🍼Every time you feed your baby, it is a new opportunity to achieve a full feed. Starting full feeds from birth will help you to achieve consistent nighttime sleep!

❓How do you obtain full feeds you ask? You put in the work during the day to make sure your baby is fully fed at each feed, so you can sleep at night!

👇🏻 Some tips for achieving full feedings:

👷🏽‍♀️ WORK AT IT. Feeding is NOT passive. Actively work to ensure your baby takes a full feeding.

🤫 FEED IN A QUIET ENVIRONMENT. Avoid distractions while feeding and this will help.

🫧 BURP WELL. Trapped gas can often mask as “full” so make sure to burp frequently so you can achieve a full feeding.

⏱️ PACE THE FEED. Slow the feed down so baby doesn’t eat too fast. This will help achieve full feeds.

🍼 Comment BOTTLE and DM me your baby’s age in weeks for my suggested bottle amount per feed!

🤱🏻 EBF moms, I know what you’re thinking…“How do I know if my baby is fully fed if I’m nursing?!” - (FAQ I receive), comment EBF + your baby’s age (in weeks) for the answer!

Transitioning to the crib? Here’s how to make it

Transitioning to the crib? Here’s how to make it a smooth one👇🏻:

Whether you are transitioning to the crib from the popular Snoo (@happiest_baby) or another smart bassinet, I wanted to give you some helpful tips:

💬 THINK AHEAD. It is recommend to stop using a bassinet between 4 - 6 months of age so you want to make sure you keep that in mind and don’t have to make a sudden transition (which can surely disrupt sleep).

😴 ONCE BABY IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT…I highly recommend preemptively starting to practice for some crib naps each day...

👍🏻 IT’S PRACTICE. Try one time a day for a crib nap at first!!!

🌙 WORK TO KEEP THEM ASLEEP IN CRIB FOR PRACTICE NAP. If they wake early from their nap, try to work to get them back to sleep in the crib. Doing this once a day will help get them used to sleeping in the crib.

☝🏻 ONCE YOU GET ONE NAP, try for 2 naps, and onward you go until they are comfortable sleeping in the crib for all sleeps.

💁🏻‍♂️ HELP THEM AS NEEDED. Everyone needs help every now and then…transitioning to the crib is no different. Don’t be afraid to assist them in going to sleep in this new environment.

🧘🏽 BE PATIENT. It can take time to learn how to do this, which is why I recommend starting the transition process before you HAVE to transition them. Takes the pressure off you and baby!!!

Having trouble with your toddler’s sleep? One o

Having trouble with your toddler’s sleep?

One of the main causes of sleep disruptions in toddlers (12+ months old) is over tiredness.

Over tiredness happens when your toddler stays awake longer than they should.

Yes, yes…I know your toddler can stay awake longer (😜) than I recommend, but it may be the cause of the sleep disruption you are experiencing.

When your toddler is overtired, it can cause:

1️⃣ Difficult naps (think fighting naps or refusing naps)
2️⃣ Short naps
3️⃣ Difficult bedtime (think tears, upset, and excuse after excuse to stay awake)
4️⃣ New night wakes
5️⃣ Early morning wakes

If you want to learn an easier, better way to get your toddler to sleep, without the fight and tears,

🍼Bottle or 🤱🏻breast...fully fed is BEST!!

🍼Bottle or 🤱🏻breast...fully fed is BEST!!! Here’s why👇🏻

Feeding your baby fully at each and every feed is the best choice for a number of reasons:

⏰ It will NATURALLY help you space your daytime feeds to every 2-3 hours which is normal and sustainable.
➖ Feeding sooner than every 2 hours is NOT sustainable long term.

😴 It will HELP your baby sleep better. Hungry babies DO NOT sleep well so making sure your baby is full each time you feed is an essential ingredient for sleep, day and night!
➖ As I always say, “half feeds get you half sleeps!” so choosing to feed fully is what I recommend.

📈 It helps support growth and development. Feeding fully will ensure your baby is getting the calories they need, as well as the sleep they need, and this will help support age-appropriate growth and development.

🧹 It minimizes workload. If you are having to add more daytime/nighttime feeds in because your feeds are NOT full, that is going to make for a heavier workload for you…and we (literally) don’t have time for that!

🥅 The GOAL is make sure your baby’s needs are met. That is 🔑!!

‼️ I don’t suggest compromising full feedings in favor of feeding a certain way. Fully fed is the best choice you can make and I would love to support you in getting there!

Tips for naps on-the-go 🏃🏼‍♀️↓ You

Tips for naps on-the-go 🏃🏼‍♀️↓

You want to get out of the house with your little one!!! I get it…

💁🏻‍♀️ Here are some tips for keeping your age-appropriate nap routine on-the-go!!

📍 PLAN AHEAD. Think through your day and loosely map out how many “sleeps” your little one will need while you are out. Bonus points for knowing general timings of where you will be for nap time so you can prepare as much as possible to make it happen.

⏰ SET TIMERS. Timers are a great way to know when you need to start working for your baby to nap. Typically we allow 15 minutes at home to unwind and fall asleep, but you may need more time while you’re out.

💪🏻 BE FLEXIBLE. I say this for everything but be flexible with how naps look. It’s okay to hold your baby, rock your baby, have a shorter nap, etc. Just work to have baby asleep by their age-appropriate Optimal Wake Time with sleeps in between and you will be 💰!!

🥅 The GOAL is to maintain a daily routine that is age-appropriate. Short naps & extra naps are FINE!!! Just make sure your little one doesn’t become overtired. That is 🔑!!

💆🏻‍♀️TRY TO RELAX & ENJOY. You are leaving the house for a reason. Try to enjoy yourself and if your routine gets completely messed up, well, tomorrow is a new day to (stay home) and try again! HA!

You can and should make sure you are getting out of the house with (or without) your little one! It’s good for you and with a little planning, you can keep your routine in place, which is one of the main ingredients in consistent nighttime sleep.

Why consistency with your baby’s routine is 🔑

Why consistency with your baby’s routine is 🔑↓

🍼 Sleep is directly related to being fully fed. If your baby doesn’t get the same amount of age-appropriate daytime calories each day, they will have inconsistent sleep.

⏰ Daytime sleep must be age-appropriately limited. If a baby or toddler sleeps “more” than they should on any given day, it can lead to nighttime sleep disruptions.

😿 If your baby has varying / inconsistent wake windows, it can lead to over tiredness and that can wreck havoc on the nighttime sleep you all NEED.

🥅 The GOAL is to maintain a daily routine that is age-appropriate. This means it CHANGES as baby gets older.

❌ If you are inconsistent, your baby probably will be too.

Some tips for being more consistent:

🙆🏻‍♀️ BE FLEXIBLE. Think working towards the same # of feeds every day instead of worrying about clock times of feeds.

👋🏻 HELP YOUR BABY. If you help your baby, they will be better able to maintain their routine. No, it won’t create a bad habit…I promise!

🥇 KEEP OUTLINE OF ROUTINE IN PLACE, and consistently do your best to make sure you baby is fully fed, not sleeping too much, and not staying awake too long and you will be well on your way towards consistent nighttime sleep!
