✨Let’s face it. Short naps are a real bummer. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve planned out all the things I want to get done during nap time and then BAM my kid has an unexpected short nap 🤦🏼‍♀️

✨Even though short naps aren’t great for anyone, there is a silver lining! On the days your little one is struggling with short naps, whip out that early bedtime card! I’m talking early, early, folks!

✨The earliest I’d go is 5:30pm for most little ones, but you can adjust depending on your typical schedule.

An early bedtime can:
✔️ Help make up some of that lost day time sleep
✔️ Give your little one some more of that deep restorative night time sleep that only happens in the first part of the night
✔️ Prevent your little one from becoming severely overtired
✔️ Prevent a second wind
✔️ Prevent bedtime battles
✔️ Prevent night wakings and/or early mornings
✔️ Save your sanity and give you some much needed kid free time 🙌🏼

✨Now, I’m all for early bedtimes, but if your little one is continually struggling with short naps, let’s chat more! Early bedtimes are magical, but they aren’t so magical that they can replace naps altogether.

✨Routines & Travel✨

✨I can’t tell you how many parents have asked me this. “If your child is so attached to his/her sleep routine/structure/schedule, doesn’t it make it harder when you travel? I want my little one to be flexible and be able to sleep anywhere!”

✨So many people think that having a consistent sleep routine and schedule will make their child unable to sleep under any other conditions. Well, friends, it’s actually quite the opposite! When your child is a confident, independent sleeper at home, it makes sleep on the go EASIER!

✨Using your consistent sleep routine when you are traveling cue’s your child’s brain that sleep is coming. They know exactly what to expect, and it makes sleeping in unfamiliar places more comforting and soothing.

✨My 9 month old, Avery, and I recently went on a trip to the east coast. We had long plane rides, long car rides, and even some boat rides on our travel days. I stuck to Avery’s normal nap times as if we were at home. When it was time for a nap, I did her normal sleep routine - nurse, diaper change, sleep sack, sound machine. Whether we were on the airplane, in a bus, or in an unfamiliar hotel room, Avery knew exactly what to do.

✨Did every nap go perfectly? Of course not! The loud speaker on the airplane woke her up. One of our hotels didn’t have blackout curtains, so the light woke her up early one morning. We hit unexpected traffic in the bus, so one nap was cut short. But, for the most part, she did a fantastic job! She stayed on her regular sleep schedule, knew exactly what was coming when we did her sleep routine, and she was well rested for the majority of the trip.

✨Having consistency around sleep at home makes our little ones more adaptable and flexible when we have to sleep on the go or in unfamiliar places. Also, a sleeping baby on an airplane might be my new favorite thing. Avery was truly living her best life on this trip 🥰

✨Motion Sleep✨

✨Before we dive in, please know that if your baby is younger than 4 months, this post doesn’t apply to you!

✨Many little ones can easily fall asleep when there’s motion involved - in a swing, being rocked, in a stroller, in a car seat, etc. So, why does motion sleep get such a bad rap?

✨Motion sleep is simply not as restorative as stationary sleep in a bassinet, crib, or bed. We don’t enter the deep stages of REM when we sleep in motion. This is usually why we (and our little ones) tend to wake more easily from motion sleep. I swear my daughter can sense the car slowing down from a mile away 🤦🏼‍♀️ In addition to that, if we are using motion sleep often with our little ones, they will begin to build an association with motion and sleep, and, eventually, they may become dependent on motion to sleep.

✨Think about a time you took a nap while you were in a car. Did you feel rested after the nap? Maybe, but probably not as rested as you’d feel after a nap in your bed! Motion sleep isn’t useless, it’s just not the same quality as stationary sleep in an appropriate sleep space.

✨However, life happens, friends, and sometimes we need our littles to nap on the go. Remember the 80/20 rule - I’d aim to have 80% of your child’s naps at home in a stationary crib or bassinet. If you need to have motion naps for the other 20% of the time, that’s okay!

✨Some little ones are more tolerant of motion sleep than others. If your little one is struggling with naps on the go, you can ⬇️
✔️ Bring a sound machine
✔️ Get a window shade
✔️ Try to not make frequent stops
✔️ Lower your expectations

✨If your baby or toddler is only able to sleep while in motion, let’s chat! We want to take advantage of that deep, restorative sleep that only happens in a crib or bassinet.

*** It’s important to note that the AAP guidelines recommend always placing babies under 1 on their backs in a crib or bassinet for all sleep. All motion naps need to be supervised by an adult at all times.

✨World Breastfeeding Week✨

✨This week brings up a lot of emotions for people. Some loved breastfeeding. Some hated it. Some did it but didn’t want to. Some couldn’t do it and desperately wanted to. Some feel indifferent about it. Whatever your journey is or isn’t with breastfeeding, you are the best mama in the world for that baby. Fed is always, always, always best, no matter what that looks like.

✨If you are on a breastfeeding journey, you’ll likely know by now that breastfeeding and sleep are often closely intertwined, especially in those first several months. I hear so many common misconceptions about breastfeeding and sleep.

