49: How To Choose A Sleep Consultant Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

Choosing a Sleep Consultant is a big deal! You're inviting them into your home (literally or virtually!) to change your family's sleep situation. While in many part of the world, having a Sleep Consultant is very normal...here in the United States it's still "Wait, that's a thing?" YES! We can help your child sleep! Who wouldn't want that?!

In this episode Becca shares 3 ways you can know if a certain Sleep Consultant is right for you, and 3 things that you need to do to see success with them!

Find Your Preference: Looking for someone to come into your home? Prefer to work virtually? CIO? No-Cry Sleep? Or somewhere in the middle? There are so many different ways you can engage in sleep training, so just spend some time getting to know what's out there!
Know Their Personality: You're about to get really intimate with this person! For a few weeks we'll be coaching you through the emotional rollercoaster that is sleep training, and you'll want to make sure you like the person coaching you! Before you begin any 1:1 coaching, hop on the phone with the Consultant and make sure you like their personality and they make you feel comfortable (never judging you!).
Are They Practical For Your Family: Does your little one have a medical condition they need to know about? Ask if they've ever worked with this before, and see if they are willing to lean + grow by working with you. What abut their cost? While a good night sleep is actually priceless, don't ever hire cheap help- and know what you're getting with your investment!

Finally, when you commit to working with a consultant, please be mindful of these 3 things:

Be committed. Don't go off sticking your nose in other strategies or consultants or blogs. Trust the person you've decided to work with!
Be honest. I always want my clients to share what they are thinking and feeling, otherwise I can't help them fully!! We're all a team, so keep your consultant in the loop on how you're doing emotionally during this process.
Be nice. The golden rule, right? Treat others as you would wish to be treated. It's easy to be rude when you're not seeing results. But being honest about your frustrations is the nice way- being rude about things won't get you far! Just be nice to the person who is working their butt off to help you!

44: How To Know If You're Ready To Sleep Train Jan 03, 2019

Show notes

So you have a sleepless child, but your'e hesitating about making change. It's okay! I get it! Over the years I've talked with so many families who are READY...and many families who want to make change, but aren't ready to commit. I'm sharing 3 ways you know you're ready to GET STARTED and make lasting change.

SLEEP TRAINING BY AGES:

NEWBORN- no sleep training! It's time to lay the foundation for great sleep with my Newborn Course.
4 MONTHS- Time to teach baby to self-soothe, and narrow it down to 1 good night feed...eat eat eat during the day!! We also want to establish a great napping routine for baby.
5 MONTHS + - Let's sleep all night!! We need to teach baby that sleep IS a thing, and they are in control! At 6 months we are working towards a solid nap schedule.
TODDLER + - It's never too late to make great sleep! Yes it gets harder as the child ages, but that doesn't mean it's impossible! We're aiming for 10-12 hours of night sleep and (if under 3 years) a nice mid-day nap. The key? Sleep should be stress-free!!

41: Let's Solve Short Naps! Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

Raise your hand if your child is the master of the 30 minute nap?! Or maybe you've nailed it down to exactly 33 minutes?! Yes, I hear that ALL the time! Short naps are for sure a common theme with my clients, and we work hard to solve them! What's the reason behind them? Daytime sleep cycles around about (you guessed it) 30 minutes! So typically the child is waking up after one sleep cycle and not really sure how to go back to sleep. On this week's podcast I'm sharing this checklist:

What's baby looking for?
How's the environment?
Know your age expectations!

We see the Dock-A-Tot and Rock-N-Play everywhere! In fact, they tend to be the #1 items recommended on registry lists! However, there are so many reasons these two items really should be avoided, and are not recommended (even banned) by research and government agencies.

In this episode I'm sharing my biggest problems with the Dock-A-Tot, Rock-N-Play & the Snoo.
