If your little one is showing signs of tiredness earlier than usual, it’s okay — and actually better — to follow their lead.

An earlier bedtime doesn’t mean an earlier start to your day, it means you’re giving their body what it needs: time to rest, restore, and grow.

When we stretch them too long, their body starts working against them (and against you) — with more night wakes, early mornings, and restless sleep.

Trust their cues. Trust their needs.
Earlier sleep often means better sleep — for everyone.

If you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of early mornings or tricky bedtimes but you’re not sure how to figure out their sleep needs,

📩 DM me “SLEEp BASICS” and I’ll send you the guide of all guides that gives you step by step instructions to figure it all out.

A little different from my usual (I feel like I just wrote a persuasive essay for year 12 hahah)

This one goes out to all the tired parents who are driving today and might hear this ads because like you, it made me feel really s**t when I heard it.

🚘 You are not failing
🚙 You are not irresponsible
🚛 You are tired because you care

Let’s stop pretending the answer is “ just more sleep”.

Let’s start creating real, accessible support for parents holding it all together!

What do you think?? Share below.

Toddlers sleep well if they can! A 90 min masterclass that will get you out of the trenches of toddler sleep!

You’ve tried everything and your tiny human is pushing the boundaries around bedtime HARD!

I hear you, I see you, I’ve been you!

The sleep industry has perpetuated a narrative that your toddler is not motivated enough to sleep well and that what the focus needs to be to achieve better sleep.

❌😵🙅🏽‍♀️🙄🫠

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Rather, our toddlers don’t have the skill set to follow through with our expectations around bedtime and it is our job as parents to dig into their toolbox and give them these missing skills to improve bedtime battles.

That’s why I created TODDLER’S SLEEP WELL IF THEY CAN! A 90 minute masterclass that creates an actual plan to meet all your toddler’s needs and getting them to sleep in a way that actually works!!!

* Shifting your mindset
* Why are their behaviours so challenging
* What’s in your toddler’s tool box to navigate challenging behaviours
* How to work collaboratively with your child to curb the bedtime battles
* Optimising their independence
* Creating empathetic boundaries
* Role play
* Helping them regulate and co-regulation
* And a 6 step actionable plan to achieve your goals

The best part is, there will be a week of follow up support in a group of parents in the exact same position!!!!

📣 Early bird pricing of $39 is on now!

You’ve bought all the gadgets and tried all the tricks to get your toddler to stay in their bed and NOTHING worked!!

You know why? Because we got toddler sleep all wrong!!!

They don’t need to be motivated to stay in the bed, to go to sleep easily or be independent! They need more tools in their tool box to be able to get there!

I asked you all what you thought was the hardest thing about toddler sleep and there were sooooo many answers.

The top 3 were:
- Early rising
- Getting them to stay in their bed
- Settling independently

Others were:
- Parental preference
- Room sharing
- Late bedtimes
- Multiple night wakes

And so many more!!!!

If you’re in this boat and struggling with your toddlers sleep, keep your 👀 peeled for later this week for something exiting coming that will solve all your toddler sleep dilemmas .

This new direction has me feeling giddy!

I can’t wait to bring you all along for the ride as we try and change the negative sleep narrative together.

Dispelling one bad habit and one bad sleep myth at a time. 💪🏼

Hello! 🙋🏻‍♀️

There are some new faces here so I thought I should do the thang we do when we meet new people and introduce myself.

I’m Lauri, welcome to my little slice of the internet where I like to think of myself as the noise cancelling headphones to all the very noisy, full of bulls**t sleep world. My advice is honest, real, backed by science and supportive. This is a safe space where I strive to make your parenthood journey easier without any blame or shame.

A little bit about me:

👷‍♀️I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades. I love to learn new skills and master new challenges. I’m pretty sure I have undiagnosed ADHD which I see as a superpower because I have a strong belief that I can do anything and give most things (I’m interested in) a go!

🤱🏻I got married to the love of my life at 25 and we shortly after had 3 children in 3.5 years. I know- it’s crazy. The first two and 19 months apart and the second and third are 20 months apart. They used to appear on here a lot but then they got recognised out in the wild and it freaked me out so now you don’t see them but they’re still here- whinging, playing, learning and driving me crazy!

☕️ I hate coffee and have never had a cup of it in my life. I’m sure I could acquire a taste for it but like why now?!?

✈️ I would happily spend my life travelling around and being a bit of a nomad. This is obviously tricky when you have kids and dream about spending my retirement country hopping with my hubby.

I have a range of guides, masterclasses and 1:1 support options available and I’d love to support you. Feel free to DM me to see if I’m a good fit.

Tell me an interesting fact about you and let’s get to know each other! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Let’s be real, toddler sleep can be farking hard and getting them to stay in their bed- even harder.

Sometimes we forget that their undeveloped brains don’t process things the way we do. Instructions like- “stay in your bed”, “go to sleep”, “be quiet”, can be too abstract for your little one to understand.

Here are the steps you need to help:

1️⃣ The answer to separation anxiety is never to separate further, it’s connect. Before bed, bump up your connection. This can be an extra story at bedtime, some rough and tumble pay or even a big cuddle before hopping into bed. Night sleep is the longest period of time you’ll separate from them and they know this. Bump up that connection GF!

2️⃣ If your toddler is constantly coming out of their bed, give them some clear expectations around bed being in their bed

Discuss with your toddler before bedtime

✨ Put your head on your pillow
✨ Lie down
✨ Still as a statue

If they are having trouble following this, it’s ok to set a boundary and keep it.

3️⃣ If your little one has learnt to talk, develop a fear of the dark or any type of development that is affecting their ability to stay asleep, just know it’s a phase and it will pass. In the mean time, they may need a little bit extra TLC to help them through.

If you are looking for more practical tips and tricks, my sleep box is for you!!!

An affordable and personalised rewards system where your little one collects stars for staying in their bed or following the bedtime rules in their cot.

It comes with a free Ebook that teaches you everything you need to know around achieving the best toddler sleep.

Lauri Goodhardt- Infant and Child Sleep Consultant

Hi, my name is Lauri Goodhardt and I am the founder of Goodnight Sweethardt. I am a mum of 2 (with my 3rd on the way) and I have a great passion for learning and education. For the last 7 years, I have loved working as a secondary teacher in Melbourne, Australia. My sleep journey began after the birth of my first child, Abi. Like you, I was sleep deprived and desperate for a good night sleep. I quickly became fascinated with her sleep patterns and began researching and trialling every sleep technique under the sun. Some worked, some didn’t and others I realised had potential but required some tweaking. When my son, Levi was born, I put what I had learnt into practice and had an excellent sleeper from the start. The rest is history, I enrolled to become a certified child and infant sleep consultant.

I believe in a holistic approach to sleep training and healthy sleep habits, tailoring my support to the needs of each child and their parent/s. I don’t believe there is a ‘one size fits all’ approach to sleep. Rather, I believe that sleep training and creating healthy habits must be personalised to your parenting styles and your child’s needs. We will discuss the many aspects to child’s sleep including their sleep environment, sleep associations, sleeping patterns and routines. Together, we will create a sleep program to empower you and create a positive and successful experience.

I strongly believe that sleep training and changing sleep habits is not only for your child, but for the welfare of the entire family. Everyone deserves a good night sleep. If you would like to find out more, please contact me to arrange a free 15-minute chat so we can decide how best to get you back to sleeping`.
