Being parents to a newborn is often tricky and challenging, especially for those experiencing it for the first time. The most telltale experience of a parent’s hardship is when a newborn cries and wakes up at night. We frequently hear stories of parents sacrificing sleep for their babies, but personalities like Ann Marks believe this must not be the norm. According to her, “sleep should not be something you have to give up when you become a parent.” Guided by this philosophy, Ann aims to catalyze change in the lives of families through her brainchild, Full Feedings.
Full Feedings is a company that speaks volumes of Ann’s passion-driven vision of assisting parents in improving and managing their children’s sleeping time. Since time immemorial, parents have had a misconception about having babies, and Ann Marks thinks it is time to change that. Through her Full Feedings Method, both parents and children will be able to sleep comfortably at night.
Ann created The Full Feedings Method to offer parents an alternative to traditional sleep training, with a “no cry-it-out” needs-based approach to infant sleep. Essentially, the method focuses on satisfying the needs of babies and toddlers, enabling parents to gain the confidence and peace of mind to stop feeding their children at night. In this way, parents do not need to be sleep-deprived to take care of their babies.
The Full Feedings Method Online Program is a simple three-step process. An infant and a toddler may have varying schedules and demands, but Ann Marks has made it easy for parents to follow. The Program provides instructional videos, a written outline, and monthly guides that help parents achieve better sleeping schedules. Additionally, it also has other options that offer one-on-one consultations with Ann, as well as email support.
“This isn’t sleep training. It is a simple way of life that can be safely implemented from birth, where the focus is on meeting baby’s age-appropriate food, and sleep needs fully,” shared Ann.
Although Full Feedings has already impressed several parents across the world, it would have made significant strides had it not been for its founder, Ann Marks. As a single mom of three, this hardworking personality is intimately privy to the harsh realities that every parent faces with their newborn and toddlers. However, she was shocked that many parents regarded sleepless nights as a rite of passage into parenthood. On a mission to transform this misconception, she decided to create Full Feedings with a vision in mind.
“Millions of parents are justifying sleep deprivation for themselves, their baby, and their entire family because they have been falsely led to believe the only way to get their baby to sleep is to let them cry,” explained Ann Marks. “That shouldn’t always be the case,” she added.
Parenthood is a difficult reality that many parents struggle to overcome, but it has been regarded as the most rewarding stage of their lives. As Ann Marks continues to lead an enterprise designed to help individuals go through parenthood, she hopes to impact more lives and strengthen the will of parents across the globe. Through Full Feedings, Ann wishes to make a difference and improve the lives of families in the years to come.
