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

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, […]

As a mom and sleep consultant, I will be the first to tell you I think consistent routines and schedules, when appropriate, are really important for our kiddos. I’m certainly talking about sleep, and I’m also talking about eating around the same time every day, knowing when screen time is or is not, for older […]

In last week’s post, we talked all about when and how to wean your baby or toddler from the bottle – when it’s recommended to be totally done with bottles, your options for dropping them, common hesitations, and more. This week we’re on a related topic but also really different…we’re going to talk about weaning […]

Yes, we’re sleep consultants, but what a lot of people don’t realize is that working with us is usually about more than just explaining a certain sleep training method and then supporting you through it.

I have a scenario for you… Everyone in your house is sound asleep and out of nowhere you hear your little one screaming. What is going on? Are they having a nightmare? Is it a night terror? What do you do?? And how do you keep it from happening again? I thankfully haven’t experienced a […]

I hate to break the news to you, but it’s my responsibility to remind you…Daylight Saving Time is coming. If you’re not ready to think about it yet or don’t want to think about it, then just get out of this post and read another one. But if you want to start wrapping your mind […]

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

With the beautiful fall weather finally rolling in, cold and flu season is quickly approaching (although I feel like all year is sick season with kiddos!). But as a parent, there’s not much that makes me more sad than when my babies are sick. No matter what we do or do not do, even the […]
