If your baby is NOT consistently sleeping through

If your baby is NOT consistently sleeping through the night, and you are doing less naps than what I age-appropriately recommend, you could be inadvertently getting in the way of the nighttime sleep you and your baby NEED!

Doing less naps than what I recommend typically means you are keeping your baby awake too long, which can cause them to become overtired. Over tiredness is one of the leading causes of disrupted nighttime sleep for infants and toddlers.

Consistently following an age-appropriate routine will help ensure your little one never becomes overtired, eats enough during the daytime hours (so there is no need to feed at night), and doesn’t sleep too long, so 12-hours of nighttime sleep is possible.

Consistently following an age-appropriate routine will also alleviate the need to ‘sleep train’ or cry it out because it will naturally allow your little one to sleep.

Nothing like making your way through the day with little people after staying out too late the night before… I don’t even drink but I honestly don’t know how parents do this whilst hung over…🤔😩

Dropping from 3 naps to 2 naps typically happens a

Dropping from 3 naps to 2 naps typically happens around 9 months old. While most nap transitions can feel hard, I found the 3 nap to 2 nap transition to be the hardest.

This was because I needed my babies to take 2 longer naps to be able to only need 2 naps, and as I transitioned the 2nd nap would sometimes be just short enough that is was impossible to fit in a 3rd nap without pushing bedtime too late…but without a 3rd nap, bedtime would either be too early or the last wake window would be too long…ALL things that made for cranky babies and potentially disrupted nighttime sleep.

So what do I recommend when dropping from 3 naps to 2 naps?

- If you have an early start of day (6am or earlier) you will still need 3 naps. The 3 naps will need to all be short, so bedtime doesn’t fall past 7:30pm. Do this to “reset” to a later start of day…
- If you have a “normal” start of day time, help extend babies naps so Nap #2 ends around 3pm and you can do a 6:30pm bedtime.
- Vacillate between 3 naps and 2 naps until 2 naps happens more easily. Just make sure you don’t exceed total daytime sleep for all naps, based on age

It’s really common to use different daytime routines from day to day. Having that flexibility (within an age-appropriate routine) will actually help you keep your sleep and avoid any major sleep disruptions. I’d love to show you how...

There is NO replacement for sleep. This is true fo

There is NO replacement for sleep. This is true for you. This is true for your baby.

Human beings NEED sleep to function optimally and survive. Tiny humans included.

Why is it then that millions of parents are accepting sleepless nights as normal? Has no one stepped back and questioned what biological function would be served by being up around the clock (besides the need to meet baby’s food needs fully before they can physically consume enough in the daytime hours to not need to eat at night)?

Most professionals who claim it’s “normal” to be up around the clock with baby for the first year(s) say that it’s biologically normal. But how? And why?
Sleep is arguably one of the most biological functions we have. No animal can survive without it.

So why wouldn’t this apply to babies? I think the answer is, it DOES apply. And this is what my work has shown me with thousands of babies and families. Sleep naturally happens when needs are fully and age-appropriately met during the daytime. I consistently see this happen between 8 - 12 WEEKS old, which is ironically (or not so ironically) when it’s believed circadian rhythm can be set and also the age where an average size baby can consume enough calories in the daytime, to not need to be up and eat at night.

I believe when you make decisions from birth (or anytime) to meet your baby’s age-appropriate needs fully, you allow nature/biology to take over and the sleep naturally follows…without having to “sleep train” and without having to “cry it out”.

I would love to show you how and help you choose sleep for your family… For as little as $9.99/month, you can meet this basic human need for your family!

I’m going to tell you what no one else will…comfort nursing can prevent you (& your baby) from sleeping through the night, because it can make establishing circadian rhythm very difficult. This is ironic to me because most parents are told that comfort nursing actually HELPS a baby to sleep better by increasing those “feel good” hormones and allowing for less “awake” time at night.

What no one is telling you is just how physically exhausting comfort nursing can become…and that as long as your are offering your baby food at night, they will continue to wake for it. So if you get into the “habit” of offering your breast as a human pacifier every hour at night (which is what often happens), baby’s biological systems (and yours) are going to struggle to determine night from day, and you will continue to struggle to get any sleep consistency at night.

The sad part of this is I truly don’t think parents know that there are other amazing ways to comfort a baby that will give all of the same benefits touted by comfort nursing — attachment, security, warmth, etc. — and these other ways will NOT get in the way of establishing sleep, which is a non-negotiable, basic human need for which we have no alternative way of meeting.

And here’s the fun part, you don’t have to give up breastfeeding or comforting your baby/toddler in any way to achieve consistent nighttime sleep. In fact, breastfeeding fully and frequently will not only help you to establish & maintain your milk supply, but it will also help you achieve consistent nighttime sleep. Holding, rocking, and helping your baby/toddler to sleep (all great ways to connect & provide comfort) will also help you achieve consistent nighttime sleep.

To me, sleep is far more valuable in our lives than people make it, and I would love to show you just how to achieve that by 8 - 12 weeks old…naturally…without “sleep training”…without “crying it out”…with a LOT of love, support, security, and warmth.

She made the fatal mistake of laying down after dinner😩

I don’t care how tight your routine is (and mine is pretty tight) sometimes I just don’t feel like I have it in me, and yet somehow everyone is bathed, happy, and in bed!

I know these reels align us all on how mother f-ing exhausting parenting can be, but can I also just say I am so blown away by how we always make it happen. Somehow. Someway. We do the thing and that’s something to celebrate together too!
