I don’t know about you, but this happens to us all the time: We get in the car and no matter how long or short the drive is, one of my kids falls asleep for the last ten minutes of the drive.

Now, if you’re a parent, you know how this ends up ruining their regular nap, because somehow that TEN minute cat nap was enough to make them feel rested enough to not fall asleep when you get home and try to lay them down.

⁣⁣Maybe you’ve tried to sing and dance and roll the window down to keep them awake (only to probably fail) or maybe you’ve tried to sneak them into the house and transfer them to their crib hoping to save their nap.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t usually work. 

A lot of parents, specifically moms, end up feeling stuck at home because they don’t want to risk ruining their kiddos nap.

We never want you to feel trapped at home, so on today’s episode we’re giving you the secret to solving the 10 minute car nap.

We work with a lot of tired tired parents, and we know how incredibly hard it is to wear all of the hats you wear and show up when you are so sleep deprived.

One of the first questions we get asked and one of the main things we talk about during our discovery calls with potential clients is: how long will my child cry during sleep training?

It’s the thing that causes the most anxiety when it comes to sleep training. This episode goes over everything you can expect with crying when you sleep train your child.

Do you have a newborn who has their days and nights mixed up (meaning they sleep alllll day long for you but think it’s time to party during the night? Does that sound familiar? Or are you hoping to prevent that from happening because you’ve heard it’s a thing? This is super common with newborns, but luckily there are some ways to help prevent and/or correct day/night confusion.

Our sweet little newborns are born with no concept of day or night and their internal clocks are not very developed until closer to 8-12 weeks. That’s why so many newborns end up getting their days and nights mixed up.

One of the most common questions we get from parents is about early morning wakings. Parents will message us to tell us their baby or child is waking up between 4 and 5 am every day and they want to know how they can help them sleep longer.

In this episode, we’re going to explain what could be causing your child to wake up early and what things you can do to help your little one extend their mornings.

The big question: What is sleep training? (And does the Goodnight House sleep train?!)

There is a LOT of drama around the term sleep training and we know it’s a taboo term. Do a quick search in any online mom group and you’ll see what we’re talking about if you don’t already. We’re here to try and clear things up once and for all and hopefully ease your mind.

There are a lot of assumptions around babies and sleep, but our goal with sleep is for parents to come alongside their babies and help them establish healthy sleep habits.
