Your little one's sleep doesn't have to be a mystery

Whether you call them the “Terrible Twos and Threes” or “Terrific Twos and Threes,” we all know that toddler life is crazy –  good crazy and messy crazy. With this newfound independence and language often comes some sort of sleep regression or change in sleep patterns, and one great tool to introduce at this time […]

Dream feeding…I had never heard of it until I had my newborn and I was really confused by the concept. Now, as a mom of three and also having a job that’s very much in the baby world, I hear about dream feeding all the time! So let’s talk about the ins and outs of […]

We hear about the four-month regression and other baby sleep regressions all the time, but we don’t hear about toddler sleep regressions as often. However, they are just as real, and honestly, sometimes more challenging! We often hear about the “18-month regression” and the “24-month regression” (or “two-year regression”), so we’re going to break it […]

Sleep regressions are REAL! When it comes to babies, the most well-known sleep regression is the four-month regression, and we covered that regression in last week’s blog/podcast episode. However, there are other sleep regressions babies can experience! But there are a lot of misconceptions about these other sleep regressions, so in this post, we’re going to […]

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 sleep regression dread those words. I still kind of shudder, both from my personal and professional experience when I hear it, because I know how hard the four-month regression […]

Last week, my friend, Sterling, joined me on the podcast and we talked about why her one-year-old might still be waking in the night to nurse. We also talked about what night-weaning methods she could use to finally get her baby to sleep through the night! (You can also read this blog post about how […]

My friend and I were sending Marco Polo messages back and forth several weeks ago and she mentioned that her almost one-year-old was still waking in the night to nurse, and she was wondering how to wean her from those night feedings. I asked her if she’d be comfortable jumping on the podcast with me […]

A few months ago, as I was getting our 4-year-old ready for bed and was moving her through her bedtime routine, she said, “Mom, I feel like you’re bossing me around.” That comment really made me pause! I can certainly get impatient sometimes, I’m not perfect – but I really wasn’t being impatient, I wasn’t […]

We found out we were pregnant with baby number four this fall and were excited to tell our families at Christmas. When we went in for our initial ultrasound, however, when we were 10 weeks along, we discovered that the baby had stopped growing at about 6.5 weeks. We were experiencing our first miscarriage. In […]

Do you know how dark is dark enough for your child’s bedroom? When it comes to your little one’s sleep environment, the ideal level of darkness is, “I can’t see my hand in front of my face.” I know that sounds impossible, and with lots of “blackout curtains” out there, it is impossible! And now that spring […]
