 and finished the program in Feb 2023.

I am very excited to work with you and achieve better sleep for all!
