Breaking down some sleep training misinformation.

Let’s be clear! Sleep training isn’t mandatory. Sleep training may not be the right fit for your family, and that’s ok!

But if you are struggling, if your strategies have become overwhelming and not enjoyable, sleep training is safe and effective.

Sun's out, sleep's out? 🌅

Not necessarily! With longer days and brighter nights, kids might have a harder time catching those z's.

Here's the why: melatonin only produces in the dark! 🔆

Blackout curtains, light-blocking tools (), and warm-toned nightlights are your sleep-saving superheroes.

Pro tip: If you can still see your hand in front of your face when the lights are out, it's not dark enough! 🖤

Getting back from vacation or staying late at a family gathering can feel daunting, especially if getting back on track with sleep feels tough! 💙

Generally speaking, the longer you let routines slide, the longer it will take to get back on track.

A good rule of thumb is to get back into anchoring your bedtimes and wake times as consistently as possible post holiday. 🌞

Of course, I mostly find that babies, toddlers and adults with solid routines and rhythms tend to adapt pretty well! If you need help establishing these rhythms and routines, I'm your girl! 📲

From the time babies are in the womb, they are connecting with their parent’s voice💙

Maintaining verbal connections with your baby as you’re working on introducing independent sleep goes MILES in offering comfort and support!

I always encourage clients to use a “key phrase”. A repetition of something like “Mama loves you, time for sleep” can become almost like a Pavlovian trigger for your baby’s brain. They recognize your voice and soothing words and begin to connect that with drifting off to sleep peacefully. 😴

What do you say to your children as they’re going off to sleep?

Bedtime can be a relaxing, connected and peaceful experience for both you and your child. If it’s not, it may be time to assess if your strategies are working for you!

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times "I just don't want to start any bad habits..."

You cannot create bad habits in babies. Full stop. The end.

We all have strategies, some serve us short term and some serve us long term. If you're strategies for sleep are enjoyable, relaxed and effective you're doing just fine!!

If you're struggling with a strategy that doesn't seem to be working anymore, that's where I can help!

Stop worrying about "bad habits", lean in to what works for you! You can change strategies at any time!

Nightmares are tough! How do we stop our children's brains from playing out their worst fears in the night?

The real answer is that we can't stop nightmares from happening, but we can deal with them in a way that encourages our children to get back to sleep as quickly and painlessly as possible.

⭐️ Affirm the emotion not the fear! Don't ask what our child dreamt about, don't reinforce the idea that the fear is real by using *magic sprays* or *potions*. This reinforces to your child that there is something to be afraid of. Instead say something like, "bad dreams are scary, but you are safe in your bed and it was just a dream"

⭐️Use grounding exercises. Point out things to your child that centers them back in their safe space, "here's your stuffy, here's your blanket", etc. These things that they use for comfort will ground them back into their very real space of safety for sleep.

⭐️Develop a calming mantra. "You are safe, you are loved, I am always close by".

⭐️Nightlights for fear of the dark are A-OK! Keep any nightlight warm toned (red, orange, yellow) and dim.

⭐️Maintain calming routines around sleep. Consistent routines help our children know what to expect. A calming routine helps our children feel safe and secure as they prepare for sleep.
