Around this age, you’ll probably notice that your little one is starting to nap for longer periods, allowing them to follow a two nap schedule!

You may find it helpful to start going by a clock-based schedule. Not only is it helpful for planning your day, but your baby will start expecting naps at a certain time.

Often when working with babies in this age group, I find that parents are concerned with short naps. This is super common at this age and sometimes just takes time and practice! Other times, I have found that it’s because their wake windows aren’t quite long enough!

At this age, babies are growing, developing and changing so fast! Same goes for their wake windows. If you’re struggling with short naps and tough nights, reassess your baby’s wake windows - they might be ready for a little more awake time!

Awake time is such a balancing act. If you want a personalized plan for your little one, send me a message! 🤍

WHITE NOISE RECOMMENDATIONS

I often hear parents wondering how loud their baby’s white noise should be. This is a totally valid question and I’m here to shed some light on white noise recommendations.

During those early newborn days, white noise can be beneficial as it mimics the sound heard in the womb. As your little one grows, white noise continues to be beneficial to block out environmental noise that could wake your child or make it more difficult for them to connect their sleep cycles.

I typically suggest a white noise setting that is consistent and continuous throughout the entire night. White noise should be no louder than 50 decibels and it is recommended that the sound machine be 7ft away from your baby’s crib.

If you’re nervous about the volume of your little one’s sound machine, download a decibel meter app, place your phone in your child’s crib with the sound machine on and see what it reads. If it is below 50 decibels – perfect! If it is above, don’t stress – just turn down the sound machine so it’s at a more appropriate volume!

We love our sound machines because they offer a variety of continuous white noise settings and can grow with your child to be used as an okay-to-wake clock when the time comes!

Swipe to see this family’s full testimonial 🤍

Before working with this family, their little guy’s daytime routine was inconsistent and unpredictable. He was taking short naps and snacking often throughout the day. His nights were inconsistent, with frequent awakenings and nighttime feeds. This mama felt like it was taking forever to rock her little guy to sleep for each nap and bedtime. She was left feeling exhausted with no time for herself.

To ensure that mom and dad felt supported as they worked on Hayden’s nights and naps, we went with the Exclusive Sleepy Head Package. This allowed for daily support and encouragement, problem solving and adjustments as needed. It helped this mama become confident navigating her little guys sleep all on her own.

During our time working together, we successfully transitioned Hayden into his crib in his own room. These well rested parents are now able to put their little guy down in his crib and know that he has the skills to fall asleep on his own. We helped him learn to fall asleep independently, while still giving him all the love and comfort he needed. We created a much more consistent and predictable routine for Hayden and he is now taking nice full feeds through out the day!

Mom and Dad are now able to put Hayden down for the night and know that he will get 11-12 hours of sleep and wake up feeling happy and well rested. He no longer has any nighttime feeds and he is getting the daytime rest he needs!

It is such a pleasure helping sweet families like this one 🤍 If any of this rings true for you, please know that this can be your story too! Send me a message and we can turn your little one’s sleep story around!

This is your friendly reminder to lower your baby’scrib mattress!

It’s recommended that the crib mattress be lowered before your baby is able to sit independently. Although different with every babe, this can be as early as 6 months of age.

If your baby is currently sleeping in a bassinet in your room or that is your plan once baby arrives, it might make most sense to start with the mattress in a lower position to begin with! That way you don’t have to worry about lowering it down the road.

Be sure to consult your crib manual when making adjustments 🤍

I absolutely love getting these messages!

Sleep training your little one not only means that you and your babe will be more rested, but often times, it enables your little one to be more flexible and adaptable.

Helping your child learn to sleep independently enables them to use these skills whether you are at home, visiting friends and family or travelling! It truly is a life changing skill to teach your little one and I would be honoured to help you in your journey.

Don’t put it off any longer, book your free 15-minute call now!

Have you ever woken up to your child screaming in the night?

It can be so alarming to wake up to your little one screaming. Typically when your child has a nightmare, they will be able to recognize you and calm down with a hug and some reassurance. With night terrors, children typically aren’t able to calm down with reassurance and it’s actually better to provide comfort without waking them.

As terrifying as they can be, there’s lots you can do to ease their fears and prevent nightmares and night terrors from occurring.
