29: Sleep Training & Breastfeeding- You Can Do Both! Sep 20, 2018

Show notes

Have you ever felt nervous about sleep training because you wanted to continue nursing, but you were told you couldn't possibly sleep train while nursing? The idea that you have to either choose SLEEP or NURSING is totally mythical. You can do both! On today's podcast I'm asking Lactation Educator (and former client) Carly Looney all about this idea that we have to give up nursing to sleep train. Spoiler: She is nursing her 16 month old while we talk, so it IS a myth! Carly shares how it is possible to both nurse and sleep train. We also talk about how to maintain your supply during the process while keeping comfortable during the night when your baby sleeps through!

27: Enemies of Sleep Training Sep 06, 2018

Show notes

The benefits of sleep training are endless! However, not everyone is ready to make change in baby's sleep. Change is hard, and especially for a few specific people in your child's life.

In this episode Becca is walking you through the people who you really need to prepare before beginning your sleep training journey! Both Grandparents and Siblings are wonderful cheerleaders for your child, but often can cause some woes in sleep training methods.

Learn practical strategies on how to prepare Grandma & Grandpa (or Aunts & Uncles!) for sleep training. We want them on our side, but it's best to have your plan outlined in detail so they can easily participate!!

For your older kiddos, let's make sure they are also full read-in on what's about to happen. Let them know sleep training is happening, and support their individual emotions through the process too.

*I love the Dohm Sound Machine for an extra layer of "noise" between Baby & Sibling!*

21: Nightmares & Night Terrors: The Difference & Helping Your Child Cope Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Throughout my work with clients I've found Nightmares and Night Terrors are vastly misunderstood. On today's episode I aim to educate you on the difference between night mares and night terrors, as well as give you strategies to help you child cope with either one.

Nightmares

Nightmares tend to occur several hours after going to bed or in the very early hours of the morning during REM sleep.
Children DO respond to comfort and reassurance. They also may be reluctant to go back to sleep until they feel safe.
Nightmares occur during the stage of sleep when the brain is very active and sorting through experiences and new information for learning and memory. Since these images are so vivid your child might not be able to distinguish what’s real and what’s not real.

Night Terrors

Night Terrors tend to occur 2-3 hours after going to bed and during deep non-REM sleep.
Only children ages 2.5 years + can experience a night terror
Children DO NOT respond to efforts of comfort and reassurance and it’s best not to wake them during a Night Terror.
Children will not remember Night Terrors and are not awake during their episodes. There are no mental images for the child to recall from their experience.

Overtiredness is one main cause for both night mares and night terrors. To help your child work through these, try adjusting their bedtime 15 minutes earlier to see a difference in their sleep.

20: How To Get Your Kids To Sleep Later! Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

Waking up between 4-6am is the most common (and most frustrating) problem my clients experience! And guess what? I actually expect this problem to arise once your child learns to consistently sleep 11-12 hours. So how do we fix it? In this episode I'm sharing strategies to solve your child's early morning wakes by sharing two case studies from former clients.

Check the Environment:

1. Create a room that is as dark as possible. >>THESE are my favorite blackout window covers!

2. White noise to protect your child's room from the environment >>This is my favorite white noise machine!

3. No distractions in the crib or bed!

Now stop doing this:

1. Instant gratification!

2. Delay first bottle/nursing session

3. Avoid instant snuggles/snoozes in your bed

**Remember to give it some time! Once you begin implementing strategies it can take 4-6 weeks to "re-wire" your child's habits!**
