Getting your little one napping solidly at home is one thing.  Napping well at daycare, on the other hand, can be tricky!

In this episode, I'll be giving you my top tips for transitioning your little one to daycare, as well as how to navigate the various sleep hurdles involved with this transition.  

Specifically, I'll be talking about:

• What to look out for when researching daycare options
• How to communicate with your childcare provider about your little one's sleep needs
• How to help your little one adapt to napping at daycare
• How to adjust bedtime with short daycare naps
• How to minimize problems when daycare doesn't let your baby nap more than once a day
• When daycare naps will change for the better
• What to do when daycare wants to nap your older one- and you want that nap gone

This is a jam-packed episode with lots to talk about.  Have a listen!

In this episode, I'm taking you down memory line as I recap the last 7 years of my life.  I'll be chatting about all the nitty-gritty details involved with transitioning from practicing law to become a full-time sleep consultant. 

Spoiler alert- it involved TONS of tears and sleepless nights, ironically!

I'll also be taking you through the various ups and downs of the last 7 years and share the various lessons I've learned along the way.

A very common question exhausted parents ask me is about sleep training and crying.  The truth is that when we're making changes to your little one's sleep, they ARE going to cry because we are making changes to their routine that are DIFFERENT.

And they don't like or want "different"!

In this episode, we'll be covering:

• Why some crying during sleep training is unavoidable (but that's okay)
• Why you don't have to resort to cry-it-out if you don't want to
•  How long it usually takes a baby and a toddler to fall asleep on the first night
•  How long it takes to see significant improvements with a proper sleep plan
•  What I worry about MORE than your little one's crying

 I remember like it was yesterday when I had a toddler and a baby at the same time.  And BOY was it a busy time.  While I was surrounded by an abundance of adorable cuteness, I also felt like I was "in the trenches" with, essentially, 2 babies at home.

Let's just say that stage was a bit of a blur!  

If you are in this stage right now, I'm sending you lots of love!  This isn't easy!  

In this episode, I'm giving you my top survival tips for getting through this stage so that you can enjoy it to its fullest and avoid burnout.  Have a listen!

Description:  The fall-back time change is around the corner and most of you are probably groaning- with good reason!  It's the WORST day of the year for every parent of little ones because their 630am wakeup suddenly becomes 530am.  Or worse- their 530am wakeup (which is pretty darn early to begin with) becomes...430am!

Don't worry, friends- I've got you covered.  In today's episode, I'll be taking you through my official fall-back-time-change action plan that will help you get your little one's schedule back on track as quickly as possible.

I'll specifically be covering:

- Why blackout blinds are so awesome

- My schedule shifting strategy to get your little one waking up later

- My thoughts on preemptively trying to shift your little one's schedule later
