69: Early Morning Waking Strategies (and Emily's Story) Jun 27, 2019

Show notes

Having an early riser can seem like just a part of being a parent, but there does come a point when 10 hours just isn’t enough! I’m always aiming for a minimum of 11, maximum of 12 hours of night time sleep for your baby. On today’s episode I’m sharing my strategies for solving early morning wakes, as well as giving concrete examples and stories from my experience dealing with them!

Thank you to Emily Webb who opens up and shares about her experience using Baby Sleep E-Coaching with her little one! Would you like to share your story? It’s easy!

68: Conquering Your Child's Bedtime Fears Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

Is your toddler or preschooler afraid of going to bed? Asking you to stay after saying goodnight? Making up stories about monsters in the room? Mild fears around bedtime is a common issue I work with for children ages 2.5 years and up. To tackle the ROOT of the fear, I’m sharing my strategies on how we can pour attention and praise over your child during the bedtime routine, and offer comforts to help ease their tensions when it’s time say goodnight.

Dealing with SEVERE fears? >>These tips might help, but I’d suggest finding a local family counselor to help you and your family sort through your child’s anxieties and stressors.

64: Ana’s Story + Sleep Is Not A Luxury May 23, 2019

Show notes

I recently had a mom ask, “My 1 year old wakes up multiple times a night to nurse. Is that normal?”

My response? OUR CULTURE says it’s normal. But that’s not what we should be considering normal.

Our culture says:

-Coffee first

-Rock them, they’re only little once.

-It’s a phase, one day they’ll sleep.

-I’m tired as a mother.

A well rested Mom says:

-I can enjoy my child more.

-My baby is happier and thriving.

-I’ll actually remember this time of parenting, instead of surviving.

-I’m a happier mom becasue we sleep.

Not only is this real, you can hear a REAL story from Ana at the end of this episode.
