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

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 […]

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 […]

Sleep training and how we approach sleep with our kids, in general, is a hot topic. Then bring that topic into a family where people might have different opinions and things can get tricky – especially with grandparents! The way my parents approached sleep, and just the knowledge around sleep, was so different when I […]

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 I work with families one-on-one, I often say that naps tend to be the hardest part of the sleep puzzle. That’s because daytime sleep is just plain different than nighttime sleep, and if sleep is going to get thrown off by a change, it’s likely the naps that will take the first or hardest […]

Nap transitions can be tough, and in both my personal and professional opinion, transitioning babies from three to two naps can be scary and feels like “uncharted territory,” AND it’s also an exciting transition! Your baby can finally start moving to more of a set, clock-based sleep schedule rather than focusing so strongly on awake […]

The transition from four naps to three naps isn’t super straightforward – it’s a lot more fluid than other nap transitions, and it often just kind of happens. But for some families, it doesn’t “just happen” and it’s tough to know when and how to transition to three naps. So in this blog post, I’ll […]
