Good sleep isn’t putting your baby down and walking away with the expectation that they will eventually fall asleep. It's about understanding all of your little one's sleep needs and knowing how to navigate these needs & cues on a day to day basis! 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 4 common reasons I see parents struggling with teaching their baby independent sleepings skils:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏰ Schedule & WW are off - An example of this would giving your baby a late bedtime (any time after 8/8:30PM) and having them take 5 naps when thy need 3 or 4 or giving them a 1.5 WW when they need 2. Babies need the right amount of sleep pressure to fall and stay asleep.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌝 Sleep environment - You have heard me time and time again talk about how important it is for your baby to sleep in a DARK evnironment for naps and night time sleep. A little bit of light can cause early morning wakings and short naps. Sound machines are your friend, use them to help block out external noise and keep your baby sleeping well thorugh their naps and night time sleep!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Consistency - Consistency is so key especially when it comes to teaching babies how to sleep well and independent sleeping skills. Consistency = clarity, inconsistency = confusion.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😣 Drowsy but awake - Once a baby has hit their 4 month regression, we want to put our babies in their crib awake, not drowsy. Putting a baby down drowsy often leads to more protest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A top question in my DMs is always “What is crib hour?” Let me break it down for you! ⬇️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your baby has taken a 30 minute nap and you go and get them out of the crib immediately, you aren’t giving them a chance to register they are tired and fall back asleep into another sleep cycle. The best way to teach your babies how to take those longer naps… is to give them the opportunity to do so! 😴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We time crib hour from the time babies fall asleep in their cribs, as opposed to the time we put them in their cribs awake (at the end of their wake windows). Babies are learning how to consolidate their daytime sleep cycles between 4 - 6 months, so nap length will likely be inconsistent!

Also, please don’t practice crib hour with babies under 4 months. Babies under 4 months often need help to connect their sleep cycles or may only be able to take 30 minute naps. It’s important that babies reach their 4 month regression before we can start teaching them independent sleeping skills 😴❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sleep is essential for both kids and parents, and finding the right pediatric sleep consultant can make all the difference! 💤👶

If you're searching for someone to help your family establish healthy sleep habits, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

🧸 Look for someone with experience working with children in your child's age range

🧸 Consider their approach and philosophy towards sleep training to ensure it aligns with your family's values

🧸 Read reviews and ask for referrals from friends or pediatricians you trust

🧸 Make sure you feel comfortable and confident with the consultant you choose. They'll be working closely with your family and your child's sleep is too important to trust with just anyone.

Remember, a good pediatric sleep consultant should provide personalized support and guidance to help you achieve your family's sleep goals.

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it 🍩 Sleep regressions are HARD! Just when we feel we have mastered our little one's sleep schedules, we get thrown a curveball knocking us off our schedule and daily routine. But here’s the thing, sleep regressions often coincide with developmental leaps, which are actually pretty exciting!

The best thing you can do is sit back and take a few long, deep breaths. Acknowledge that they are going through a sleep regression, give them some extra cuddles, love, and encouragement during their wake time. Practice their new skills with them but continue to let your baby also practice their independent sleeping skills!

If that’s something you’re struggling with, remember you aren't alone! Free reach to send me a DM or book a complimentary discovery call with me at the link in my bio. Would love to help! ❤️😴

Investing in and working with a sleep consultant is so much more than buying a sleep plan, or it should be. I honestly can't count how many families I have worked with who have said their friend sent them their baby's sleep plan and they tried following it, but it didn't work for them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Surprised? I'm not. While having a sleep plan to follow is important, the *secret* is that it also needs to be customized and tailored specifically for you little one's age, temperament, feeding schedule and your family's lifestyle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The plan is only one piece of the sleep puzzle, the rest is the support, encouragement and expertise that we pride ourselves on providing you. We help you figure out everything you need to know about your baby and toddler's sleep and how navigate through all of the challenges and pitfalls that can happen because babies and toddlers are not robots! They are there own little people with their own personalities and are always changing! 👶🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So remember when you are investing in a sleep consultant, you are investing in so much more than just a plan. You are investing in you and your family's physical and mental health.

A happy sleeping baby = happy sleeping parents! 😴☺️
