It's rarely just sleep. Or just potty.
Private, personalized support for babies and toddlers, from pregnancy to 6 years. Before we change anything, we look at the whole picture: feeding, naps, development, routines and how your child is being supported when things get hard.
You've read every article. You're still up at 2 AM.
It's 2:17 AM. You're sitting on the edge of the bed, baby finally quiet on your chest, phone on the lowest brightness, typing "why does my baby wake every 45 minutes" for the fourth time this week.
Or it's 7:40 AM. You're already late. Your three-year-old is holding his poop again, crying on his tiptoes, and you're kneeling on the bathroom floor in your work clothes, trying so hard to stay calm.
You've done the wake windows. The sticker charts. The three-day method. The advice from your mom, your sister-in-law, your pediatrician, and a stranger on the internet.
And the loudest voice in the house is the one in your head: what am I doing wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong. You've been following advice that was never written for your child.
Two children can have the same problem for completely different reasons.
Two babies can both wake at 2 AM, and need two completely different plans. Two toddlers can both refuse the toilet, one from fear and one from discomfort.
That's why I don't start with a method. I start with your child.
Four simple steps.
- 01Tell me what's happening.
A short application, about 3 minutes, mostly taps.
- 02We talk.
A free 20-minute call. I listen, ask the questions nobody has asked you yet, and tell you honestly whether I can help.
- 03We look at the whole picture.
Before anything changes, we figure out what's actually driving it.
- 04You get a plan that fits your child and your real life,
and you're not left alone with it.
What families come to me for
- Sleep: night wakings, short naps, contact naps, early mornings, bedtime battles, newborn days and nights that blur together
- Feeding and routines: when feeding and sleep are tangled, or the day has no rhythm
- Behavior and communication: tantrums, transitions, the everyday hard moments
- Potty: holding poop or pee, fear of the toilet, accidents, or an attempt that went badly
From pregnancy to 6 years. Not sure where you fit? That's what the call is for.
Hi, I'm Arianne.
I'm the founder of Todspot, a mom to three boys (so yes, I get it), and a complete nerd about infant and toddler development. Most families come to me because nobody is sleeping, or potty training has become a whole situation. But it's rarely just sleep or just potty.
I work virtually with parents to connect the dots between feeding, routines, development, behavior and everything else affecting their child. Then we build a clear, practical plan that works in real life, and I stay closely involved while you implement it, adjust it and learn to sustain it yourself.

From the moms I've worked with
I just had to take a moment to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I honestly don't know how to sum up how much this has meant to us as a family. … I was so skeptical at first, but WOW… this has truly given us our lives back.
We have twins and joined Todspot when they were about 2½ months old, deep in sleep deprivation and chaos. We really joined thinking they'd help us sleep train. Little did we know, we would have guidance and support for everything baby: sleep training, play time support, starting solids, schedule, etc. The absolute best!
As a first time mom I was lost in the process of introducing solids to my baby. I found Todspot through friends that recommended them with eyes closed… They guided me through the whole process of introducing food, which was a HUGE support. Fully recommend to any mom at any stage with their babies!
Who this isn't for
- If you want one call to fix bedtime. I don't do one-off consultations. What makes this work is knowing your child over time.
- If you want a guarantee. Your child isn't a formula, and I'd be careful of anyone who promises otherwise.
- If your child needs medical care first. I'll tell you, and help you figure out who to see.
Questions moms ask me
Is Todspot only about sleep?
No. Sleep is the most common reason families come to me, but the work covers feeding, routines, development, behavior and family life, because they affect one another.
Do you work with families outside the US?
Yes. Everything is virtual, wherever you live.
Can I book a single consultation?
No. The work depends on knowing your child over time and adjusting as they change. A single call gives you a snapshot, and snapshots are what you already have.
Do you provide medical care?
No. Todspot provides education and coaching. Diagnosis, emergencies, medication and dosing need a licensed clinician.