➡️ “Breastfed babies just aren’t good sleepers.”
➡️ “My baby can’t sleep through the night because I’m breastfeeding.”
➡️ “I can’t sleep train my baby because I’m breastfeeding.”
➡️ “Sleep training will negatively affect my breastfeeding relationship.”

✨Here’s the truth, friends - you don’t need to choose between breastfeeding and good sleep! It is 100% possible to have both! How you feed your baby does not determine what kind of sleeper they are or can be.

✨My first baby was formula fed, and my second is breastfed, and they are both great little sleepers! Remember that feeding is just one piece of the sleep puzzle. There is so much more to it - soothing routines, timing of sleep, sleep environment, and fostering self soothing skills, to name a few.

✨Sickness & Sleep✨

✨Having sick little ones might be my least favorite part of parenthood! No one wants to see their child in any pain or discomfort, and, chances are, you are going to catch whatever they have at some point. We had a nasty cold sweep through our house a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you, it was no fun for anyone 🙅🏼‍♀️

✨On top of that, sleep is likely going to be disrupted when they are sick, which is a real bummer because sleep is truly the best medicine! Naps might be shorter than usual, and your baby might have more night wakings than usual.

Here are some tips to help you survive the sickness and maximize your sleep ⬇️

✔️ Stick to your normal routine as best as you can. This can be difficult, but being consistent can work wonders even during sickness.
✔️ Don’t cap naps. Your baby might need some extra sleep during this time. Their bodies are working hard to make them healthy again!
✔️ Use an earlier bedtime. Your baby might be extra tired from the sickness, short naps, or both! An early bedtime will help them get some much needed extra rest.
✔️ Offer an extra nap. If your baby is more tired than usual, or if your baby struggled with short naps, you might need to offer an extra nap in the late afternoon.
✔️ Offer frequent feedings throughout the day to stay hydrated.
✔️ All sleep rules can go out of the window. Yep, I said it! If you need to help your baby get to sleep (rubbing their back, rocking, etc), then you go for it. Just be sure to go back to your normal routine once the sickness passes.
✔️ Give yourself and your baby lots of grace and patience. Sickness is tough, but this too shall pass!

✨Sending love and support to all those mommies and daddies out there with sick little ones. Hang in there! 💛

✨Here is a reminder that every child is different!✨

✨In this world where parents seem to constantly compare their babies, it is so important to take a step back and understand that all babies are different, and what works for one child might not work for another.

✨Yes, there are similarities. Yes, there are averages. Yes, there are recommendations based on age. But, everything is a spectrum. It’s not black and white. Your baby may fall on either end of the spectrum or right in the middle. Your baby might fall outside of the spectrum. That’s okay.

✨Here are my two little loves. Eli didn’t fully drop his third nap until 11 months. Most babies drop the third nap around 8 months. He typically took three 1.5 hour naps throughout the day. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Avery started dropping her third nap around 5 months! She typically takes two 2/2.5 hour naps.

✨I did everything exactly the same with Eli and Avery when it came to sleep. So, I was pretty shocked when Avery started dropping that third nap so early, but I took a step back and looked at the big picture. Both kids ⬇️
✔️ Had normal morning wake times (7/7:30am)
✔️ Had similar total daytime sleep (about 4 hours)
✔️ Were happy, content, and well rested babies throughout the day. They had no signs of being overtired.
✔️ Were happily making it to bedtime
✔️ Had normal bedtimes (7-8pm)
✔️ Did not have any night wakings

✨Even though one held on to his third nap until 11 months, and the other kissed that nap goodbye at 5 months, both kids were meeting their sleep needs and were happy, well rested kiddos without any sleep issues. Sounds golden to me! 🙌🏼

✨Don’t stress if your baby doesn’t follow the averages to a T. If your baby is happy and well rested, then what you’re doing is absolutely perfect!

✨Now, if your baby is straying from the typical averages/recommendations and isn’t happy and well rested, then let’s chat and figure out what’s going on! 💛

✨Juggling Nap Schedules✨

✨Before I became a parent, I had no idea that my life would soon revolve around nap schedules. It’s like a never ending math problem - we need to leave the house at this time, play at the park for this long, be in the car by this time so no one falls asleep on the way home, eat lunch, and take a nap. Who else can relate? 🙋🏼‍♀️

✨We recently added a second tiny human to our family, and if you think juggling one child’s nap schedule is a lot, don’t even think about juggling two or more nap schedules 🥴

✨I currently have a 2 year old on a 1 nap schedule and a 5 month old on a 3 nap schedule. It can sometimes feel like I am in a never ending nap jail. It’s easy to feel like you’re trapped in your own house when someone is always sleeping.

✨Yes, sleep is important. Yes, naps are important. But so is your mental health. You can’t stay inside all day and feel completely tied down to the nap schedule. Hop onto my stories today to see how we juggle two different nap schedules. Nap time is my favorite time of the day, and we want those naps to work for us, not against us!

