  • Transform Your Toddler's Sleep with These Bedtime Questions

    Text us your sleep questions.

    In this episode of "Creating Well-Rested Families," I want to take you a little behind the scenes of what goes on during our bedtime routine and share with you something that we have started incorporating with my 4 and 7-year-old. 

    We know the importance of creating meaningful bedtime routines for babies, but you need one for toddlers and preschoolers as well. I share five insightful questions to ask your little one before they drift off to sleep. These questions not only foster emotional connection but also help your child reflect on their day, express their feelings, and set positive expectations for tomorrow. You can ask them at the start of the routine or in the middle. Just be sure to start with 1 question and have a short 5-10-minute conversation with your child to help build that connection.

  • Managing Sleep for Your Baby and Family While Traveling

    Text us your sleep questions.

    Listen in as I share an episode I recorded with Sarah from Previa Alliance Podcast regarding traveling with your family and still remaining well-rested. I share tips and tricks on how to enjoy travel without worrying about whether or not your baby will sleep.

    My ultimate motto regarding travel is... You have to parent at home or away so why not do it on a tropical island or while exploring European countries like Italy or France.

    Topics we talk about include:
    - How to navigate time changes when traveling
    - Naps while traveling are possible
    - Staying in a hotel vs. AirBNB
    - Flying and road trip hacks

    Plus so much more!

  • Coaching Call with a Mom of a 10 Month Old

    Text us your sleep questions.

    Sneak peek into a membership coaching call with the mom of a 10-month-old. They found us through a consultation we had through EXPECTFUL and then ended up joining a group coaching session. They are implementing the sleep plan on their timeline and as they see fit which is something I preach all the time to my clients. Doing things on your timeline and when you are ready is so important as a parent. 

    Listen to our conversation as we chat about how to address the night wakings, being responsive while still working towards dropping sleep associations, and implementing sleep-soothing strategies.
