When we realized it was time to drop Olivia’s one and only nap, I knew we all still needed a mid-afternoon rest time. Although it certainly takes time, teaching, and practice, a great way to still give your child some resting time during the day (and you some space) is to establish a quiet time […]

The most well-known sleep regression is the four month regression, and now that we know what it is and why it happens, you might be wondering about all of the other regressions you’ve heard about! First of all, what is a sleep regression? A sleep regression can be characterized by a change happening in your […]

Did the mere title of this post make the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up? Those who have heard of the four month regression dread those words. My now toddler was a pretty good sleeper as a newborn. However, around that four month mark is when her sleep went downhill, and […]

Although I’m the one trained in all things sleep, when I start working with a family, it’s important that they have some understanding of what’s actually happening with their child’s sleep so they better understand the whys behind what we’re doing. So here’s your crash course in both baby and adult sleep! Newborns Newborn sleep […]

We live in a world that runs on schedules, and many new parents live for the day when their baby is on a schedule. Although I don’t see many babies get on a “fixed schedule” until closer to 7-9 months, it’s absolutely possible to have your child’s wake up time and bedtime be fairly consistent […]

Hearing your child wake up and call out for you, or come to your room, before 6:00 am is the WORST! If you’re like me, you cringe if it’s before 7:00. But I’m sure we’ve all been there! Early morning wakings are so frustrating as a parent and they can take time to rectify, but […]

Yep, you read that right. And I have photo evidence to prove it! Last summer, we got our two year old to nap on an airplane on three separate occasions! We took a trip out west with my family, followed by a visit to Canada to see Jason’s family, so lots of flying. I’m sure […]

Since getting married, Jason and I have always lived in small spaces. When we got pregnant with Olivia, we were in a one bedroom apartment, and I wasn’t quite sure how we’d make our space work since it was already tight. And I had my melt downs about not having space for an actual crib […]

As we are in the midst of a global pandemic, there are so many questions surrounding our day to day. How long will this last? When will I go back to work? How will my child continue progressing in school without actually being at school? How will I balance working at home and taking care […]
