Have you ever heard of my Ask Me Anything calls? This mama scheduled ONE call with me to discuss struggles around naps, how-to navigate weaning with her toddler and much more. This is the update I got yesterday...πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

"Hi. I just wanted to give you a quick update. It's been 9 days since our last nursing session. My husband has successfully taken on bedtime most of those nights. We have had 2 nights with NO WAKE UPS. (Happy dance!). Overall the suggestions you provided gave us the ammunition we needed to blow up the cycle that was causing so many issues for our family. We are in a much better place. Thank you so much."

I always preface the purpose of these 45 minute calls is not to magically fix everything ✨ (even though that'd be pretty awesome) but to simply have a jumping off point and give you an action plan of what to do after. Who are these calls best for? πŸ‘‡

β˜‘ Nap transitions
β˜‘ ideal awake windows
β˜‘ refresher if past client
β˜‘ refresher if previously sleep trained in general

Wondering if this is a good option for you and your current struggles around sleep? DM ASK ME ANYTHING πŸ“ž to chat more and be provided a booking link πŸ”—

Had the pleasure of working not only with this local mama but local provider in my area! .cruz777 She knows the importance of bringing health & wellness to the whole family and how moms especially need to take care of themselves and deserve rest! Read the full testimonial below πŸ₯° πŸ‘‡

"1st TIME MOMS: if you are looking forward to some β€œfreedom” (consistent naps) throughout the day, do yourself a favor and hire Clare.

I worked with Clare when my baby was 4mo. I was tired of co-sleeping w my babies (this is my 4th😳), and the pain and loss of sleep that I had accumulated through the years.

Honestly, day 1 was difficult because we change sleeping habits/routine, well we actually created one. Clare was always reassuring we were on track.

If I would’ve known that a β€œsleep coach” existed with my first baby, 100% would have hired one and would have saved myselfΒ  pain, and thousands of sleepless nights."

The topic of cosleeping comes up quite a bit in what I do. And honestly coming from a mama who at one point or another did this with my own kids, I get it and can understand why some either choose or (forced to) take this route out of desperation in some cases πŸ₯±πŸ₯±πŸ₯±

What if there could be a happy medium of enjoying those snuggles but not HAVING to have them in your bed ALL NIGHT πŸ₯΄

PRO TIP! Carve out some quality time aside from only bedtime. Exp: everyone up for the day on the weekend? Cuddle up in the family bed or couch and enjoy each other's company πŸ₯°

⏰ Daylight Savings Spring Forward is happening this weekend!

Here's some advice I will give you around this: don't panic or overly stress! Things will get back to normal and it will be ok β™‘

So for Spring Ahead, I recommend "splitting the difference" meaning if your child usually takes their nap at 9:30am this will now become 10am. Do this again at bedtime (if bedtime is usually 7pm offer it now at 7:30) the reason behind this is rather than keeping your child up a whole hour this "this split the difference" in that its not too much to ask of them.

Remember! Its going to take some time for everyone to adjust at first. So, are you winging it this weekend or taking a gradual approach the day after? Tell me in the comments πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ’¬πŸ’¬

Motherhood is beautiful and fulfilling and so so special. But its also mentally, physically and emotionally draining (if we're being completely honest 😏)

Carrying around the unseen mental load of motherhood means it's not necessarily something that you're talking about, but its that running list and worries you constantly have in your head.

PSA: admitting that its hard at times and sitting with that, being ok with that, I think is a good first step to knowing what to do next ‡️

We all strive for balance, but truth is that no one is completely balanced and has it all together in every aspect of life. It just ain't happening, and that's ok!! How can you start lightening your load?

βœ… Ask for help
βœ… Admit you can't do it all, (or at least not everything well)
βœ… Prioritizing rest for yourself
βœ… when you get time to rest, really try not to think about EVERYTHING ELSE you could be doing!!! 🀯

Lastly, getting enough sleep is sometimes downplayed, and treated as a luxury. When the honest truth is that sleep is a fundamental need for all humans to survive and thrive! If you're struggling in this area with your little one it can feel so so hard and lonely when it doesn't have to be!

Drop a ❀ if you can relate to feeling this way and you're ready to reclaim your sleep πŸ’€

Do you dread anyone asking about your children's sleep? Do you have anxiety around the topic in general? You are not alone!

A simple question such as: "is baby sleeping through the night yet?" Is enough to make you feel on edge and somewhat irritated (especially if your babe is most definitely NOT sleeping well)

The subject of sleep can bring up such feelings as ‡️

🀯 Inadequacy (or feeling you're somehow doing something wrong)

🀯 Putting undue pressure on yourself because you're comparing your child/situation with someone else's.

🀯 You're TIRED and frustrated so you don't feel like yourself.

🀯 Mom guilt, because even though you could desperately use some help, you somehow feel you just need to learn to deal with it.

For any of these reasons and more the topic of you and or your child's sleep can be a hard one to navigate.

Remember, the sooner you can work through these triggering thoughts and feelings, the sooner you can start to work on getting support for yourself and feeling like yourself again. Drop a ❀ if any of these feelings have come up for you.

A new year is right around the corner ✨ we always here things like... new year, new me, goals goals and more goals, resolutions. But in order to reach any of these things it means taking small steps towards what you want.

When it comes to your health & wellness (cough cough, and getting better sleep πŸ’€ πŸ’€) it requires taking some steps. In 2023 start with this...

❌ Endlessly searching and getting information overload

❌ Following a TON of accounts that don't make you feel good or that you don't resonate with

❌ Putting yourself last for any reason really

Did you find these points helpful? Are you soooo ready to ditch in the new year? Send me a DM to chat about enrollment πŸ₯³

Throughout the years the lines have been blurred between the difference in "Attachment Theory" and "Attachment Parenting"

In this life long debate, some have the notion that the only way to have a secure attachment with your child is physically being close to them and responding to every request.

This months blog post I dive more into this subject and how most importantly there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to parenting, so it calls for balance on our part β™‘

The season of travel, vacations, school break, relatives being in town is upon us!

As exciting and fun-filled as this may be for the whole family, it also comes with a measure of anxiety to preserve you and your little ones sleep so you can actually enjoy yourselves!!

This β€’ is β€’ 9️⃣ years β™‘

Celebrating our 9 year wedding anniversary yesterday and today 12β€’8β€’2013 (unfortunately didn't take any pics today πŸ˜–)

Life certainly isn't perfect. its messy, its crazy, but Its also fun and challenging! I think we do a pretty good job to support each other in our new indeavors, whether its changes in career, adapting to the many changes that come along with parenting two young children, and all the ups and downs of life itself.

Love my little family and looking forward to the big πŸ”Ÿ next year 🀍🀍🀍🀍

Hey mamas, I release you of this heavy weight you've been carrying around πŸ’”

Motherhood is full of guilt.

Guilt about doing everything the "right way"

Guilt that IF we set up a certain pattern early on we've somehow "messed up" and have no hope of getting things back.

Heavy feelings of comparison that your child's sleep doesn't look like someone else's and where did you go wrong.

Here's a new outlook starting today: your child is an individual, not a robot πŸ€– your journey will most likely look NOTHING like someone else's, and that's ok!

You also don't have to surrender to the idea that things will never change, or it is what it is, or it's just too late to start something new πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

No more blaming yourself about what YOU think you should or shouldn't have done. If you need help and guidance its here 🀍🀍

Drop a ❀ if you're in this stage or know someone who is...
