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

As new parents, we all love exploring our new little one’s sweet newborn body. We kiss and caress and do all those new mom things! Massage can be added to your daily routine to enhance that connection. There is something special about setting aside a few minutes to give purposeful touch to your baby. You […]

It’s one thing to hear about sleep from a sleep consultant’s perspective and experience, but it’s another to hear about it firsthand from another parent who has been through the process and is willing to share about their personal journey! I’m excited to have Molli Atallah on the blog, sharing about her experience working with […]

Have you ever laid your baby down for a nap and then stressed about what to do with the next 30-40 minutes, knowing that it won’t be long before your little one will be awake again? I’ve definitely been there! If you have children, my guess is that you’ve struggled with short naps at some […]

The “car nap” – some parents love it as it provides momentary reprieve for a moment of silence, others dread it as it has the potential to disrupt an entire day of a good sleep routine. Whether your baby falling asleep while on a drive is a matter of going with the flow or stresses […]

Did you know that you can sleep train AND still give your child night feedings? The two don’t have to be mutually exclusive! Sleep training is all about teaching our babies and children how to fall asleep independently (without props!), so that as they experience naturally occurring wake-ups in the night, they are able to […]

Creating a baby registry is one of the most fun and also most stressful things I’ve ever done. There are so many amazing products out there, how in the world are you supposed to choose? What is a “must have”? What might be fun but unnecessary? Which brands are better? One of the many categories […]

“They are very regimented about their sleep.” “She’s going to sleep already?! Didn’t she just wake up?!” “Does it really have to be that dark?” “You need to chill out.” These are just a few comments we’ve heard from family members while on our journey with sleep. It would be easy to let these comments […]
