As baby grows from birth each week, their stomach

As baby grows from birth each week, their stomach gets bigger, and they can hold more food. As we work to keep this "full" at every age, they start to stretch the time between feeds (at night), because the food they consume during the daytime becomes enough to sustain them fully.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why we focus on making sure baby is fully fed during the daytime hours. If you do this + work to maintain an age-appropriate daytime routine (where baby is never staying awake too long and not sleep too much), your baby WILL start to naturally lengthen the time between their nighttime feeds.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when they lengthen the time between feeds at night, they sleep. Naturally. There is nothing to "do". You don't have to let your baby cry. You don't have to withhold meeting their basic human needs to "force" sleep. You don't have to worry about stretching sleep, as it will naturally happen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have created a really simple, 3-step method, that will teach you how to do this... Welcome to the beginning of the end of your sleepless nights, mama!!! Let's do this! Link in bio...

Mama, PLEASE hold your baby. Mama, PLEASE don't l

Mama, PLEASE hold your baby.
Mama, PLEASE don't let anyone make you feel guilty about rocking your baby to sleep.
Mama, holding your baby is the best thing you can do to create a great sleeper.
Mama, ENJOY holding your baby, rocking them, and helping them, knowing you are making the BEST choice to work on establishing consistent nighttime sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why is this?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because when you hold your baby, and rock them to sleep, you can help to ensure they never become overly tired in any period, and that is far more important of an ingredient in consistent nighttime sleep, than struggling to teach them to fall asleep independently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once baby is consistently sleeping at night, it will be easier to teach them to self-soothe, without crying. I promise!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sleep and responsive/loving parenting can and should exist together, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Sleep can also exist WITHOUT CRYING IT OUT...it's called The Full Feedings Method and I would love to tell you more about it!

Coming off a rough night of sleep with your little one, mama?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I still suggesting starting their day by 7:30am at the latest AND limiting their total daytime sleep to what is age-appropriate, otherwise, you can add to and/or create the very sleep problem. you are trying to solve.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As humans, each of us can only sleep "x" amount of hours in a 24-hour period. If you allow your baby to sleep too long during the daytime (or more than what is recommend to get 12-hours of sleep at night), there is a good chance they will wake at night, and NOBODY wants that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Common occurrence: Baby has a terrible night of sleep last night. Mom and baby sleep in, and mom lets baby "catch up" on sleep during the daytime. This causes a new, terrible night of sleep tonight and we get into a bad cycle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do we fix it? ALWAYS LIMIT BABY'S DAYTIME SLEEP, EVEN AFTER A BAD NIGHT (to what is age-appropriate), and I promise you will be well on your way to consistent nighttime sleep...💫

On the day you were born, I wasn't ready... I was

On the day you were born, I wasn't ready...

I wasn't ready physically, being only 36 weeks along.
I wasn't ready mentally, because you were my first.
And I wasn't ready emotionally, because until December 2, 2015, I had no idea what love was.

You are love. Pure love, my dear.
My love.
You've made me a woman.
You've made me a mother.
You've made me want to be the best damn version of myself. You've burst open my heart, and given me the most unconditional love I have ever known.

You have gotten me through some of the toughest moments life can throw our way. And while you may not know it just yet, you are EXTRAORDINARY. Beautiful, inside and out. Kind. Loving. Caring. Funny. Gentle. Tough. Intelligent. And brave. The world is yours for the taking and I will be here, every step of the way, to guide you to the fullest of your greatness.

Happy 6th Birthday, my darling Frankie. Not a day goes by that I don't feel like the luckiest woman alive to be your mama.💫

If your baby is doing less naps than what this cha

If your baby is doing less naps than what this chart says and is NOT sleeping through the night, you should make some changes to your daytime routine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Less naps than this means your baby is either staying awake too long or sleeping too much during the day, both of which can negatively impact baby's ability to consistently sleep through the night.

If you need some help with where to start, click the link in my bio to check out The Full Feedings Method Online Program, where I will teach you a simple, 3-step method to get your baby to sleep through the night by 8 - 12 weeks old, without crying it out. The Online Program also provides you with Monthly Guides to show you exactly what baby's day should look like to achieve consistent nighttime sleep, and a searchable Other Ingredients section with over 80+ videos and 50+ PDF's to help you troubleshoot any problems that may arise.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For my INFANT program, you can begin at any age up to 12 months old, but the sooner you start, the easier it will be... For as little as $9.99/month (3-month minimum) you can establish and maintain consistent nighttime sleep for your family. I also offer various other email and/or phone support options, too, so there is no excuse not to choose sleep for your family.

Appropriate daytime sleep is the key to consistent nighttime sleep. If your baby is staying awake too long or sleeping too much during the day, you could be preventing the consistent nighttime sleep I know you want.
