Summertime is approaching and that means it’s time for those dreaded fireworks! As beautiful as fireworks might be, they’re LOUD. And the last thing you want is for your sleeping baby to wake up from those loud bangs.
In this blog post and podcast episode, I’ll discuss how to help your sleeping baby stay asleep despite those pesky, noisy fireworks. I’ll also discuss how to help your baby enjoy the fireworks if you want to keep them up.
In this week's episode, I had the honour and privilege of interviewing the famous Dr. Sujay Kansagra, a well-known pediatric neurologist, sleep specialist and researcher from Duke University.

There is a well-known sleep regression that happens in the 8-10 month mark- and it's not fun!
In this podcast episode, I discuss what causes the 8 month sleep regression, the main signs this regression has arrived, as well as my top sleep tips for navigating this phase.
If you have a baby who constantly fights sleep, you are not alone! Getting a baby to fall asleep without tons of effort can be easier said than done.
If this is your struggle, you’re in the right place. In this podcast episode, I’m discussing the 7 most common reasons why babies fight sleep- and what you can do about it.
As new parents, we’re always striving to create a safe and comforting environment for our little ones, especially when it comes to their sleep. And it’s very common for babies and young children to sleep with a special toy or blanket to add that extra safety.
You probably remember your favourite plush animal or security blanket you slept with as a child!
That being said, safe sleep guidelines have changed dramatically since we were children. And it’s important to know when babies are allowed to sleep with a stuffed animal or lovey.
In this podcast, I’ll discuss when the right time is for babies to sleep with a stuffed animal or special sleep toy. I will also offer tips on how to introduce a lovey to your baby’s sleep routine. Have a listen!
I often get asked about sleep schedules for 4 month-olds from very exhausted, overwhelmed moms. And I don't blame them! This age range brings a TON of big changes to their sleep patterns.
And if you don't know how to navigate these changes, your little one's sleep could suffer!
In this podcast episode, I'll be discussing:
Newborns babies spend a significant amount of time sleeping and it’s VERY frustrating when they won’t sleep in a bassinet. You might love those newborn snuggles as a new mom at first, but after a while you’ll be craving some hands-free time to take care of everything else in your life!
In this podcast episode and blog post, I discuss why getting your baby to sleep in a bassinet is so important, why your little one might be struggling to sleep in their bassinet, and what you can do about it!
As a parent of a baby or toddler, you’ve probably realized that nap time is crucial for your little one’s growth, development, and overall well-being. However, getting your little one to settle down for restful, regular naps can be a real challenge, even at the best of times. That’s where sleep training comes in, specifically for nap time.
In this podcast episode, I’ll explore effective strategies and techniques to help you sleep train your baby and toddler for naps. By following these steps, you can establish a consistent nap routine for your, promote healthy sleep habits, and ensure that both you and your baby get the rest you need.
You can’t put a price tag on that one.
The swaddle has been a trusted technique for sleep-deprived parents to calm and comfort their newborn babies for generations. It’s a known fact that proper swaddling promotes the best newborn baby sleep possible. This is because wrapping infants snugly in a swaddle blanket mimics the feeling of being in the womb and helps prevent your baby’s startle reflex.
As your baby graduates that newborn stage, there comes a time when transitioning them out of the swaddle becomes necessary. This process can be a bit challenging, as it involves introducing new sleep associations that allow your baby more freedom of movement. But with patience, a gradual approach, the correct sleep gear, and the right strategies, you can make the transition a smooth and successful one.
In this blog post and podcast episode, I explore in-depth the steps and techniques to help you transition your baby out of the swaddle, ensuring a comfortable and safe sleep environment for your little one. I also discuss the Baby Merlin Sleep Suit and why it’s my favourite swaddle transition product.
Traditional behavioural sleep training is not for every parent.
Maybe you’re not ready to make such big changes to your little one’s sleep habits.
Perhaps your baby’s cries are too overwhelming to listen to, even if you’re in the baby’s room supporting him.
Maybe you have a young baby who isn’t old enough for sleep training.
Or maybe you were blessed with an amazing sleeper who doesn’t need sleep training.
This might be where you try patting your baby to sleep, also known as the shush pat method.
In this podcast episode and blog post, I elaborate on what the shush pat method is, how to execute it, and whether it’s an effective gentle sleep training method. Enjoy!
