One of the first questions new parents usually ask is “when can/should I sleep train my baby?”. I don’t suggest officially sleep training until at least 4 months as you need to give babies time to reach an appropriate level of development and for their circadian rhythms to kick in. However, there are ways you can “practice” with your little one to set them up for greater success as they get older. One way to do this is called the soothing ladder.

How do you handle sleep when your child is sick? This is a question I am often asked and such an important topic to discuss. Let’s dive in!

Hey there! How is it already time to change the clocks again?! Didn’t we just go through this? I know daylight savings can elicit feelings of panic in parents of little ones, but don’t worry- this is usually the easier one! And, bonus, it means warmer, sunny days are well on their way.

Ah yes, the crib to bed transition. For some, this is a long awaited move that you have looked forward to since your baby was little. For others, you may feel like someone needs to rip the crib out of your hands (this is me, 1000%), and you have been dreading this change.

In this post, I will tell you my recommendations on when this transition is most appropriate, and tips on how to make it go smoothly.

As they see their child’s sleep come together beautifully, parents are thrilled with this as we work together. But then, naturally, they start to panic thinking they will never be able to go to that birthday party, play group, family dinner, etc. Almost inevitably, I always get asked if they will be prisoner to this schedule forever to avoid the sleep troubles coming back.

“Falling back” an hour seems great until you are a parent and suddenly your little one doesn’t get the memo and is rising an hour earlier. Are you doomed to one less hour of sleep and walking around like a zombie until we “spring forward” again? Absolutely not. Depending on your child’s temperament, there are three main strategies for handling this adjustment with grace.

Is it possible to do this on your own? Absolutely. Will you begin (ha!) to lose your sanity along the way as you spend your life sifting through online articles and parenting groups? Potentially! The good news is you do not have to do this on your own! In this post, I am going to share with you my top three reasons for hiring a sleep consultant.
