Summer's Sleep Secrets Splits and Soars: Why NewbornIQ Was Born
Hi, everyone, and welcome back to the blog! Today, I want to discuss something exciting happening with Summer's Sleep Secrets. As many know, I've had a lifelong passion for newborn care. It all started in 2007 when I saw an ad that changed everything. It said something like, "Nanny for 3+ years? Become a Newborn Care Specialist!" That was it. I knew this was the path I wanted to be on, and the next night, I had a new job lined up. That began an incredible journey filled with love, learning, and helping countless families navigate those precious newborn days.
Fast-forward to 2021, and I was given a fantastic opportunity—to create my Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) course! It was a massive undertaking. Writing the curriculum, filming the lessons, and putting it all together took a good chunk of time, over 22 months, to be exact. But finally, in August of 2022, I launched the course with incredible success.
Here's the thing, though. As the NCS course grew, I started to realize something. It was becoming its entity, something much bigger than just an extension of Summer's Sleep Secrets. The NCS course had unique needs, a dedicated audience, and a path to forge. That's when I knew it was time to make a change.
In 2023, I separated the NCS course into its own company. This wasn't an easy choice, but I believe it's the best way to serve both Summer's Sleep Secrets and the fantastic community of aspiring Newborn Care Specialists.
And so, with a heart whole of pride and a head full of dreams, I present to you: NewbornIQ!

Why Separate From Summer's Sleep Secrets?
I've received many questions from my loyal Summer's Sleep Secrets followers. Here's the deal: By separating the NCS course, both Summer's Sleep Secrets and NewbornIQ can focus on their specific missions and provide the best possible experience for their audiences.
Summer's Sleep Secrets will continue to be your one-stop shop for baby sleep. We'll continue to provide valuable resources, tips, and support for parents navigating the often-challenging world of getting their little ones to sleep soundly.
NewbornIQ, on the other hand, can now fully dedicate itself to the education and training of aspiring NCS professionals. This means developing even more in-depth course materials, building a solid network of NCS mentors, and staying at the forefront of the ever-evolving field of newborn care.
Ultimately, this separation allows both Summer's Sleep Secrets and NewbornIQ to grow and flourish, ultimately serving a wider range of people and making a more significant impact in the world of newborns and sleep.
The Future of Newborn Care Specialist Training
The world of newborn care is constantly evolving. New research always emerges, and best practices are continuously being refined. NewbornIQ is committed to staying at the forefront of these changes. Here's what you can expect from us in the future:
