Is your little one starting daycare?

You may worry about how their sleep will be impacted in a new environment, and that's completely valid. But there are some steps that you can take to help prepare your child for daycare while also advocating for their needs.

If you need a few ideas, this is the episode for you.

"Mommy, I have a question."

"I'm thirsty. Can I have some water."

"I need to go to the bathroom. Again."

It's the classic tale of bedtime stalling -- doing anything and everything to prevent the onset of bedtime. But it doesn't have to be this way every night. In this episode, I walk you through 3 steps that you can take to put the bedtime stalling to bed, one of which includes this freebie -- The Bedtime Pass.

It seems like attachment parenting and sleep training are always pitted against each other -- as if ensuring your child gets the best sleep possible can't possibly exist with a secure, loving attachment.

Well, I call B.S.

In this episode, we define attachment parenting and sleep training, and talk about how they can live together. What would it look like to respond to your child's needs while sleep training? How can you instill independence in your child while ensuring they feel confident and secure?

These are all things we talk about in this episode!

For some children, the thought of bath time is enough to produce a full on meltdown. And for others, you have to WORK to get them out of the water.

As I shared in the last episode, growing up, I didn't have a great relationship with sleep.

After a few traumatic events (including waking up outside in the middle of the night), going to sleep terrified me.

The truth is, your older kid may not feel safe in their room for a number of reasons, and that can prevent them from getting the sleep they need. In this episode, I'm sharing a few tips to get your brain gears turning to think through ways to help your older kid feel more secure in their room.

If you want to sit down together and create a game plan, message me on Instagram and we can set something up!

Today I'm sharing my story! No, not about how I became a sleep consultant, but about my relationship with sleep as a child.

Many children deal with anxiety or fears around sleep, and I get it. It's hard.

Knowing what your child is dealing with and seeking out help for them can make a world of difference for years to come.

Thank you so much for listening in!

Welcome back to season 3 of the Rockabye Mama Baby and Toddler Sleep Podcast.

In today's episode, we dive into the 3 factors that impact your child's sleep. P.S. Sorry the audio is choppy on this one. I didn't realize until after I published it -- I'll re-record soon!

Sweet dreams, y'all!

In this episode, we’re not talking about child sleep much. Instead, we’re talking about some thing that’s been sitting on my mind and heart recently — your mental health. 

I am not a medical mental health professional, and this podcast is not loaded with steps to decrease your anxiety or improve your mental health. Rather it’s a raw, unscripted talk about how I’ve struggled and a few things that have helped me.

The most important thing I hope you take away from this episode is that it's okay to put your needs first sometimes.

In fact, it's essential.
