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 kno...

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 d...

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 ...

We specifically discussed: Why high-achieving moms today might feel especially overwhelmed and stressed by new motherhood- and what we can do about it.What being mentally healthy and well ACTUALLY means (and what it doesn't mean).Why managing our own well-being is the BEST thing we can do for our kids' well-being and their sleep.Why feeling emotional discomfort is NOT ...

If you're dealing with a toddler or preschooler who won't sleep without you, this podcast episode is for you! Don’t get me wrong, snuggling with your little one can be one of the sweetest parts of motherhood. But there comes a time when you want to be able to tuck your little one in for the night and enjoy your evening.

Ensuring your little one's sleep environment is conducive for good quality sleep is VERY important if your goal is to maximize your little one's sleep and teach them how to sleep like a champ. I'm always getting questions about blackout blinds and whether they're a necessary addition to their little one's nursery. Spoiler alert- my answer to this question is always "YES!" Humans sleep best in dark, quiet rooms. Babies and young children are no different! In this podcas...

If you are a parent of a newborn baby, sleep is probably something you're NOT getting much of. Afterall, newborns require frequent feeds, diaper changes, and nurturing as they transition to the outside world, all of which can get in the way of proper stretches of sleep for you. And that's exhausting! This is where discussions around sleep training often come in as a way to help create better sleep habits. But the reality is that sleep training is NOT age appropriate fo...

In this episode, I spoke with Carlie Roman who talked about how to make new friends as a mom. Being a mother can be rewarding and fulfilling, but it can also be isolating, especially for those who are new to motherhood or have recently moved to a new area. As a wife and stay-at-home-mom of 2 young kids, Carlie managed to build her own close-knit community of mom friends on two separate occasions when her family relocated. She shares her own personal experiences and provide...

If you've ever said "I know my little one isn't a great sleeper, but it could be SO much worse", this episode is for you! In this episode of the My Sleeping Baby podcast, I go on a bit of a soapbox rant about: Why you don't need to compromise (and SHOULDN'T compromise) on good quality sleep for both you AND your little one.Why moms who need less sleep than average (and legitimately aren't bothered by the nightwakings) can still benefit HUGELY from getting their little one sleeping through th...

In this episode of the My Sleeping Baby podcast, I address the HUGE myth that the only way to sleep train your little one is to let them cry-it-out. I specifically discuss: What cry-it-out (aka extinction) actually isWhy your little one might not actually be magically sleeping through the night after 2 days of cry-it-outWhat some alternatives to cry-it-out look likeThe most important factor to consider when figuring out which sleep training method to use for your little oneA VERY impo...

The good news is that this magical day might come sooner than you think! In this episode, I'm talking about how to know when your baby is ready to drop night feeds and sleep straight through the night until morning. More specifically, I talk about: The medical consensus on when babies are ready to sleep through the night without milk.T...
