As a sleep consultant, I know firsthand how room sharing with your baby can feel like both a blessing and a challenge. While the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends room sharing for at least the first six months (ideally up to one year) to reduce the risk of SIDS, it’s crucial to create an environment that promotes restful sleep for both you and your baby. If you're struggling with constant night wakings or an unsustainable sleep setup, you're not alone! Here are the essential do’s and don’ts of room sharing so your whole family can get the rest they need.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, and the clocks will spring forward one hour. This means that your child’s 5 AM wake-up will become 6 AM per the new clock time—giving you a much-needed break! Nobody should be waking up before 6 AM, right?

A swaddle can be a powerful tool to help a newborn sleep well. But knowing when and how to transition out of a swaddle is not only important for safety but also helps prevent your baby from becoming dependent on it for sleep. Teaching your baby how to fall asleep without relying on something external benefits the entire family and fosters healthy sleep habits.

When bed sharing, babies often depend on feeding and close contact with a parent to fall asleep. This dependence usually extends to night wakings, where they need the same conditions to fall back asleep. Asking your baby to self-soothe and sleep independently while the things they rely on, such as nursing or physical contact, are right there but unavailable can be very confusing and counterproductive.

Just the other day, I was reassuring a client that sleep training doesn’t mean giving up your social life. In fact, once your baby is a great sleeper, it’s easier to navigate occasional disruptions—like evenings out or even travel—without losing your progress. When everyone in the family is well-rested, flexibility becomes much more manageable. Here’s how to enjoy your evenings while protecting your baby’s sleep.

Self-care has always been hugely important to me and is the reason I started my sleep training business. How can you take care of everyone around you if you aren’t taking care of yourself? It’s the best thing you can do for yourself, your family and your work life. Believe me, your kids will be grateful for the extra patience and connection they get when YOUR bucket is filled up.

When I became a mother 10 years ago, my world was rocked. I undoubtedly experienced the most intense and instantaneous kind of love, but I also slowly became filled with self-doubt and insecurity. There were so many decisions to be made: would I nurse or bottle feed or both? Did my baby nap on me or in a bassinet? When should I start going to play groups? Did I use the wrong kind of laundry detergent? Was I being irresponsible if I ditched the cloth diapers I’d had my heart set on using?

Tis’ the season of family gatherings, parties, fun traditions, and more. It really is my favorite time of year. For some parents, it’s an extremely stressful time especially if you’re balancing all of the holiday fun while running on empty. Let’s talk about the holidays and your child’s sleep. If your kiddo is not a great sleeper, I can help. If you’ve got the sleep thing down, I’ll share tips on keeping it intact while during this season of joy.

Daylight Savings Time starts next month on Sunday, November 3rd, and for many parents, this can feel like a daunting day. While setting back clocks may only take a moment, it often takes longer for our little ones to adjust to the new schedule. If it takes adults a week to feel normal again, it’s no surprise that children, who thrive on structured routines, experience the effects of the time change more intensely. So, how can you best handle the "fall back" transition?

As a mom who's been through the ups and downs of babyhood, toddlerhood, and everything in between, I know firsthand how much you rely on that trusty bottle to get through the day (and sometimes night!). A common question as a sleep consultant is, “When should we start saying goodbye to the bottle?” It's a milestone that’s both exciting and a little daunting. But don’t worry—making this change doesn’t have to be stressful! With a little understanding of when and why to do it, you can help your little one transition smoothly while supporting their overall health and development.
