About Rhonda Abrahams
Rhonda Abrahams grew up in Melbourne, Australia. Rhonda is a mothercraft nurse, registered nurse, mother of three children - Brendan, Renée and Daniel and grandmother of two. She still lives in Melbourne with her husband and childhood sweet heart Denis.
Twenty-five years ago she was a young mum battling with her daughter Renée, who wouldn’t sleep and Rhonda was studying nursing at the same time. Seriously sleep deprived and desperate for some much needed respite, her sister took Renée for one week and brought her back a new child, her sister saying ‘It’s all in the technique’.
Rhonda began what has been a life-long passion: to teach babies and toddlers to sleep independently.
Rhonda won a small business award for creating the Baby Sleep and Settling Centre at the Sunshine Hospital in Melbourne where she settles hundreds of babies each year. She also educates the educators, talking to groups of antenatal educators and midwives in major hospitals and for mothers groups through Child Health Centres.
Rhonda has her own private practise, Sandman Baby Sleep Centre where she does private in house settling.
In May 2000 Rhonda settled a baby by the name of Nathan Viotto, this day changed the lives of many people.
About Maree Viotto
Maree Viotto is the mother of two beautiful boys Travis and Nathan. When Maree set out to visit her local baby health centre on 12 May 2000 she didn’t realise she was about to embark on the journey of a lifetime.
Maree was at the end of her sleep deprived tether, she was getting up to 12 month old Nathan up to 6 times a night and rocking him back to sleep. Marees’ health nurse suggested she do controlled crying techniques to teach Nathan to sleep independently.
When she visited Rhonda Abrahams at a baby sleep centre she was shown techniques to settle Nathan at home. In just one hour of using Rhondas’ techniques Nathan was sleeping through the night.
Maree was so inspired by the success of the sleep program that she wanted to share it with other parents all over the world and in October 2000 produced It’s Time to Sleep. A step- by- step visual guide featuring Rhonda and her program. Maree now offers support to other parents via her website and is a major contributor to ‘Sleep and Settling’ on Huggies website. Four years on Maree Viotto has written a book to answer all the most frequently asked questions.

Please note before ordering:
This DVD uses controlled crying techniques, which involves leaving your baby for short periods of time to learn to self settle. This often means your baby can be crying for up to 10 minutes before you check-in and provide some patting or ssshing to comfort him. Please do not purchase this DVD/book set if you are not comfortable with the concept of controlled crying, as we are not able to exchange DVD's due to a change of mind.