✨Tummy Sleep✨

🙋🏼‍♀️ Raise a hand if you’ve played the “roll baby back on her back 2,946 times per night” game. Just me? 😂

✨ The AAP recommends that you always place baby on her back to sleep for the first year of life. So, when is it okay to let baby sleep on her tummy?

✨Once baby is able to roll onto her tummy on her own, then it is okay to leave her there.

✨Many babies will be able to roll from back to tummy, but not tummy to back. So baby rolls on her tummy, gets stuck, and starts crying. You go in to flip her over, and by the time you leave the room and look at the monitor, baby is back on her tummy and crying again 😫

✨So what should you do?

✨I don’t recommend playing the roll baby back a thousand times game. It’s just not a sustainable solution. It’s frustrating for you, it’s frustrating for baby, and you can lose hours of precious sleep playing it.

✨Here’s what you can do instead:

✔️ Let baby learn how to fall asleep on her tummy. This will take time. Be patient. Feel free to rub or pat baby’s back and offer support while she is falling asleep.

✔️ Do lots and lots of tummy time practice during the day. The more comfortable baby is with tummy time, the less uncomfortable she will be at night when she is sleeping on her tummy. Tummy time can also help her learn how to roll from tummy to back, so she doesn’t get stuck on her tummy.

✔️ Use the Magic Merlin suit. If your baby is still struggling with tummy sleep after a week, it might be worth trying the Magic Merlin sleep suit. The suit prevents your little one from rolling during sleep. Once baby is able roll in the suit, then it’s time to transition out of the suit. Hopefully, by then, baby will be able to roll both ways and tummy sleep shouldn’t be as big of a problem.

✨Transitioning out of the swaddle✨

✨The day has come… baby has learned how to roll! It’s so exciting to see our little babies grow, develop, and learn new things. But, for many, it can be stressful thinking about how that out of the swaddle transition is going to go.

✨Some babies will have no problem transitioning out of the swaddle, especially if they aren’t super early rollers. For others, transitioning out of the swaddle can be a process. It can take time to adjust, but please know, they will adjust.

✨Here are some options on how to approach the out of the swaddle transition:

Option #1: Get rid of it cold turkey
➡️ Immediately transition to a sleep sack and kiss that swaddle goodbye. While this can be tough for some babies in the beginning, most little ones are able to adjust within 3-7 days.

Option #2: One arm out, one arm in
➡️ For a few days, only swaddle one arm in and leave the other arm out. After a few more days, swaddle around the body but leave both arms out. From there, you can continue to swaddle the body, or you can transition to a sleep sack.

Option #3: Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit
➡️ If your little one is really struggling without the swaddle, the Magic Merlin Sleepsuit can be a great transitional tool. The suit prevents baby from rolling and can suppress the Moro reflex a bit. Once baby is able to roll while wearing the suit, it is no longer safe, and it will be time to transition to a regular sleep sack.

✨If you are approaching this transition or in the middle of it, and you are kicking yourself for using a swaddle in the first place, please remember that using a swaddle with a newborn is completely developmentally appropriate. That swaddle helped your baby sleep for the last several months. Now, your baby is developmentally ready to sleep without that swaddle. And they can do it. As with any transition, be patient, give yourself and your little one grace, and trust the process 💛

✨Let’s bust another myth!✨

“I can’t nurse/feed my baby before nap time and/or bedtime if I want to have a good sleeper.”

✨This is most definitely false, friends!

✨Nursing/feeding to sleep gets a bad rap in the sleep training world, so let’s talk about why, and how you can do it without interfering with your baby’s sleep.

✨For most babies, how they fall asleep at nap time and bedtime will heavily influence their ability to connect their sleep cycles. If baby is nursed/fed to sleep, they will likely need to be nursed/fed back to sleep when they wake up.

✨However, if nursing/feeding is part of your naptime or bedtime routine, that’s okay! Here are some ways to do it without disrupting baby’s sleep:
✔️ Have at least one activity between nursing/feeding and going to sleep. It could be as simple and quick as a diaper change!
✔️ Nurse/feed somewhere other than baby’s room
✔️ Keep the lights on during the feed
✔️ Nurse/feed at the beginning of nap time or bedtime routine (instead of at the end)

✨As long as baby isn’t falling asleep during the feed, you’re golden! If you find that baby is always dozing off while eating, then it’s time to start nap time/bedtime routine earlier.

✨Many babies follow an eat, play, sleep schedule to avoid the nursing/feeding to sleep issue. If this schedule works for you and your baby, that’s great! Keep doing it. However, once baby gets a bit older and is staying awake longer between naps, you might find that you need to shift to an eat, play, eat, sleep schedule. This is okay! Remember, as long as baby isn’t falling asleep during the feed, you should be just fine.

✨While a full tummy usually isn’t the magic solution to getting your baby to sleep better, having a full tummy is certainly important! No one wants to sleep when they’re hungry!

✨Still have questions about this myth? Ask away below 💛
