We go through a very important tip to help your little one come through this as quickly as possible in this podcast so you are going to want to have a listen!

We would love to wave a magic wand and prevent each and every baby or child from getting sick at any point but especially after you have worked so hard on sleep coaching! Pam and Elisa have many powers but unfortunately, that is not one of them. It is inevitable that your child will get sick at some point and it can be so overwhelming and disheartening to have worked so hard on sleep and then have to take steps back when illness strikes. We want to make sure that you know how to keep things on track as much as possible and or get things back on track if you had to do more to help your little one fall asleep when they were sick.  

In this podcast episode, we talk all about: 

When to keep things on track What to do with their sleep schedule when they get sick as well as  How to get things back to independent sleep territory when the illness is over!  

Have a listen, you will not want to miss this one.  

If you would like to teach your baby or child how to fall asleep independently and just don't know where to start...Or maybe they were falling asleep on their own and got sick and now you feel stuck, we are here to help! Reach out to us at [email protected] and we can book a FREE 15 minute call with you.
