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

Last week, I shared all about the roller coaster of a breastfeeding journey we’ve had with our little James these last couple of months, and the amazing lactation consultant who helped us. This week, I’ll be interviewing our lactation consultant, Allyson Wessells of Nurture Columbus, but we won’t be specifically chatting about nursing! Allyson is […]

One of my favorite aspects of newborn life is that sweet little baby burrito I get to snuggle. Swaddled babies are so cute! And swaddling is such an important piece of newborn sleep, but it’s also something that gets misused! With my first, we swaddled her for naps and nighttime for four+ months. I actually […]

Traveling with young kids can be challenging enough (trips not vacations, right??), not to mention changing time zones and dealing with a jet lagged baby or toddler. It can be rough! But that doesn’t mean changing time zones with kids is impossible, and I certainly don’t want you avoiding family vacations and all of those […]

Do you live in an area of the country where hurricanes, tornadoes, or wildfires are a pretty real threat? If so, this week’s post is for you! I’m interviewing my teammate, Maura, as she has been in or around her fair share of natural disasters. She’s going to be sharing about how she and her […]

When I say the Fourth of July with kids, what’s your first thought? Is it, “Yay, fireworks are the best!” Or is it, “I can’t wait until they’re older so we can go to the fireworks again.” Or is it, “Ugh, the fireworks better not wake up my kids!” Or something in between? In this […]

“Is there a wrong way to sleep train?” I’m going to be answering that question today with six mistakes parents often make when sleep training. I don’t know about you, but we attempted to “sleep train” our oldest several times before actually sleep training her – or maybe I should say before “successfully” sleep training […]

Raise your hand if you think daylight saving time should just be done away with! (You can’t see me right now, but my hand is raised high.) The good news is that “springing forward” isn’t nearly as brutal as “falling back”; the clock will say 8:00 am when you wake up rather than 7:00 am, […]

When it comes to baby products, the choices are endless! There are SO MANY products out there – some of which are great, some which you could easily do with or without, and some that just seem pointless. And the same goes for baby and toddler sleep products! In this blog post, I want to […]

If you have done much research in the newborn and baby sleep world, you’ve likely heard the term “awake windows,” or “wake windows.” It’s quite the buzzword when it comes to baby sleep, but there’s also a lot of confusion and misunderstanding around it. Before I even jump in, I want to pause to say […]

What is the best age to sleep train? I’ve gotten this question a lot, as parents of course want what’s best for their little ones. The most straightforward answer is, whenever you feel like it’s best for your child and family. And I truly believe that! Though I’d add that there are pros and cons, […]
