Episode 14: Preparing for Travel, Sleep, or Stress over the Holidays with your host Rachael Shepard-Ohta (of Hey, Sleepy Baby)

The holidays are approaching and for a lot of us that means traveling, changes in routine, and big expectations. It can be SO hard feeling the pressure of wanting to create perfect memories and have fun because really it’s a lot of work (and doesn't always go according to plan)! Join me this week as I talk all about what we do as a family to prepare for traveling, being around family, and of course, sleep. Plus I take some listener questions about dealing with in-laws and more!

In this episode I talk about what you can and cannot control and how to prep your child beforehand for travel. If you are dealing with time change, I give you tips and tricks to handle that. Holidays can be a time where you may have to set boundaries with family and friends beforehand so I discuss how to get on the same page as your partner so you can work together as a team! Lastly, I talk about how your child's temperament can affect traveling plus how you can still try to maintain routine while away from home!
