You don’t want to “traumatize” your baby.
I hear that every week. And I get it—because the internet makes it sound like your only two options are:
❌ sleep training = cruel
✅ no sleep training = perfect parent

But what about you? Your mental health, your evenings, your marriage, your joy?

Sleep deprivation leaves wounds too. And you’re allowed to factor yourself into the equation. This post is for anyone stuck in the fear spiral, afraid to make the wrong move. 💤

🎉 Happy International Women’s Day! 🎉

At Baby’s Best Sleep, we don’t just support women—we are women. We work with women-led businesses, we help women prioritize sleep, and we see firsthand just how much women get sh*t done every single day.

And yet… women are also more likely to experience the impact of lost sleep ⬇️

💤 Women are 40% more likely than men to have insomnia.
💤 Women are twice as likely to experience anxiety, which affects sleep.
💤 Women do 70% of nighttime caregiving when there’s a baby in the house.
💤 Hormonal shifts (pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause) impact sleep in ways men will never fully understand.

And yet, we still show up. We raise families, build businesses, support our communities, and handle the invisible labor that keeps everything running. It’s incredible. YOU are incredible. 💪

So today, we’re celebrating YOU. 🩷 Drop a comment below and tag a woman who deserves extra appreciation today! ⬇️

The Overlooked Culprit: Sleep Habits

ICYMI: I chatted with .deluce and the crew on Friday about how a little more sleep can do wonders for your s*x life—and vice versa!

If you’ve been blaming relationship issues, stress, or aging for a dip in s*xual satisfaction—pause. Research shows that getting less than 7 hours of sleep can seriously disrupt libido for both men and women.

Why Does Sleep Matter So Much?
Hormonal Disruptions: Poor sleep lowers testosterone and increases cortisol, sabotaging s*x drive.
Scientific Findings:
Women over 50 sleeping

I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety.

In 2016, I gave birth to my second child. After a smooth and joyful first-time parenting experience, I expected more of the same. But instead, I was hit with debilitating postpartum anxiety that lasted for years.

I wasn’t new to therapy. I knew the tools. I tried everything that had worked before, but nothing helped. Instead of seeking help, I went inward—convinced something was deeply wrong with me.

It took one too many panic attacks before I finally booked an appointment with my doctor. That day changed everything. I got a referral, started doing real work, and finally felt like myself again.

I see so much of my story in the parents I work with today. You did it—you tackled sleep training, your child is sleeping better, and life should feel easier. But instead, you’re feeling:

😰 Stressed about nap lengths and wake windows
🔄 Constantly analyzing sleep patterns, afraid of ‘messing it up’
🤯 Still anxious or on edge—even when your child is asleep

You’re not alone. That’s why I’m teaming up with Natasha Senra-Pereira, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist for a powerful conversation about what’s really at the root of your discomfort.

Slams laptop shut dramatically.

Today is my last day online before I take some much-deserved time off. 🥂

2024 has been an incredible year, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting us to support your families. Truly, it’s an honor to do this work every day, and I’m endlessly grateful.

Usually, I wrap up the year wishing I had worked less, but this year… dare I say it… I actually did! Slowly but surely, I’m learning to rest more. Am I perfect at it? LOL, no. But I’m getting there.

I hope you find ways to rest and nourish yourself, too. Ask your partner to handle that late-night feed. Let your mother-in-law take the baby for an hour so you can nap (just one hour, I swear the world won’t end!). Don’t stress if the baby skips a nap—it’s going to be okay.

And if you’re feeling frazzled, don’t hesitate to send me those stressed-out emails over the holidays. I’ll tackle them as soon as I’m back, and we’ll get you rested in no time.

Wishing you the happiest holiday season, the coziest snuggles, and the best sleep. Can’t wait to see you in 2025! 💫

You might not need them immediately, but these two items are MUST HAVES for a registry. Here's why: ⁠
⁠
💡Hatch Baby Rest is more than just a night light - it's a white noise machine, a visual cue that it's time to get up or time to sleep, and is controlled by your smartphone so you don't have to sneak into their room after they've fallen asleep 🤫⁠
⁠
🖤 Portable Black Out Blinds are an upgrade on the trashbags I used when my girls were little, but we've all been there - the light is getting in the way of their sleep and you need to fix it FAST! Suction cup one of these to any window and save yourself some of the stress that comes from having to put babe down for a nap somewhere new 😅⁠

What are some of your must-have baby registry items?

Hey BBS community!

Today, Baby's Best Sleep is taking a step back from social media to be thoughtful and reflective about the significance of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. I won’t be hosting my usual Q&A tonight (it’s been rescheduled for tomorrow), and I encourage you to take this time to pause, reflect, and have meaningful conversations with your family and communities about what today means.

Here are some resources we'll be checking out today:

🛏️ Ready for the ultimate bedtime routine? Catch me on The Good Stuff with Mary Berg ( ) TODAY where I shared some simple Dos & Don’ts to help you wind down and get the best sleep ever! 😴✨ Here’s a recap of my top tips for dreamy nights:

✔️ Do Dim the Lights: Lower light levels signal your body to produce melatonin, prepping you for deeper, restful sleep. 🕯️

❌ Don’t Exercise Before Bed: Avoid intense workouts before sleep, as they can elevate heart rate and adrenaline. Opt for gentle stretching instead. 🧘‍♀️

✔️ Do Take a Warm Bath: Add lavender (like Dr. Teal’s Epsom Salt or L’Occitane Lavender Bubble Bath) to relax muscles and reduce tension. 🛁💜

❌ Don’t Use Screens: Blue light from screens blocks melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep. Use blue-light-blocking glasses if needed! 📵

✔️ Do Create a Dark Room: Use an eye mask and try a weighted blanket for the coziest, most restorative sleep. 🖤💤
