Hooray for some warmer weather and sun!!!! ☀️

As the weather begins to change, make every effort to get outside with your children. The sun establishes each person’s circadian rhythm. This reminds the body when to stop the cortisol production and encourages proper melatonin levels.

If you’re finding you need to give your child melatonin before bed it’s possible changes should be made to your child’s sleep needs throughout the day. 😴

Testimonial Tuesday! Meet this sweet little bunny Luca 💙 Luca’s parents Mike and Mandy called me as Luca was transitioning from the newborn to baby phase.

Weeks 13-16 can bring a number of challenges as baby learns new skills. At this time, parents are also desperate for a full nights sleep.

Luca has two older sisters so everyone was ready for him to sleep 11-12 hours per night and nap longer then 45 minutes 😳 Luca really fought dropping the final night feeding and long naps but I kept encouraging Mike and Mandy to trust the process. Within a few weeks, we learned Luca prefers to stretch his awake time and needs time to wake up for 30 minutes before consuming his next bottle. Once we figured him out, he began sleeping through the night and consistently napping 💪🏻

Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful family! 🥰😴👶🏻

Do you have a baby that will only nap 35-45 minutes? Ahhhhh!!! This is called “the 45 minute intruder!” 😩

This post explains why… baby sleep cycles are only 45 min in length. At which point, your baby will come to the surface of sleep.

If baby wakes up happy, then time to get up. If baby wakes crying, more sleep is needed.

Wait 15 minutes before intervening to see if your baby can fall back asleep (watch your baby on the video monitor for safety) and connect two sleep cycles! 🙏🏻

This takes practice, keep trying at the end of each nap to extend the length. This process will promote sleep independence ultimately helping your baby sleep through the night. 🎉❤️😴

Testimonial Tuesday! Meet sweet Grace-Evangeline ❤️ This cutie pie was fighting independent sleep with every effort. She would only sleep for long periods of time on mom or dad, naps occurred in her reclined high chair, and she would only sleep in her crib after the dreaded transfer (most of the time she woke up and the process began again). Ahhhh! Needless to say, everyone was exhausted.

Spencer and Patricia put their trust in the sleep plan and successfully removed all of Grace-Evangeline’s sleep props. Once Grace-Evangeline realized her crib was a place for her to sleep independently and began taking age appropriate naps throughout the day our girl began sleeping 11 hours each night!

I am so proud of this beautiful family! Thank you for trusting me with your baby 🥰❤️😴
