Join me as I welcome a friend and fellow Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant Kandra Becerra to the Kids Sleep Show. As a Sleep Coach, she saw a consistent challenge with her toddler clients around their resistance and FOMO of bedtime. She used that experience, coupled with a desire to approach the challenge in a new way, empowering young minds through story to understand that sleep is amazing to help them grow big and strong, but that it can also be a new adventure every night when they close their eyes. I am excited to speak today with her about her journey to becoming a childhood author! 

This week on the Kids Sleep Show, Arin Schultz, VP of Sales and Marketing at Naturepedic, joins us to discuss how Naturepedic leads the way in non-toxic, organic mattresses. He also reveals surprising, potentially harmful materials that could be hiding in your mattress — and your child’s — that you’ll want to avoid.

This week, on the Kids Sleep Show, we welcome Britney Schroeder to the show. Britney Schroeder is a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) and a mom of two with a passion for helping caregivers keep their kids safe in transit. She was not a CPST when her oldest was born, so she understands how overwhelming car seat safety can be. She provides compassionate, hands-on education to caregivers, giving them the tools and knowledge to correctly install and use their child's car seat for every ride.

In this episode of The Kids Sleep Show Podcast, we are welcoming the Founder and CEO of Sleep of Mind, Alison Macklin to the show. Alison is a mama, Certified Child Sleep Expert , Certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor and owner of Sleep of Mind, a revolutionary infant sleepwear company. It all started when her daughter had major sleep struggles as a newborn. The lack of good information about  sleep was frustrating so since 2017, her mission has been to help as many families as possible avoid the experience that she went through, and make great sleep more accessible to everyone. After seeing how anxious I and many other families are about their infants breathing well while sleeping, she set out to create a simple solution that would help give parents more peace of mind about their baby's breathing. After years of R&D, Alison and her team have come up with a patent pending design for reflective infant sleepwear which can help a parent see through their baby monitor, their child's chest rising and falling with each breath. 

Episode Highlights:

• How did you come up for this swaddle design for newborns?

• Can a baby sleep on its belly or back in the swaddle?

• How does the patent pending technology work?
